You're gonna beat this guy.

You're gonna do it for them.

- Right?

- Right.

All right.

Look, I don't know

what this is about

and I don't care.

But if there's even a hint of truth

to what that kid is saying,

when you hit, you hit

to put him down...

for good.

You understand what

I'm tellin' you?

I gotcha.

Dominic! Dominic!

Dominic! Dominic! Dominic!

All right, y'all. This is it.

This is the one you've

been waiting for, y'all!

$50,000 is on the line!

The final match-up!

We got Michael Shaw

takin' on your champion,

the undefeated Dominic Gray!

We've got a real David vs.

Goliath here tonight, baby!

Okay, gentlemen, come

over here, please.

Both of you.

Protect yourself at all time.

Obey my command at all time.

If you wanna touch gloves, do it

now and go back to your corners.

Okay, step back,

guys. Let's do this.

Stay on your toes, man,

and watch your chin.

Are you ready, sir? You ready?

Fight!

Move, Michael, move!

A lotta movement. Attaboy!

Stick and move! Stick and move!

Yo, kid, you might as well

just tap out now, man.

Circle away from the power hand!

For a guy who saw his mother

get shot in the face,

you hit like a little b*tch.

Don't stand in front

of this guy, Michael!

Hang in there! Hang in there!

Get up! Get up, Michael! Get up!

Stay with him, Michael. Hold him!

Hold him down!

Stop. Step aside.

Don't do that sh*t.

Dominic Gray is a bad man!

Next time you do that

I will disqualify you.

Sit down, Michael.

Breathe.

Deep breaths.

Michael, look at me. What are

you doing out there, man?

You fighting out of anger?

Where's your technique, huh?

Where's your technique? Everything

we worked on in the gym.

Remember that, right?

Punch and move! Punch and move!

Stay away from him! Don't

get into those clinches.

Look at me.

You can beat this guy. All right?

Okay, gentlemen, seconds out.

All right? Relax.

- Let's go, guys.

- Stay away from him.

Fight!

Watch the spacing!

Attaboy! Attaboy!

Ha!

Oooh!

Breathe!

Oh! Watch the knees, baby!

Those things will crack

your skull open, y'all.

Oooh!

Damn!

Go to his legs!

Good! Do it again!

Ahh!

Get his legs!

Break!

Go back to your corner, sir.

- Sit down, man, sit down.

- It's beautiful, Michael. Beautiful.

Why the f*** haven't you

finished this kid already, Dom?

This guy's hurt. He's tired.

- You can beat this guy.

- Talk to me, Dom.

What the f*** is going on?

- How's the knee?

- F*** the knee.

- F*** this kid.

- Stay on his legs.

You can beat this guy.

Look at me!

You're Dominic f***in' Gray.

Finish this kid right f***in' now!

Make him know what it feels

like to lose everything.

All right? Now go out

there, finish him!

- Let's go! Seconds out!

- Put pressure on him.

Use your power. Use your power.

Make it quick. Let's go go go.

Go, sir. You have to get

outta here. Get outta here.

- Let's go.

- Don't worry about it.

- Get outta here.

- Yeah yeah.

Stay in your corner, sir.

Stay in your corner.

Your stool.

- Hey!

- He f***ing grabbed my hand.

I'm okay. Hey, he's

locking the gate.

- Give me the key.

- Get the f*** outta here!

- Hey, watch it!

- Back off, back off.

Michael!

- Michael, what are you doing?

- What the f***'s he doing?

He's staying in the cage.

Take your time!

You see this kid?

Nobody escapes.

Don't fight it.

Go to sleep. Go to sleep.

Mama.

Mom.

Don't worry.

You'll be with your

Mommy and Daddy soon.

He ain't gonna wake up.

Yeah, that's it, man.

Grab your right leg, Michael!

Grab your right leg!

No way! No way!

No way. I don't know what

I'm seeing, but I like it.

Ooh!

Oh sh*t.

Oh f***!

Yeah yeah!

Crazy!

Hey, go ahead. Do your thing.

Yeah!

Loser!

Hey yo!

We have ourselves a winner, y'all!

Ha ha!

Hey, $50,000, y'all!

Every penny, man.

I'm a man of my word.

It's just like I said,

"If it comes from Lou,

you know it's true." Hey hey, look,

but don't touch, baby. Yeah, hey,

this is all you, kid.

You earned it, man.

It's all you, baby.

For the dojo.

- But, Michael...

- Shut up before I change my mind.

Thank you.

All the flowers fade

And the stars pale...

Michael! Michael! Michael!

As this bitter beauty...

Michael! Michael! Michael!

Grabs you by the tail

How long will you hesitate

Halfway up the trail?

Yeah, it's dark in the trees

And some wounds never heal

But you're dreaming

With eyes wide open

Your heart has spoken

For the first time...

All right, everyone, line up.

Fall in, guys. Feet together.

All the penny wishes...

Ready?

One...

two...

three...

Splitting at the seams

And you're standing in the doorway

With your hair all in a mess

You in all your glory

Wondering what comes next

And you're dreaming

With eyes wide open

Your heart has spoken

For the first time

Yeah, you're dreaming

With eyes wide open

Your heart has spoken...

You think they'd be proud?

They've always been proud.
