Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:44,885 --> 00:01:46,876
All right, all right, now.
2
00:01:47,053 --> 00:01:48,645
Leon's got everything.
3
00:01:48,722 --> 00:01:51,088
He has all the natural moves
of Sugar Ray Robinson.
4
00:01:51,158 --> 00:01:54,616
He looks like Sugar Ray Leonard.
He's smaller and in better shape...
5
00:01:54,694 --> 00:01:57,720
than Muhammad Ali and he's won the
other weight divisions...
6
00:01:57,798 --> 00:01:59,265
and if he wins this one...
7
00:01:59,332 --> 00:02:01,926
I know he will,
he'll be the only fighter I know...
8
00:02:02,002 --> 00:02:04,766
to win two major Golden Glove
division titles in one week.
9
00:02:04,838 --> 00:02:06,772
The guy ought to be professional.
10
00:02:30,997 --> 00:02:32,055
That kid is lightning.
11
00:02:32,132 --> 00:02:34,498
I've never seen an amateur
with moves like that.
12
00:02:34,568 --> 00:02:35,830
-And power.
-And power.
13
00:02:35,902 --> 00:02:37,631
The guy knocked him out.
He killed him.
14
00:02:37,704 --> 00:02:40,935
Yeah, okay. Come and see me
in my office tomorrow morning.
15
00:02:42,142 --> 00:02:45,509
Thank you.
You won't regret this, I promise you.
16
00:03:06,433 --> 00:03:08,094
Okay, don't boo...
17
00:03:10,237 --> 00:03:13,604
'cause you won't boo whenyou find out why I stopped the music.
18
00:03:13,673 --> 00:03:17,700
I can't believe she's actually here,but she's actually here.
19
00:03:17,777 --> 00:03:21,076
Star of TV, radio, my heart...
20
00:03:21,448 --> 00:03:25,714
and the topmost beautiful womanin sports in the whole country.
21
00:03:26,286 --> 00:03:30,120
Please welcome....I get chills when I mention her name.
22
00:03:30,457 --> 00:03:32,186
Miss Julie Winters.
23
00:03:39,332 --> 00:03:40,856
Thank you very much.
24
00:03:40,934 --> 00:03:43,596
It is really an honorfor me to be here tonight...
25
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:47,629
for the annual presentationof Chicago's Golden Gloves Awards.
26
00:03:50,343 --> 00:03:53,870
And I guess we better startby getting down to business.
27
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:56,039
The first award goes to...
28
00:03:58,285 --> 00:04:00,310
Mr. Andy Price! All right!
29
00:04:14,034 --> 00:04:15,501
Noel Rodgers.
30
00:04:22,842 --> 00:04:25,936
I have got on these tight-ass pants...
31
00:04:26,546 --> 00:04:28,741
and they're about to explode.
32
00:04:29,049 --> 00:04:32,177
No, not in here, someone might come.
33
00:04:32,419 --> 00:04:36,719
The only one about to come is me.
It doesn't matter where.
34
00:04:37,824 --> 00:04:41,055
And now for the final awardof the evening...
35
00:04:41,161 --> 00:04:43,061
the young man who won everything...
36
00:04:43,129 --> 00:04:46,360
and they saythat he's a naturally gifted athlete.
37
00:04:48,902 --> 00:04:51,598
Ladies and gentlemen,Mr. Leon Johnson.
38
00:05:06,786 --> 00:05:08,151
Is he here?
39
00:05:08,655 --> 00:05:10,452
I better go find him.
40
00:05:11,858 --> 00:05:13,450
Where did he go?
41
00:05:22,902 --> 00:05:26,269
This room's occupied.
Be out in five minutes.
42
00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:28,737
Leon, it's your friend, Charles.
43
00:05:29,776 --> 00:05:30,868
Shit.
44
00:05:31,177 --> 00:05:33,611
I've got somebody for you to meet.
45
00:05:35,515 --> 00:05:38,211
I don't want to meet anybody
right now.
46
00:05:38,585 --> 00:05:40,314
But I think you do.
47
00:05:40,453 --> 00:05:44,184
Julie Winters is out there
to personally present your award.
48
00:05:44,891 --> 00:05:48,793
She's been waiting,
and now she's getting ready to leave.
49
00:05:49,062 --> 00:05:51,553
Julie Winters? You're bullshitting.
50
00:05:54,234 --> 00:05:57,203
Wait here, baby.
I'll be back in five minutes.
51
00:06:12,786 --> 00:06:16,552
Here he is, ladies and gentlemen,Mr. Leon Johnson.
52
00:06:24,998 --> 00:06:29,492
Mr. Johnson, you wonstate championships in two divisions.
53
00:06:29,569 --> 00:06:31,264
How did you manage to do that?
54
00:06:31,337 --> 00:06:34,170
I diet a lot one dayand then hump up....
55
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,538
I mean, pump up a lot the next.
56
00:06:36,876 --> 00:06:38,810
Quite an achievement,but what I meant was...
57
00:06:38,878 --> 00:06:41,472
what made you go aftertwo different divisions?
58
00:06:41,548 --> 00:06:45,177
Well, to tell you the truth,there was nothing else to do.
59
00:06:45,585 --> 00:06:48,110
But you do planon going professional, don't you?
60
00:06:48,188 --> 00:06:50,520
No, I'm a lover, not a fighter.
61
00:06:52,726 --> 00:06:54,523
Could have fooled me.
62
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:59,295
Anyway, Mr. Johnson...
63
00:06:59,466 --> 00:07:04,165
it's my pleasure to present to youthese two trophies. Leon Johnson.
64
00:07:08,241 --> 00:07:09,868
I don't have a speech or anything...
65
00:07:09,943 --> 00:07:14,437
but I think I at least deserve a pictureof me kissing Miss Julie Winters.
66
00:07:26,126 --> 00:07:30,460
You know, that certainly wasn't
much of a kiss you gave me.
67
00:07:31,197 --> 00:07:34,758
Well, if one goes about kissing
everybody on the mouth...
68
00:07:35,001 --> 00:07:37,469
one can end up
with all types of germs...
69
00:07:37,537 --> 00:07:41,940
especially when you never know where
the other person's mouth has been.
70
00:07:49,516 --> 00:07:53,850
-Well, shall we dance?
-No, thank you. I don't slow dance.
71
00:07:55,421 --> 00:07:57,616
I mean, all my friends
and everybody's watching.
72
00:07:57,690 --> 00:08:02,252
Let me show off at least once.
Just one dance.
73
00:08:06,299 --> 00:08:08,927
Okay, but just one dance.
74
00:08:09,002 --> 00:08:12,062
I'll go get them to play something
really good.
75
00:08:12,472 --> 00:08:14,804
You can dance, can't you?
76
00:08:56,115 --> 00:08:58,481
-Sorry.
-Thank you.
77
00:08:58,985 --> 00:09:01,647
No, that's okay.
Please, you don't have to get out.
78
00:09:01,721 --> 00:09:05,623
Now, I wouldn't think of not
walking you straight to your door.
79
00:09:07,627 --> 00:09:11,859
Charles, would you just go back?
Or you'll blow everything. Trust me.
80
00:09:19,305 --> 00:09:21,205
-Nice house.
-Thank you.
81
00:09:21,407 --> 00:09:24,137
Say, could I get
an autographed picture?
82
00:09:25,812 --> 00:09:26,904
Sure.
83
00:09:28,381 --> 00:09:31,646
It's not for me,
it's for my little sister, Kelly.
84
00:09:32,585 --> 00:09:34,917
She's really an admirer of yours.
85
00:09:35,121 --> 00:09:39,114
What would I need an autograph for?
I mean, I got the real thing.
86
00:09:39,325 --> 00:09:40,656
Thank you.
87
00:09:42,795 --> 00:09:46,060
I want to wish you good luck
in everything that you're trying to do.
88
00:09:46,132 --> 00:09:48,999
Now, Miss Julie Winters,
you are much too pretty for me...
89
00:09:49,068 --> 00:09:51,036
to just shake your hand.
90
00:09:51,437 --> 00:09:52,961
Plus, my friend's there watching.
91
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:56,406
Couldn't I have a little goodnight kiss
on the lips?
92
00:09:56,676 --> 00:09:58,906
Mr. Johnson,
I am afraid you are gonna have to...
93
00:09:58,978 --> 00:10:01,913
score points with your friend
somewhere else.
94
00:10:02,248 --> 00:10:06,480
Could I have a kiss on the cheek?
Everybody does that. That's social.
95
00:10:06,552 --> 00:10:09,214
Just one kiss on the cheek, please.
96
00:10:09,856 --> 00:10:11,824
Okay, just one kiss on the cheek.
97
00:10:11,891 --> 00:10:13,256
Slipped.
98
00:10:15,361 --> 00:10:18,194
Now, that's what I call
a goodnight kiss.
99
00:10:18,564 --> 00:10:22,000
You didn't put a lot into it,
but you've got potential.
100
00:10:25,305 --> 00:10:26,772
I'm in love.
101
00:10:34,948 --> 00:10:36,279
Hey, Leon!
102
00:10:37,850 --> 00:10:39,841
What's happening, man?
103
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:42,786
Somebody called the gym,
and your mother's looking for you.
104
00:10:42,855 --> 00:10:44,948
She's back at the hospital.
105
00:10:55,768 --> 00:10:58,760
Could you tell me which room
Kelly Johnson's in, please?
106
00:11:05,411 --> 00:11:07,208
What's going on here?
107
00:11:09,916 --> 00:11:12,851
While you were jumping around
in the ring...
108
00:11:13,086 --> 00:11:16,351
acting like a damned fool,
your sister....
109
00:11:17,857 --> 00:11:20,018
Mrs. Johnson, it's all right.
110
00:11:20,093 --> 00:11:23,187
I thought you said
it was just gonna be routine.
111
00:11:24,564 --> 00:11:26,555
Your sister had a crisis.
112
00:11:27,266 --> 00:11:29,461
As you know,
normal blood cells are round.
113
00:11:29,535 --> 00:11:32,231
Hers are shaped like a sickle
or a question mark.
114
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:35,564
They get attached
and tend to clog the blood vessels.
115
00:11:35,641 --> 00:11:39,202
This deprives the body of oxygen
and causes intense pain.
116
00:11:40,146 --> 00:11:44,276
With sickle cells, she's gonna have to
go through this the rest of her life.
117
00:11:50,590 --> 00:11:52,751
-I want to see Kelly.
-Why?
118
00:11:53,359 --> 00:11:56,988
You weren't here when
she needed you. Now she's resting.
119
00:11:59,265 --> 00:12:02,359
Dr. Bochman, I am not blaming you
personally for this...
120
00:12:02,435 --> 00:12:05,836
but we both know this ain't
the best damn hospital in the world.
121
00:12:05,905 --> 00:12:08,499
I can assure you Kelly's getting
the best treatment--
122
00:12:08,574 --> 00:12:11,441
Come on, Bochman. Poor people die,
rich people get saved...
123
00:12:11,511 --> 00:12:14,071
and they both have
the same damn thing.
124
00:12:14,147 --> 00:12:17,139
-I am telling you--
-You have no right to talk like this.
125
00:12:17,216 --> 00:12:18,808
Every time I come in here...
126
00:12:18,885 --> 00:12:22,480
I see people bleeding to death
or waiting to fill out a goddamn form...
127
00:12:22,555 --> 00:12:25,683
for some outrageous bill
they couldn't afford in the first place.
128
00:12:25,758 --> 00:12:27,123
-It's all big business.
-Stop it.
129
00:12:27,193 --> 00:12:30,890
Cancer, leukemia,
sickle cell, people dying.
