Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bike, and he didn't do that where he mentioned all
of the accolades and everything else, but his life his
fam tell me about his family that people don't know,
his wife and kids and the impact that they had
on him.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, his wife, Lisa was just a phenomenal caregiver for
the last two years of Dean's life. She was just tremendous.
He has two great boys, Uh, Jack who was a
Sophomarke University of Kentucky and lukesa junior at Trinity.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Both all kids are just wonderful kids. Dean and Lisa
just did a tremendous job raising them. Super proud of them,
and it was it was hard for him, of course,
you know over these last two years to see Dean
the way he was, it was tough, but you know,
they were always there for Dean, did everything. Lisa should
get a nursing degree for all that she had done
(00:51):
and all she had learned and how she provided for
Dean just tremendous.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
What were the things that he told you guys before
before the end, sort of like Cali goes out, He's
leaving his family here with the kids and all, and
you guys are going to be de facto fathers.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yeah, that's something that Lisa said, and I reiterate what
Ox said. I mean, Lisa's just the best when she's
the best, and he loved Lisa more than anything. And
his two sons and Jack and Luke are great.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
One of the things that Lisa said to me one
night after I got back from unfortunately was on spring
break when Dean pass got back, and she said, he's
going to need some father figures now, Luke, because Luke
was really taking it tough. So the way that I
looked at that was everything that when Dean and I
coached football or anything we did together, all that energy
and support that I had for him, I'm going to
(01:41):
put that towards Lisa and the boys. I owe that
to him. There is a small debt of gratitude. Dean
told me so much, gave me so much. I can
never repay him, but I'm going to do the very
best I can.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Now, was Dean the best football player you coached?
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Oh gosh, I had many great.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
That's why it's a tough one. But dudefl No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
I mean no, he was Yes.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
I would say yes because he was able to go
on and because he was. I mean, gosh, he goes
from playing defensive tackle for US in full back, then
he goes to University of Kentucky he plays defense tackle
on defensive end, and then he makes it the NFL.
He's playing linebacker. I mean those are three completely different,
you know, things you have to learn, have to be
(02:25):
able to play, have to be able to read.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
It was. Yeah, I think it's fascinating though. As accomplished
as he was as a college football players, high school football,
and certainly it's an NFL player that's the highest, as
high as you can get the gold stand.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Oh yeah, that question and then be there nine years
and to compete.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
And to compete and be that successful at that level.
But yet that never defined him because that was the
smallest part of life.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think that's the whole point, isn't it. Yeah, you're right, No, no,
most that's the calling card they have. Oh you know
he played in the NFL, But that was the opposite.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Not a word, not a mention, no, never, it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
All right, we're gonna need to have we're gonna need
to do something in the South. Then we're gonna have
a plaque or we're gonna have something, right, I'm gonna
have to have something out front of a lacrosse or
something exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And I just want to say, you know, people don't
realize how great Dean was as far as an athlete
and football player. And you know, I hope the city
of Louisville and the state of Kentucky's proud of him.
And hopefully one day, you know, he can get into
the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame or the University of
Kentucky Hall of Fame because he deserves it, you know,
he really does for all that he's accomplished. So hopefully
we can get behind him on that.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
And a lot of people don't know that he was
an All American in high school.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Uh, he never told anybody.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
In fact, I was reading the obituary and it said
first came on State, and I was.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Like, dag on it. Well, he never knew.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
After he had graduated, the paper work and all that
stuff came.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
To school and I had it. Oh, and I told him,
I said, hey, he never made the yearbook. Well I
called him and.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Say, hey, you're an All American.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
He goes, oh, really, he said, yeah, Now.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
He goes, how do you know, I said, well, because
I got the paper here, I'm reading it. So he goes, okay,
hang on to that for me. Said, okay, so I
don't know. Twenty years later I gave it to him. No,
And I said, what twenty years later?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Sorry, when you get hey, when you gave it to
him to take his gum out and put it in
there and holding it up. I know.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
We got my buddy, Craig Descendancy on the phone. We're
gonna have time to get to him. But Craig, I
love you, buddy. I'll call you later on that again.
That's I'm sure the coaching connection through Craig and he
of course is Turnity High School and his son is
graduating this year. Matter of fact, I go to play
football in college. All right, So guys, I appreciate you
guys coming in today and talking about Dean. I think
we needed to do that, and I think we did
(04:48):
it right on uh on the way to do it.
And if you have any parting thoughts that you want
to say about Dean, feel free to do it now.
If not, we're gonna a little break.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
It was just amazing, seem to see the way he
worked as a young man and then to see what
he accomplished.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
It was.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
He was truly one of the greatest guys I knew.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And it says a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The way you off of acting.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I agree with Dennis. I mean, he was one of
my closest friends. I'm gonna miss him every day. Put
a find your special horse in the derby, puts some
money on it. Love horse racing, Okay, more than anything.
