# 18 for Roger @ the AO. Trailing in the fifth set, he dug down deep and pulled out the fifth set. At 35 years young, Roger still has something left in the tank. Now if his body will just stay together, he could get another Major this year.
Whom I will quote:
"The difference between a succussful man and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will, because the character rather than education is man's greatest need and man's greatest safeguard. The difference between men is in energy, in the strong will, in a singleness of purpose and an invincible determination."
From Lombardi's speech in Dayton, OH on June 20, 1970. It was his last speech. He entered a hospital one week later, and died on September 3, 1970. He was 57.
they told Pazienza he'd never box again much less win a title.
The interview at the end was inspiring.
Awesome movie!
