POST FIGHT - JACK DEMPSEY INTERVIEW

Hello again, this is Jersey Jim here with Jack Dempsey at ringside… I have just a few moments here. There’s a line of reporters waiting to ask questions.

JJ: Congratulations, man! Tonight you’ve permanently punched your way into boxing lore! You were the underdog so many times. What’s going through your mind right now?

JD: You know… I don’t know. I think I want to take a vacation somewhere or something.

JJ: The two of you hit each other with shots, my God, most of us couldn’t believe you guys were still standing by the 6th!

JD: Yeah, I know. I was thinkin’ about that myself a few times. Let me tell you, some guys are boxers, some are sluggers. I’m a fighter. As long as I’m standing and there’s another round, I still got a shot to knock out the SOB in front of me. I don’t care who he is or what he’s done to me.”

JJ: Well Jack, I had my money on you and a few times I thought you were done.

JD: Yeah, well, as long as I get up, I ain’t done. And I always get up.

JJ: Were you relieved when the doctor stopped the fight and it was finally over?

JD: Relieved? No. He was bleedin’ not me. I wanted to pound him through the floor. I figured I would have the opportunity to knock the hell out of him when blood started pouring into his good eye. But they stopped the fight before I could finish the job the way I would have liked to.

JJ: What’s next, Jack?

JD: Well, you know, I’d just like to be able to fight in some of the “Inside the Ropes” universes that are out there. You know, just give me a chance to show you what I can do. All these other fighters Louis, Jeffries, Johnson – I see those guys in the write-ups all the time. I feel left out sometimes.

But that’s okay, look at what I’ve done. I beat Ali, Marciano and Louis. And all these nice people have followed this tournament and I want to thank them for their support.

JJ: Thank you, Jack. That’s all we have time for… I see you when I see you!

JD: See you down the road, Jersey-Jim. Keep punching!