He was the We go to Saratoga and he'd be
the guy six in the morning, ox right, putting tablecloss
down and on picnic tables and everything else. So find
a special horse and putting one on for Dino.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, just the greatest to ever do it in my opinion,
just as far as a person, athlete, everything. Just a
tremendous person and like Brat said, loved horses, loved Saratoga,
organize all of our guy trips, just did a tremendous job.
He was our big toes what we called he was
really missing.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Coach without question. But one more real quick this is
for you, Dwayne. Okay, okay, So father in the middle
of the mass. Yeah, if you're a mass he goes.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I met Dean. My first year is being a pastor
here and we win the toy boat.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
He goes, I'm not I'm familiar with that because when
I was at Saint Lawrence the first year as a pastor,
we won the toy boat, and he goes, don't you
think it's ironic that we had to have a South
End boy come out here?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And by the way, we talked before we got on
the air, it's amazing. Now in the NFL, ty I
played nine years, he's more proud of the toy bowl.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It's right.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Dean Wells, rest in peace, my friend. Back after this
on these radio A forty w a chance, we started
the Show League south Side Reunion with Dwight and it
got crazy early and then I turn around. We were
(06:53):
going to talk to your buddy from Metro Safe and
I turn around and superstars standing in.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Front Roy Roy Jones Junior. B Let's say Roy Jones
Junior sixty six wins forty seven by knockout right, Hey,
mister Jones.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Before we do this, look at that clean face. Do
he never been hit? Have been hit?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Roy Jones Junior? Real quick? Get up, that's good now
stand over next to Tony.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah no, no, Roy Jones Junior, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Man, I'm doing good. Brother. How y'all doing.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
We're doing great.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
We're doing great. Man. We want to talk about this
fight tomorrow night right. I want to talk about Roy
Jones Junior's advance, but let's first talk about a robbery.
Let's go back to the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh, we want to start with Korea.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So I when we first found out you were going
to come on the air, I'm starting to think of
my box like watching I grew up watching boxing. It
was just part of life, right from Louisville. Four heavyweight
champs from Louisville. It's part of our DNA. And I
remember the only real Olympic medal match that I can
remember ever was you getting robbed in South Korea.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Yep, that's that was exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It was water and again you and you were you.
I just said Olympics and you were like, oh yeah,
you whooped this kid for three rounds and when they
gave it to him, it was like a watershed moment
in boxing. Talk about that real quick nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
It was crazy because not only that beat him, but
in the second round he even got an eight count.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
Well you get an eight count.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Yeah, so he sent an eight count you know you
getting fow and the commentator, I never forget it. The
commentator said, if Roy Jones un it doesn't get a
gold medal. Here is something very rotten in Korea and
so it must be a lot of ridding stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
And how long do you carry that? I mean, because
you know, I know everybody knows, even your opponent knows
that you win the fight. How long do you carry that?
Or can you even let it go? Because I would
not be I'm not strong enough a man to let
it go.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
I'm not strong enough man go either. But they didn't
go enough that I could go do what God had
destined for me to.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
God love you man, so to.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Me, I used it as motivation.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
I felt like God said, God said you were the
best fighter there. They gave you that, but it didn't
give you a gold medal. So now go turn pro
and show them why you were the best fighter there.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well, I can tell you, I can tell you twenty
million dollars a fight make me forget a.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Lot seven knockouts. Let's talk to Kelvin Sparrow real quick,
because you got to be proud you got a sun
fighting in the main event.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Proud Papa, right, Yeah, I'm definitely proud. And then you know,
more so a little bit more. You know, happiness come
with a legends as Roy Jones that see price out
of Kentucky and say man of our places. Kentucky got somebody,
you know, with the future to be built around. So
with Roy my son and you know Roy executive here
ed you know what I mean, back and everything as well,
(09:50):
it's a good feeling for us, as you know kentuckyans.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, I think you're in a different category with boxers,
because boxers there's fighters, there's punchers, and then there's people
that just got they got all of it and style
like you. You were just the great ones make it
look easy. And I'm sure people said, well it's naturally
(10:14):
comes to Roy, but that doesn't That don't make sense to.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
You, doesn't make sense at all.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Like I said one of my sons, and they got
the nerve to say, I ain't fighting nobody.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I just make them look like, no.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's right. But you you do have flash, you have things,
you did things you stick your chin out there and
dare them to come out. I mean that's crazy.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Yeah, but that was part of my thing, because what
I wanted was I wanted when people watch me, I
want you to know that you're watching me. I'm entertaining you.
So when you come at this radio station, you got
something to talk about. The fight that you saw last night.
