Our evening continues with a second bout of educational boxing.

Coaches, prepare your fighters.

Thank you.

Evening, you have a ticket?

No, it's inside.

Well, I need to see a ticket.

-I was in the ring. -A badge?

I was in the ring. My stuff's inside.

-Do you have a badge? -It's inside.

-I need it. -I'll get it.

You can't go in without it.

I just came out. Seriously.

How should I know? I didn't see you.

-I need your badge. -Hocine!

No can do.

-Calling Hocine makes no difference. -Makes no difference? What the...

-They won't let me in. -Excuse me, boys.

I was in the ring.

How should I know?

Can't you tell he boxed?

I don't know, maybe he fell. No badge, no entry.

-You said no one without a badge. -He boxed, you moron. Move.

Did you win?

Almost.

Does that hurt?

Not at all.

It's a pleasure.

-Can I come next time, please? -No.

Why not?

-Because... -Can I? Please...

-I said, no. -Please.

-No. -Why not? Please.

Because you can't.

Why not?

Because you can't!

Why?

Wait.

Pass the cherries.

WEIGHT

Pass me the other bag.

Here.

All set?

We're not quite finished.

No, come in.

Wait in the garden, if you like.

Go ahead.

-You're sure you don't mind? -Not at all.

Oscar, be careful.

Start over. From here to there.

I'll be right back.

-She plays well, right? -She does.

With both hands?

Yes, of course, that's the very least.

Mr. Landry, would you mind paying the lessons you owe me?

School vacation is soon, I'd rather we settled up.

Sorry, I forgot. How much do I owe you?

The last three lessons, plus this one, makes 160.

What can I do to help her progress?

You see?

There aren't that many options.

Getting to the next level requires daily practice.

It takes a piano?

Yes, that would be...

Yes, it takes a piano.

Pianos are expensive.

It depends. But it is an investment, that's for certain.

I only have 70 euros on me.

I'll bring the rest...

-after vacation? -Yeah, that's fine.

Do you think she's got it?

Got what?

In boxing, when a boxer's got it...

he's got it.

You know...

playing the piano isn't like boxing.

Of course not.

Oscar, let's go.

See you!

What did she say?

That you're on fire.

Dad, it's over.

Take another.

Take another spin.

Hey.

Can I have a drag?

-Got the groceries? -Yeah.

-Did you remember the milk? -Of course.

Did piano go well?

Sure did.

She's talented.

-Really? -She loves it. You should see her glow.

-Really? -It's beautiful to watch.

Really.

That's great.

Her teacher told me, she's got it.

Got it?

Got it, like...

-Like a gift. -Are you serious?

Where'd she get it from?

For her to progress, we have to buy a piano.

-A piano? -Yeah.

-You know how much they cost? -Some are cheap.

Even so, we're broke.

That's no reason to live like bums and ignore her dream.

You make me laugh.

You know we have lots of bills.

-Yeah. Medical insurance, for starters. -Who cares about insurance?

If they get sick, what do we do?

-They don't get sick. -Don't jinx us.

With a piano, she could live her dream and go to school in Paris.

It's what she wants.

-She has to work every day. -Yeah, I'm with you.

And I'm still boxing. I can pay.

-You know how many fights you've had? -Forty-five?

Forty-nine.

You always said you'd stop at 50.

Then what do we do?

Coming.

I have to get back.

-I don't want you to end up... -What?

Like they all do.

Later.

Hello, Hocine?

It's Steve.

How's it going?

I saw you were organizing an event soon.

I was wondering if you needed a middleweight.

Nothing?

If someone withdraws, let me know.

Okay, talk to you soon.

Right now I weigh 165. But I can bulk up.

You're sure?

Thanks.

I'm looking for a fight. Do you have anything?

Really?

See you soon maybe, then?

Bye.

That's it!

Very good.

Counter once, same arm.

Change.

Him?

-He's a real middleweight. -Too tall.

-Is he a light heavyweight? -He is.