130
00:12:30,963 --> 00:12:33,363
They don't give a damn about you.
131
00:12:33,499 --> 00:12:36,662
-That won't happen to my little sister.
-That's enough.
132
00:12:36,736 --> 00:12:40,172
I want her to have the best
hematologist, specialist, nurses...
133
00:12:40,239 --> 00:12:43,504
the best care, the best everything.
Do you hear me?
134
00:12:43,776 --> 00:12:45,641
I know how you feel...
135
00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:48,980
but hematology specialists and nurses
cost a lot of money.
136
00:12:49,048 --> 00:12:51,482
Yeah, I know. I'll get your money.
137
00:12:52,051 --> 00:12:55,646
I'll get you hundreds, thousands.
I'll even get you millions.
138
00:12:56,322 --> 00:12:57,516
Just get her well.
139
00:12:57,590 --> 00:13:02,220
Don't pay no attention to him.
You know how young folks get excited.
140
00:13:02,295 --> 00:13:05,287
I've never said anything in my life
I didn't mean.
141
00:13:05,364 --> 00:13:06,695
Excuse me.
142
00:13:08,968 --> 00:13:13,132
You won't have your own pot to pee in
until you start your practice.
143
00:13:13,439 --> 00:13:15,304
I'm gonna fight, Mama.
144
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:22,370
You are keeping your black behind
in college and becoming a doctor.
145
00:13:28,821 --> 00:13:32,655
This family is gonna have somebody
they can be proud of.
146
00:13:33,059 --> 00:13:35,254
You are going to be a doctor.
147
00:13:51,911 --> 00:13:53,572
I love you, Kelly.
148
00:14:13,366 --> 00:14:14,765
How's Kelly?
149
00:14:16,169 --> 00:14:17,898
She's gotten worse.
150
00:14:19,672 --> 00:14:20,764
Damn.
151
00:14:23,876 --> 00:14:26,003
We're gonna go to work, man.
152
00:14:27,446 --> 00:14:30,142
I'll give you a percentage of me.
153
00:14:31,284 --> 00:14:33,718
Where I go, you go.
154
00:14:35,021 --> 00:14:37,888
What I make, you make.
155
00:14:40,293 --> 00:14:42,386
You'll be a champion.
156
00:14:45,198 --> 00:14:48,827
I'm only interested
in champion money.
157
00:14:50,203 --> 00:14:52,637
I'll call Gillardi in the morning.
158
00:14:55,808 --> 00:14:57,435
No, not Gillardi.
159
00:14:58,344 --> 00:15:01,575
If we learn, we learn from the best.
160
00:15:20,266 --> 00:15:21,597
Mr. Ali, sir...
161
00:15:21,667 --> 00:15:24,067
I know you're the greatest
in the whole wide world...
162
00:15:24,136 --> 00:15:25,763
but with your help, I can be the next.
163
00:15:25,838 --> 00:15:28,807
I've studied all your tapes.
I've got all the natural ability...
164
00:15:28,874 --> 00:15:31,809
all the natural moves.
All I need is your help.
165
00:15:31,877 --> 00:15:33,037
Would you please train me?
166
00:15:33,112 --> 00:15:36,104
Look, my friend, people come to me
all the time for help:
167
00:15:36,182 --> 00:15:39,743
business deals, buy this,
invest in this and that...
168
00:15:39,819 --> 00:15:41,650
train this man, train that man.
169
00:15:41,721 --> 00:15:44,656
Look, everyone knows I'm the greatest.
You know it, right?
170
00:15:44,724 --> 00:15:46,521
But, look, I'm not obligated...
171
00:15:46,592 --> 00:15:49,857
and I don't have time
to make you the greatest, so be cool.
172
00:15:52,298 --> 00:15:54,528
I can beat anybody you've got.
173
00:15:55,534 --> 00:15:57,559
-You can beat anybody I've got?
-Yeah.
174
00:15:57,637 --> 00:16:01,437
Look at you, you look like a mosquito.
175
00:16:01,507 --> 00:16:04,169
Beat? Man, you've gotta be crazy.
He's a heavyweight.
176
00:16:04,243 --> 00:16:07,940
That just means there'll be
a louder thud when they hit the floor.
177
00:16:08,014 --> 00:16:10,574
Look, you're just like myself.
I gotta give it to you.
178
00:16:10,650 --> 00:16:13,915
You believe in yourself, right? Franky.
179
00:16:13,986 --> 00:16:16,887
Get the man ready.
Let's see what he's got.
180
00:16:30,603 --> 00:16:31,900
So you got speed.
181
00:16:31,971 --> 00:16:36,032
And you're supposed to be faster
than a heavyweight, but can you hit?
182
00:16:42,148 --> 00:16:43,672
He's dangerous.
183
00:16:44,116 --> 00:16:45,208
Next.
184
00:16:46,352 --> 00:16:50,015
You forget it, I'm not gonna have you
knocking out all my men.
185
00:16:50,089 --> 00:16:52,114
He's bad, and pretty, too.
186
00:16:52,224 --> 00:16:56,217
From here on out, you've got it made.
Franky will train you.
187
00:16:56,295 --> 00:16:59,059
You won't regret it.
I'll give you any percent you want.
188
00:16:59,131 --> 00:17:02,294
I don't need no money,
all I need is some fresh young blood...
189
00:17:02,368 --> 00:17:05,269
to liven this place up.
You'll just be great.
190
00:17:05,338 --> 00:17:09,069
You're gonna work harder
than you ever worked in your life.
191
00:17:09,809 --> 00:17:13,404
You're gonna get sore in muscles
you never even thought you had.
192
00:17:14,380 --> 00:17:18,714
Sometimes you'll curse me,
and some days you'll hate me...
193
00:17:19,285 --> 00:17:21,685
but in the end, you'll love me...
194
00:17:21,987 --> 00:17:23,955
because I'm gonna make you a champ.
195
00:19:00,820 --> 00:19:04,688
-You're making it look easy.
-Hell, it is easy. He ain't nothing.
196
00:19:04,757 --> 00:19:07,248
Look at this arena.
It's only one-third full.
197
00:19:07,326 --> 00:19:10,193
They got 10 fights booked,
and I'm just one of 20 fighters.
198
00:19:10,262 --> 00:19:11,786
Nobody came just to see me.
199
00:19:11,864 --> 00:19:14,924
They will, once you start
punching your way to the top.
200
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,128
Hell, at this rate, a title shot
might take three or four years.
201
00:19:18,204 --> 00:19:22,038
I gotta get money for Kelly now.
I gotta get people to come see me.
202
00:19:22,107 --> 00:19:23,506
I gotta have a gimmick.
203
00:19:23,576 --> 00:19:27,512
Win all your fights.
Start by knocking this clown out.
204
00:19:28,047 --> 00:19:30,845
That's the only gimmick
you'll ever need.
205
00:19:43,896 --> 00:19:46,160
Hi, I'm Julie Winters, Sports Unlimited.
206
00:19:46,232 --> 00:19:50,965
I was sent to do a story on a fighter
who calls himself "the Lover."
207
00:19:53,038 --> 00:19:54,369
Thank you.
208
00:20:02,414 --> 00:20:05,747
They sent the great Julie Winters
all the way down here...
209
00:20:05,818 --> 00:20:08,343
to do an interview on little old me?
210
00:20:09,188 --> 00:20:11,315
I must be getting important.
211
00:20:11,824 --> 00:20:14,122
No. There must be some mistake.
212
00:20:14,426 --> 00:20:17,156
No. There's no mistake.
213
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:21,999
I mean, this is my new image.
My gimmick for the public.
214
00:20:22,635 --> 00:20:26,332
The fighter that's a lover.
215
00:20:29,975 --> 00:20:31,374
Lord have mercy.
216
00:20:31,443 --> 00:20:35,072
Now, I ask you, how can you be
three times bigger or faster...
217
00:20:35,147 --> 00:20:37,206
and make twice as much money?
218
00:20:37,283 --> 00:20:40,514
I thought you were gonna go
back to school and become a doctor.
219
00:20:40,586 --> 00:20:42,076
Things change.
220
00:20:42,354 --> 00:20:45,448
The public doesn't want somebody
that's quiet and intelligent...
221
00:20:45,524 --> 00:20:48,220
the way I used to be. What they want--
222
00:20:48,294 --> 00:20:51,195
They don't want a clown, either,
Mr. Johnson.
223
00:20:51,497 --> 00:20:53,397
This is professional sport.
224
00:20:53,465 --> 00:20:55,763
Is this thing running?
I'll tell you what they want.
225
00:20:55,834 --> 00:20:56,960
I've done research.
226
00:20:57,036 --> 00:20:59,664
See, what they want is somebody
that's bigger than life.
227
00:20:59,738 --> 00:21:02,104
Somebody that's colorful,
controversial.
228
00:21:02,174 --> 00:21:05,871
I mean, look at Marlon Brando,
look at Hollywood Henderson.
229
00:21:05,945 --> 00:21:07,378
Look at Muhammad Ali.
230
00:21:07,446 --> 00:21:12,008
It's bigger than life, show business.
It's controversy. It's colorful.
231
00:21:12,418 --> 00:21:14,477
It's Leon the Lover.
232
00:21:15,521 --> 00:21:19,821
That's all fine, Mr. Johnson,
but I really came down here...
233
00:21:19,892 --> 00:21:22,793
to see if this lover can fight.
234
00:21:23,629 --> 00:21:27,531
Pretty lady,
that's the least of your worries.
235
00:21:27,766 --> 00:21:31,133
As a matter of fact,
I'll dedicate tonight's...
236
00:21:31,904 --> 00:21:34,031
knockout to you.
237
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,374
-Knockout?
-Yeah.
238
00:21:36,575 --> 00:21:39,601
I got my training from Muhammad Ali.
239
00:21:39,712 --> 00:21:43,705
Sounds like the only thing
you inherited from Ali is a big mouth.
240
00:21:48,220 --> 00:21:50,085
I love all the ladies.
241
00:21:51,457 --> 00:21:53,982
I'm not just a fighter. Here, honey.
242
00:21:55,794 --> 00:21:59,059
I'm here to entertain you.
I love all the ladies.
243
00:21:59,131 --> 00:22:02,828
I'm Leon the Lover.
You've never heard of me, but you will.
244
00:22:04,670 --> 00:22:07,833
You've never heard of me, but you will.
Can I kiss your hand?
245
00:22:08,073 --> 00:22:10,303
I didn't wanna just grab your wife.
246
00:22:10,376 --> 00:22:13,106
Here you are, pretty lady.
Thank you for coming to see me.
247
00:22:13,178 --> 00:22:16,409
Here's a rose for a rose
from Leon the Lover.
248
00:22:16,482 --> 00:22:17,608
I'm so happy to be here.
249
00:22:17,683 --> 00:22:20,652
You want a kiss, honey? Come to me.
250
00:22:41,306 --> 00:22:43,001
Stop that vaudeville, Leon.
251
00:22:43,075 --> 00:22:44,736
Come on, punch him.
252
00:23:13,972 --> 00:23:15,132
Do it.
253
00:23:19,011 --> 00:23:20,672
You like that?
254
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,970
Come on, Leon.
255
00:23:23,282 --> 00:23:26,115
Stop socializing.
You're fighting a fight.
256
00:23:28,353 --> 00:23:31,982
Just one good punch,
and that's the end of Leon the Lover.
257
00:23:32,391 --> 00:23:34,484
Why you rooting against Leon?
258
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,826
His head is a little bit too big
for any one fighter to carry around.
259
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:43,029
He only does it because of me.
260
00:23:44,303 --> 00:23:45,861
What do you mean?
