this one is so relevant to today's action at the Birds Nest. I saw it on the Track and Field forum and did some googling to get some background on it.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."
In advance of the former heavyweight champion's appearance Saturday night at the Seminole Coconut Creek Casino, where he will perform his one-man stage show, "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth," I asked Tyson if he remembered the origins of that quote.
"People were asking me [before a fight], 'What’s going to happen?,' " Tyson said. "They were talking about his style. 'He's going to give you a lot of lateral movement. He's going to move, he's going to dance. He's going to do this, do that.' I said, "Everybody has a plan until they get hit. Then, like a rat, they stop in fear and freeze.' "
