LL Cool J’s Iconic Hit Soundtracks Inspiring Super Bowl Ad: ‘Cancer, We’re Gonna Knock You Out’


LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out" soundtracks an emotional Super Bowl ad from Pfizer about fighting cancer. Watch it here.

Posted to YouTube Friday (Feb. 7), the minute-long commercial opens with a young cancer patient lying in a hospital bed and watching a boxing match introduced by Michael Buffer’s iconic line, “Let’s get ready to rumble!” The little boy then stands up, suddenly dressed in boxing shorts and gloves, and lands a knockout punch on a celebratory bell on the wall, signifying the end of treatment. The celebration continues on the streets, where crowds of people gather to cheer on the young champion on every step to his final destination: home, where his mom tearfully wraps him in a big hug.
