Line 14:
* [[Death to Smoochy|Spinner Dunne]].
* [[Paul Simon]]'s "The Boxer".

And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down,
Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
But the fighter still remains. }}

So he can always win one more fight. }}