Too tall.

It's down to them.

How about the white kid?

Can I talk to him?

Jérémy?

Over here.

-What's your record? -Ten fights.

-How many? -Ten.

-Wins? -Nine.

You weigh what, 163, 165?

One sixty-three.

-Are you up to sparring with M'Bareck? -You bet! I'd love to.

Thank you, sir.

-José has your number? -He does.

No promises, I'll call you. Get back to work.

Good deal.

Yeah, he'll do.

Hands up.

When you throw a jab...

Wait.

Jab again.

Jérémy.

Tell me something.

Who is that guy?

-A coach looking for sparring partners. -You talked?

I'm interested.

In sparring?

-Domingo, it's for Tarek M'Bareck. -Is that so?

-You know who he is? -Sure.

From TV, but do you know how he punches?

No, you don't know.

-I'll learn. -You won't.

You'll take hits and get treated like a dog.

Excuse me.

You're looking for sparring partners for Tarek M'Bareck?

Are you a lefty?

No.

-Forget it. -I can fake a southpaw.

-You're too old. Sorry. -I'm experienced.

What's your record?

Forty-nine fights: thirteen, three, thirty-three losses.

Take care, my friend.

-Who is he up against? -Marvin Mathis.

I know him.

-We all do. -I fought him eight years ago.

He was fresh out of amateur.

-Where? -Right here.

-Did you win? -Of course not.

But I know how he fights, how he punches.

What kind of partner are you after?

What are you, 163, 165?

Less, but I can bulk up.

-You'll have to take hits and suck it up. -That's me.

-José has your number? -Yeah.

No promises, I'll call you.

Want a drink?

-A Coke. -A Coke?

Little chicken!

He's as cute as a little chicken.

A little fried chicken.

Something to drink?

She said, my little shrimp!

What do you want?

-Whatever you like. -A Coke sounds good.

-And you, ma'am? -A Martini.

-White or red? -White.

Me, too. Two Martinis.

White.

So, what are we celebrating?

I signed with a big name.

-Really? -And it pays well.

You'll be getting your piano.

My piano? Piano!

-Are you happy? -Awesome!

-And the insurance. -Seriously? Both at the same time?

Yup.

-That's incredible, Steve. -It's awesome.

-Happy? -My own piano!

-To practice every day. -My own piano at home?

That's incredible.

Are you happy too?

You get your insurance.

You can get into trouble, break all your arms and legs.

What is it, a fight?

Not a fight, I'll be training Tarek M'Bareck.

He's a champion... You saw him on YouTube.

-Yeah, the one who's dating Ambre. -That's it.

The singer.

-Okay, I see. -I showed you the commercial.

It's great news.

It's with him?

-You're training him? -Yeah.

-You'll be his sparring partner? -Yeah, kind of.

Do I look stupid?

No, you don't look stupid.

You swore, you'd never do that.

It's very well paid.

I don't care.

You've always said, it's more dangerous than fighting.

What's a sparring partner?

A sparring partner, sweetie, is when a champion like Tarek

hires boxers like your dad

to beat the crap out of them... big-time.

-Don't exaggerate. -Isn't that right?

The champion prepares his fight...

and the others end up in a wheelchair.

-Is that true? -No.

You're scaring her for nothing.

-Isn't that right? -No, it's not.

You're exaggerating.

Is that true, Dad?

Of course not.

Then what did you tell me?

Don't argue.

Sparring is when a boxer needs to train, you train with him. It's not so...

Stop it, Steve. Stop.

If you end up like a vegetable,

don't count on me to be your nurse.

I won't end up like a vegetable.

Why are you saying that?

I won't end up like a vegetable.

Pass me the...

Your mother ticks me off. She really does.

Steve Landry.

Okay.

-Okay, sir. Do you know where it is? -No.

Through the casino, on the left.

-You'll see the theater. -Thank you.

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

-Here you are. -Thank you.

Excuse me?

-Hi. -How can I help you?

