Larry Merchant has said some unforgettable things over the years in his many decades of experience as a ringside analyst for HBO Boxing. Each weekday we will post one of his quotes. It may be a quote that is insightful, it may be a quote that is hilarious, it may be a quote that is just plain odd.The following Merchant quote comes from one of the better HBO Boxing After Dark telecasts. It was one that was headlined by Hasim Rahman being knocked out of the ring by Oleg Maskaev. Somehow, that wasn't even the best knockout of the night as Derrick Jefferson brutally finished Maurice Harris in the opening bout of the televised portion of the card. And with that, came one of Larry Merchant's funnier phrases.
"Derrick Jefferson...I LOVE YOU!"
Interesting note: When "Sugar" Shane Mosley finished Ricardo Mayorga with no time left in their September bout last year on HBO World Championship Boxing, Merchant said, "Shane Mosley...I LOVE YOU!"
