Jimmy Stubbs in July.

Jimmy Stubbs's a bum.

The good news is

you get outta here...

fight the new champ,

we're looking at...

the biggest payday

of boxing history.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

The one thing I can tell you,

you lost a lot of fan base...

with this conviction thing.

F*** the fans.

I get outta here,

I'll get 'em back.

The fans pay your bills,

and don't you ever forget it.

Yeah.

You gotta keep the pressure

on these lawyers, OK...

and get you outta here

to fight this...

big money fight with Briscoe.

Yeah.

You can't be servin'

no full sentence.

You're 35 years old.

Time is tickin'.

Everything

you ever worked for...

it's going

right out the window.

Janiro's an agile boxer...

who has the ability

of a champion,

Janiro is fresh off

a victor...

over Charlie Consario,

The Rock turns it on,

It's Le Graziano alone,

He won't give Janiro

punching room,

Stays after his man,

Hits him from all angles,

He remembers things

from a long time ago...

clear as a bell...

but ever day,

I gotta tell him who I am.

He's in another world:

Cuba, forty years ago...

or some fight he saw in 1953.

Then all of a sudden...

he's right there with you,

like everything's normal.

And mean-

he can be mean as sh*t.

Look, we went to the Emme.

We paid good money

for his protection...

and his personal needs.

They gave you the job.

I got him

an oversized cell-

ground level, so he don't

have to use the stairs.

Food privileges.

Relaxed dress code.

Big easy chair.

I even got him his own

little boxing library.

And he's safe. I promise.

These guys I got, they don't

let any harm come his way.

# It's hard in the yard #

# You can't be sleepin'

or caught off guard #

# When the boys get to creepin'

with sharp objects #

# I'm obsessed with putin'

heads in a permanent rest #

# When I flex

thirty-four-inch biceps #

# Getin' swell,

might put your lights out #

# Spend the night

in the hole, in here #

# Ever hear is cold #

# It's the gatherin'

of lost souls #

# No self-control #

# Connected with the gangsters

runnin' this sh*t #

# From the inside,

so there's nowhere to hide #

# Tell your mama that

you'll never come home #

Hey, chief.

Mmm.

How you getting along

with your new cellmate?

- He's OK.

- Mmm.

Rumor has it he took down

one of the skinheads.

A lot of rumors in prison,

you know?

Ah, probably deserved it anyway.

Maybe.

We hear you don't want to

associate with anybody here.

Maybe you got

way too much attitude, man.

Unh.

Aaron's an expert.

He's the man on appeals.

But before we talk

about your appeal...

I need to tell you about

Miss Tawnee Rawlins.

She's filed a civil lawsuit

in the amount of $75 million.

You handlin' that?

I'd recommend

an outside attorney.

Another specialist.

However, we can handle

your tax litigation.

The government has filed

an intent to audit.

We have someone in the firm

that can deal with that.

Is any of this covered...

by the $2 million

I already paid you?

We get the same deal as you get.

You get paid win or lose.

So do we.

There are a couple

of procedural areas...

that are still in question-

possible reversible error.

But I'm not gonna kid you.

I'd make us a long shot.

You're looking at

a six- to eight-year sentence...

with possible time off

for good behavior.

Now, in California,

that means...

you're eligible for parole

in four years.

What you need to focus on...

is if you become

a model prisoner...

exhibit

special circumstances...

you could be considered

for a work furlough...

as soon as eighteen months

to two years.

So it don't matter

whether I did it or not?

It doesn't work that way.

Justice and the law

are separate issues.

Let's get back to

some of your other problems.

We've done an audit.

Your financial situation

is a mess.

- No, that's bullshit.

- No bullshit.

Big financial settlements

with your ex-wives, entourage.

Bad investments

and misrepresentations...

by your ex-business manager.

I'm gonna sue that motherf***er.

And what about this IRS sh*t?

Where do I stand on that?

By the firm's calculations,

you could end up owing them...

$7 million in back taxes,

and that's just the feds.

Then there's the state.

The bottom line-

we need to get

your black ass outta here...

and back in the ring.

Clive Johnson

here ringside...

for KHIL Channel 13

in the Bay Area,

Next, round seven

of the California...

state heavyweight

championship fight...

here from the Palmer Arena

in downtown Oakland,

Challenger Monroe Hutchen's

undefeated...

takin' on

state champ Butch Davis...

in what, so far,

has been a nearly even fight,

There's the bell!

Davis has a bad cut

above his left eye...

and Monroe Hutchen

looks like...

he wants to do

something about it,

It's all Monroe,

it's all Monroe!

A big right hand,

Another right!

Davis is down,

and this fight is over!

After forty-three seconds

in the seventh round...

Monroe Hutchen is the new...

California state

heavyweight champion!

Your attorneys have

come to me and asked me...

to handle your response

to the plaintiff's filing,

As you know, you are now facing

a separate civil suit...

that may well go to trial...

over the criminal charges

you've been convicted of.

Briefly, "That on March 17,

you and four other men...

"took six women

via private jet...

"from Las Vegas

to Los Angeles-"

Showgirls.

"At approximately 1:30 p. m...

"you checked into

the penthouse suite...

"of the Beverly Manor hotel. "

Until that point of the evening,

all parties concede...

but for minor discrepancies,

the foregoing is true.

What happened next

is in question.

No question.

I ain't no punk-ass rapist.

She wanted it.

Look. None of this makes

any difference at this point.

We're just trying

to get an over-

No. She didn't say no.

She ain't say sh*t.

She didn't have a problem

with any of it.

Miss Rawlins

effectively convinced...

the criminal trial jury

that she believed that...

you could break her

in two with one arm.

Yeah, uh-huh.

That's why she was makin'

all them happy sounds...

'cause I was killin' her,

right?

Some women like it rough.

You know anything about that?

That wasn't par

of your testimony.

A lawyer said don't sound

like I'm calling her a ho.

The prosecution

pegged you as a bully.

And she could explain it away

easily enough by saying...

that you mistook what were

in fact her cries for help...

for she was just in pain.

I heard pain before,

and-ha ha ha-

believe me,

she wasn't in no pain.

She's asking $75 million...

but I don't like negotiating

with your appeal pending.

No negotiatin'.

I ain't givin' that b*tch sh*t.

And then when he finished,

he just put back on his pants...

and went back out

into the party...

and left me alone.

# Ohh #

# Man up #

# Man up #

# Motherf***er,

you are now in jail #

# Man up #

# Motherf***er, where

it's strange as hell #

# 'Cause you's

a no-booty and so... #
