Against the Ropes Page #9
where a fight's gotta start, understand?
He hits you low, hit him back.
Get rough with him.
Deep breath.
If you use your skill,
you can beat this boy.
Just give yourself
some punching room, now.
Stand up off him
and box the damn man.
Box him. Use your skill.
Now, come on.
Get up, get up.
There's the bell for round two.
Hernandez applies pressure,
now from behind the jab.
Somebody's opened a can of
Puerto Rican whup-ass out here.
Hernandez is just mauling
him out there.
And now Hernandez
is taunting Shaw.
Come on, Pedro!
Come on! Break!
What the...?
You know something?
If he continues this, he's gonna
lose his title on disqualification.
This could get ugly real fast.
I'm telling you now.
Pedro Hernandez is
very heavy-handed.
He has knockout power
and slow fists.
- Keep them up!
- Yeah, baby!
That's the way to make a hit!
That's it!
Go right back at him!
Get up!
Go on, there, Pedro!
Neutral corner!
One, two...
- Get up, come on!
...three!
- Pedro! Pedro! Pedro!
- Four, five, six...
- You OK, Luther?
- Yeah.
- Where are you?
- Cleveland Coliseum.
- What round is it?
- Second.
- The towel's coming out.
- I don't think he'll make this round.
- OK, let's go.
- Hernandez is a great finisher.
Shaw's on rubber legs...
- Hernandez is back at him again!
- Don't.
Can he go for five rounds
of that?
Break, break! Come on, guys!
Break, listen to me here!
Look at that! Shaw comes back
and lands a combination!
Luther Shaw's doing tremendous
harm. And a big left hand!
Head-butt.
The head-butt, Dougie!
Come on, now!
Watch the head.
- You OK, Luther?
- Yeah.
OK, let's go.
Come on!
Want some of this?
Send him back to the ghetto!
There's the bell to end round two.
An unbelievable rout.
Four fouls from Hernandez,
and no point deducted.
Who paid for your
vacation break?
I don't believe this. Jackie Kallen
just entered the ring.
- What the...?
- Damn it, back him up!
- Don't let him back you up.
- Let me talk.
- I'll be damned.
- Luther, I've got one minute.
I'm sorry. I screwed up.
I screwed up bigtime.
But you have got to get up.
You can do this. You can handle it.
You are in shape.
You can go 12 rounds.
You are a champion, damn it.
Hernandez is fighting dirty
because he knows
that's the only way he can beat you.
Listen to me. Listen.
You have a chance
to make boxing history tonight.
You have potential for
that kind of greatness.
You don't need me.
You already have it.
Always did.
Seconds!
I want you to get in there,
and you knock this guy's ass
off the champ map.
Come on, Luther. Come on.
Back him up. Back him up.
Switch up on him.
Go right-handed.
Nail his ass when he's charging in.
Now go handle your business.
The Middleweight Championship
of the World, baby. Come on!
What do you think about
everything tonight?
As we get set for round three,
Hernandez rushes out!
He's on fire again!
Shaw is moving a little better,
swinging out of the corner.
Whatever Kallen said to him
woke him up.
- He's pumping that jab now too.
- Double that jab up, baby!
What the hell is he waiting for?
Come on! Come on!
Come on, fight!
Come on, fight me!
- Power box his ass!
- What's he waiting for? Come on!
Shaw is not fighting Pedro's fight.
Hernandez is physically enraged!
- Yes!
- A big right hand by Shaw!
And back comes Hernandez!
They're throwing nuclear
weapons in there!
Beautiful shot! Yes!
Hey, quick! Get out of there!
That last body shot inside
wobbled Hernandez.
- I think he's cut!
- Break! Come on, guys!
Break. No holding!
Hernandez's trying to jab
his way in,
but there's nothing on those punches!
Break! Break!
A little bit the tables have turned!
Dancing Shaw is the bully now!
Switch up on him, Luther!
Take it to him now, Luther!
Shaw switches from southpaw
You got him!
You got him!
Go!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- He's cut, he's cut, he's cut!
- Come on!
Come on!
Break! Break!
- Break clean!
- Let me see, Pedro.
- Let me see!
- No, no.
- I'm all right.
- Let me look.
- That's a bad cut.
- You got him!
- No, no, no. Come on!
- He's gonna let it continue.
Hernandez still wants to fight,
but he is doing the same exact move.
And Hernandez moves!
He's out on his feet!
Yes!
- Yes, yes!
- One, two...
- Get up!
- Get up! Come on!
Yes!
Oh, my God!
I told you! I told you!
I told you!
Luther! Luther! Luther!
What? What?
Let's take him home!
Jackie!
Jackie! Jackie!
Where she at? Where's Jackie?
Jackie!
Jackie! Jackie!
Jackie!
Luther! Luther! Luther!
Hey, Felix. Always good
to see you, my friend.
And a guest.
Hey, Felix.
