Sign up for the competition just like them

If you can get through one match,

and you're still standing

Regardless if you win or lose,

I'll give you back the flat!

If not, get the hell out!

Piece of trash!

Regarding this apartment

at St. Francis Yard, Wan Chai

He did leave it to you

But only 49% of the ownership

In other words, you're a real estate developer

What can you do about it!

So I win as long as I'm still standing?

Three rounds, stand on your two feet

even if you lose

And if you lose that match,

I'll still count it as a win

You better keep your promise

I'll never bother you again!

You said so!

Give her a bowl of noodles

Start training after your noodles

Why don't you text me,

I dunno what you're trying to say

Get up!

Have you been to the Maldives?

Nope

I haven't been either

I'll do some planning

I promise that I won't go with anyone else

I'll only go with you

More power

More power! Sleepless last night?

Did you do this?

Not me. Mute Dog, was it you?

Then it's you

Thank you

"Radio DJ Calvin was attacked

at the entrance of the radio station"

You're going into the ring tomorrow

I'm kind of nervous

You can still back out, it's no big deal

You're nuts!

I can't give up after so much training,

this isn't a game

You've lived here all your life

Back then, it was your dad teaching

in the living room

And now it's somebody else

He doesn't ask for rent, you can just live here

You feel like you're living under his roof,

but I think the opposite

Just find a job, or come work with me

at the massage parlour

You're so strong now

We have plans A and B,

you don't need to give handjobs

Maybe you shouldn't give

people handjobs anymore

What's the problem?

Everyone says I'm good at it

Why not utilize my skill?

That's crazy!

I need to go to work,

I'll come to your match when I get off

What are you watching so late at night?

Porn

You like watching porn?

Yeah

Wow, is that you?

Don't pretend that you don't recognize me

I have no recollection that

you've taught me before

I look really happy

When you got home from school,

you'd start training before

finishing your homework

But you stopped after you lost that competition

And you started telling everyone that

your father forced you to train

You were so talented, who could've forced you?

Come on!

Don't stay up too late,

you've got an early morning tomorrow

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8...

Salute each other!

- Thank you!

- Thank you!

You're lucky today, your opponent is a midget

You're much taller than her

Don't let her near you,

start attacking immediately

Finish her in the first round

We are going by K1 regulations

Three three-minute rounds,

with one minute breaks

Do not attack the back of the head or groin

Start and stop when I say so

Understood?

Touch gloves

Back to your corners

ls it over?

- Yes, it's finished,

- How's the fight?

- I lose

- What?

So short?

Ready

Fight!

Punch! Don't kick! Punch!

Good!

- Awesome!

- Are you okay?

- Get up! Get Up!

- Attack her head!

Are you okay?

I have a black belt in Karate

Started competing when I was 10,

and was the champion of the Youth section

Remember, defense and offense...

Hold on to the back of the head, don't move

Have some water...

- I wanna go home...

- What?

I quit! I wanna go home!

I'll let you leave once you do to her nose

what she did to yours!

Keep going!

Fight!

Protect your head!

Push her into the corner! Attack her head!

Don't turn around!

Push her!

Back to your corners

You'll be penalized for fighting in

a passive manner, you understand?

Again

Fight!

Raise your arms!

Put your back into it!

It's only the preliminaries, just go for it!

No, you have to let her finish!

You have to remember

You'll always meet someone stronger than you

They might beat you down

But no matter what

You need to have the courage to face it

Let's see when the lawyer's free

I'll sign off the rest of the apartment to you

Alright

Therefore x = 3, please remember

I'm heading out

I love you

I love you too

"Chan Kent"

Congratulations

I was the one...

Who told Chan Kent

to coerce you into this fight

I figured. Why though?

I can't hit you myself

So I needed other people to do it for me

Not everyone can find their very own spotlight

Once you've found it...

Never let it go
