Yeah, something against music.

Maybe I'll do.

You always this pissed off when I'm trying to study.

Now I know why you're here.

I'm here because.

I've got unrealized potential.

That's according to my old man, he said.

Don't come home until you start realising it.

It's called Challenged daughter game.

What you say?

Yes, I'll just hit the chow hall.

Alone.

Now you tell them.

He probably just left them in the locker room, no?

It's about a stone.

And come down there.

Look, why don't we just report it to the office right after we OK?

You got me to think for those brownies.

Why is it I don't see no economy?

Yeah, well, they realised I'm a wish with numbers,

so they got me checking over the order

for the whole cafeteria.

Well, I spotted something.

A unit of brownies cost less than a unit of beans.

So would someone.

So I switched a few numbers on the weekly warning sheet

and under my new cost cutting

plans we got a whole lot more brownies.

In a whole lot less gas.

Yeah.

What?

Ohh yeah.

Give it up.

What do you think you're doing?

Stop

going out of here.

Get out.

Where do you think you're going?

Is that your hard work?

Let's walk and talk.

Mr.

Brooks, that was federal property you destroyed back there.

Now I only got 2 choices and I send you to prison.

I send you home.

That boy stole my shoes.

My Mama working hard to give me those.

There's all, every don't have any rage.

Good call.

In the time you've been here.

You pushed out three corpsmen.

And one innocent door disrespected me.

The door too.

You got money for a bus ticket?

No.

You.

Like a home, Mr Ross.

A kid.

This place.

He sold the hair.

Please.

You have a box.

G Street Fights.

Talking about boxing, not fighting.

It's a sport.

Rules.

I heard it on the radio.

A teacher.

You're big enough and ugly enough.

We'll learn it.

Yes, Sir.

Don't make me regret this.

Good.

This is Rose.

He's going to be your opponent today.

Don't worry, big man.

I'll be gentle.

That's just a sign of sportsmanship before you fight.

To show that you're not here to kill each other,

you're just two athletes trying to find

out who's best at the sport.

So to do that.

Boxes to the gloves like this.

All right, let's go.

Let's get on up there.

Let me see what you got.

I see time.

Come on, fight.

When action, action.

Jacks.

Come on.

This thing.

It is George.

We think, George, you said there like a statue and the picture

is going to crap on you.

Get up.

Yep.

So.

I know that's not what you want, your son.

That's a good thing too,

because I would want no sort of mind calling it look,

but he

just got wicked fair and square.

They are laughing at me.

Because of you, when you care

about what they think.

Six months ago was didn't know any more than you knew.

That's all.

And teach you to.

You got a punch.

That's just about all you got.

There you go.

Trying to get you a jab.

We got to get you some footwork.

We're going to start out with a punch

right

door points.

Yeah.

The mind controls the body, not the other way around.

Every battle.

The greatest vote that we will come back.

Isn't here.

Are you making fun of Royce?

He was dancing on the ring, weren't you?

He was showing off.

You know what?

You're trying to force you to go where he needed you to go

so he could deliver that punch

he was setting up.

And he was studying the ring, too.

Saw spots.

The loose boards.

Not just about punching George.

It's about banking.

Right.

Step forward and love food.

Now slide that right foot.

That's really it off to the side.

Back.

You go.

Therefore.

Go back.

Still love?

They're right.

Come on.

OK.

Yeah.

Sir.

Boy, George is on the phone, said my brother.

Yes, everybody's here.

Hey, hey.

Yeah, we miss you.

Well, how were you setting the world on fire?

They raised me 205 cents an hour at work.

Far out.

That way, Ohh.

No, that's just something to say out here in California.

You can't come back to Texas something like that.

Ohh.

Going to the gym a lot.

Basketball.

No, I found something better.

Learning how to box.

Please don't tell me.

Fine again.

Ohh, I'm not fighting.

And what do you call it, George?

It's boxing.

It's a spot with rules and I'm good at it.

God knows I don't want you to be fine.

God, what's God got to do with anything, man?

Don't tell me you don't go so far from home.

You don't know what God's got to do with your life.