You gonna remember something from that fight and you're gonna
talk about it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
So listen, Roy Jones Junior, to compete at your level,
sixty six wins forty seven by way a knockout, it's
got to be your passion. It's got to be somewhat
most of your life. You get to retirement. How hard
is that, man? Because there's some things, there are some
things that they are in your life that you just
can't clean out of your veins. You just can't do it.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
I'm serious, and that will never get out of my veins.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
All yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
But what I try to do is give it back
to young kids like Sparrol's son. Yeah, I give it
back to them and watch them go put it to
youth that I know. I'm doing what God wanted me
to do with it.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Calvin Sparrow, what's that like when when Roy Jokes Junior
says something like that about your son, surreal, it means
a whole lot.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
You know, sometimes you know, you be so trapped in
the moment that you don't have time to relish in
the moment. And for me, you know, my son been
doing it for roughly now ten years, over one hundred
and something amateur fights, so he veiled well versed in fighting,
but we're not real versed and having somebody of the
calib of a legend like Royd Jones saying hey, I
see what you're doing, I see what you then did.
(11:47):
Now I want to help you do this, So that
means a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
A boxing match, I think sometimes is like life. Just
like life, you're trying to figure out. Look, there's a
bit to me in my opinion, and I have no problem.
You have seen they do a great job. But it's
it's a different beast boxing you. It's it's all about smarts.
It's all about figuring what he's doing wrong and then
(12:12):
capitalizing and then doing the little smile in your in
your head, not on your face that.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
I got him.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Uh, tell me about that process. And because we talked
about sports all the time, when we talk about how
football is like that, like a boxing match, you know,
in the first half, the football team's just going test, test, test,
and the second half the team cleans you out. Boxing
is the same way, talk about the how smart you
have to be to be a boxer.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
That's the exact thing that boxing is missing today.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
They don't have enough teachers who are teaching guys how
to carry it, carry it on to the second half
and then change the way the game goes, change the momentum.
With the setup game. I called it the setup game.
You know, say me, I teach the setup game. I
don't teach his boxing. I teach the setup game. I
want you to go out there and make him do
something that you want him to do, then punish him
for doing it.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
That's to set up game.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Let's talk about the state of boxing right now. I'm
a boxing boxing fan. I remember watching formerly come back
in the eighties, and it was big in the sixties, seventies, eighties,
even nineties, but then it's kind of faltered. I think
it's because of UFC. You used to have, you know,
these flamboyant fighters like Hector Macho Camacho, and there was
(13:20):
a lot to the sport and every seemed like every
fight had something to offer. But it seems like that's
kind of dropped off, Well the fight. Will boxing come
back to where it used to be, because I sure
as hell wish it would.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Well, I'm gonna tell you that this boxing might come back.
There's a group in the UK called Striker. Yeah, they're
really trying to bring boxing back on that level. Good
and if they get if they're successful and they listen
to what I tell them, yeah we will bring it back.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
But here's what happened.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
People start avoiding fights and making big money by avoiding
fights till they got to the big fight, right Yeah,
and that ruined everybody because not everybody wants to do that.
And then and then boxing is not a team sport.
These guys go to clicking up and oh he's my friend.
I don't want to fight my friend, and get the
hell out of here, right see. But the United States
(14:10):
and with the world, the United States is also part
to blame for that because things like you gotta have
like a woman talent, you know what I'm saying. Mean, Yeah,
you tell me you don't want to see this happening.
You don't want to see that happening, But you want
my seventeen eighteen year old son to sign up for
the draft. And there's a war. If there's a war,
he gotta go. But he ain't never seen nothing fight
to the death before. He never seen nothing that before.
(14:32):
You know what I'm saying me. But if a draft come,
he got to go to that war.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
We're not preparing them right properly for what we set
them up to go do.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Because it's a possibility that your son may get drafted
to go put his life on the line.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And that's every sport. That's every sport. Lebron's friends with
his worst enemies. It's crazy. They exchange jerseys at the
end of games. And back in the day he was like,
don't even talk to me.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
That's exactly right. But when when it was that, don't
even talk to me. That's what boxing is. See basketball
as a team sport, and basketball has messed up to you,
right because you swapping jersey with your enemy today. Tomorrow
your enemy might be your teammates. We're not teaching lords
no more.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
That's exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
We're not pushing Lord you no more.
Speaker 8 (15:10):
So people say, and I always say this too, even
though you know it's a lot of religions. The integrity
of religious people, especially the Christians, has declined because we
go for anything Now, Magic Johnson was not playing with
Larry Bird. Larry Bird was not playing with you.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
This Irving.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Irving was not playing with Dominique Wilkins. They just they
had their own block. They're gonna make their own teams strong.
That's what life was about back then. That's what boxing
was about back then. But after I left boxing changed
is how much money can we make?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Speaking of gold for anything and how much money can
we make? Do you ever have any dealings with Don King?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Two times?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
And if Shaul did he get you?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
He didn't get me.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
But I had two dealings with him, but I was
smart enough to make sure I had exits when I
was doing the deal.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Good for you?