261
00:23:45,938 --> 00:23:49,567
He's my brother,
and he's boxing to make me better.
262
00:23:52,010 --> 00:23:55,002
-That's your brother?
-He sure is.
263
00:23:55,547 --> 00:23:58,846
He's always buying me things.
264
00:23:59,251 --> 00:24:02,311
He buys me ice cream
even when I don't want it.
265
00:24:02,788 --> 00:24:05,484
He even brought me
an autographed picture of you.
266
00:24:05,557 --> 00:24:07,582
-Yeah, you remember.
-Oh, yeah.
267
00:24:07,659 --> 00:24:10,492
You signed it for me. I'm Kelly.
268
00:24:12,197 --> 00:24:14,688
And I didn't even want it either...
269
00:24:15,367 --> 00:24:17,892
but I ain't never telling him that.
270
00:24:17,970 --> 00:24:20,871
You should see
all the junk he buys me...
271
00:24:20,939 --> 00:24:22,804
but I really love him.
272
00:24:28,547 --> 00:24:31,710
Julie Winters.
You look good. I love you.
273
00:24:37,256 --> 00:24:39,554
It can't end like this. Franky!
274
00:24:42,294 --> 00:24:45,855
I knew this lover bullshit was no good.
275
00:24:45,931 --> 00:24:47,455
...eight, nine.
276
00:25:07,786 --> 00:25:08,878
Who do you want next?
277
00:25:08,954 --> 00:25:11,479
I want anybody. I want them all.
Anybody who'll fight me.
278
00:25:11,557 --> 00:25:14,287
When'll you be ready for the champ,
the St. Louis Assassin?
279
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,792
The St. Louis Assassin, the champ?
280
00:25:15,861 --> 00:25:18,455
You can write this:
When I fight the St. Louis Assassin...
281
00:25:18,530 --> 00:25:20,498
my name will be bigger than his.
282
00:25:20,566 --> 00:25:22,864
-You think you're that good?
-What about the Iceman?
283
00:25:22,935 --> 00:25:24,800
The Iceman.
As soon as he quits ducking me.
284
00:25:24,870 --> 00:25:26,667
Yeah, I'm that good. I must be.
285
00:25:26,738 --> 00:25:28,933
Julie Winters drove all the way
just to see me.
286
00:25:29,007 --> 00:25:32,738
Why don't you get a picture of me
giving her a victory kiss?
287
00:25:41,186 --> 00:25:44,519
Maybe we ought to check him
to see if he has any potential.
288
00:25:44,590 --> 00:25:46,820
Right now, all he's got is a big mouth.
289
00:25:46,892 --> 00:25:50,794
We'll meet him if he proves himself.
If not him, somebody else.
290
00:25:51,463 --> 00:25:53,556
Let it simmer.
291
00:25:55,167 --> 00:25:58,364
I am really glad
you happened to cover this fight.
292
00:26:01,406 --> 00:26:05,399
You've got the skill
to make a playboy's love for real.
293
00:26:06,378 --> 00:26:08,039
You're no playboy.
294
00:26:08,313 --> 00:26:10,508
I would be if I had the time.
295
00:26:12,484 --> 00:26:16,580
You know, I really admire
what you're doing for little Kelly.
296
00:26:17,489 --> 00:26:22,085
Anybody that spends an entire evening
in the malt shop with his kid sister...
297
00:26:22,361 --> 00:26:23,988
can't be all bad.
298
00:26:26,064 --> 00:26:27,827
You were there, too.
299
00:26:29,001 --> 00:26:30,468
I enjoyed it.
300
00:26:32,304 --> 00:26:33,669
You know...
301
00:26:35,173 --> 00:26:37,073
when I first met you...
302
00:26:37,676 --> 00:26:39,439
I was not impressed.
303
00:26:40,879 --> 00:26:43,609
But now that I've gotten to know you...
304
00:26:45,083 --> 00:26:46,550
comme ci comme ça.
305
00:26:46,618 --> 00:26:50,418
When we met, there were light years
between you and me.
306
00:26:50,722 --> 00:26:54,556
But now I'm getting some note,
some play, making some money.
307
00:26:54,826 --> 00:26:58,455
Pretty soon, I could be worthy
of somebody like you.
308
00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:04,201
I don't judge a man
on reputation or money.
309
00:27:06,138 --> 00:27:07,628
Just be a man.
310
00:27:17,449 --> 00:27:19,417
Let's not rush anything.
311
00:28:13,538 --> 00:28:15,665
You're supposed to be
relaxing the muscles...
312
00:28:15,741 --> 00:28:17,641
not tearing them apart.
313
00:28:21,246 --> 00:28:24,079
Do you know you hit harder
than the boxers?
314
00:28:25,884 --> 00:28:30,548
Nice soothing massage,
knead the muscles.
315
00:28:36,928 --> 00:28:38,327
Much better.
316
00:28:45,470 --> 00:28:48,405
Hi, how are you doing?
Let me finish this up.
317
00:28:48,807 --> 00:28:51,173
I think we'll have to
replace Charles altogether.
318
00:28:51,243 --> 00:28:53,734
From now on, you give the massages.
319
00:28:54,312 --> 00:28:56,337
Charles, you're dismissed.
320
00:29:08,994 --> 00:29:11,189
Your horse isn't fast enough.
321
00:30:23,802 --> 00:30:27,863
Leon the Lover's done it again.
322
00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:31,338
Leon the Lover!
323
00:30:33,945 --> 00:30:36,175
We've gotta give him
a crack at the title.
324
00:30:36,248 --> 00:30:38,580
He gets nothing till we own him.
325
00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:41,714
He's the one packing them in.
Maybe he don't need us.
326
00:30:41,786 --> 00:30:45,153
He needs us. Everybody needs us.
We control the belt.
327
00:30:46,158 --> 00:30:49,025
Talk to him.
Find out what his weakness is.
328
00:30:49,594 --> 00:30:51,425
Give them anything they want.
329
00:30:54,266 --> 00:30:55,733
Leon the Lover.
330
00:30:55,834 --> 00:30:57,893
-What's happening?
-My man's a good man.
331
00:30:57,969 --> 00:30:59,061
Good to see you.
332
00:31:00,205 --> 00:31:02,901
-How're you doing, my man?
-Good to see you.
333
00:31:02,974 --> 00:31:05,101
Leon, I want you to meet somebody.
334
00:31:05,243 --> 00:31:08,235
Eddie Mustafa, light heavyweight
champ. Leon the Lover.
335
00:31:08,313 --> 00:31:11,180
How are you doing?
My buddy, Charles.
336
00:31:11,249 --> 00:31:13,046
-How you doing?
-Good.
337
00:31:13,118 --> 00:31:15,018
I'm a big fan of yours.
338
00:31:15,420 --> 00:31:18,446
There are some ladies over there,
see if you can find them.
339
00:31:18,523 --> 00:31:22,516
I like your style. I am glad
we're not in the same weight class.
340
00:31:26,331 --> 00:31:28,322
It's so good to see you.
341
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,868
-You're wonderful. Let me touch you.
-Sure.
342
00:31:32,370 --> 00:31:33,837
How you doing?
343
00:31:34,706 --> 00:31:37,903
-Are you here with someone?
-Well, I just....
344
00:31:38,810 --> 00:31:40,437
Hi. How are you?
345
00:31:42,113 --> 00:31:44,445
Here, my man, I got some good blow.
346
00:31:48,086 --> 00:31:50,316
Are you really Leon the Lover?
347
00:31:52,090 --> 00:31:53,819
Well, I try to be.
348
00:31:53,892 --> 00:31:55,917
Don't try, honey. Show me.
349
00:31:59,898 --> 00:32:01,195
Go find me Pussy.
350
00:32:01,266 --> 00:32:05,225
I need her here tonight, and fast.
I don't care how much it costs.
351
00:32:14,145 --> 00:32:16,670
Hi. Hope I'm not in the wrong room.
352
00:32:16,948 --> 00:32:18,973
As a matter of fact, no...
353
00:32:19,618 --> 00:32:22,917
but I was beginning to wonder
what took you so long.
354
00:32:23,221 --> 00:32:24,882
I am Pussy Willow.
355
00:32:26,358 --> 00:32:27,882
-I'm--
-I know.
356
00:32:30,262 --> 00:32:32,958
But whether you're the lover or not...
357
00:32:33,798 --> 00:32:35,766
that remains to be seen.
358
00:32:37,535 --> 00:32:40,368
Out here
we got regular stuff for regular folks...
359
00:32:42,674 --> 00:32:45,472
but we have special stuff
for special people.
360
00:32:45,944 --> 00:32:48,572
Have you ever heard
of freebase, man?
361
00:32:50,081 --> 00:32:51,548
No, I haven't.
362
00:32:51,983 --> 00:32:55,214
Freebase, my man.
Right now you at bat.
363
00:32:59,357 --> 00:33:03,157
I hope I don't disappoint your view.
364
00:33:05,497 --> 00:33:06,987
Oh, I hope not...
365
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:10,591
because it gets so depressed
when it's disappointed.
366
00:33:16,841 --> 00:33:20,333
Leon said to me, "I'm gonna
knock him out in the first round."
367
00:33:20,412 --> 00:33:23,904
I said, "You should knock him out
in the second round."
368
00:33:24,482 --> 00:33:28,441
He did.
'Cause he always listens to me.
369
00:33:33,625 --> 00:33:36,059
Hello, ladies. Hold on to your seats.
370
00:33:36,127 --> 00:33:39,028
Here comes the face that launcheda thousand heartthrobs.
371
00:33:39,097 --> 00:33:42,931
One of the most controversial figuresin sports today.; Leon the Lover.
372
00:33:43,001 --> 00:33:45,902
You can hear the reaction, Ed.He now seems to be the life.
373
00:33:45,970 --> 00:33:49,406
Not just a fighter, buta master showman who also boxes.
374
00:33:49,474 --> 00:33:53,069
This overflow crowd didn't cometo see you being champion...
375
00:33:53,144 --> 00:33:56,113
they came to see this man.;Leon the Lover.
376
00:33:56,181 --> 00:33:59,514
That's the female cheering sectionthat follows him wherever he goes.
377
00:33:59,584 --> 00:34:03,884
They call them Leon's Lovelies.It's just about show time.
378
00:34:06,858 --> 00:34:09,292
He's got his workcut out for him tonight.
379
00:34:09,361 --> 00:34:12,421
Giving up three-and-a-half inchesin reach, three inches height...

00:34:36,187 --> 00:34:39,679
Presenting the challenger on my leftfrom Chicago, Illinois...
386
00:34:39,758 --> 00:34:40,782

387
00:34:40,859 --> 00:34:45,262

the man who's not just a fighter...
389
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:50,365
but a lover of life...
390
00:34:50,435 --> 00:34:54,235
who wishes every womancould be his wife.;
391
00:34:54,305 --> 00:34:58,639
Leon the Lover!
392
00:35:10,054 --> 00:35:12,352
And his opponent,the defending champion...
393
00:35:12,424 --> 00:35:16,588
weighing in at 146. 75 pounds...
394
00:35:16,661 --> 00:35:19,391
the man whose handsare considered...
395
00:35:19,464 --> 00:35:22,297
an assault with a deadly weapon...
396
00:35:22,367 --> 00:35:25,996
the welterweight boxing championof the world.;
397
00:35:26,070 --> 00:35:29,733

a true champion,a man whose record speaks for itself.
400
00:35:47,592 --> 00:35:49,025
And for the challenger...
401
00:35:49,093 --> 00:35:52,494
tonight, it's put up or shut upfor one Leon "the Lover" Johnson.