-I'm here for the sparring. -Great.

-Your name? -Steve.

Steve, down the stairs. I'll show you the changing room.

Okay.

Malik, Omar's assistant. The changing room's this way.

It's back there. Get ready, I'll meet you by the ring.

Thanks.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Steve. -Ali.

Nice to meet you.

Get dressed.

-Hey, guys. -How's it going?

Hi.

All settled in?

Like the place?

Terrific.

-There's a Jacuzzi, too. -We saw. Terrific.

Thank you. It's great.

Your face looks familiar.

Amateur champion, France, 2002.

-No? -No.

That's not it?

I have 30 some fights as a pro.

Twenty-two wins, one draw.

Seven losses. But out of those seven, I was robbed four times.

Oh, yeah?

I suppose you've been robbed, too?

-Me? -Yeah.

-I don't get robbed. -Is that so?

No. I knock out, or I get knocked out.

You'll have to show me later.

Excuse me, how old are you?

Forty-five.

What's your record?

Forty-nine matches,

thirteen wins, three draws, thirty-three losses.

Thirty-three losses?

Who told you to come here?

Your coach.

Okay, then.

See you in the ring.

Count on us to train you hard. You're gonna destroy Mathis.

Piece of cake, man!

-Ali, right? -Yeah.

Stop right there. Cake is for your kitchen.

-It's an expression. -Listen.

Otherwise, you can pack up and go.

No, I have to train. I don't have time. Everyone has to be on the same page.

-I didn't mean... -I'm just saying.

If it's that easy, pack up and go.

-No, I'm sorry... -I want things to be clear.

Okay, guys? Are we on the same page?

-Sorry, Tarek. -No problem. See you shortly.

Very good. Take control.

-Good! -That's it.

Good. Take control. That's it.

Take control. Bend your knees.

Again.

That's it. Counter.

That's it! Counter.

Take control.

That's what you're not doing. Front arm. Control.

Prepare, prepare.

Prepare your attacks.

Give him a harder time, please. Come on.

Time!

Come on, move in!

Move in more! Give him a hard time.

-Malik, warm up number three for me. -Okay.

Time!

Good. That's it. Thanks, Ali.

Watch your jaw, raise your hands.

Agility. That's your thing.

Dance, you're a dancer.

Dance.

-Let's go. Is he warmed up? -Yeah.

-Good to go. -Give him headgear.

Let's go.

Quickly now.

Go for his sides. Throw body punches.

Then step back, okay?

Come on, Ali. Quickly.

Ready, guys?

Okay, fight. Let's go.

Work your legs, Tarek. What is that?

That's it. Work your legs.

Bend. That's it. It's all in the legs.

It starts with the legs. You know that.

Come on, now, feint.

Change of rhythm.

Steve, go to work!

-Move around! -Very good!

Push those legs.

Steve, guard up!

-Move. -More pressure.

Push those legs.

Jab, jab, jab!

Poke, poke!

Keep it up!

More.

-More. That's good. -Move out.

That's it. Prepare.

Your guard.

Hey, guys?

Who is he?

Steve, get in the game.

He'll warm up.

-Was he on sale? -He'll warm up.

Okay, get back to it. I said, he'll warm up.

Come on, let's go.

Fight!

-Hands up! -That's illegal, champ!

What the hell?

Hands up!

Hands up! Hands up!

Keep your guard up, damn it!

Work your legs. That's it.

Good.

Upper body, work your upper body.

Yeah, work your slips.

Pressure him.

That's it. Jab!

Good, that's it.

Seriously?

Who is this guy?

-Come here. -No! Who is he?

Omar!

What is this?

I have a European championship.

You call this sparring?

-You want Mathis to win? -He'll warm up.

Steve, what's going on?

David!

Steve. Thank you.

-He's fine. -No, he's not fine at all. Thank you.

Hurry up, David.

Tarek's geared up.

Apply more pressure, damn it!

Don't hold back, pressure him.

You're giving him too much...