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Wow, So you gotta sign what's done with an automatic
exit plan?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
No, or he gonna get you. He's better at getting
you than you are not letting him get you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Is he still alive?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Yeah, he's still live. Ye, still doing what he does? No,
still doing what he does. He's still done. Kings still
don King be done. Key to the day he died,
And God gave me a cunstant reminder. My twins were
born the exact same day as him.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Sixty years later.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh no, that's great.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
They give me a custom reminder.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Who's greatest fighter of all time? Are you? No?
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Mumm?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And okay anyway, class.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
The greatest of all time?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Ok let me tell you the story of a little
boy that got his bike stolen from him.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Stop it, you'll be quiet. Be quiet. That's absolutely okay.
So how do we watch boxing this weekend?
Speaker 4 (16:45):

Speaker 8 (17:28):
There is a guy named Eddie Evans from Atlanta. About
my seventh eighth fight, hit me so hard, I got
so mad. I hit up stopping him in the next round.
But I always had this. I had this thing where
if you hit me one time, I owe you six, right.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Rule.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Well, he hit me so hard I feel like I
owed him twelve.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Is there anybody that you underestimated? You say, no, you
so you took everybody. Seriously, there was no Meda Cans
for you.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
And even to me, he was supposed to be somewhere
the tomatic can really but I knew better. But when
he came in with all those muscles, I knew he
went Tomato can. But when he hit me, I was like, oh,
I got to kill him.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Next mind. I hit him with two shots. He goes down,
refe stops.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
I said, no, I ain't got atrail back there.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
What you doing? No, you can't stop it.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
No, So the rest of my career, my career looking
for him because I said, I just need to hid
him for a spawn partner shop.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I'm killing career.

I look for that dude, and I never.
Speaker 1 (18:40):

Please go on Saturday night watch this boxing match. Good
luck to your son were.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I want to ask you, Kelvin, what what's that mean?
Your son's in the main event. Are you jittery already
or are you used to it from the nerves? But
this is quite different.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Man.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
You know you're gonna always have nerves, you know what
I mean. But it's the way that you you know,
transfer that energy. It's more of a positive nerve than
a negative nothing. And that positive is that you know,
when you're nervous, it's just make you be a little
bit more sharper, make better decisions versus going out there
being reckless. But you know, we ready for it, you know,
Big fight night at the Gillespie seven o'clock Saturday night tonight,
(19:19):
actually tonight at Derby City Gaming here downtown is the
official way in.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
Five o'clock, five, five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I've been to a couple of ways. They're really cool.
Five o'clock tonight.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Let me say one was absolutely excuse my language. Excuse
my language. Yeah, but the father has to be really nervous,
and it's hard. People don't understand this. I understand because
I'm a trainer. So he has to be really, really
nervous because if that kid loses his wife is gonna
kick his aig.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Stop right there time. That was my next question for you,
Roy Jones Junior, that's my next question for you. You start fighting,
you getting these big fun was your mother? How does
she take that? I mean, because this was this the
mother's love is like none of you can't comprehend it.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
That's why I'm trying to tell you what I tell you.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Better find out if I find her out home.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
My mama.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
When I thought she was worse than I was, what
she watched watch she was, she worse than I am.
She walking around with the worst attitude than I got
cause I'm fighting. Yeah, she met with the world because
I'm fighting.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, I guarantee it say.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Something wrong about her son. And if you're going to
feel not where soon came?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's just that's the truth. Because if you coach any sport,
you know that comes from the mom, like the dad.
If the mom's crazy, you go, okay, I can take
his kid. Is all right? That's that's the truth. Uh,

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Action packed first hour, we had a South End reunion
Dean Wells, remember Deanie remembering Dean Wells, a NFL football
player from the South End. It was much more than that.
As matter of fact, you couldn't probably drag out of
him that he played in the NFL for nine years
when the average is about three or four for really
(22:56):
good players. And then all of a sudden, I was
going to talked to Jody from Metro and I turned
around and Roy Jones Junior is standing in this Yeah
well I was like, oh, am G.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I walked out, I had to get a piece of
paper write a number down, and I walked down the
studio and it looks like Roy Jones Jr. Uh, it's
Roy Jones Jr.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And I'm not kidding you. I was seventeen eighteen years
old watching that fight he had where he got robbed
in Korea, and I'll never forget it. It's really the
only Olympic boxing match you've ever remember. It was watershed
moment because he whooped this kid, this Korean guy. It's
Roy Jones Junior, one of the greatest boxers of all time.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Roy Jones Junior said that he they after they gave
his opponent the standing eight. He heard the commentator say,
if he doesn't win this, I forgot what he said.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So, you know, people that don't know, Roy Jones Junior
whooped this guy in the metal round and they gave
it to the Korean in Korea, and after the entire
Olympics were over, royd Juwes Junior was presented with the
fighter of the entire tournament because they knew that something
(24:13):
had gone wrong. Wow. So back to back great segments
right there, and as we continue through the morning, we
will have a Crusade for Children trivia. Maddie mccarticle is
going to join us for that one. Please stick around
for that. But meanwhile, top the hour, let's talk about U.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Aqualock A culluck my friend. Let me take away red On.