Mama.

I'm just trying to be Mum, Mama.

George $0.10.

Alright.

Got it.

Could.

Comma.

Yeah.

My bunk me.

I may be a little late tonight, I know.

I will try.

My wife thinks I give up too much time to this place.

You boxed.

We're professional.

Well, my first 24 fights.

They were unfortunately at the trade 1U for another.

Hey, I see you reading the boxing news.

Yeah, you know, fishing nado.

Now, I was looking at Joe Frazier.

Yeah, he's real good.

I wouldn't mind all this he's got.

I want to be the heavyweight champion of the world.

Slow down, George.

Slow down.

I can't slow down.

I gotta speed up.

And you said you can get me some fights.

I can and I will.

OK, well, first going to win some tournaments,

then we could take aim at the Golden Globes

and after that we could set our sights on the Olympics.

When are they?

Makes some of Mexico City, but.

We will wait for the one after that.

That gives you five years to train and develop.

Five years.

I'll be old man.

Listen to me, George.

You gotta punch like I've never seen,

But even if you train harder than any man has ever

trained, there is no way that you can make it

to the Olympics next year.

3.

One for the US.

The questions?

Has won 200 refund.

America.

George Foreman has been fighting for only one year.

He would seem to have no chance at winning gold on.

I don't think anyone has ever seen a bigger mismatch

in the Olympic reef.

What Forward is being asked to do today is impossible.

The big question Setting the tone early,

giving the young rookie of boxing.

Think.

From George Foreman.

For fighting Corbyn,

he's turning the tables on to hold

all the pouring it on him landing bomb

to Pullman Looks like he's in really bad shape.

Wow.

Stop the light.

OK, thank you.

Little George Foreman has won the gold medal in a stunning upset.

Do you want to go back?

God.

Hey.

Hey, what's going on?

I guess.

810.

Hey brother, what's going on So.

Hey.

Ohh, you can go ahead and touch it, man.

It's heavy though.

Yeah, I bet it's heavy.

All right.

What's that post mean?

I don't see how you got hold that American flag all up high

like you do now brothers,

shoot our brothers.

It was it was doing anything with them.

He was standing up for all of us back here.

And what were you doing standing up for a country that don't love you back?

That's heavy.

You gotta let this go.

If anybody ever talked me about that flag again,

they're not going to get away with it.

They acting like I'm some kind of sellout.

Let me make you something.

Anything you want.

Not hungry.

Let the Lord take me now.

I never thought I'd hear that from you.

You left here with nothing to your name.

And you came back with gold.

Then how come all anybody want to talk about is the flag?

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to win the championship belt.

And they respect me,

Then you're going to keep fighting.

You.

You, you go get hurt.

Didn't you watch me?

They don't hurt me.

You're damn and that's all you want to do with your life.

Hurt people.

You are better than this.

I've got a plan.

Well.

None need you to believe in it.

Whatever it is.

I heard he's not so bad.

Right on.

You are.

Paula.

That's me that's meeting you, George.

That's not fair.

You live in Oakland.

Yes, I do.

That means you'll be coming back.

I'm moving him.

I won't be training but.

And if not, you know,

I go outside sometimes your footwork is better than you.

Pick up King George.

I can't argue that.

Tell me something about yourself.

Anything.

Anything.

I can type 100 words a minute.

I can't even talk that fast.

Can I see you again?

Go ahead and write your phone number down.

I'm the one supposed to be asking for Yard George.

Do I look like the kind of woman that stands around by the phone?

Ohh man, you do that?

Well, hold on.

Are you sure we need these guys?

Pro?

Games are racket.

These guys are taking pro.

We need to go.

I'm sure, Melanie.

Some new blood.

New blood.

Think sadly you're gonna be a trainer and you're promoter.

Got you more.

Former light heavyweight champion of the world

and he could teach you everyday.

They didn't learn if I like what I see.

Sunny.

Man.

Hey, this is a list.

We make champions right here, son.

But you're setting out to do is beyond your imagination.

Good morning.

You wake up, the fight for that championship AT is different.

The sun looked different.