I don't care about him!

Let's go, David.

You're giving him too much space, get in close.

See you tomorrow.

You did good.

Nice pad.

No need to come back.

-I'll be fine tomorrow. -We stop here.

It won't work out.

Does this cover it?

-Ali, 3 p.m. tomorrow, please. -Yup.

-You gonna be okay? -Yeah.

-Can you drive? -Yeah.

Stop that.

You missed!

You missed!

That's gross.

Don't play with your food.

Steve, cut it out.

-Was Ambre there? -Ambre?

No, she wasn't.

Do you think she'll come?

I don't know. I guess.

-You'll tell me? -Eat.

-I will. -I am eating!

My friends will totally freak.

I'll take a selfish.

A "selfie."

-A selfie? -Yes.

Did you talk to him?

Tarek?

A little.

Is he a show-off?

No.

No, he's rather...

He's okay.

What did you talk about?

Nothing, boxing. What did you guys do?

It was a normal day.

-You don't seem very... -Very what?

Happy.

I am happy.

Is there dessert or something?

There's yogurt in the fridge. Nothing special.

I'm sick of yogurt. Get me a yogurt, will you?

What are you doing here?

Can I run with you?

What?

I need to talk to you.

What's on your mind?

This sparring is important for me... and my family.

Stop right there. I'm not running a charity.

I'm training for a European championship. It's serious.

It's my comeback. I don't have time for sob stories.

This fight is crucial, I need only the best.

I respect what you're saying. I understand.

What happened yesterday is that I was nervous.

It's my first sparring gig...

Get off it, man.

You weren't there.

I was nervous.

But you can count on me. I can take it.

Like a punching bag? I've got plenty at the gym.

I'm not a punching bag.

I'm not.

I'm a boxer. I take hits, but I'm not a punching bag.

-But I've got something you don't. -Oh, yeah?

I've been knocked out.

I went back in the ring.

And I can tell you...

you're scared.

You're not over your KO.

You're afraid of taking hits, and I'm telling you...

you'll see, there's a before and an after.

For all boxers.

Before the KO and after the KO.

You don't know who you're gonna be.

Don't worry about me.

I'm not worried.

I'm telling you. I've been watching you.

Go in the ring like that and Mathis will destroy you.

You'll dance a few rounds, then he'll corner you.

If you're scared, he'll break you in two.

Believe me, if you aren't over it...

you'll never be the champion you used to be.

Hey, kiddo. Off to your room.

-It rained yesterday. -So?

You were supposed to bring in the laundry.

Put your laundry in the garage, then...

What? My laundry?

You said, "my" laundry?

It's "our" laundry.

-Feel free to buy a dryer. -Stop nagging.

You think M'Bareck's wife nags him?

You think M'Bareck and his wife have dryer problems?

Besides, you're not M'Bareck.

I'm not M'Bareck?

Like this!

The other arm like that. Try hitting the champ.

Try hitting me.

-You can't. -Really?

Wanna try me?

You'll regret it.

What?

Nice one, look at you...

Look what I did to Daddy.

-That's your mother. -Sorry. Show me.

You're laughing, too?

After my shower, you're toast.

Excuse me, sir.

I think I saw you on Tarek M'Bareck's Facebook page.

-You're his sparring partner, right? -Yeah.

I knew it. I recognized you.

Mind if I take a picture?

-Not at all. -Thanks.

Sorry.

I wasn't sure...

I wasn't sure at first, but the black eye...

Thanks.

Cool. Not too tough?

No, it's...

-He hits hard, right? -Yeah, well...

And do you know Ambre?

She came to training once.

Insane.

If I come to the public training, you think I'll see her?

Maybe, yeah.

-You'll be there, too? -I think so.

Okay, okay.

Thanks a lot, I'll come by next week.

Thanks.

We need milk too.

Can I come to training?

What training?

That one.

That one there? No.

Why?

I already told you. You'll come to my last fight.

When's that?

I don't know. Soon.