I get what he is much needed some pump so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Aqua Loock eight eight two nine to six to oh
Louisville aquaalock dot com basement waterproofing, cross base raid on mitigation.
That's what Dwight's talking about. And he needs a sub
pump that's gonna work. He hasn't changed it out over
a decade. Might want to do that. Aqua looc you
know the name because they're the best. Aqua loc eight
eight two nine six O back after this on NewsRadio
(25:09):
eight forty wh
Bike, and he didn't do that where he mentioned all
of the accolades and everything else, but his life his
fam tell me about his family that people don't know,
his wife and kids and the impact that they had
on him.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, his wife, Lisa was just a phenomenal caregiver for
the last two years of Dean's life. She was just tremendous.
He has two great boys, Uh, Jack who was a
Sophomarke University of Kentucky and lukesa junior at Trinity.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Both all kids are just wonderful kids. Dean and Lisa
just did a tremendous job raising them. Super proud of them,
and it was it was hard for him, of course,
you know over these last two years to see Dean
the way he was, it was tough, but you know,
they were always there for Dean, did everything. Lisa should
get a nursing degree for all that she had done
(00:51):
and all she had learned and how she provided for
Dean just tremendous.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
What were the things that he told you guys before
before the end, sort of like Cali goes out, He's
leaving his family here with the kids and all, and
you guys are going to be de facto fathers.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yeah, that's something that Lisa said, and I reiterate what
Ox said. I mean, Lisa's just the best when she's
the best, and he loved Lisa more than anything. And
his two sons and Jack and Luke are great.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
One of the things that Lisa said to me one
night after I got back from unfortunately was on spring
break when Dean pass got back, and she said, he's
going to need some father figures now, Luke, because Luke
was really taking it tough. So the way that I
looked at that was everything that when Dean and I
coached football or anything we did together, all that energy
and support that I had for him, I'm going to
(01:41):
put that towards Lisa and the boys. I owe that
to him. There is a small debt of gratitude. Dean
told me so much, gave me so much. I can
never repay him, but I'm going to do the very
best I can.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Now, was Dean the best football player you coached?
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Oh gosh, I had many great.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
That's why it's a tough one. But dudefl No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
I mean no, he was Yes.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
I would say yes because he was able to go
on and because he was. I mean, gosh, he goes
from playing defensive tackle for US in full back, then
he goes to University of Kentucky he plays defense tackle
on defensive end, and then he makes it the NFL.
He's playing linebacker. I mean those are three completely different,
you know, things you have to learn, have to be
(02:25):
able to play, have to be able to read.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
It was. Yeah, I think it's fascinating though. As accomplished
as he was as a college football players, high school football,
and certainly it's an NFL player that's the highest, as
high as you can get the gold stand.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Oh yeah, that question and then be there nine years
and to compete.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
And to compete and be that successful at that level.
But yet that never defined him because that was the
smallest part of life.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think that's the whole point, isn't it. Yeah, you're right, No, no,
most that's the calling card they have. Oh you know
he played in the NFL, But that was the opposite.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Not a word, not a mention, no, never, it's incredible.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
All right, we're gonna need to have we're gonna need
to do something in the South. Then we're gonna have
a plaque or we're gonna have something, right, I'm gonna
have to have something out front of a lacrosse or
something exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And I just want to say, you know, people don't
realize how great Dean was as far as an athlete
and football player. And you know, I hope the city
of Louisville and the state of Kentucky's proud of him.
And hopefully one day, you know, he can get into
the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame or the University of
Kentucky Hall of Fame because he deserves it, you know,
he really does for all that he's accomplished. So hopefully
we can get behind him on that.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
And a lot of people don't know that he was
an All American in high school.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Uh, he never told anybody.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
In fact, I was reading the obituary and it said
first came on State, and I was.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Like, dag on it. Well, he never knew.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
After he had graduated, the paper work and all that
stuff came.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
To school and I had it. Oh, and I told him,
I said, hey, he never made the yearbook. Well I
called him and.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Say, hey, you're an All American.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
He goes, oh, really, he said, yeah, Now.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
He goes, how do you know, I said, well, because
I got the paper here, I'm reading it. So he goes, okay,
hang on to that for me. Said, okay, so I
don't know. Twenty years later I gave it to him. No,
And I said, what twenty years later?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Sorry, when you get hey, when you gave it to
him to take his gum out and put it in
there and holding it up. I know.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
We got my buddy, Craig Descendancy on the phone. We're
gonna have time to get to him. But Craig, I
love you, buddy. I'll call you later on that again.
