“Ladies and gentleman, in this corner, from Brooklyn New York, wearing the black trunks with white trim and weighing in at a svelt 45 pounds, the heavyweight champion of the world, Carl “The Crusher” D’Agostino… D’Agostino!” “And in the other corner, his opponent who also hails from Brooklyn New York…”
Go get ’em Champ!! Sorry Carl I couldn’t remember if you were from Brooklyn or Queens, but Brooklyn had a better ring to it for my shtick.