402
00:35:52,564 --> 00:35:55,124
Leon is sliding, gliding,moving, looking pretty.
403
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,964
Not a single blow from the Assassinhas come close to Leon.
404
00:35:58,036 --> 00:36:01,028
Leon is too busy showinghis ability to dance.
405
00:36:03,041 --> 00:36:05,475
There they go. Two hard rights.
406
00:36:14,085 --> 00:36:17,213
He's not the champ! I'm the champ!
He ain't nothing!
407
00:36:17,288 --> 00:36:19,552
He ain't nothing.
He's an impersonator.
408
00:36:19,624 --> 00:36:23,958
I'm gonna hold my hands down
for a minute and he still can't hit me.
409
00:36:24,462 --> 00:36:27,124
You're looking bad!
You're making me make you look bad!
410
00:36:27,198 --> 00:36:30,395
You're disappointing your fans!
You got 45 seconds.
411
00:36:33,004 --> 00:36:36,132
An occasional panty is throwninto the ring...
412
00:36:36,207 --> 00:36:39,643
something we've come to expectwhen the Lover fights.
413
00:36:42,580 --> 00:36:45,208
He's just an amateur, he's an amateur.
414
00:36:47,051 --> 00:36:51,545
This is a disgrace. You might as well
give me the crown right now.
415
00:36:54,425 --> 00:36:58,020
-You're doing fine, son, looking good.
-Is my hair okay?
416
00:36:58,563 --> 00:37:02,932
Leon, please, not tonight.
This is a championship fight.
417
00:37:04,435 --> 00:37:06,300
Leon, I just love you.
418
00:37:10,074 --> 00:37:12,941
A few more of those
and I could just love you, too.
419
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,514
I wanna give you something
close to me. I just took these off.
420
00:37:25,423 --> 00:37:29,291
-Can I have your autograph?
-I can't write with my gloves on.
421
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,851
Honey, you're sweating.
422
00:37:35,466 --> 00:37:39,664
Lady, please!
We're in a championship fight.
423
00:37:39,737 --> 00:37:41,830
I just need one quick kiss.
424
00:37:48,546 --> 00:37:51,811
Lady, please.
It'll get messy in here in a minute.
425
00:38:02,860 --> 00:38:06,091
Leon the Lover is everywhere.He's unmarked, untouched.
426
00:38:06,164 --> 00:38:09,327
Hitting the Assassin at will.This is unbelievable.
427
00:38:18,476 --> 00:38:21,309
...eight, nine, ten.
428
00:38:25,717 --> 00:38:29,346
I told you, I did it. I am the champ.
429
00:38:29,454 --> 00:38:31,718
Leon the Lover reigns forever!
430
00:38:33,358 --> 00:38:36,691
Leon the Lover, the champ forever.
431
00:38:36,861 --> 00:38:38,590
...I've been listening to you.
432
00:38:38,663 --> 00:38:41,131
All this time I had to read
all the garbage you wrote.
433
00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:44,430
Tomorrow's headlines write this,
"We apologize to Leon the Lover...
434
00:38:44,502 --> 00:38:47,801
"because he made the
St. Louis Assassin look amateurish.
435
00:38:47,872 --> 00:38:50,807
"He had four bodyguards.
He had people with machine guns.
436
00:38:50,875 --> 00:38:53,036
"He needed a machine gun
to beat me tonight.
437
00:38:53,111 --> 00:38:55,204
"He needed an A-bomb
to beat me tonight.
438
00:38:55,279 --> 00:38:57,509
"That's how good I was.
439
00:38:57,582 --> 00:39:00,346
"I'm gonna fight the Iceman next
and make him look bad.
440
00:39:00,418 --> 00:39:04,821
"Then I am gonna fight three people
in one night. That's how good I am."
441
00:39:05,590 --> 00:39:07,956
You say I talk too much?
I'm through talking.
442
00:39:08,026 --> 00:39:12,486
After tonight, I won't have to talk.
I never have to prove myself.
443
00:39:12,830 --> 00:39:16,527
I'm no fluke. I work hard to be best.
444
00:39:17,035 --> 00:39:19,060
Don't ever bet against me.
445
00:39:21,472 --> 00:39:24,464
-Congratulations, champ.
-My girl.
446
00:39:24,776 --> 00:39:27,904
-I love you, baby.
-I'm gonna borrow her for a minute.
447
00:39:27,979 --> 00:39:31,847
-Sure. Bye, Kelly.
-We'll be right back.
448
00:39:49,467 --> 00:39:53,631
First of all,
I wanted to say I love you a lot.
449
00:39:56,407 --> 00:39:58,432
I'm just so proud of you.
450
00:39:59,043 --> 00:40:01,671
Now everyone knows
how good you are.
451
00:40:02,246 --> 00:40:04,407
You're really important now.
452
00:40:07,685 --> 00:40:09,949
What I do isn't very important.
453
00:40:10,254 --> 00:40:12,415
It doesn't take
a lot of brains or courage...
454
00:40:12,490 --> 00:40:16,017
to jump around in the ring like I do.
455
00:40:23,501 --> 00:40:25,492
That's so pretty.
456
00:40:26,738 --> 00:40:28,205
It's for you.
457
00:40:29,741 --> 00:40:32,175
You mean you're giving this to me?
458
00:40:34,178 --> 00:40:36,510
You're the only champion I know.
459
00:40:38,616 --> 00:40:42,916
I just want you to know
how important you are to me...
460
00:40:45,590 --> 00:40:49,583
and how much inspiration
I get from you.
461
00:40:50,928 --> 00:40:54,625
I learn a lot just from watching you.
462
00:40:57,068 --> 00:40:59,559
So, Kelly, this championship belt...
463
00:41:02,340 --> 00:41:03,807
it's for you.
464
00:41:06,911 --> 00:41:08,708
I love you very much.
465
00:41:14,352 --> 00:41:17,515
Hey, Judge. It's time for that meeting.
466
00:41:18,089 --> 00:41:20,887
He just beat
the shit out of the Assassin.
467
00:41:21,092 --> 00:41:22,719
That boy is bad.
468
00:41:23,561 --> 00:41:27,895
You gotta keep him around for a while.
You could make millions off of him.
469
00:41:31,769 --> 00:41:33,532
-How you doing?
-Good.
470
00:41:47,251 --> 00:41:50,118
-Leon the Lover.
-Sure, I know who you are.
471
00:41:50,788 --> 00:41:54,588
And I know who you are.
This is my friend, Charles.
472
00:41:59,730 --> 00:42:04,133
You know, Leon, I've always thought
that something beautiful is simple.
473
00:42:04,535 --> 00:42:05,866
So simple.
474
00:42:06,704 --> 00:42:10,504
-You wanna fight my champion, right?
-That's why we're here.
475
00:42:11,442 --> 00:42:13,137
I own the champion.
476
00:42:13,211 --> 00:42:16,203
If you fight him,
then I take a percentage of you.
477
00:42:17,348 --> 00:42:21,478
If you win.... Many others
have tried and lost, he's a tough kid.
478
00:42:22,453 --> 00:42:25,911
But if you win,
then I own a percentage of you.
479
00:42:27,825 --> 00:42:30,555
Sounds like the only real winner
is you.
480
00:42:32,296 --> 00:42:35,663
You think you're big now?
Did it all yourself, right?
481
00:42:36,667 --> 00:42:38,862
Just imagine for a moment...
482
00:42:39,570 --> 00:42:43,267
what could happen to you
if I and my forces got behind you.
483
00:42:45,409 --> 00:42:49,539
That handsome face of yours
would be known across the world.
484
00:42:52,817 --> 00:42:55,513
I tell you when to fight,
when not to fight.
485
00:42:55,586 --> 00:42:59,215
Anything to do with fighting,
I and nobody else tell you.
486
00:43:00,191 --> 00:43:03,251
I don't deal with egos, emotion...
487
00:43:04,595 --> 00:43:06,495
just dollars and cents.
488
00:43:07,098 --> 00:43:09,896
How much percentage
are we talking about?
489
00:43:10,301 --> 00:43:13,270
-50%% off the top.
-Shit.
490
00:43:15,539 --> 00:43:18,975
What are we doing here?
Let's get the hell out of here.
491
00:43:19,210 --> 00:43:21,440
You know,
we got our own percentages here.
492
00:43:21,512 --> 00:43:25,346
With your 50%, we go down the toilet.
Then we got nothing left.
493
00:43:25,416 --> 00:43:27,145
Then readjust them.
494
00:43:27,652 --> 00:43:30,450
Leon, you're a smart fellow.
You know where it's coming from.
495
00:43:30,521 --> 00:43:34,252
All we're talking about
is a smaller piece of a bigger pie.
496
00:43:34,659 --> 00:43:36,923
You beat the Iceman,
you'll have both belts.
497
00:43:36,994 --> 00:43:39,292
Right now you're sitting
on top of the world.
498
00:43:39,363 --> 00:43:43,732
Yeah, and that world is gonna roll over
on you any minute now.
499
00:43:44,135 --> 00:43:48,333
Who the hell do you think you are?
You just walk right in here...
500
00:43:48,406 --> 00:43:51,705
and you take and take
after all the real work is done.
501
00:43:51,776 --> 00:43:56,645
If it wasn't for folks like me and Leon,
you'd be nowhere. You'd be nothing.
502
00:43:56,714 --> 00:43:59,410
Champ! Mr. Big Man.
503
00:44:00,918 --> 00:44:03,011
Leon, let's get out of here.
504
00:44:04,155 --> 00:44:06,316
Leon. Question:
505
00:44:07,725 --> 00:44:09,522
Does he talk for you?
506
00:44:11,329 --> 00:44:13,763
Excuse us for a couple of minutes.
507
00:44:16,467 --> 00:44:19,402
I'll give you five minutes
to think it over.
508
00:44:28,412 --> 00:44:31,074
You know,
you're embarrassing me, man.
509
00:44:31,148 --> 00:44:33,446
His offer embarrassed me.
510
00:44:33,651 --> 00:44:36,916
I wouldn't mind you going off
halfcocked if you had all your senses.
511
00:44:36,988 --> 00:44:40,355
But every time I see you lately,
you're damn near incoherent.
512
00:44:40,424 --> 00:44:43,723
-So? What if I am?
-It's just not that good for you.
513
00:44:45,062 --> 00:44:47,622
So now you're gonna tell me
what's good for me.
514
00:44:47,698 --> 00:44:49,791
There's nothing more for me to do.
515
00:44:49,867 --> 00:44:53,234
I got no more real involvement.
I got no more real say-so.
516
00:44:53,304 --> 00:44:56,102
Look, Charles, as your friend,
I owe it to you to tell you...
517
00:44:56,173 --> 00:44:57,367
you're going downhill.
518
00:44:57,441 --> 00:44:59,170
As my friend, you owed it to me...
519
00:44:59,243 --> 00:45:02,906
to tell me you're willing to give
our involvement away to some idiot.
520
00:45:02,980 --> 00:45:04,948
Charles, you just
don't understand business.
521
00:45:05,016 --> 00:45:08,349
Now quit blaming me
for every single thing.
522
00:45:08,419 --> 00:45:10,580
I mean, I'm just one man.
523
00:45:11,522 --> 00:45:14,184
No, you're not. You used to be.
524
00:45:18,629 --> 00:45:21,427
Why don't you just
get the hell out then?
525
00:45:22,166 --> 00:45:23,155
Okay.
526
00:45:25,069 --> 00:45:28,038
Don't even bother to come around.
I'll just send you your money.
527
00:45:28,105 --> 00:45:30,835
-You don't do anything to earn it.
-Fuck you.
528
00:45:30,908 --> 00:45:34,173
Would you rather I do what you'll do
and give it to your dope man...
