RAY: (nodding) The HBF's lookin' out for all their fighters, man. Treated my peeps real nice.

PATRICK: (smiling) So what was on the menu?

RAY: (laughing) Ah, too much, man. Lamb, lobster, chicken, roasted pork. Some good eatin', sho 'nuff. And after we eat, President Vincennes invited us all to sit down with him and his wife to watch the card from Berlin, man. Dude, our President is cool.

PATRICK: (laughing) And what did you think of the action from Berlin?

RAY: Some good fights, man. That German dude, Ten-Huff? Man, he was crazy. He's a gutsy fighter, y'all. That was cool for him to be fightin' in front of his people. Something I'd like to do one day, see?

PATRICK: Would you agree that Riddick Bowe showed he's going to be tough to beat?

RAY: (nodding) Definitely. You know, he's the fifth seed, man. HBF got it right with him, no doubt. He's a bad brother, man. Tall, strong and quick. Strange what he said after the fight, though, that stuff about first round knockouts. Can't agree with him on that, y'all. If I can get out of that ring in the first round, I'ma do it, no doubt.

PATRICK: Some have compared you to Riddick Bowe and also Jack Johnson, because of the sense of showmanship that the three of you obviously possess. They've both drawn a lot of attention during the past couple of months.

RAY: (laughing and nodding) Yeah, I seen that in 'em, no doubt. Gonna be real interestin' and entertainin' if we ever get a chance to tackle each other. Now with the tournament draw, there's a chance of me endin' up in Bowe's group in stage two.

PATRICK: Johnson's going to be on Dave Letterman's show on Thursday night.

RAY: Yeah, I'll be watchin' that, sho 'nuff. Jacky Johnson, he's a real cool brother, see? He's smooth as they come. Dave's a goofy, funny dude, so it's gonna be fun watchin' them hit it off.

PATRICK: Well, Elmer, thanks so much for joining us tonight. It's been a pleasure having you on the show.

RAY: (nodding and smiling) Thank you.

PATRICK: Elmer Ray, everybody.