That's I'm sure the coaching connection through Craig and he
of course is Turnity High School and his son is
graduating this year. Matter of fact, I go to play
football in college. All right, So guys, I appreciate you
guys coming in today and talking about Dean. I think
we needed to do that, and I think we did
(04:48):
it right on uh on the way to do it.
And if you have any parting thoughts that you want
to say about Dean, feel free to do it now.
If not, we're gonna a little break.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
It was just amazing, seem to see the way he
worked as a young man and then to see what
he accomplished.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
It was.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
He was truly one of the greatest guys I knew.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And it says a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The way you off of acting.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I agree with Dennis. I mean, he was one of
my closest friends. I'm gonna miss him every day. Put
a find your special horse in the derby, puts some
money on it. Love horse racing, Okay, more than anything.
He was the We go to Saratoga and he'd be
the guy six in the morning, ox right, putting tablecloss
down and on picnic tables and everything else. So find
a special horse and putting one on for Dino.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, just the greatest to ever do it in my opinion,
just as far as a person, athlete, everything. Just a
tremendous person and like Brat said, loved horses, loved Saratoga,
organize all of our guy trips, just did a tremendous job.
He was our big toes what we called he was
really missing.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Coach without question. But one more real quick this is
for you, Dwayne. Okay, okay, So father in the middle
of the mass. Yeah, if you're a mass he goes.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I met Dean. My first year is being a pastor
here and we win the toy boat.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
He goes, I'm not I'm familiar with that because when
I was at Saint Lawrence the first year as a pastor,
we won the toy boat, and he goes, don't you
think it's ironic that we had to have a South
End boy come out here?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And by the way, we talked before we got on
the air, it's amazing. Now in the NFL, ty I
played nine years, he's more proud of the toy bowl.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It's right.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Dean Wells, rest in peace, my friend. Back after this
on these radio A forty w a chance, we started
the Show League south Side Reunion with Dwight and it
got crazy early and then I turn around. We were
(06:53):
going to talk to your buddy from Metro Safe and
I turn around and superstars standing in.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Front Roy Roy Jones Junior. B Let's say Roy Jones
Junior sixty six wins forty seven by knockout right, Hey,
mister Jones.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Before we do this, look at that clean face. Do
he never been hit? Have been hit?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Roy Jones Junior? Real quick? Get up, that's good now
stand over next to Tony.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah no, no, Roy Jones Junior, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Man, I'm doing good. Brother. How y'all doing.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
We're doing great.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
We're doing great. Man. We want to talk about this
fight tomorrow night right. I want to talk about Roy
Jones Junior's advance, but let's first talk about a robbery.
Let's go back to the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh, we want to start with Korea.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So I when we first found out you were going
to come on the air, I'm starting to think of
my box like watching I grew up watching boxing. It
was just part of life, right from Louisville. Four heavyweight
champs from Louisville. It's part of our DNA. And I
remember the only real Olympic medal match that I can
remember ever was you getting robbed in South Korea.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Yep, that's that was exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It was water and again you and you were you.
I just said Olympics and you were like, oh yeah,
you whooped this kid for three rounds and when they
gave it to him, it was like a watershed moment
in boxing. Talk about that real quick nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
It was crazy because not only that beat him, but
in the second round he even got an eight count.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
Well you get an eight count.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Yeah, so he sent an eight count you know you
getting fow and the commentator, I never forget it. The
commentator said, if Roy Jones un it doesn't get a
gold medal. Here is something very rotten in Korea and
so it must be a lot of ridding stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
And how long do you carry that? I mean, because
you know, I know everybody knows, even your opponent knows
that you win the fight. How long do you carry that?
Or can you even let it go? Because I would
not be I'm not strong enough a man to let
it go.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
I'm not strong enough man go either. But they didn't
go enough that I could go do what God had
destined for me to.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
God love you man, so to.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Me, I used it as motivation.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
I felt like God said, God said you were the
best fighter there. They gave you that, but it didn't
give you a gold medal. So now go turn pro
and show them why you were the best fighter there.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well, I can tell you, I can tell you twenty
million dollars a fight make me forget a.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Lot seven knockouts. Let's talk to Kelvin Sparrow real quick,
because you got to be proud you got a sun
fighting in the main event.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Proud Papa, right, Yeah, I'm definitely proud. And then you know,
more so a little bit more. You know, happiness come
with a legends as Roy Jones that see price out
of Kentucky and say man of our places. Kentucky got somebody,
you know, with the future to be built around. So
with Roy my son and you know Roy executive here
ed you know what I mean, back and everything as well,
(09:50):
it's a good feeling for us, as you know kentuckyans.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, I think you're in a different category with boxers,
because boxers there's fighters, there's punchers, and then there's people
that just got they got all of it and style
like you. You were just the great ones make it
look easy. And I'm sure people said, well it's naturally
(10:14):
comes to Roy, but that doesn't That don't make sense to.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
You, doesn't make sense at all.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Like I said one of my sons, and they got
the nerve to say, I ain't fighting nobody.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I just make them look like, no.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's right. But you you do have flash, you have things,
you did things you stick your chin out there and
dare them to come out. I mean that's crazy.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Yeah, but that was part of my thing, because what
I wanted was I wanted when people watch me, I
want you to know that you're watching me. I'm entertaining you.