529
00:45:34,245 --> 00:45:36,873
for some freebase
and some angel dust?
530
00:45:51,162 --> 00:45:53,892
-I take it we have a deal?
-Yeah.
531
00:45:55,633 --> 00:45:57,396
Yeah, we got a deal.
532
00:45:59,670 --> 00:46:03,470
We already got a contract.
What's the point in shaking hands?
533
00:46:04,275 --> 00:46:06,243
You already own my fist.
534
00:46:13,451 --> 00:46:16,852
Ladies and gentlemen...
535
00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:22,686
this is the main event of the evening.
536
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,251
Fifteen rounds of boxing...
537
00:46:25,362 --> 00:46:27,057
for the undisputed...
538
00:46:27,131 --> 00:46:30,862
welterweight championshipof the world.
539
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,038
And we got the bell for Round 1.Leon the Lover on his toes, dancing...
540
00:46:40,111 --> 00:46:41,237
and he's gonna have to.
541
00:46:41,312 --> 00:46:44,372
One good punch and it's overbecause he's fighting the Iceman...
542
00:46:44,448 --> 00:46:45,972
a real tough customer.
543
00:46:46,050 --> 00:46:49,781
He'll take five to give one,but that one will put you away.
544
00:47:02,099 --> 00:47:04,693
A lightning quick one-two-threeby Leon the Lover.
545
00:47:04,768 --> 00:47:09,364
I've never seen a boxeras quick or as sharp as the Lover.
546
00:47:55,119 --> 00:47:57,747
Leon looking good.
547
00:48:13,504 --> 00:48:15,734
Leon, what did they do to you?
548
00:48:15,906 --> 00:48:17,373
My poor baby.
549
00:48:17,641 --> 00:48:20,508
Excuse us, ladies,
we're still in the middle of a fight here.
550
00:48:20,578 --> 00:48:21,738
One...
551
00:48:23,614 --> 00:48:24,774
two...
552
00:48:26,050 --> 00:48:27,278
three....
553
00:48:43,934 --> 00:48:46,300
That was a mean shot he gave you.
554
00:48:46,370 --> 00:48:48,167
-One good thing.
-What's that?
555
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,800
Now those smart-ass sports writers
know I can take a blow.
556
00:48:51,875 --> 00:48:55,276
I can't knock this guy out, Franky.
I hit him as hard as I can.
557
00:48:55,346 --> 00:49:00,283
Now, look, go for right above the eye.
Twist the glove as you make contact.
558
00:49:00,351 --> 00:49:04,378
Cut that eye.
Puff his eyes up, break his nose.
559
00:49:04,588 --> 00:49:09,025
Anything. Make him stop this fight.
This guy is too thick to knock out.
560
00:49:09,093 --> 00:49:11,118
Damn, I don't wanna do all that
to the man.
561
00:49:11,195 --> 00:49:13,288
Damn you,
do it to him before he does it to you.
562
00:50:45,222 --> 00:50:48,020
I'm about to die from exhaustion
just from hitting him.
563
00:50:48,092 --> 00:50:49,753
Look, I was hoping to end it early.
564
00:50:49,827 --> 00:50:52,955
I knew these late rounds would be hell
and you'd have nothing left.
565
00:50:53,030 --> 00:50:55,760
But you're ahead on points
so just stay away from him.
566
00:50:55,833 --> 00:50:58,427
And for God's sake,
don't let him hit you.
567
00:50:58,502 --> 00:51:01,801
Good idea.
Why don't you take this next round?
568
00:52:19,149 --> 00:52:22,983
You ought to stop this, man.
I didn't come in here to kill anybody.
569
00:52:23,053 --> 00:52:25,021
Time. Go to that corner.
570
00:52:27,791 --> 00:52:30,954
Doctor, what do you think?
571
00:52:33,430 --> 00:52:34,920
No. That's it.
572
00:52:54,985 --> 00:52:58,250
No matter how much money
you spend, no matter how much...
573
00:52:58,355 --> 00:53:01,188
any doctor is gonna tell you
exactly this.
574
00:53:01,291 --> 00:53:04,658
There is no known cure
for sickle cell disease. None.
575
00:53:06,463 --> 00:53:09,990
How much time does she have left?
576
00:53:10,801 --> 00:53:12,325
You can't pinpoint that.
577
00:53:12,636 --> 00:53:15,605
-What do you want to do?
-I don't know.
578
00:53:18,375 --> 00:53:20,104
Whatever she wants.
579
00:53:20,944 --> 00:53:24,641
All right, let her come home then
if that's what she wants to do.
580
00:53:26,383 --> 00:53:28,351
Okay. All right.
581
00:53:34,992 --> 00:53:36,892
Congratulations.
582
00:53:37,494 --> 00:53:41,555
You got what I always knew you would:
the undisputed championship.
583
00:53:41,932 --> 00:53:45,333
Second, I heard about
the downhill news about your sister.
584
00:53:45,402 --> 00:53:47,563
I know there's nothing
anyone can do about it...
585
00:53:47,638 --> 00:53:52,234
but I have these superior ladies
who wanna take your mind off it.
586
00:53:52,976 --> 00:53:56,070
So if you wanna put your head in
and say hi...
587
00:53:56,146 --> 00:53:59,206
I could detain Julie
for a half-hour or so.
588
00:53:59,483 --> 00:54:03,510
Just get off some of the tension
and relax your mind.
589
00:54:08,091 --> 00:54:10,321
That's what they're there for.
590
00:54:25,809 --> 00:54:27,970
We heard you were Leon the Lover.
591
00:54:28,045 --> 00:54:31,947
-And we thought just one....
-May not be enough.
592
00:54:42,893 --> 00:54:44,360
He's so cute.
593
00:55:04,181 --> 00:55:07,480
-Hi, Julie. Looking for Leon?
-Yeah.
594
00:55:07,551 --> 00:55:11,078
He slipped off for a little privacy.
He's in 109.
595
00:55:12,522 --> 00:55:14,615
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
596
00:55:35,178 --> 00:55:36,509
I'm sorry.
597
00:55:38,048 --> 00:55:39,572
I'm so sorry.
598
00:55:41,685 --> 00:55:42,777
Shit.
599
00:55:51,028 --> 00:55:52,552
That was absolutely nothing.
600
00:55:52,629 --> 00:55:56,087
If I disappointed you, I'm sorry.
But that was nothing.
601
00:55:56,266 --> 00:55:58,757
It's just part of the business, I guess.
I don't know.
602
00:55:59,936 --> 00:56:02,837
You started off by telling me
about a dream.
603
00:56:03,140 --> 00:56:06,803
And somehow, I allowed myself
to get caught up in that dream.
604
00:56:06,877 --> 00:56:08,936
I know, baby, I know.
605
00:56:09,012 --> 00:56:13,142
No, you made it sound like
you were making those sacrifices...
606
00:56:13,216 --> 00:56:15,707
like you were the martyr,
doing it all for Kelly...
607
00:56:15,786 --> 00:56:19,017
and like you didn't want it.
But none of this is for Kelly.
608
00:56:19,089 --> 00:56:22,388
This is for you.
I should have known better.
609
00:56:23,193 --> 00:56:26,492
I mean, I meet them every day:
the superstars and super studs...
610
00:56:26,563 --> 00:56:28,963
and everybody
that never can get enough.
611
00:56:29,032 --> 00:56:31,296
Even if they had the best woman
in the world...
612
00:56:31,368 --> 00:56:33,563
they wouldn't even know
what to do with her.
613
00:56:33,637 --> 00:56:35,502
Just look at it, Leon.
614
00:56:36,106 --> 00:56:38,540
It's becoming a circus.
615
00:56:38,608 --> 00:56:41,702
The Leon the Lover Circus
with the side shows...
616
00:56:41,778 --> 00:56:44,611
-and the freaks and the lookie-loos.
-Yeah, I know, okay?
617
00:56:44,681 --> 00:56:48,708
But it has absolutely nothing to do
with you and me.
618
00:56:49,152 --> 00:56:52,781
-Julie, I love you.
-Don't you say that to me.
619
00:56:55,392 --> 00:56:59,294
You don't even know the meaning
of the word. You have no right.
620
00:57:05,802 --> 00:57:07,429
You know, Leon...
621
00:57:08,672 --> 00:57:13,439
somewhere out there on the road,
or in one of those rings...
622
00:57:13,677 --> 00:57:18,114
or in one of those dim hotel rooms...
623
00:57:19,549 --> 00:57:21,983
-you changed.
-Yeah, I changed.
624
00:57:22,052 --> 00:57:23,917
'Cause it's not as easy as it looks.
625
00:57:23,987 --> 00:57:26,217
Everybody wants something,
everybody grabbing.
626
00:57:26,289 --> 00:57:30,419
You say it's not for Kelly, it's for me.
Well, I work damn hard, Julie.
627
00:57:30,494 --> 00:57:33,759
And I deserve every single thing
that's happened to me.
628
00:57:34,331 --> 00:57:36,299
Yes, I'm afraid you do.
629
00:57:37,100 --> 00:57:39,500
And I feel sorry for you, Leon...
630
00:57:41,004 --> 00:57:43,302
because somehow...
631
00:57:44,141 --> 00:57:46,371
you got caught up with it all.
632
00:57:47,177 --> 00:57:49,304
And you became your biggest fan.
633
00:57:51,114 --> 00:57:53,048
I just wish you were double-jointed...
634
00:57:53,116 --> 00:57:56,176
so you could turn around
and kiss your own ass.
635
00:58:44,301 --> 00:58:46,963
Hello. He's asleep.
636
00:58:48,438 --> 00:58:52,738
All right. Leon, it's for you.
637
00:58:52,809 --> 00:58:54,902
They said it's important.
638
00:58:59,149 --> 00:59:01,140
-Leon?
-The Lover.
639
00:59:01,551 --> 00:59:02,916
It's Julie.
640
00:59:04,754 --> 00:59:07,484
How you doing?
It's good to hear your voice.
641
00:59:07,557 --> 00:59:10,185
Can you get over to Charles'right away, please?
642
00:59:10,260 --> 00:59:11,318
What's wrong?
643
00:59:11,394 --> 00:59:14,420
He's hopped upon some freebase or angel dust.
644
00:59:14,497 --> 00:59:18,058
I don't know, maybe both.He's out of his mind and hallucinating.
645
00:59:18,134 --> 00:59:19,931
I can't maintain him.
646
00:59:20,070 --> 00:59:23,597
All right. Okay, baby. I'll be right there.
647
00:59:40,490 --> 00:59:43,357
Leon, he jumped
right through the bedroom window...
648
00:59:43,426 --> 00:59:46,088
and he said
he saw monsters or something.
649
00:59:46,162 --> 00:59:48,824
-Will you give me my glasses?
-Charles.
650
00:59:48,899 --> 00:59:51,424
Leon, I'm very high, Leon.
651
00:59:51,501 --> 00:59:53,935
-I am very high right now.
-What's wrong, Charles?
652
00:59:54,004 --> 00:59:56,234
-They got away from me.
-What are they?
653
00:59:56,306 --> 00:59:58,001
-They're demons.
-Demons?
654
00:59:58,074 --> 01:00:00,804
Demons and monkeys
like in The Wizard of Oz.
655
01:00:00,877 --> 01:00:04,335
-No, there are no monkeys.
-Yes, there are. Don't you understand?
656
01:00:04,414 --> 01:00:08,111
Can't you see them? Are you stupid?
Don't you see them, Leon?
657
01:00:08,184 --> 01:00:12,177
-Leon, will you get my glasses?
-I'll get them, Charles.
