too tired to find you.

-I can't leave.

- Why not?

I can't leave her.

I can't leave her.

I'm 3 to 1 in Biloxi.

- If you put 300 000 on me ...

- 300 grand ?

You did your run already.

Besides, my money's safe

away in the bank.

Why do I need another shot

on a horse...

- ... that probably can't even win?

- For the same reason I do.

To get out.

Marks, he's gonna pin L.A. Jim on you.

Is that right ?

So how are we gonna skin this cat ?

300 000 on me to win ...

and I want two of your guys ...

and you must stay away from the fight.

You must win the fight.

You'll need more than

a shell casing.

Yes, but tell me in the I.A

doesn't have a phonebook these guys.

Can not hide forever.

I want these photos on

the web site tonight ...

And get them to Allan in L.A.

for the local TV press conference.

32, 33 ...

34, 35, 36, 37 ...

He is still circling...

Right there, see how he puts

his head down when he shoots ?

Watch this, watch this.

Boom! Right there.

Ladies and gentlemen, our judge

has called a stop to the action ...

in 2 minutes and 47 seconds

in the very final round ...

declaring its winner ...

Johnny Rattlehouse Toothless!

So, tell us about your new golden

boy, Dillon McGwire.

This really fight of a lifetime

for Dillon McGwire.

He was in need of a second chance and

Crush decided to give it to him.

One minute!

Right.

Remember, stay low,

try to work your way on the inside.

He will want some big shots.

Watch him ...

get ready to move. Right?

Whatever happens, make

sure she gets out.

On the count of three!

Let's make some noise!

One, two, three!

What the champions never do?

Quit.

He was a wrestling specialist...

weighing one ninety ripple-y ...

good muscle-y pounds ...

Wait, friends.

Wait for it.

I see you at the end

of the second round.

Ladies and gentlemen, a

round of applause ...

Dillon McGwire!

And here comes Dillon McGwire, the All American

that was once considered ...

one of the best amateur

wrestlers in the world.

This guy's a huge

underdog tonight ...

but he doesn't seem

to recognize that.

Look at the glare in his eyes.

This guy is totally dawdling.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

introducing his opponent ...

seeking to maintain its title.

Weighing tonight one hundred...

and 88 pounds ...

The Bayou Bomber ...

Titan Powell!

You know what, this guy scares the hell

out of me every time I see him.

You talk with him outside the ring

and he's the nicest guy possible.

But when he gets inside this cage,

he's a complete monster.

Hey, do not worry about it,

it's all show.

Despite the reputation of Titan ...

I think we will see a very

evenly balanced fight tonight.

Neither of these guys

is the kind to give an inch.

And both of the guys are coming in

undefeated tonight.

But I just don't think Dillon

McGwire has ever dealt ...

with the type of power that

Titan's gonna bring with his punches tonight.

FEEL MY PAIN:

Okay, gentlemen.

three three minutes rounds.

Keep it clean. somebody taps,

they're gone.

Disengage, and go to your corners.

When the bell rings,

come out ready to fight.

Touch gloves.

First round.

Chump.

Fighters ready!

Ready?

Fight!

Powell is going up for the guillotine

early here.

Dillon McGwire may

be in trouble.

Titan Powell is completely

manhandling it.

Get off!

Let it go.

Spilt, spilt.

Ready?

Fight!

Get out, D!

Here, here, here.

Hey. Hey.

Here are two twenties.

You can take that to that

guy over there? Thank you.

It's allright. he's good.

Take.

Hey! Keep your hands up,

he's fast!

This is a beauty pageant for them.

Sure, if he goes to the floor again

he's gonna want to throw in a guillotine.

Open him up.

Make him f***ing pay.

Get at him !

Ready?

Fight!

I'm gonna break you, fish.

Come !

A spectacular move !

Powell is seeking the

guillotine again.

D, get out !

don't take this.

Powell is rocked!

A punch in the eye, maybe two,

before it closes completely.

If the eye closes more,

I stop this fight.

Why not stop earlier this round?

Look at Powell, he can barely stand...

Ready?

Fight!

Dillon McGwire

took Powell in a neck key.

This may be the end.

Good job, D!

great gig.

Thanks. Great fight.

Ladies and gentlemen, we

have just witnessed history.

The giant has fallen tonight ...

McGwire!

Go.

We have the suspect ...

- Hey, man.

- Hey!

Come on, a**hole.

You have the right

to remain silent.

I know my rights.

Anything you say or do can be

used against you and ...

McGwire I'll kill you! You hear me?!

Take all of Titan Powell's

off the website.

I wanna bring McGwire front

and center.

Get on the phone with New York, let them know

we just had the fight of the century ...

broadcast to millions of homes and

that this train is leaving the station ...

with or without them.

Dillon, that was amazing.

I'm talking six figures.

What is going on ? Where is he ?

- Who?

- Seriously, Jake ...

I need to put an interview on the

website before Tokyo wakes up.

Yeah... I don't think

he's gonna make it.

He just fought the fight

of his life ...

We need to cash in.

We did.

Mr. Delano.

All debts paid.

Oh, Jakey.

I knew that'd work out.

Gentlemen.

I don't wanna know.

- Mail for you, Ryan.

- Thanks.

GONE FISHING.

PRESS THE BUTTON.
