Tank: Roy Jones Jr. ain´t gonna knock out Mike Tyson.

*during the fight, Abbott is demolished by his hundred

pound lighter opposition within minutes*

Tyson after all.

the Superbrawl 13 heavyweight tournament that you

had a few words. Rumor or true?

Tank Abbott: I don't know who that is.

Sherwood: He is a bald guy who supposedly came up

to you and said something about you going to wrestling.

Tank Abbot: I don't know who he is. I don't even think

I was at Superbrawl.

Sherwood: Yeah you were there. I saw you on tape.

It was in Hawaii.

Tank Abbott: Oh I was drunk.

Sherwood: You jumped in the ring!

Tank Abbott: Yeah, you gotta have fun. It was probably

the most non-boring part of the show.

were going to make an example of me, showing what a

martial artist could do to a street fighter. That's why

and say, "Look at what our martial arts can do to your

street fighter." But it blew up in their faces." -Tank Abbott.

All you un-athletic people out there, you know this for a fact.

Little kids learn Jiu-Jitsu. Women learn Jiu-Jitsu. You don't have

to be an athlete to know Jiu-Jitsu. You have to be an athlete to

wrestle in college, or to walk into a boxing gym and have

competitive boxing matches and fight people. You just have to

be a bitch and lay on your back to know Jiu-Jitsu. I mean, come

on. It's the truth." -Tank Abbott