And only two men on this whole earth matter.

And you're one of them.

The other, if you make it that far, is Joe Frazier.

You're going name this bag Joe Frazier.

Minnesota plexus.

You're going to cut off his breathing.

You hit him in the chin.

You're going to rattle his nerves.

You hit him in the heart.

You're going to make his heart beat stiff every punch.

George Power.

Hello, First ring, Pauline.

Yes, I want to hear the rest of that story you were starting to tell me.

Love story?

About how you can type 100 words a minute.

That story, George,

when are you going to ask me a real question?

Like what?

Like

if I want to go out on a date.

Right.

Louder.

You show you type a real word and that's saying like you.

Over there.

Higher,

higher.

Bad.

Bad.

Over.

The Winner by TKO.

Do you take this woman to be your wife?

Will you bit out do?

You may kiss the bride.

Watch this.

I think you ready?

Let's push, Big Brother.

But you won't know what hit.

Here we are for the heavyweight championship

fight between Joe Frazier and George Moore.

Joe Frazier is the heavy favourite tonight.

His best weapon, the left hook is deadly.

Put Ali on the canvas two years ago

and informing isn't aware of it.

It could put him on his back

and maybe even carrying out of the arena on a stretcher.

This contest is for the heavyweight championship of the world.

It's covered by the previous board control,

nobody giving you a chance to win tonight.

That's cool.

Spoken Julian Knight, The Others.

He's a real deal.

Remember.

Ordered two men on his overhead matter.

And go get him.

You ready, George?

A joke.

He's expecting that you're just a man.

But tonight, you're a beast.

Put him out.

And there's the battle.

They're underway.

Ohh big swing in the miss from George.

Here's that Joe Frazier left Hook.

One more of those could end.

Watch out for that.

Watch out for that.

Big shot by German.

Ohh, wasn't another look.

How was this built in?

Raise is taking some damage, a real surprise.

That's it.

Goes straight down, goes Frazier.

Go slow to get up.

And George?

Poisonous can be.

What the heavyweight trim is taking the 8 count?

It's the belt for the second round.

Joey's game.

Informing us all over him again.

It's hitting him again and again.

Ohh, he's down again.

This is hard to believe.

Hey.

Fucking breakfast for George?

Correct.

How much walking?

Now down again.

And it's.

I've never seen anything like this.

Short.

With the new heavyweight champion of the world.

How does it feel to be a winner?

But I was the chairman of become a winner tonight.

You know that thing press all over the country

for writing some of them beautiful things

about me.

Chris is giving my name in the paper and.

And getting focus.

So what's the first thing you're going to do as a champion judge?

Well, by my, my, my big house.

OK.

Yeah.

What is this?

And that the truth is that the chair?

Ohh wait.

You have any idea what's coming next, George?

A flood of money?

Well, I'm always ready for money for my money, man.

You want me to be your money, man?

Yeah.

Dead man.

And I'm going to shop now on.

That's what I'm talking about.

It's a long way from the job.

Below.

And you feel real?

Come on.

To the place where.

That's all.

How'd you get up here?

Don't be afraid.

You don't want me to stay?

Come on.

Your mind.

Some of your own.

Come on.

Mom, there are a lot of people saying

they've never seen as formidable A puncher as the

new champ, young George Foreman, Howard.

When I think of George Foreman,

I think of the establishment,

the flag waiver.

And I got a new punch for George Howard.

And I call it the ghetto whopper.

And the reason I call it the ghetto waffle

is because it's thrown in the ghetto at 3:00

o'clock in the morning.

You ever seen one of them punches?

Howard comes out of nowhere and hits you like a bottle in the air.

And you think you'd have to wait till 3:00 o'clock

in the morning

to fight George Foreman?

Howard, let it be known I will fight George Foreman anywhere, anytime.

Josh, thanks right.

Come on, I want to show you all.

Now hit in

Each car has its own personality.

That's why you need five of them.

Five, please.

You see my roll?

You know, so dog.

All right.

You got that other one there soon, OK.

Don't be all day for y'all, my whole BBQ sauce

took the time, OK?