Soon.

Seriously, it's a joke.

It's poetry.

You call that poetry?

You don't like poetry?

That's not poetry.

"We all have a ship in our hearts." It's beautiful.

Don't you have a ship in your heart, Steve?

Nope, not today.

That's too bad.

Work your legs, Tarek. What is that?

Stop, stop, stop. Don't stay in the center. Cut him off.

-Mathis likes to... -No.

Cut him off. Don't stay in the center. Cut him off and hit, okay?

Okay, let's see it.

Have fun.

The thing is...

as soon as he starts dancing, you try to land a punch, Steve.

Let him advance.

Keep your hands up.

And when he hits you, then you can punch him.

That's when you roll out three, four, five punches.

Then let him do his act. Let him dance.

I'm not used to guys who box like him.

See what I mean?

Usually, guys engage. He...

He does his combination, you counter, but he's gone.

Because he wants to frustrate you,

disorganize your boxing.

How? By dancing. And you get sucked in.

No, he's got it.

He's got what?

He's got it. He really sees what's going on. He sees.

You can, too, can't you?

I can't see a damn thing.

Steve, listen to me.

Take a fly.

A fly has eyes that aren't like ours.

It has big weird eyeballs.

What the fly sees isn't what we see, right?

Yeah.

For the fly, the world it sees through its weird eyes

is reality, is the truth.

Are you with me?

Yeah.

Okay.

Now us humans, with our eyes,

we see colors and more precise shapes.

And that's our reality.

Get it?

Yeah.

The fly says the same thing.

What does the fly say?

Think it over.

Think about the fly and you'll understand how you box.

Be quick.

That's it. The bag shouldn't move.

It's just a pop-pop. Like this, look.

No, not like that.

Samuel says to hit it gently, so the bag won't move.

-Okay. -Like this.

All right. Hey there. Aren't you saying hello?

-Hi. -What's that?

Nothing.

-What is that? -Nothing.

What happened?

Nothing.

What? Tell me. Did you get in a fight?

Tell me.

-What happened? -Someone insulted you at school.

-Who insulted me? -An eighth grader.

His dad saw you box and...

And what?

And what?

It's a bad word.

-What bad word? -You'll yell at me.

What bad word?

His dad said you box like a pussy.

Did he hit you first?

No.

You hit him first?

Aurore, you never hit first.

-He insulted you. -So, what?

You can't take an insult? Go to your room.

I won't teach you any more combos.

Clench your fist. Clench.

It's war. Look at those punches.

Right, left. That's real punching.

You see it there.

Every time he applies pressure,

he wins, because that's his signature.

Not yours. It's his signature. Look.

He's a hunter.

Exactly.

Exactly.

A hunter.

He hunts. He never stops.

-Until the guy drops. -Okay. Thanks, Ali. Thanks, Malik.

Tarek.

What's the lesson here?

-We have to change tactics. -Tactics. Tactics--

For this fight, more than any other, we won't win with this. We win with this.

We have to fight smart, Tarek. Very smart.

We go in 30 to 40 seconds per round, that's all.

Then pull away. Move around.

Circle around him.

Like a mosquito, drive him nuts.

Don't let him snooze off.

Frustrate him. Completely disorganize his boxing.

-Excuse me. Excuse me. -Take a walk.

You want to say something?

With all due respect, I think you're doing...

exactly the opposite of what's needed.

I beg your pardon?

Mathis...

He's methodical, he'll be expecting what you said.

He'll be expecting exactly that. It's what he does every time.

What he doesn't like...

is unpredictable boxers.

And you're unpredictable.

Let him do his thing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Out of 49 fights, how many did you win?

-Thirteen. -How many?

-Thirteen. -Thirteen, right.

I'm glad you have an opinion,

but save it for your pals at the pub.

-Got it. -Okay.

Tarek, back to work.

Hey, champ.

I need to change.

-What are you doing? -Sorry, I was trying...

Go ahead, show me.

-Who is that? -You.

