FIGHT OF THE WEEK

He's looking for openings.

He's in there, The Philly Kid.

Dillon McGwire!

Watch yourself on the mat.

Here he is.

that's the champ right there!

Mr. McGwire, I'm such a huge fan of yours.

I think you are amazing.

- Thanks.

- What's going on ?

This Allison Kaufman

Crush MMA circuit.

Miss Kaufman, this is "the" LA Jim.

He turns pretenders

into contenders.

Jim, I'm such a huge fan of yours.

I saw you fight Gracie

Back in Newport Beach.

- What can I do for you?

- I represent Crush.

We've been watching Dillon for a while...

And we think ...

he's gonna be a huge star.

They want him to fight

"Titan" Powell.

We think it would be

such a cool fight.

In one month in Baton Rouge.

Dillon's first fight where he

bites his tongue has more than ...

a million hits on YouTube.

- No.

- What ?

Of course we provide

a 50000 dollar contract for the fight.

He fights Titov. Then

the next step ...

and then the next, until it is ready.

Until he's ready? The guy is

destroying guys right now.

He is not ready.

He fights who I say, when I say.

Jim.

Seventy thousand dollars?

- I'm not gonna ask again.

- Good

Go talk to him, please.

Just give me a minute. I'll

sort this out and you'll be ...

... fighting Powell in a month.

I only have to fight one more time.

- Yes, but D. ..

- I only owe one more fight.

And then what?

you're going back to stacking boxes for Lenny?

better than getting my face beated, yes.

Look, man, Ace and Jim are the only

ones making money off your blood.

When are we going to make us some?

We have to turn the Philly Kid

into a global scheme ...

The Philly Kid is dead!

He died in prison.

And "we"?

You mean you.

I took those fights

to pay off your debt.

You understand that?

you debt.

I fight once more time

and that's where it ends.

One more fight.

- Where did you get 8000 dollars?

- You the IRS?

Put it all on my boy

to break Titov in half.

- Where did it come from?

- Come on, man.

It's clean.

LEAVES OF GRASS:

THEY ARE MY PAST NOT YOURS.

SORRY. - DILLON

How's my horse feeling?

He is ready.

Good, good. We have a lot

of roll on this run now, don't we?

Yes.

- oh Jakey, good luck out there, you hear?

- Yes

You're gonna murder this guy !

You're gonna kill him !

Hey! One minute!

And next up, a fans' favorite,

it's gonna be good.

Let's give a Texas Club welcome

to Dillon McGwire!

Shoes.

Gloves.

With a record of 7 in 2 ...

The Russian Monster , Andres Titov.

USA! USA! USA!

Remember the training, man.

Touch gloves. Here comes

the first bell.

Ready?

Ready?

- Fight!

- Go, Dillon!

Hands up! Hands up!

Move it, move it!

Stay calm, D! Stay calm!

Come on!

Come on!

That the end of round one.

Let's give it to these guys,

Make some noise.

- What is going on?

- I can't see anything.

Wash him out.

He's opening himself up every time

with that hook.

Wait for it and then finish him.

My eyes are burning,

I can't see a f***ing thing.

Wash it.

Wait for the hook, you'll be fine.

What's the champions never do?

- Quit.

- Go get him.

Fight!

Come on, D!

What are you doing?

Stopping this fight,

he's not well today.

No, no, no. don't stop, he's fine.

He will kill him.

Come on, D!

Your winner and still undefeated ...

Dillon McGwire!

God, I love that

sweeper move.

I didn't see this coming.

- How does it look Doc?

- Like he's been drugged.

What ?

Probably Rohypnol or some

type of tranquilizer.

Come on, no way !...

I've been stitching fighters for 30 years,

I know when someone's micked.

Russian immigrants, they are ...

they're dirty and everybody knows it.

Probably had some sh*t

in his gloves.

It would take a shotgun to

bring my animal down, right, D?

Three to one!

All he does is win!

He's got a big fight.

I already stitched his eye, but

you're gonna have to keep him awake ...

at least for the next eight hours

because of the risk of concussion.

Keep him awake? I can do that.

I am a champ of it.

How did I do?

You did what you do.

That's why I chose to train you.

You did good, kid.

Hey! You're falling asleep ?

You're awake?

You know what we should've done ?

We should've invited that dirty Russian.

Tina ! Come here !

- Hello, guys.

- Give me a hug.

This is the champ' right here.

This is the champ'.

Hey. We need to keep him up

four hours.

Ok

Keep him up, come on!

- D, get up and dance with her!

- Come here, champ'.

Another drink.

Wow, man.

What do you think are you doing?

- Gimme the keys.

- Are you even awake ?

Stop messling around and give me the keys.

- You can't even open your eyes.

- Yes, get in the car, drunko.

Come here !

You're really becoming to be

a pain in my ass !

Two hundred thousand dollars !

That's what I'm due !

What are you talking about?

Shut up!

You were supposed to lose that fight!

But L.A. Jim, he dropped the ball.

So I had to eliminate him.

'Cause he was unreliable.

I can't have unreliable.

So now, I'm here to appeal

directly to the source.

You boys owe me

two hundred thousand dollars.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

I've got 10 thousand.

You think I don't know everything?

You've got 24. Which is mine.

Which means you still

owe me 176 000.

I owe you sh*t!

Come here.

Open your mouth.

Open it.

Think.

So we're clear ...

You're taking the Titan to fight ...

... and you're gonna lose.

In the second.

Say it.

Say it!

Yes! Yes, I'm gonna lose!

good to hear.

I am owed.

You'll be fine.

She'll be allright.

I'm gonna need

some more hot water ... and towels.

Take it easy, kid.

Come here.

Take her with you.

I'm gonna make this right.

You're a f***ing monster.

Let him out.

Guards!

If it wasn't for your brother ...

I would be dead.

Every week they

came at me.

I became a monster.

Now that's that all I have left.

It's all that I can feel.

You're not a monster.

I can feel the good in you.

Even if you can't.

And if I can' do this?

We can.

I check the county morgue,

I find his name?

Yes.

- What was it?

- Jim Jacoby.

Also known as L.A. Jim .

- And the cops ?

- Marks.

Ray Marks?

You know, he called me in the morning.

He said he was investigating

a murder.

Committed by a drug dealer

named Ace Reed.

He asked me to keep an eye on you,

see if you seemed jumpy.

Maybe like you would be leaving town.

I'm telling you the truth.

And if he frames Ace,

it will be with this gun.

I need your help.

Shell casing on a cop

is not gonna be enough.

I'll give more.

Let's say this is all true.

Why don't you run?

You know how many a**holes

jump their parole every month?

Maybe you run, maybe I'm