658
01:00:12,255 --> 01:00:14,450
-Will you get my glasses?
-I'll find them for you.
659
01:00:14,524 --> 01:00:17,220
-I can't see without my glasses.
-I'll get them.
660
01:00:17,294 --> 01:00:19,023
I want my glasses.
661
01:00:20,830 --> 01:00:24,197
-Leon, will you get my glasses?
-I'll get them for you. Calm down.
662
01:00:24,267 --> 01:00:27,828
It's gonna be okay, Charles.
I promise you I'll make it okay for you.
663
01:00:27,904 --> 01:00:32,136
-Calm down, Charles.
-Leon, we created monsters.
664
01:00:38,748 --> 01:00:40,909
Back up. Let's get out of here.
665
01:00:40,984 --> 01:00:44,215
Okay? My glasses, will you get them?
666
01:00:45,121 --> 01:00:46,645
I'll find them.
667
01:00:47,691 --> 01:00:50,683
I can't see without my glasses!
668
01:01:09,446 --> 01:01:12,745
There's a guy that used to
never even touch a drink.
669
01:01:13,750 --> 01:01:16,275
What's happened to everybody, Julie?
670
01:01:17,220 --> 01:01:20,280
I think you have to answer
that question, Leon.
671
01:01:31,668 --> 01:01:35,297
Do you realize it's been close to a year
since you fought?
672
01:01:37,741 --> 01:01:39,333
What's the rush?
673
01:01:41,211 --> 01:01:44,305
I got a new champion standing by...
674
01:01:45,148 --> 01:01:46,945
and he's very hungry.
675
01:01:47,317 --> 01:01:49,842
Off with the old, on with the new.
676
01:01:50,020 --> 01:01:53,217
Let's just say
I can make more money with the new.
677
01:01:54,124 --> 01:01:57,582
If I tell him, he'd fight every month.
You wouldn't do that.
678
01:01:57,660 --> 01:02:01,187
No. Why should I? I paid my dues.
679
01:02:01,264 --> 01:02:03,960
I'm the champ. Now it's my reign.
680
01:02:06,636 --> 01:02:08,297
Your reign is over.
681
01:02:09,806 --> 01:02:12,969
No. I never lost a fight in my life.
682
01:02:15,078 --> 01:02:18,172
You'll lose this one.
You're too smart not to.
683
01:02:18,515 --> 01:02:20,745
Besides, he'd beat you anyway.
684
01:02:21,317 --> 01:02:23,751
This bum's an animal, he's a killer.
685
01:02:23,853 --> 01:02:26,651
He's not like you.
He's not in it for money or glory.
686
01:02:26,723 --> 01:02:28,350
He likes to fight.
687
01:02:28,925 --> 01:02:31,450
If it wasn't for this,
he'd be in the slammer somewhere.
688
01:02:31,528 --> 01:02:33,428
Or somebody would've killed him.
689
01:02:33,496 --> 01:02:37,296
I'm just supposed to roll over
and play dead?
690
01:02:38,802 --> 01:02:41,794
Leon, let me explain something to you.
691
01:02:42,405 --> 01:02:44,270
This is strictly business.
692
01:02:44,340 --> 01:02:47,070
The contract I had on you,
I put up for collateral.
693
01:02:47,143 --> 01:02:50,408
Now it's being called in.
I need the money.
694
01:02:51,381 --> 01:02:54,908
I'm taking everything I have
and betting it against you.
695
01:02:55,919 --> 01:02:59,821
My entire career down the drain
just like that.
696
01:03:00,156 --> 01:03:02,647
I am overextended. I need the edge.
697
01:03:03,093 --> 01:03:07,723
I told you when we met I don't deal
in emotion, just dollars and cents.
698
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,997
There's $200,000 in there. Take it.
699
01:03:14,838 --> 01:03:16,806
Bet it against yourself.
700
01:03:16,906 --> 01:03:20,000
Get out of the fight game
while you still got your good looks...
701
01:03:20,076 --> 01:03:22,203
and about a million in cash.
702
01:03:31,721 --> 01:03:34,155
She's sleeping really good now.
She'll be fine.
703
01:03:34,224 --> 01:03:37,489
Look, I'm gonna go.
I still got some runs to make.
704
01:03:38,628 --> 01:03:40,755
What are you looking at me
like that for?
705
01:03:40,830 --> 01:03:44,823
I'm just looking at what I sacrificed
the best years of my life for.
706
01:03:45,802 --> 01:03:48,532
-Nothing.
-Oh, Mama.
707
01:03:51,908 --> 01:03:55,105
Two marriages didn't work out,
I didn't try anymore.
708
01:03:55,445 --> 01:03:58,039
I didn't run the streets. I stayed in.
709
01:03:58,281 --> 01:04:01,478
I tried to make a home
and be two parents to my kids.
710
01:04:01,551 --> 01:04:04,145
And what thanks do you get? None.
711
01:04:05,321 --> 01:04:08,381
Mama, I really don't need to hear
all this again tonight.
712
01:04:08,458 --> 01:04:12,053
You'd at least hope they'd grow up
to be somebody that you're proud of.
713
01:04:12,128 --> 01:04:15,894
You have done absolutely nothing
with the brains I and God gave you.
714
01:04:15,965 --> 01:04:18,058
-Look at Jerome down the street.
-Jerome.
715
01:04:18,134 --> 01:04:22,332
He went and got his college education
and now he's fighting for his masters.
716
01:04:22,405 --> 01:04:25,499
I make 10 times the amount of money
that Jerome makes.
717
01:04:25,575 --> 01:04:29,511
I sacrificed for you to be a doctor.
You were supposed to be somebody.
718
01:04:29,579 --> 01:04:31,376
I am somebody, Mama.
719
01:04:32,015 --> 01:04:34,609
Maybe not
what you wanted me to be...
720
01:04:35,084 --> 01:04:38,076
but a whole lot of people
would like to be me.
721
01:04:40,757 --> 01:04:44,056
That's 'cause a whole lot of people
don't really know you.
722
01:04:45,695 --> 01:04:49,222
You know, for most all of my life,
all I remember saying is, "Yes, Mama.
723
01:04:49,299 --> 01:04:51,426
"Yes, Mama, I'll try and do better.
724
01:04:51,501 --> 01:04:53,401
"Yes, Mama, I'll try and do it your way.
725
01:04:53,469 --> 01:04:56,370
"If that's the way you want it,
then that's the way I'll do it.
726
01:04:56,439 --> 01:05:01,001
"Yes, I'll try and get straight A's."
"Yes, Mama," to this and to that!
727
01:05:04,781 --> 01:05:07,875
Mama, please,
why don't you let me off all of this?
728
01:05:08,952 --> 01:05:12,911
I go through all that I've been through.
And I win.
729
01:05:13,223 --> 01:05:15,953
And now I got money, I got results.
730
01:05:16,025 --> 01:05:18,186
And I am somebody.
731
01:05:19,996 --> 01:05:23,830
Ricardo Santiago.; Is he a madman,a deranged man, or a machine?
732
01:05:23,900 --> 01:05:27,301
Say all you want, but I've never seena fighter look so awesome...
733
01:05:27,370 --> 01:05:28,701
in a way, frightening.
734
01:05:28,771 --> 01:05:32,172
This man soaks his hands in brinetwo hours a day, like the karate men.
735
01:05:32,242 --> 01:05:34,142
He puts them in hot coalsto toughen them.
736
01:05:34,210 --> 01:05:37,111
With these fists, he can break bricksand smash through wood.
737
01:05:37,180 --> 01:05:40,843
You can imagine what these handscan do to the head of Leon the Lover.
738
01:05:40,917 --> 01:05:44,819
Just look at what he can,and does do to his sparring partners.
739
01:06:10,647 --> 01:06:11,841
Get up!
740
01:06:12,615 --> 01:06:14,640
Don't fucking fall. Get up!
741
01:06:17,553 --> 01:06:19,817
Get up.
742
01:06:24,127 --> 01:06:26,891
Bring your ass over here.
Bring me some spar.
743
01:06:26,963 --> 01:06:30,057
Bring your fucking ass in here.
Get in here!
744
01:06:31,234 --> 01:06:34,965
Fucking ass in here.
Let's get some real sparring in here.
745
01:06:41,377 --> 01:06:42,605
Come on.
746
01:06:53,589 --> 01:06:56,683
Get up, you....
What the fuck are you looking at?
747
01:07:12,075 --> 01:07:14,373
Get your fucking ass back here.
748
01:07:14,711 --> 01:07:16,975
We're at the training facilities
of the challenger:
749
01:07:17,046 --> 01:07:20,072
Ricardo "Madman" Santiago,
and here's the man himself.
750
01:07:20,149 --> 01:07:22,982
Hey, Ricardo.
How are you feeling, my man?
751
01:07:24,721 --> 01:07:26,211
Good to see you, Ricardo.
752
01:07:26,289 --> 01:07:30,089
Listen, watching you spar,
I get the feeling you like to fight.
753
01:07:30,159 --> 01:07:32,525
Can you tell our viewers
about the beach you live on?
754
01:07:32,595 --> 01:07:35,393
-Do you own it? Did you buy it?
-I didn't buy it.
755
01:07:35,465 --> 01:07:38,366
I just kicked everybody's ass.
They do what I say.
756
01:07:38,434 --> 01:07:41,631
Yeah, I bet you do.
Somebody told me the other day...
757
01:07:41,704 --> 01:07:44,730
that you were filling out
a medical application, and it said:
758
01:07:44,807 --> 01:07:46,536
"Occupation." And what did you say?
759
01:07:46,609 --> 01:07:51,046
It say, "What do I do for a living?"
I said, "I knock motherfuckers out."
760
01:07:51,114 --> 01:07:54,743
Yeah, I'll bet you do.
Listen, can we use any of this yet?
761
01:07:55,218 --> 01:07:56,742
All right, keep rolling.
762
01:07:56,819 --> 01:08:00,220
I don't want you to get upset with me
because I didn't say this...
763
01:08:00,289 --> 01:08:03,258
but it's been said
that you're not the cleanest of fighters.
764
01:08:03,326 --> 01:08:06,227
You've been known to hit
below the belt at times, is that true?
765
01:08:06,295 --> 01:08:09,526
The referee warned me,
maybe even take away a point...
766
01:08:09,599 --> 01:08:13,194
-but by then, I'd done my damage.
-Okay, fine.
767
01:08:14,971 --> 01:08:19,135
I hate to say this, but it has been said
you're not liked by your own people.
768
01:08:19,208 --> 01:08:23,235
Did you, in fact, say that you hate
old people, that they kind of smell?
769
01:08:23,312 --> 01:08:26,076
I ain't here to win
no popularity contest.
770
01:08:26,149 --> 01:08:29,448
I ain't even here for the money.
I'm here to kick ass, man.
771
01:08:29,519 --> 01:08:31,248
-Please, can I have your--
-Autograph!
772
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,016
Excuse me, ma'am,
we're trying to do a TV interview here.
773
01:08:34,090 --> 01:08:37,184
I just want a quick picture
of my baby with the champ.
774
01:08:37,260 --> 01:08:38,750
Look at Mommy.
775
01:08:40,263 --> 01:08:44,666
-How long will this fight will last?
-I won't return to my country without....
776
01:08:44,734 --> 01:08:47,726
Hey, lady, your baby peed on me!
777
01:08:48,871 --> 01:08:50,839
Why don't you pick on someone
your own size?
778
01:08:50,907 --> 01:08:53,341
Who the fuck do you think you are?
779
01:08:54,744 --> 01:08:57,611
Get her out of here!
Get that fucking camera out of here!
780
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:02,174
Get his fucking ass out of here!
No more to say. I will be champion!
