Wow, really?
That was your closest male friend? Unexpected, unexpected, but over a period of time, we just got closer and closer and closer and, you know, very brotherly. And the last public appearance Emanuel ever made...
was my wedding in september of 2012 and that night the wedding was at our house in del mar california and that night he uh his girlfriend came to me and said we have to leave early emmanuel's having stomach pains he was in oncology by the next week he was gone by three weeks later so Very touching to me and, you know, deeply symbolic of my love for him and thus the Cronk Hat.
Yeah, what a classic, Jim. And he was one of the first guys to realize, like, if you crank the heat up, it actually gives guys better conditioning.
He realized a lot of things. Emmanuel was a genius in a lot of ways. And there were a lot of... sort of time-honored rules and techniques in boxing that he quietly upended. Yes. Because he was more advanced in his point of view and thought process. And then everybody else sort of followed his lead. Once they understood what he was doing.
If you saw the McCrory's and Tommy and those guys, why wouldn't you imitate, right?
Right, right. Exactly. Yeah. And he did it at both the amateur and pro level, too. And he was always fantastic, too, as a commentator because he would give insight that you're really not going to get from someone that's not like with these fighters day in, day out through an entire camp. He really understood things.
