- That's right, Charlie. Not yet.

Nitrous pistons, now!

He's not going to last much longer!

- Fight back!

- Not yet.

Hang in there!

Atom is riddled with the nitrous-fueled

Gatling guns of Zeus's blows!

Atom! Atom! Atom! Atom!

Wait him out, wait him out! Not yet!

Zeus is slowing down!

The champ's power core

is clearly depleted.

Charlie, please!

Hey, kid.

- Now.

- Now!

Get in there!

Knock that little b*tch! Bust him open!

Yeah! That's right!

Do something!

Move!

Override. Switching to manual.

In a shocking move, Tak Mashido is

manually operating his robot personally!

- Work the body! Get inside him!

- Get him, Atom!

Look at this! The champ is trying

desperately to stay on his feet,

but Kenton is relentless, landing

blow after blow after blow to the body!

Left! Right! Left! Right!

A huge uppercut by Atom! Zeus is down!

This little bot has

dug deep here tonight

and shown something damn near heart!

One, two, three,

four, five, six, seven...

He's good!

Zeus gets to his feet,

but Kenton has Atom on him again,

landing punch after punch!

Tak Mashido and his super bot

have no answer.

Zeus pins Atom's left arm,

but Kenton is undaunted!

It all comes down to this, folks!

Drop him, Charlie! Now!

- Kenton is about to drop the champ...

- No! There's the bell!

Zeus is saved by the bell!

Amazingly, we will go

to the judges' cards!

Ladies and gentlemen,

after five rounds,

we go to the judges' scorecards.

Judge Number One scores the fight 47-48.

Judge Number Two scores the fight 48-46.

And Judge Number Three

scores the fight 47-46,

for the winner

and still World Robot Boxing champion,

Zeus!

Farra Lemkova,

you got way more

than you bargained for tonight.

Some would say that your bot

won the decision but lost the fight.

She looks pissed.

It took a little longer

than we thought,

but the result is as expected.

We won. Zeus is still undefeated.

Any comment on the absolutely

humiliating near loss

your bot suffered tonight?

- Nothing.

- No comment.

Max. Where's Max?

There he is. Max.

They're already calling your bot

"the people's champion."

What do you say to that?

People's champion?

Sounds pretty good to me.

Dad? Dad!

Dad!

I really want you to know...

No, I need you to know.

Don't worry.

Your secret's safe with me.

Wait here. Wait here.

Yes!
