1. Yet another quick knockout for
Mason Dixon, almost perfunctory.Copy !req
2. The fans let him know
how they feel about it.Copy !req
3. Hide the women and children.
This could get ugly.Copy !req
4. This crowd does nothing to hide
its anger over this latest debacle.Copy !req
5. The fans are mad as hell.
They don't want to take it anymore.Copy !req
6. They seem to be blaming Dixon,
a good fighter, for the decline...Copy !req
7. not only of the heavyweight-division
guys, but of the entire sport.Copy !req
8. They're actually pelting...Copy !req
9. the undefeated heavyweight
champion of the world with ice.Copy !req
10. Maybe this angry, visceral reaction
will pressure Dixon to fight someone...Copy !req
11. who can fight back for a change.
If there's somebody out there.Copy !req
12. All of boxing is hoping for a warrior
who thrills us with his passion.Copy !req
13. Time goes by too fast.Copy !req
14. Yeah? Not fast enough.Copy !req
15. - Your kid should've been here.
- That's all right.Copy !req
16. - No, it ain't all right.
- The kid gets a little busy sometimes.Copy !req
17. He don't get that busy.Copy !req
18. Let's not talk about it here, okay?
You're coming tonight, right?Copy !req
19. I'm working. I took the tour
the last three years.Copy !req
20. I know, but it's the anniversary.Copy !req
21. Fine. You got my word.Copy !req
22. I appreciate it, thank you.
I owe you, Paulie.Copy !req
23. Yo, Robert. What's going on?
Where have you been? You're late.Copy !req
24. No. I don't wanna hear this.
Look, your job performance...Copy !req
25. is nowhere near good enough
to be pulling this.Copy !req
26. I don't give a damn who your father is.
You understand me?Copy !req
27. - All right. Now get out of here.
- Okay.Copy !req
28. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
29. Yo, Robert. Yo.Copy !req
30. - Hey, Rocky.
- Hey.Copy !req
31. - Hey, how you doing?
- Hey.Copy !req
32. What's up, champ?Copy !req
33. - You caught me off guard.
- I know.Copy !req
34. I wanted to catch you
before you got busy.Copy !req
35. Yeah, it gets busy up there.Copy !req
36. - So how you doing? Yeah?
- Real good. Yeah.Copy !req
37. - Yo, Rock!
- Yeah, how you doing?Copy !req
38. Yeah, real good.Copy !req
39. Listen, you wanna go out
and get some coffee?Copy !req
40. I'm kind of behind. Maybe later?Copy !req
41. Yeah. That'd be great. You ought to
come by the restaurant tonight.Copy !req
42. I can have something
made special for you.Copy !req
43. Tonight I can't. I got plans.
A few of the guys get together.Copy !req
44. - Did I do something wrong?
- What do you mean?Copy !req
45. Well, I don't know exactly
what I mean...Copy !req
46. but I just think, like, when I come
here, you don't feel so comfortable.Copy !req
47. And I certainly don't wanna do that.Copy !req
48. - Well, you throw a big shadow.
- A big shadow?Copy !req
49. You're not gonna get anything done
down here, Robert.Copy !req
50. Well, if you're not gonna introduce me,
I will. Hi, I'm William Tomilson.Copy !req
51. - How you doing?
- Your son works for me.Copy !req
52. - It's a good job.
- Yeah.Copy !req
53. I've told Robert about 20 times
that I wanted to meet you.Copy !req
54. You're pretty busy,
which isn't a bad thing.Copy !req
55. - I get a little tied up.
- Grab a shot, will you?Copy !req
56. I may not get this chance again.
Old warhorses have to stick together.Copy !req
57. - The old horses, yeah.
- I'll tell you.Copy !req
58. - Good thing it's not your left.
- This makes you popular with people.Copy !req
59. - One, two, three.
- Finally, we get to meet.Copy !req
60. I gotta get going. It was nice
to meet you face to face.Copy !req
61. You take care of yourself.
Robert, I'll see you later.Copy !req
62. I gotta get going.
I'll change my plans for tonight.Copy !req
63. That'd be great.
I'm looking forward to it.Copy !req
64. - How you doing?
- Okay.Copy !req
65. - Okay.
- All right.Copy !req
66. And do not let those numbers
drive you crazy.Copy !req
67. - Too late.
- Use an eraser, get rid of all of them.Copy !req
68. - Yo, Rock.
- Hey, guys.Copy !req
69. - Hey, Rock.
- Hey, how you doing?Copy !req
70. There you go.Copy !req
71. It'll be about 10 tenths.
You guys take care, okay? You got it.Copy !req
72. I'll try a few of these later on.Copy !req
73. - It's good for baking.
- How much...?Copy !req
74. - Yo, Paul, what's the cost?
- 58.40, sir.Copy !req
75. All right, take it out of that.
I trust you.Copy !req
76. - How you doing?
- You're too generous.Copy !req
77. Not a problem.Copy !req
78. How you guys doing?Copy !req
79. How we doing, Isabel?Copy !req
80. Okay, except for the freebie
reading the Bible.Copy !req
81. - He's okay.
- Just because you fought him...Copy !req
82. don't mean you gotta feed him.
He doesn't look like a fighter.Copy !req
83. Spider Rico could hit.Copy !req
84. - Listen, how's your stomach?
- It's okay.Copy !req
85. If you keep rubbing olive oil
on your stomach...Copy !req
86. your kid's gonna be
born very strong.Copy !req
87. - Okay, Rocky. Whatever you say.
