Wo wir gerade beim Thema Pferde sind: Roberto Duran soll mit 14 Jahren ein Pferd erschlagen haben. Ist das wahr?
Er soll angetrunken ein Pferd mit einem Schlag ausgeknockt haben. Allerdings war er da schon älter und ob es wahr ist, keine Ahnung. Zuzutrauen ist ihm das. Er gilt aber auch als tierlieb und hatte nen Privatzoo auf seinem Grundstück. Na ja, vielleicht auch nur um Sparringspartner zu haben.
Duran selbst gab in irgendeinem Interview diesen Kommentar dazu ab. Quelle weiß ich aber nicht mehr.
"My mother's town, Guarare, every year they have a feast," he recalled.
"I went there with $150, a lot of money for me then. My whole family was drinking whisky and now I was down to about $30. Then this guy said, 'I'll bet you a bottle of whisky and $50 you can't knock out that horse over there. I looked at the horse and I thought, 'The horse has no jaw; where am I going
to hit him?' But my uncle, Socrates Garcia, told me: 'Hit him behind the ear.
If you hit him there, he will go down.' I said, 'Somebody hold the money,'
then I walked over and hit the horse behind the ear and the horse went down. I tore a hole in my hand, nothing broken, but it was bleeding," he said, holding out his right hand and pointing to the knuckle area. My uncle wanted me to go to the hospital to bandage my right hand, but I had so many drinks in me, I didn't feel the pain. I stayed at the party."
Aber nicht nachmachen, Jisi.
