As an Ironworker for Local 46 in New York City for many years
I know the most dangerous man on the job is the one who thinks he knows it all!
Yet in stark reality does not have all the clues
Strident overconfidence can trump even blatant inexperience
In bringing forth suddenly the injury and death!
Construction safety blues!
Boxing is a game where the same sweet science rules apply
Underestimate your hard-working determined opponent?
Talk of a knock-out in the first-round?
Boast of your skills being far superior?
And you can find yourself in the same place at the end of the first round
Where the young upstart boxer Teofimo Lopez lied!
Flat on the canvas and looking quite surprised!
The new undisputed champion George Kambosos with great heart!
Fast hands!
Good sound practiced strategy!
Sturdy chin!
And excellent conditioning!
Earned his take-over as the undisputed champion of the lightweight division titles
The once-rising star boxer/puncher young fighter Mr. Lopez learned a valuable lesson in life
That can be for him
And the general public quite vital!
Never believe the headlines when they are screaming your indomitable praise!
Any man can be defeated in the ring by another man with lesser talent who displays
More grit!
Determination,!
Will-power to win!
And courage to at the end have his hands raised
Mr. Lopez will grow from this great loss
The Busted-Up Boss!
And become an even better fighter!
To his fans I say keep the faith!
The Australian champion boxer George Kambosos
Proved himself in Madison Square Garden a tough hombre for any challenger
Who stands opposing him with both gloves laced
In the ruthless sport of boxing!
Even the greatest fighters of them all
Have seen their dreams dashed!
Especially when they have overlooked
The ferocious fighters they have faced
Ruinous things are not easily replaced
Nor is their the want for these acts to become commonplace
Overconfidence is a mental drug that can lull you to sleep
Resulting in dangerous mission creep!
In a flash!
All of your past accomplishments will be abruptly erased
