There you go.
He's a f***in' monster.
- That sh*t is called...
- It's like... It's like...
Well, why you tryin'
to be Puerto Rican, though?
He smells like the shelter!
Shut the f*** up.
You go back to the f***in' shelter.
You smell like the f***in'
third floor of the shelter.
Yeah, we back. We back
in the dressing room now, yeah.
The Commission in here, they... wrap...
watching 'em wrap Billy hands.
Yeah, it's all right.
Yeah, but once he gets
in the inside, it's over.
I make that step, it's over.
Yeah. I'll text you
as soon as he's done, okay?
Yeah. I love you, too.
Hi, J.
Okay. Yeah, do your homework.
Hey, y'all give him a minute.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Mo. What's up?
- What's up?
- It's all good.
Yeah, let's get out.
Hey...
- Mmm-hmm.
- Mmm-hmm.
You're ready.
Don't get hit too much.
to the body and the head,
as he continues putting distance
between himself and Billy Hope
on the scorecards.
and he's killing Billy
with just his left hand.
Jones, a longer, quicker fighter,
has appeared to win most of the rounds
to this point in the fight.
Keep them hands up! Protect that eye!
Let's go, chief! Come on, move!
There you go!
as Hope lands a right and a left.
Okay, here we go, here we go.
Good body shots by Hope.
- Dance with me, b*tch.
- Let him go.
There he goes again
with that attitude, Jim. He never stops.
It's another frustrating round for Hope.
He all right. He ain't hurt him.
It's give and take,
ebb and flow, here in this fight...
Come on, Billy, take the sh*t back!
with another uppercut.
Whoa, good uppercut.
And now Jones again going to the body.
Come on, baby, get off those ropes!
Trying to set up the finish
as he drives Hope
back into the ropes again.
I got you, man. I got you.
That's all you got?
That's all you got, huh?
Watching, close to Hope's corner,
his beautiful wife, Maureen,
herself a product
of a Hell's Kitchen orphanage.
How's the eye?
Take many more, it's gonna flow.
Yeah, just fix the f***in' eye.
State Commission doctor
taking a good look
at Hope's left eye in the corner.
But, the fight will continue.
We've seen Billy Hope
win fights in the past
looking even more the worse
for wear than is the case here.
Nothing has changed tonight.
Seated at ringside,
light heavyweight contender
Miguel "Magic" Escobar,
who would love to fight the winner.
Okay, keep him on the end of your stick.
And don't stand in front of him.
Get yours, relocate.
It's like the bull and the matador.
This is your f***in' ring.
You're the f***in' champ, right?
Go back in and do
what we do, you gotta end this.
Hey, Billy. Billy.
All right, do me a favor
Billy, stay focused.
End it. You don't have time
for this bullshit.
Put an end to this
so we can go the f*** home.
What? What do you think
I'm trying to do, Eli?
What do you think I'm trying to do?
Get this sh*t off my eye!
Let's go! Come on!
Round ten about to begin.
Watch that jab!
Billy Hope still
with that bleeding left eye.
Those who love him would say,
"Defense? What is that?"
- And a hard right cross!
- Yeah, Hope hurt him!
That's it, baby, that's it.
Good body shot by Darius Jones.
Giving Hope a little of his medicine,
he comes back to the body a second time.
He hurt Hope with that body shot.
Hard right by Hope drives
Jones back into the ropes.
Let him go.
That's one of the best clean shots
Hope has landed
since the middle of the fight.
And down goes Jones on a left hook.
Three, four, five...
Tremendous turnaround
in favor of Hope, here in round ten.
- Come to me, come to me.
- Wow, what a shot!
You stay on him, Billy.
- Are you good? All right.
- I'm good.
keep fighting. But not for long!
may have ended the fight.
...six, seven,
eight, nine...
- That's it.

Can you get your socks off?
Yourself?
Yeah. I'll just f***in' shower in 'em.
Billy!
Okay, Mike, go ahead.
Billy, most of us here
had you winning this early.
Were you expecting
such a difficult fight?
Yeah, I don't know, "expect"?
I don't know. You can't expect anything.
Um, I was really looking forward
to just showing up,
walk in the ring, and then
having him fall on the ground.
- Billy.
- No, man, I mean...
I expected a hard fight. You know?
I put my family through a lot.
By the way, Leila,
if you're watching, go to sleep, baby.
Hey, Billy. You're 43 and 0, undefeated.

But who are you gonna fight?

Me!
All the fans around the world,
they want to see it.
Y'all tell me, who else is there?
Your crew knows it.
in here know it. I know it.
I just want to know
why you won't give me my shot.
All I want is my shot.
I just want my shot.
I'm sorry, who are you?
You know exactly who I am, baby.
He's just trying to make a fight.
And you're that contender, Miguel?
You ain't never been hit
by a real man. All right?
Who's got that...
It's pretty clear that he hasn't
really been hit at all yet, huh?
What are you drinking in that cup, man?
You know what? You ain't no champ.