Me? Guess who I am.

-Me? -Can't you tell?

Anyway... What about Mathis? Put the glove down.

I wanted to tell you that Omar is a good coach, not a great one.

Is that so?

He's asking you to focus on Mathis's mistakes...

but you need to focus on his habits.

And there's one thing he does every time.

When he gets in, he takes over the ring.

He gets in the center, calls it home and doesn't let anyone in.

If with every new round,

you take that position, let him circle and keep him out...

you break down his boxing.

Eight, nine, ten, eleven.

You have eleven A-pluses, Aurore? Eleven A-pluses.

What's that? A-plus?

-A-plus... -Eleven A-pluses.

-It's better than 20. -Like 20/20?

-Eleven 20/20s? -Yeah!

Really?

Where'd you pick that up?

Congratulations.

You're the first in the family to get so many...

-Did you get good grades in seventh grade? -I think so.

You didn't make it to seventh grade.

You said that if I got ten A-pluses, I'd get a present.

-I said that? -Yeah.

All right, then. Something inexpensive.

It's free.

Okay, you name it.

-Anything I want? -You name it.

Can I go to your training fight?

-My what? -The public training.

No, that's impossible.

Why?

Anything else, but not that.

-Come on, Steve. -No.

It's all "excellent," "well done." If it makes her happy.

No, I told you, no fights...

But why?

-You said anything. It's not fair. -Yeah, but not that.

I told you before. Not the fights.

I just don't want you to come.

Ask for anything else. A bike, a Barbie?

-Why? -Because...

-Because what? -Because I said no.

Come on.

-Not you, too? -Yes.

-It's just training. -Okay, I've heard enough.

You said anything!

-Why promise her stuff, then? -Enjoy your meal.

Too bad.

Let's go, Tarek!

Where's he at?

There he is!

Go, champ!

Tarek, where's Ambre?

-Who you here for? -Both of you, but she's pretty.

There's the champ!

Show us some boxing!

You wanna see some boxing?

-Give us the noble art! -Beautiful boxing!

You're gonna get it.

Who do I start with?

-Okay, champ. Make it snappy. -Pick the best one!

Look at me.

He's it.

Give him a hand!

Take it easy on him!

Easy! That's it.

Keep moving.

Go to work on him, Ali! Go to work!

Get in there!

Back him into the ropes.

That's it. Explosive leg work.

You're the boss!

Time!

Time! Time!

Time!

This Saturday, you're taking Mathis down!

Looking good.

Go ahead and have fun.

Don't give it away. Mathis' people are here.

So, have fun.

Are your legs still under you?

Yeah.

No, okay. Hop out.

We're changing.

Who do you want?

-Who? -Hey, Steve!

-Steve. -Hurry up.

Get a move on.

Before he gets cold.

Get a move on!

Next victim!

Work your combinations.

Piece of cake!

Make some noise!

That's for you, champ. All for you.

Tarek! Tarek! Tarek!

I want explosive leg work.

Work your jab. On him, work your jab.

Ready, champ?

Wait a minute!

Wait!

His name's Steve.

He's a good boxer. Brave.

Tough luck!

You know what my edge is on him? I don't need headgear.

No way, Tarek.

You know why? Because he can't hurt me.

-You can't do this. -Don't worry.

It's in four days.

-What if you're injured? -Why are you doing this?

-It's pointless. -Trust me.

-Keep the advantage with this crowd. -I got this.

Take it easy on him!

Wait!

How long before he hits me?

Ten rounds!

Come on, champ. Get to work.

I'll try one, to start. One round.

Come on, Steve. Try your luck.

Get ready.

Fight!

We want style, Tarek!

Play with him!

That's it, have fun!

Cat and mouse! Come on!

Good. Circle. That's good, champ.

Explosive on the legs.

Concentrate, champ. Work.

Take out gramps!

Knock him out!

You call that boxing? Show me how they box in Le Havre?

Come on, Steve!

Go to work!

