00:07:58 Why were you massacred in London by Vic Andeeti?
00:11:26 I'm the one who gives her lunch and dinner every day.
00:13:08 I was afraid of getting beaten up, so I started pounding him first.
00:14:38 Before you became an amateur boxer, what did you do? Shine shoes?
00:16:16 - How long was he your manager? - He was always my manager.
00:17:50 he turned up in Lisbon, and even though he said I cheated him
00:19:25 but I came right back to Lisbon. A few months later, I went back there
00:23:03 he was training near Sintra
00:24:52 They understood that I was a real boxer
00:26:26 I fought Chico Santos at Mayer Park
00:30:45 She had meningitis, and went blind for seven months.
00:32:02 Because I didn't have any money to support her.
00:33:48 - Tell me. - I can't.
00:41:16 - That's all I remember... - Any nodes?..
00:42:51 But after a so-called knockout
00:45:47 - Is it? Do you think so? - I do.
00:47:34 and you waste your nights and you drink a lot...
00:48:58 By hitting with your head or with a small open-handed slap
00:50:22 and nearly hit your opponent's jaw with your elbow.
01:01:22 with no commitments at all
01:03:10 It has nothing to do with women. People always talk too much.
01:05:14 I'm too old for that, I'm already 32.
03:03:03 - So you've only got a year to live?