Ohh Lee.

Yeah, she yeah, yeah.

Give me my birthday, baby.

Yeah.

Yeah,

happy birthday.

How about one for your wife too?

All right.

Say hi to everybody.

Say hi to everybody.

Happy birthday for you.

OK, Love you.

All right.

Tammy.

You know that unless thank God, would have Food First, show God.

About the food.

Not God

Good.

Didn't you say Greggs?

I like the way you see it, Mama.

Me and Charles have something we want to tell y'all.

We're having a baby.

A baby.

No.

Yeah, Mary gave graduations.

Thank you.

Great.

Thank you.

Having another niece and nephew going around here?

Hello.

Stop calling this House.

So then, yes Sir, How's my money doing?

I'm pouring everything into rock solid stocks.

I like the sound of that.

Rock solid stocks.

We know Ali Shaw been talking a whole bunch of mess on TV bragging

about which round

he going to knock you out in.

Talk is cheap.

You know what they say about pretty boys back in the 5th Walls?

You can't take a punch.

Yeah.

Yes.

I think everybody's ready for dessert.

You should just tell me their name

so I don't have to stand there holding the phone like

a fool.

What are you talking about?

Did you think I didn't know?

I don't have time for this right now.

It's me you don't have time for.

How many?

Have there been?

George.

You can't even look me in the eye anymore, woman.

I got a $5 million fight coming up against Haley.

You think I dropped my life for you so that I could play seconds?

I was doing just fine before you came along.

So you don't like this life now, huh?

I give you everything.

I don't want everything.

I want you.

You have me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Just like I thought.

Cool.

Down.

Like a butterfly sting like a bee.

His hands can't hit with his eyes can't see.

Now you see me now you don't.

George thinks he will, but I know he won't.

Ain't that right, buddy?

Him hitting Joe Fraser,

These big long punches boxes like a mummy.

Where you get ohh, you're over here.

Oh oh all of you sports writers,

all of you suckers are going to regret making me the

underdog.

How are you going to make me the underdog?

Talking about George Foreman is the new champ.

George Foreman ain't no new champ.

He is the new Trump

and he's holding the belt that was wrongfully

taken from him and he came box.

He moves like this.

That's how he boxed, boxed like a mother

coming here for you.

George.

We were just talking about a different fight.

Your turn, Big George.

Won't you give us your side of things, huh?

We have a few boxes how he does interviews.

It's going to be a short night.

Tonight we gonna get it on because we don't get on.

I feel sorry for Ollie.

Former could put him in the morgue.

I'll be killing.

That's what they want.

Former.

Ohh my.

Yeah.

Wrestling like attack shut him up.

The good Ali has shocked the world before,

but most of us don't expect him to get past

the middle rounds.

Well, Frank Ali is certainly the big underdog,

but he and the country have adopted the

phrase I'll leave Cumbaya Ali.

Killed.

Yeah, 32 years of age.

Could Muhammad Ali dance and stay away from forming?

After what Foreman did to Frazier Ali

would seem to have no chance.

All questions will be answered.

Well, you did.

Who are you?

Right.

Thank you.

That's all you got, George.

Come on.

Power.

Campaign.

I don't see any place to hide in that ring.

Get off of those ropes.

Or another punches.

Just got to do some damage.

They told me it was Bad John.

Let me see.

Ollie cannot keep taking them and expect.

Come on, show me some.

Why would that sucker?

There we go.

Here it is.

Pick it up.

What's my name?

I'm not sure about this strategy of retreating from the rules.

All right back to the rope.

Come on, put that pressure on those jobs.

He's getting pounded.

Those blows are deadly from George.

Come on, let me see.

Come on, you want?

They told me you could hit.

There you go.

That's all you got?

Big right hand from all these that butt staggered foreman.

They told me it was bad George.

They told me you was bad.

That one punch definitely changed the tenor of this fight.

And pig.

No.

A moment.

I'm already.

Performance punches just don't have any juice on them.

Forman looks tired.

He could be in real big trouble.

Maybe this is what Holly was counting on, Frank.
