“I think Terrell will catch hell at the sound of the bell.
He's going around saying that he's a championship-fighter,

Muhammad Ali (1942–2016) African American boxer, philanthropist and activist

And blind him with your kindness.
And he'll make war, oh war,
On who you were before.
And he'll claim all that has spoiled in your heart.”