781
01:09:06,789 --> 01:09:09,656
So it was withRicardo "Madman" Santiago.
782
01:09:09,725 --> 01:09:12,285
And in contrast,in this reporter's opinion...
783
01:09:12,361 --> 01:09:15,660
the once-brilliant Leon the Lovernever looked worse.
784
01:09:15,731 --> 01:09:20,225
-Judge, it's looking better every day.
-We don't want runaway odds.
785
01:09:20,770 --> 01:09:24,035
He ain't faking. He ain't got it no more.
786
01:09:24,674 --> 01:09:27,108
You took away his heart.
Now his mind's not focused.
787
01:09:27,176 --> 01:09:29,201
You took away his stamina.
788
01:09:29,979 --> 01:09:33,676
You took away his teen.Now he has no goals. He's finished.
789
01:09:34,116 --> 01:09:36,949
He's just another fighterwaiting to lose.
790
01:09:59,742 --> 01:10:02,438
Come on, Julie. I know you're in there.
791
01:10:03,246 --> 01:10:07,046
You're too damn strait-laced
to be out at this time of night.
792
01:10:07,750 --> 01:10:09,115
What do you want?
793
01:10:10,219 --> 01:10:15,179
-Leon, it's :00 in the morning.
-Will you let me in? Please.
794
01:10:19,295 --> 01:10:21,490
I need to talk to you, Julie.
795
01:10:28,604 --> 01:10:30,333
You're soaking wet.
796
01:11:00,336 --> 01:11:02,930
-You want some tea?
-Tea?
797
01:11:06,309 --> 01:11:08,300
No, I don't want any tea.
798
01:11:09,946 --> 01:11:13,074
-I wanna talk to you.
-Talk.
799
01:11:15,885 --> 01:11:19,252
It's just all come tumbling down,
that's all.
800
01:11:21,624 --> 01:11:26,220
I can't train, my body's not right...
801
01:11:27,330 --> 01:11:31,790
my head's not right.
There's no way I can win this fight.
802
01:11:35,871 --> 01:11:37,099
Big Man...
803
01:11:39,208 --> 01:11:41,904
he's got himself
a new moneymaker now.
804
01:11:42,878 --> 01:11:44,846
He's betting against me.
805
01:11:45,715 --> 01:11:48,309
He gave me $200,000...
806
01:11:50,252 --> 01:11:52,117
to bet against myself.
807
01:11:57,326 --> 01:12:00,887
That, and my end of the gate...
808
01:12:03,165 --> 01:12:05,861
it's all I got. So I'll throw the fight.
809
01:12:05,935 --> 01:12:09,928
If you want me to agree with you,
you've come to the wrong place.
810
01:12:10,272 --> 01:12:12,502
You'd never agree to nothing wrong.
811
01:12:12,575 --> 01:12:16,375
That's not what I came over to tell you.
812
01:12:22,718 --> 01:12:25,619
Would you at least come
and sit next to me?
813
01:12:33,095 --> 01:12:34,460
This money...
814
01:12:36,198 --> 01:12:41,033
it's enough for Kelly's expenses,
and her happiness.
815
01:12:43,239 --> 01:12:47,232
Other than that, nothing else matters
too much anymore...
816
01:12:50,079 --> 01:12:51,944
except for you, Julie.
817
01:12:53,849 --> 01:12:55,646
Julie, I need you.
818
01:12:58,788 --> 01:13:02,417
I'm not strong enough for this.
Please don't do this to me.
819
01:13:02,491 --> 01:13:05,460
If you care anything at all about me,
you wouldn't do this...
820
01:13:05,528 --> 01:13:07,519
because this might be easy to you...
821
01:13:07,596 --> 01:13:11,054
but it took me a long time
to get you out of my system.
822
01:13:12,368 --> 01:13:15,098
I don't play with hearts the way you do.
823
01:13:15,871 --> 01:13:18,465
-I love you.
-Don't.
824
01:13:19,241 --> 01:13:23,974
You want me to beg?
Okay, I'm begging. I love you.
825
01:14:45,561 --> 01:14:48,621
-Got up early this morning?
-I had a lot to do.
826
01:14:49,665 --> 01:14:52,259
And I know you don't like yogurt.
827
01:14:55,004 --> 01:14:59,532
Speaking of doing,
did you put our money in a safe place?
828
01:15:01,143 --> 01:15:04,078
Did you really mean
what you said last night?
829
01:15:04,847 --> 01:15:06,474
I mean, about us.
830
01:15:07,116 --> 01:15:09,607
Yes. I did.
831
01:15:23,732 --> 01:15:27,964
I could never love a man who would
take money to throw his own fight.
832
01:15:29,872 --> 01:15:31,396
But I love you.
833
01:15:32,441 --> 01:15:34,966
So I went to Big Man's office
this morning...
834
01:15:35,044 --> 01:15:38,309
and I told him
that you didn't need his leech money...
835
01:15:38,380 --> 01:15:40,473
and I threw it back at him.
836
01:15:42,785 --> 01:15:44,685
You're just testing me.
837
01:15:52,027 --> 01:15:53,892
No, you really didn't.
838
01:15:56,932 --> 01:15:58,559
You had no right.
839
01:15:59,001 --> 01:16:03,028
Don't you understand
it's the only guarantee I had?
840
01:16:06,542 --> 01:16:08,772
You don't understand business, Julie.
841
01:16:08,844 --> 01:16:13,110
I understand business enough
to borrow against everything I own:
842
01:16:13,215 --> 01:16:16,048
the money, my car, this house.
843
01:16:16,418 --> 01:16:19,512
And I put it on a bet
for Leon the Lover to win.
844
01:16:20,689 --> 01:16:24,250
-You must've gone crazy.
-So you're mad?
845
01:16:24,426 --> 01:16:27,418
Go ahead and be mad.
You can go back to Big Man's...
846
01:16:27,496 --> 01:16:30,829
and retake the money,
and bet against yourself again...
847
01:16:30,900 --> 01:16:35,860
but I bet every cent that I have
on my man to win.
848
01:16:37,373 --> 01:16:39,603
So now what are you gonna do?
849
01:17:36,098 --> 01:17:38,089
I'll show you how to jab.
850
01:17:39,768 --> 01:17:42,703
Take that jab straight up.
Don't wait for it.
851
01:18:11,166 --> 01:18:14,158
Come on! Got you going now.
What you gonna do?
852
01:18:22,478 --> 01:18:25,879
Go, champ, go!
853
01:18:41,830 --> 01:18:43,297
What are you doing here?
854
01:18:43,365 --> 01:18:45,560
-You look good.
-I don't know.
855
01:18:47,503 --> 01:18:50,438
Wait a minute.
What are we doing here? Let's go!
856
01:18:54,543 --> 01:18:57,910
Run it out. Come on.
857
01:19:00,916 --> 01:19:03,885
Come on. Good time, baby.
858
01:19:03,952 --> 01:19:06,853
-A little slow.
-What are you talking about?
859
01:19:07,056 --> 01:19:10,048
I got my strength back.
I got my family back.
860
01:19:10,292 --> 01:19:12,556
With you,
I can whip just about anybody.
861
01:19:12,628 --> 01:19:14,528
Well, maybe.
862
01:19:35,884 --> 01:19:38,682
-Where are you going?
-I'm gonna work out.
863
01:19:39,655 --> 01:19:43,386
Now? Why don't you just relax, baby?
864
01:19:45,727 --> 01:19:48,787
I can't. I'll be at the gym.
865
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:01,435
One-two, one-two,
one-two-three, one-two-three.
866
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:06,871
Stick him.
867
01:20:40,282 --> 01:20:42,045
It's almost morning.
868
01:20:44,753 --> 01:20:48,655
I don't know, Julie.
Even if I were in the top best shape...
869
01:20:50,592 --> 01:20:52,992
I don't know if I could beat him.
870
01:20:54,563 --> 01:20:56,360
Yet I want to so bad.
871
01:20:58,167 --> 01:21:03,036
It's not him I'm against.
It's just everything else tied up in it.
872
01:21:06,642 --> 01:21:10,169
God. I want it so bad.
873
01:21:14,950 --> 01:21:16,144
I know.
874
01:22:56,885 --> 01:23:01,686
It's still not too late.
Be smart. Take your money.
875
01:23:03,091 --> 01:23:07,585
You know, Big Man, you got a genius
for figuring out everybody's weakness.
876
01:23:08,063 --> 01:23:10,998
Girls, pride, dope,
give them what they want.
877
01:23:11,433 --> 01:23:14,960
The more you give them,
the more you can call the shots.
878
01:23:15,504 --> 01:23:18,371
Nobody's ever figured out
what could get to you.
879
01:23:18,440 --> 01:23:20,408
Nobody's ever said "no."
880
01:23:21,276 --> 01:23:23,836
I'm not throwing this damn fight.
I'm betting to win.
881
01:23:23,912 --> 01:23:27,348
Then I'm looking for the big boys
to take you both on a one-way trip...
882
01:23:27,416 --> 01:23:30,351
-when you can't cover your bets.
-You'll die.
883
01:23:31,019 --> 01:23:33,647
Probably still running your big mouth.
884
01:23:34,156 --> 01:23:35,817
You wanna kill me?
885
01:23:36,091 --> 01:23:39,356
Go ahead. Everybody dies.
886
01:23:40,662 --> 01:23:45,224
One thing I learned from my sister:
It ain't dying that's bad...
887
01:23:46,301 --> 01:23:48,098
it's how you do it.
888
01:23:50,138 --> 01:23:53,335
Forget it.
He still don't have a chance in hell.
889
01:23:54,743 --> 01:23:58,679
Ali!
890
01:24:47,362 --> 01:24:51,696
Leon the Lover!
891
01:25:11,753 --> 01:25:14,654
Here he is, Leon the Lover,the Golden Boy.
892
01:25:14,723 --> 01:25:18,090
He's made what some call a dirtysport into his personal showcase.
893
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,027
Looks like he took lessonsfrom Ziegfeld, Barnum and Bailey...
894
01:25:21,096 --> 01:25:23,690
and the great Muhammad Aliin showmanship.
895
01:25:23,765 --> 01:25:27,792
Undefeated, untied,and to many folks, still untested.
896
01:25:27,869 --> 01:25:30,770
You know, they refer to himas a "showboat cheesecake."
897
01:25:30,839 --> 01:25:33,501
They feel he didn't pay any dues,it came to him too easy.
898
01:25:33,575 --> 01:25:35,566
Maybe he just made it look that way,
Eddie.
899
01:25:35,644 --> 01:25:38,306
But tonight,we've got a new Leon the Lover.
900
01:25:38,380 --> 01:25:41,042
Serious, deadly earnest, no jokes...
901
01:25:41,116 --> 01:25:43,949
a silent, serious Leon the Lover.
902
01:26:15,851 --> 01:26:17,250
Thank you for telling me to come.
903
01:26:17,319 --> 01:26:19,480
I want him to know I'm here,
I'm rooting for him.
904
01:26:19,554 --> 01:26:21,215
Good, have a seat.
905
01:26:22,023 --> 01:26:24,253
Kelly, sit next to Mama, okay?
906
01:26:40,775 --> 01:26:42,436
We got the bell for Round 1.
907
01:26:42,511 --> 01:26:45,105
As you can see,there's no feeling each other out...
908
01:26:45,180 --> 01:26:47,740
no fancy strategy.Both men hungry for a win...
909
01:26:47,816 --> 01:26:49,477
come out fighting.
910
01:26:59,828 --> 01:27:03,457
Ricardo, head down like a fullback,charging into Leon.
911
01:27:14,576 --> 01:27:18,034
Rope-a-dope, come on.You heard what I told you.
