A Fighting Man Page #6

I'm done with you all!

I'm out of here.

Let's pray.

Father in heaven, please protect

Brother Sailor tonight.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Amen. And protect Brother

King tonight, as well.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Hold on for a second.

Hey.

Everything's gonna be okay.

We're a family.

You go, baby boy.

You got this fight. You've won it.

You've won the fight, man.

Don't do anything stupid.

Gotta knock him down.

All right. If you want

to knock him down,

you work on his body.

God knows what his head is made

of, but it sure ain't skin and bone.

Gotta knock him down.

You kill the body

and the head dies.

You hear me? Kill the body

and the head will die.

All right.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

It's time, kid.

Hey, hey.

I want you to know that I'm proud

of what you've become, boy.

Okay, let's go, guys.

Sailor.

That's enough, bud. That's

enough, that's enough.

You're getting schooled, Sailor!

Get outside that left foot!

Outside the left foot!

Put him in the hospital, King!

Put him down!

Break it up, guys. Come on.

- Hey!

- Sailor, I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

- Back to your corner, let's go.

Hey, you okay?

I shat myself.

All right, Sailor,

stay standing. I got it.

Hey, hey, clean towels, now.

Hey, look. He lost his mud.

The Sailor lost his mud, man.

The Sailor's gonna go down.

For the first time in history,

that Sailor's gonna go down.

Now is your shot, man.

Now is your shot.

You go get him. Get on him.

- This is your shot. For life.

- Shut up!

You're doing good, buddy.

It's all over, okay?

- One more.

- It's all over.

- One more round.

- Your kidneys are gone.

What is the matter with you? What

are you, nuts? What's the point?

You couldn't beat this guy

with a baseball bat, okay?

You got another L in

the column. Big deal.

You're still standing, right? You

never been down. What is the point?

I swore on my ma's head I

would never quit, Mikey.

- I promised.

- You're good to go, Sailor.

We'll let the doc decide. You sit.

Hey, Gordy, you bring

the doc, please?

Look at me.

Sailor.

- Sailor, look at me. You okay?

- I'm good, doc.

You're taking too many

shots. I'm gonna stop it.

One more round, doc,

please. One more round.

Albright, what do you think?

I got no opinion.

Last round, doc,

last round, please.

I hope I don't hate

myself later for this.

- You won't.

- Ref, watch him close.

- Knock him on his butt!

- Shut up!

- You gonna be famous, man.

- Shut up!

- What do you mean, shut up?

- Shut up!

This is your turn, man.

I don't care what you say,

you get your butt up there

and put the Sailor down!

All right, Sailor. All right.

I'm gonna be okay, Mike.

I promise.

I promise. I love you.

Last round! Last round.

- Come on.

- Come on, guys.

- Seconds out.

- Let's go home!

Get outside that left foot.

Use your jab, use your jab!

Last round, guys, let's go. Box!

Come on, old man!

One punch, Sailor!

Come on, bud, one punch!

Quick on your feet, Sailor!

Stay on his right shoulder!

Stay on his right shoulder!

You're getting schooled, Sailor!

Break it up.

Break it up, boy! Break it up!

- Double that up, baby.

- Get away from him.

Sailor, grab him! Grab him!

Give me the towel.

Put him down! Put him down!

Oh!

Do it, kid. Do it.

Oh!

Okay, let's go.

Take the old man out, King!

Let him go, King.

Let him go, man.

Ref, leave him alone!

Leave him alone!

- I got you.

- He's taking him to the bell.

We got this.

Let him go. Drop him.

Ladies and gentlemen!

It's a unanimous decision.

The winner is King Soloman!

I'm proud of you. Good fight.

You're a good kid.

You know what? You're the

toughest son of a b*tch I know.

Thank you.

Yeah, you're also the dumbest

son of a b*tch I know.

Go see your girl.

I love you.

The...

The best we can do...

is to forgive ourselves.

Diane.

You're not alone.