So when you come at this radio station, you got
something to talk about. The fight that you saw last night.
You gonna remember something from that fight and you're gonna
talk about it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
So listen, Roy Jones Junior, to compete at your level,
sixty six wins forty seven by way a knockout, it's
got to be your passion. It's got to be somewhat
most of your life. You get to retirement. How hard
is that, man? Because there's some things, there are some
things that they are in your life that you just
can't clean out of your veins. You just can't do it.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
I'm serious, and that will never get out of my veins.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
All yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
But what I try to do is give it back
to young kids like Sparrol's son. Yeah, I give it
back to them and watch them go put it to
youth that I know. I'm doing what God wanted me
to do with it.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Calvin Sparrow, what's that like when when Roy Jokes Junior
says something like that about your son, surreal, it means
a whole lot.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
You know, sometimes you know, you be so trapped in
the moment that you don't have time to relish in
the moment. And for me, you know, my son been
doing it for roughly now ten years, over one hundred
and something amateur fights, so he veiled well versed in fighting,
but we're not real versed and having somebody of the
calib of a legend like Royd Jones saying hey, I
see what you're doing, I see what you then did.
(11:47):
Now I want to help you do this, So that
means a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
A boxing match, I think sometimes is like life. Just
like life, you're trying to figure out. Look, there's a
bit to me in my opinion, and I have no problem.
You have seen they do a great job. But it's
it's a different beast boxing you. It's it's all about smarts.
It's all about figuring what he's doing wrong and then
(12:12):
capitalizing and then doing the little smile in your in
your head, not on your face that.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
I got him.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Uh, tell me about that process. And because we talked
about sports all the time, when we talk about how
football is like that, like a boxing match, you know,
in the first half, the football team's just going test, test, test,
and the second half the team cleans you out. Boxing
is the same way, talk about the how smart you
have to be to be a boxer.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
That's the exact thing that boxing is missing today.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
They don't have enough teachers who are teaching guys how
to carry it, carry it on to the second half
and then change the way the game goes, change the momentum.
With the setup game. I called it the setup game.
You know, say me, I teach the setup game. I
don't teach his boxing. I teach the setup game. I
want you to go out there and make him do
something that you want him to do, then punish him
for doing it.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
That's to set up game.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Let's talk about the state of boxing right now. I'm
a boxing boxing fan. I remember watching formerly come back
in the eighties, and it was big in the sixties, seventies, eighties,
even nineties, but then it's kind of faltered. I think
it's because of UFC. You used to have, you know,
these flamboyant fighters like Hector Macho Camacho, and there was
(13:20):
a lot to the sport and every seemed like every
fight had something to offer. But it seems like that's
kind of dropped off, Well the fight. Will boxing come
back to where it used to be, because I sure
as hell wish it would.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Well, I'm gonna tell you that this boxing might come back.
There's a group in the UK called Striker. Yeah, they're
really trying to bring boxing back on that level. Good
and if they get if they're successful and they listen
to what I tell them, yeah we will bring it back.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
But here's what happened.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
People start avoiding fights and making big money by avoiding
fights till they got to the big fight, right Yeah,
and that ruined everybody because not everybody wants to do that.
And then and then boxing is not a team sport.
These guys go to clicking up and oh he's my friend.
I don't want to fight my friend, and get the
hell out of here, right see. But the United States
(14:10):
and with the world, the United States is also part
to blame for that because things like you gotta have
like a woman talent, you know what I'm saying. Mean, Yeah,
you tell me you don't want to see this happening.
You don't want to see that happening, But you want
my seventeen eighteen year old son to sign up for
the draft. And there's a war. If there's a war,
he gotta go. But he ain't never seen nothing fight
to the death before. He never seen nothing that before.
(14:32):
You know what I'm saying me. But if a draft come,
he got to go to that war.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
We're not preparing them right properly for what we set
them up to go do.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Because it's a possibility that your son may get drafted
to go put his life on the line.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And that's every sport. That's every sport. Lebron's friends with
his worst enemies. It's crazy. They exchange jerseys at the
end of games. And back in the day he was like,
don't even talk to me.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
That's exactly right. But when when it was that, don't
even talk to me. That's what boxing is. See basketball
as a team sport, and basketball has messed up to you,
right because you swapping jersey with your enemy today. Tomorrow
your enemy might be your teammates. We're not teaching lords
no more.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
That's exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
We're not pushing Lord you no more.