912
01:27:24,553 --> 01:27:28,080
-No knock down, just dirty fighting.-Yes, it is, Eddie.
913
01:27:28,156 --> 01:27:29,453
He's manhandling Leon.
914
01:27:29,524 --> 01:27:33,085
Over the course of 15 rounds,it's got to take its toll.
915
01:27:33,562 --> 01:27:35,086
Get up, nigger!
916
01:27:38,266 --> 01:27:41,064
Show me something.
I came to fight a man.
917
01:27:51,446 --> 01:27:54,677
I thought we'd see more movement,more involvement from Leon...
918
01:27:54,749 --> 01:27:56,649
the fastest hands and feetin the West...
919
01:27:56,718 --> 01:27:58,811
but where are they tonight?
920
01:27:59,254 --> 01:28:01,745
A tremendous blow knocks outthe Lover's mouthpiece.
921
01:28:01,823 --> 01:28:03,916
He's wobbly. Could go down.
922
01:28:04,259 --> 01:28:06,659
Ricardo's fighting like a madman.
923
01:28:07,062 --> 01:28:10,031
He's deranged, man.
He's gotta be on something.
924
01:28:10,098 --> 01:28:12,259
He's on something, all right.
He's on Leon's ass.
925
01:28:12,334 --> 01:28:14,131
You're right about that.
926
01:28:14,202 --> 01:28:16,102
Leon the Lover is in big trouble.
927
01:28:16,171 --> 01:28:20,733
He's trying to hold on,and he's taking a terrible beating.
928
01:28:21,042 --> 01:28:24,205
A tremendous Ricardo right,and the Lover's down.
929
01:28:38,193 --> 01:28:39,717
Replace the referee!
930
01:28:39,794 --> 01:28:43,924
The Lover is dazed, sleepwalking.He doesn't know where he is.
931
01:28:49,170 --> 01:28:52,833
A tremendous club to the headthrows Leon hard to the canvas.
932
01:28:52,907 --> 01:28:55,705
-He may not get up.
-You've got to get up!
933
01:28:57,579 --> 01:28:59,308
Stay away from him!
934
01:29:04,586 --> 01:29:08,784
Six, seven, eight.And he's up. Just barely.
935
01:29:08,857 --> 01:29:10,654
But two knockdownsin the first round...
936
01:29:10,725 --> 01:29:12,920
one more like that,and this fight's over early.
937
01:29:12,994 --> 01:29:14,985
-How many fingers?
-Three.
938
01:29:15,196 --> 01:29:18,427
-What day is it?
-I didn't know when I walked in here.
939
01:29:18,500 --> 01:29:22,402
-Where are you?
-In one hell of a fight, but it's not over.
940
01:29:26,341 --> 01:29:29,970
Keep your guard up!
Hold on! Rope-a-dope!
941
01:29:56,037 --> 01:30:00,371
Badly beaten, the Lover is beinghelped, almost carried, to his corner.
942
01:30:08,550 --> 01:30:12,418
-You all right? Can you make it?
-I gotta make it.
943
01:30:12,787 --> 01:30:15,255
I just didn't know
which one of them it was.
944
01:30:15,323 --> 01:30:18,258
I'm gonna fight
all three of those bastards.
945
01:30:22,464 --> 01:30:26,195
It's the beginning of Round 2.It's starting off like the last one.
946
01:30:26,267 --> 01:30:30,226
Ricardo, mauling and manhandlingLeon the Lover almost at will.
947
01:30:34,976 --> 01:30:38,275
This is no ring boxing.This is back-alley brawling.
948
01:30:48,056 --> 01:30:50,991
-Butt him in the head.
-Come on, Leon!
949
01:30:54,929 --> 01:30:58,524
Twenty-five years of announcing,and never anything like this.
950
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:02,764
This is a disgrace.Why doesn't the referee stop this?
951
01:31:02,904 --> 01:31:06,704
Ricardo should be disqualified,this fight should be stopped.
952
01:31:19,821 --> 01:31:21,880
We got no referee here!
953
01:31:30,231 --> 01:31:33,826
This is utterly unbelievable,a sad day for the sport of boxing.
954
01:31:33,902 --> 01:31:36,336
You can't treat my baby like that.
955
01:32:20,548 --> 01:32:24,075
What a tremendous beating,in fact, an unnecessary beating...
956
01:32:24,152 --> 01:32:26,484
as Leon is literally draggedto his corner.
957
01:32:26,554 --> 01:32:29,717
And now I ask,how much more can one man take?
958
01:32:29,791 --> 01:32:33,124
It's sad to see so much talentdissipate so rapidly.
959
01:32:37,232 --> 01:32:41,726
I don't think you can knock him out.
You've got to try and outpoint him.
960
01:32:41,870 --> 01:32:45,931
You got to take these next rounds.
Impress the judges.
961
01:32:46,007 --> 01:32:49,374
Finish each round pretty. Now go.
962
01:34:49,664 --> 01:34:53,259
Use your head, your shoulders,
elbows, anything.
963
01:34:55,636 --> 01:34:59,834
So far, this has not been the cleanestof fights. It's been one hell of a brawl.
964
01:34:59,907 --> 01:35:03,434
What we have here is two superior,determined, gifted boxers...
965
01:35:03,511 --> 01:35:06,446
and there will beno early knockout tonight.
966
01:35:06,981 --> 01:35:10,178
Ed, between rounds once again,this crowd is a little stunned.
967
01:35:10,251 --> 01:35:11,650
One reporter has just yelled...
968
01:35:11,719 --> 01:35:15,052
that he's never seen a fighterso thoroughly possessed as Ricardo.
969
01:35:15,123 --> 01:35:18,354
He says he must be highto be so emotionally charged up.
970
01:35:18,426 --> 01:35:22,487
In his corner, Leon has not sat down,is still on his feet between rounds...
971
01:35:22,563 --> 01:35:26,329
maybe not so smart, because by now,he must know that he's in big trouble.
972
01:35:26,401 --> 01:35:29,700
But win or lose,he's shown he's not just a showboat...
973
01:35:29,771 --> 01:35:32,296
but a game champion,and, Ed, there's no doubt about it.
974
01:35:32,373 --> 01:35:34,034
The man has heart.
975
01:35:34,575 --> 01:35:38,306
You've got the fight won.
Just stay away from him.
976
01:35:38,713 --> 01:35:41,876
Shit, you can let him have
these last few rounds.
977
01:35:42,884 --> 01:35:46,320
You lost too many rounds.
Are you gonna knock him out?
978
01:35:46,387 --> 01:35:48,378
You gotta close the show.
979
01:35:55,596 --> 01:36:00,260
This ain't gonna be a judge's decision.
Me and you, one of us is going down.
980
01:36:07,375 --> 01:36:11,436
You finally decided to fight, my friend.
I've been here all night.
981
01:36:18,386 --> 01:36:23,119
Your sister gonna get up off her ass
to dance with me at the victory party?
982
01:36:35,336 --> 01:36:38,897
And now, it's starting to come back,as four times in a row...
983
01:36:38,973 --> 01:36:41,305
Leon beats Ricardo to the punch.
984
01:36:45,113 --> 01:36:48,207
-Come on, Leon!
-Come on, son.
985
01:37:18,779 --> 01:37:21,612
Leon's boxing much better now.He's more in control.
986
01:37:21,682 --> 01:37:26,085
The Lover's back, looking pretty as heturns out his patterned moves.
987
01:37:39,333 --> 01:37:43,167
There you see the old Leon the Lover,the man who electrified audiences.
988
01:37:43,237 --> 01:37:46,934
This is definitely Leon's round,but is it too little, too late?
989
01:37:47,008 --> 01:37:50,102
It's still gonna take a knockoutfor Leon to win.
990
01:37:50,178 --> 01:37:53,079
You gotta knock him out!
991
01:37:57,385 --> 01:37:59,683
You proud bastard!
992
01:38:33,421 --> 01:38:37,755
Leon the Lover, fighting his way back.He's had trouble since round one...
993
01:38:37,825 --> 01:38:40,988
but he's shown he's got more heartthan any fighter I've ever known.
994
01:38:41,062 --> 01:38:44,361
You almost had him.
I didn't think he was gonna get up.
995
01:38:44,432 --> 01:38:47,629
One more son-of-a-bitching blow!
996
01:38:49,203 --> 01:38:52,400
-I gave it everything I had.
-I know you did, son.
997
01:38:52,940 --> 01:38:56,637
Let me turn around.
I don't want him to see how tired I am.
998
01:38:57,345 --> 01:39:01,679
There's nothing left.
I can't walk. I can't move.
999
01:39:02,083 --> 01:39:05,018
I can't throw a punch.
I can barely breathe.
1000
01:39:05,386 --> 01:39:07,877
One more son-of-a-bitching blow!
1001
01:39:08,155 --> 01:39:10,350
And so we're down to the very end.
1002
01:39:10,424 --> 01:39:14,360
If Ricardo hangs on for three minutes,he becomes the undisputed champ.
1003
01:39:14,428 --> 01:39:17,295
But Leon the Lover seemsmore intense than I've ever seen him.
1004
01:39:17,365 --> 01:39:18,957
Don't fight him.
1005
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:22,865
You proud bastard. Don't fight him.
1006
01:39:23,304 --> 01:39:28,139
Just stay away three more minutes,
and you're the new champion.
1007
01:39:28,743 --> 01:39:32,907
-Not for nobody. I'll kick his ass.
-Aren't you listening?
1008
01:39:32,980 --> 01:39:36,507
Aren't I getting through to you?
Stay away from him...
1009
01:39:36,584 --> 01:39:40,714
and you are the new champion.
Just stay away. It's won, it's yours.
1010
01:39:47,762 --> 01:39:49,662
Just push me out there.
1011
01:40:24,632 --> 01:40:27,100
One, two...
1012
01:40:27,635 --> 01:40:30,695
three, four, five.
1013
01:40:35,476 --> 01:40:38,775
Ricardo, knock that son of a bitch
on his ass.
1014
01:40:42,249 --> 01:40:45,776
What a fight. What a war!The best thing I've ever seen.
1015
01:40:45,986 --> 01:40:49,752
-That's right, Leon!
-Do it, Leon.
1016
01:40:52,660 --> 01:40:55,959
-Come on, Leon.
-Come on, baby!
1017
01:40:58,499 --> 01:41:01,696
Close the show!
1018
01:41:12,780 --> 01:41:14,145
Impress the judges.
1019
01:41:14,215 --> 01:41:17,514
One more son-of-a-bitching blow!
One more.
1020
01:41:28,596 --> 01:41:30,587
You gotta close the show!
1021
01:41:30,698 --> 01:41:32,666
Come on, baby!
1022
01:41:35,636 --> 01:41:38,196
He's ready to fall.
1023
01:41:41,242 --> 01:41:43,472
He's gonna fall!
1024
01:41:44,712 --> 01:41:46,145
Fall, fall!
1025
01:41:53,587 --> 01:41:58,251
...three, four, five, six...
1026
01:41:59,059 --> 01:42:03,621
seven, eight, nine, ten.
1027
01:42:03,697 --> 01:42:06,530
And Leon the Loverhas done the impossible!
1028
01:42:07,168 --> 01:42:10,467
-It was an incredible fight.-Absolutely incredible.
1029
01:42:41,802 --> 01:42:44,930
Leon the Lover!
1030
01:42:45,539 --> 01:42:47,973
I love you, Leon. I'm so proud of you.
1031
01:42:51,412 --> 01:42:53,312
I knew you could do it.
1032
01:43:13,234 --> 01:43:15,964
And that makes three, a winner for life.