Show us how it's done in Le Havre!

Let go... Let go...

I'm right here.

Come on!

Bring it on!

I'm right here.

Encourage him!

Stay focused!

Guard up, that's it!

Kill him!

Come on, Steve!

Are you the real deal? Show us!

Show them.

It's now!

Show them now!

Harder!

Like that!

Steve, harder!

Control!

Tarek, where'd you find him?

That's not boxing!

The guy's useless!

Useless!

Destroy him!

Come on, finish him off!

Finish him off!

Stay focused.

-Counter! -Let's go.

Ten seconds!

Come on! Is that all you got?

Time! Time! Time!

-Don't you have the keys? -No.

-I didn't give them to you? -No.

Hey, Steve.

Over here.

Have a seat.

You okay?

-Yeah, I'm good. -Want something to drink?

No, thanks.

No more bets.

I'm sorry about the other day.

It was for show. That's what people like.

No hard feelings?

We're good. No worries.

Wanna play?

No, thanks.

Come on.

Five hundred on black.

Place your bets.

You're a brave man.

When was your last win?

-Three years ago. -Three years!

I would have quit already.

I like it.

You like taking hits?

No...

No, I'd rather not, but we don't have your talent.

Besides...

having guys like you takes guys like me.

Yeah.

I've got a surprise for you.

How'd you like to box in Saturday night's opening fight?

A guy got hurt.

-This Saturday? -Yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks.

You're welcome. You deserve it.

Wanna play?

-No, thanks. -Go on.

No, really. Thanks.

Thirty-two red, even, high. No winner.

See you soon?

Don't forget: take the center and watch his right hand.

Don't forget to win.

Glass of port?

No, thank you.

-Jeez... -Let me...

Got it.

You don't look so bad.

How's the head?

Not too bad.

Sometimes I forget stuff.

Who doesn't?

Here.

Thanks.

When's the fight?

-Saturday. -This Saturday?

That leaves no time.

What am I supposed to do in three days?

I started with you, I wanted to finish with you.

You have to win this one, sonny.

You win your last fight. No choice.

I know.

And my daughter will be there.

So, tell me, you were more of...

a stylist, weren't you?

-No. -A puncher?

No.

So, what's your style?

I'm a good chin.

That's not a style.

That's how I...

It's my style.

I have a surprise.

What is it?

Saturday, you're going to bed late.

-Why? -Guess.

I don't know. Come on, tell me.

We're...

-going to the movies? -No.

Having pizza?

-Having pizza. -No.

I'm fighting my last fight on Saturday. You can come.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

I don't want to go.

Because of last time?

-No, I don't care about that. -So, what's the problem?

What's the problem?

When people look at you, they're happy you're getting hurt.

That doesn't matter.

It matters to me!

You're my dad, I don't want...

Hurry up.

What's the rush?

Please, Mr. Jean.

Give me the gloves.

These.

Okay.

See you later.

You idiot. One day, I'll...

-How you feeling? -She didn't come?

No. My mother's babysitting.

Come on, you can't smoke here.

I'm proud of you.

Proud of what?

Proud of you.

Aurore and Oscar are too. We're super proud of you.

But tonight, my love, do me a favor.

Fuck him up.

Promise?

Is that your style? Brawling?

Take a good look around, it's the last time you see all of this.

Tonight, you die a little. You understand?

So, show me who you wanted to be.

The one you could have been, if someone had believed in you.

Let's hear it for the sixth and final round.

Come on, Steve!

Come on, Steve! That's it!

Yeah, that's it!

What's he doing?

Come on, Steve!

He's dancing. Dance, Steve, baby! Dance!

And it's the end of the final round!

I think these two deserve more applause for giving it their all.

Let's take off the gloves, please.

And let's hear a special round of applause

for the red corner,

fighting today his 50th and final fight,

Steve Landry!

Shake hands.

You're the best!

Attention, ladies and gentlemen,

the winner...

by split decision...

You did good, Steve. Red!
