Funny you bring up McEnroe. Maybe the lady boxer should just say they fell down the stairs and didn’t get beat….
From the article:
O'Neal said, "He kicked me down the stairs. … I had never had a plan. I never thought, 'oh, I've gotta leave this guy,' but … I thought my little 5-year-old's gonna' open the door and see his mother on the floor, with this crazy man yelling over her."