Speaker 8 (15:10):
So people say, and I always say this too, even
though you know it's a lot of religions. The integrity
of religious people, especially the Christians, has declined because we
go for anything Now, Magic Johnson was not playing with
Larry Bird. Larry Bird was not playing with you.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
This Irving.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Irving was not playing with Dominique Wilkins. They just they
had their own block. They're gonna make their own teams strong.
That's what life was about back then. That's what boxing
was about back then. But after I left boxing changed
is how much money can we make?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Speaking of gold for anything and how much money can
we make? Do you ever have any dealings with Don King?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Two times?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
And if Shaul did he get you?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
He didn't get me.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
But I had two dealings with him, but I was
smart enough to make sure I had exits when I
was doing the deal.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Good for you?
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Wow, So you gotta sign what's done with an automatic
exit plan?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
No, or he gonna get you. He's better at getting
you than you are not letting him get you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Is he still alive?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Yeah, he's still live. Ye, still doing what he does? No,
still doing what he does. He's still done. Kings still
don King be done. Key to the day he died,
And God gave me a cunstant reminder. My twins were
born the exact same day as him.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Sixty years later.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh no, that's great.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
They give me a custom reminder.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Who's greatest fighter of all time? Are you? No?
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Mumm?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And okay anyway, class.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
The greatest of all time?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Ok let me tell you the story of a little
boy that got his bike stolen from him.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Stop it, you'll be quiet. Be quiet. That's absolutely okay.
So how do we watch boxing this weekend?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
How we get First of all, you gotta go with

the place to go, baby. But we're talking tomorrow night here.

Man.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Please go on Saturday night watch this boxing match. Good
luck to your son were.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I want to ask you, Kelvin, what what's that mean?
Your son's in the main event. Are you jittery already
or are you used to it from the nerves? But
this is quite different.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Man.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
You know you're gonna always have nerves, you know what
I mean. But it's the way that you you know,
transfer that energy. It's more of a positive nerve than
a negative nothing. And that positive is that you know,
when you're nervous, it's just make you be a little
bit more sharper, make better decisions versus going out there
being reckless. But you know, we ready for it, you know,
Big fight night at the Gillespie seven o'clock Saturday night tonight,
(19:19):
actually tonight at Derby City Gaming here downtown is the
official way in.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
Five o'clock, five, five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I've been to a couple of ways. They're really cool.
Five o'clock tonight.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Let me say one was absolutely excuse my language. Excuse
my language. Yeah, but the father has to be really nervous,
and it's hard. People don't understand this. I understand because
I'm a trainer. So he has to be really, really
nervous because if that kid loses his wife is gonna
kick his aig.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Stop right there time. That was my next question for you,
Roy Jones Junior, that's my next question for you. You start fighting,
you getting these big fun was your mother? How does
she take that? I mean, because this was this the
mother's love is like none of you can't comprehend it.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
That's why I'm trying to tell you what I tell you.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Better find out if I find her out home.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
My mama.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
When I thought she was worse than I was, what
she watched watch she was, she worse than I am.
She walking around with the worst attitude than I got
cause I'm fighting. Yeah, she met with the world because
I'm fighting.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, I guarantee it say.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Something wrong about her son. And if you're going to
feel not where soon came?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's just that's the truth. Because if you coach any sport,
you know that comes from the mom, like the dad.
If the mom's crazy, you go, okay, I can take
his kid. Is all right? That's that's the truth. Uh,

Action packed first hour, we had a South End reunion
Dean Wells, remember Deanie remembering Dean Wells, a NFL football
player from the South End. It was much more than that.

him that he played in the NFL for nine years

(22:56):
good players. And then all of a sudden, I was
going to talked to Jody from Metro and I turned
around and Roy Jones Junior is standing in this Yeah

paper write a number down, and I walked down the
studio and it looks like Roy Jones Jr. Uh, it's
Roy Jones Jr.

And I'm not kidding you. I was seventeen eighteen years
old watching that fight he had where he got robbed
in Korea, and I'll never forget it. It's really the
only Olympic boxing match you've ever remember. It was watershed
moment because he whooped this kid, this Korean guy. It's
Roy Jones Junior, one of the greatest boxers of all time.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Roy Jones Junior said that he they after they gave
his opponent the standing eight. He heard the commentator say,
if he doesn't win this, I forgot what he said.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So, you know, people that don't know, Roy Jones Junior
whooped this guy in the metal round and they gave
it to the Korean in Korea, and after the entire
Olympics were over, royd Juwes Junior was presented with the
fighter of the entire tournament because they knew that something
