Boxing Quote by Wesley Snipes
“The demands are rough to do boxing films. Besides the training before you actually start the movie, usually we are doing like 3-4 minute rounds. We do rounds based on the dialogue. You have to do it like 5 or 6 times. You have to stop, your body cools down, and they come over and sprit water on you that feels like they just threw ice on your scrotum. You feel terrible. Then you come back and do that for 3 days back to back.”