- No, really.Copy !req
88. - Yo, how you doing, Spider?
- God bless you, Rocky.Copy !req
89. Thanks.Copy !req
90. How you guys doing?Copy !req
91. Jose, can you make something special
for my kid who's coming tonight?Copy !req
92. No problemo.Copy !req
93. Good. I appreciate it.Copy !req
94. Back and forth, back and forth,
give and take.Copy !req
95. And then I went in there like an animal
and threw him into the corner...Copy !req
96. and I unloaded everything I had.
Hook, hook, hook, left, left, left.Copy !req
97. But Creed, he kept
busting me back pretty good...Copy !req
98. and the agony began to pile up.Copy !req
99. Then I heard the best sound
that I ever heard in my life...Copy !req
100. - The bell.
- That's right, the bell.Copy !req
101. I ain't never been so tired,
and I'm sitting in my corner.Copy !req
102. I'm trying to figure out
how to survive the last round...Copy !req
103. when Mickey leans
into my ear and says:Copy !req
104. "Come on, get out there
and fight this guy hard, you bum.Copy !req
105. You gotta be first. You gotta be first."
I said, "Yo, Mick, if I could...Copy !req
106. - "I would."
I would."Copy !req
107. The end.Copy !req
108. Yet another quick knockout for
Mason Dixon, almost perfunctory.Copy !req
109. The fans let him know
how they feel about it.Copy !req
110. They're actually pelting...Copy !req
111. the undefeated heavyweight
champion of the world with ice.Copy !req
112. Hello, Adrian's. Yeah?Copy !req
113. Tell him you can't make it?
Yeah, I'll give him the message.Copy !req
114. I just kept hearing Mickey's voice
in my head over and over again.Copy !req
115. I just dug down,
and before you know it...Copy !req
116. it was toe to toe and it was...
Excuse me.Copy !req
117. Your son said he can't make it.
He said he'll take a rain check. Okay?Copy !req
118. Look at these birds.Copy !req
119. Don't these birds look like candy?
Flying candy?Copy !req
120. Hey, birdie,
you wanna fly me home?Copy !req
121. You need somebody
to walk you home?Copy !req
122. No?Copy !req
123. It's a cold night. We need a few laughs
in our life. What do you think? Maybe?Copy !req
124. Maybe? Maybe?Copy !req
125. Okay. Let's get out of here, okay?Copy !req
126. That place ain't changed much
from last year.Copy !req
127. Are we done?Copy !req
128. Hey, how you doing, Mick?Copy !req
129. That sign is falling apart, Paulie.Copy !req
130. The whole world is falling apart.
Look at us.Copy !req
131. Don't talk crazy, Paulie.Copy !req
132. You know, I think if you live someplace
long enough, you are that place.Copy !req
133. I ain't no talking building.Copy !req
134. Come on, it's getting late, Rocko.Copy !req
135. I get a headache from this train.Copy !req
136. I remember when
she was standing there...Copy !req
137. all nervous and shy,
with this little smile.Copy !req
138. And all I wanted her to do
was trust me.Copy !req
139. She did.Copy !req
140. - She did.
- You done?Copy !req
141. - How long are we staying here?
- Not long.Copy !req
142. Well, I'm glad they tore
this ice rink down.Copy !req
143. Come on.Copy !req
144. You heard me.
I'm happy they tore it apart.Copy !req
145. First time I walked your sister
across this ice, we was over there.Copy !req
146. She was nervous, but I wasn't so great
on the blades either.Copy !req
147. Ice is stupid. People standing on ice
are more stupid.Copy !req
148. And over there,
when she was falling...Copy !req
149. and my hand grabbed her...Copy !req
150. and I got her arm through that coat,
I could feel it.Copy !req
151. Electric.Copy !req
152. You said the same thing
last year, Rock.Copy !req
153. Did I?Copy !req
154. - So you better develop your brain.Copy !req
155. - You're left-handed.
- Absolutely.Copy !req
156. Come on, Rock. Let's go.Copy !req
157. We're done. There's no place
to sit down around here.Copy !req
158. It's all right.Copy !req
159. It ain't all right! It's depressing
and freaking cold!Copy !req
160. What's the matter with you, Paulie?Copy !req
161. You're living backwards, Rocko!Copy !req
162. Change the channel from yesterday!
Yesterday wasn't so great!Copy !req
163. - It was to me.
- Not to me!Copy !req
164. You treated her good.
You had the good times.Copy !req
165. I treated her bad.
I don't have to think about this.Copy !req
166. She always loved you, Paulie.Copy !req
167. Sorry, Rocko,
I can't do this no more.Copy !req
168. Can I help you?Copy !req
169. No, no, I used to come down
to this place a long time ago.Copy !req
170. I was just looking around.
No big deal.Copy !req
171. Can I get you a drink?Copy !req
172. - All right. Maybe just a short beer.
- Okay.Copy !req
173. Go. Go on.Copy !req
174. Yeah, go on.
Get him to buy a round.Copy !req
175. Get him to buy a round. Go.Copy !req
176. Get him to... He's got it.
He's spending money.Copy !req
177. Listen, I don't mean to cross the line
or anything...Copy !req
178. but I read about your wife's passing
a few years back.Copy !req
179. Yeah, it was woman cancer.Copy !req
180. Yeah. I always heard
she was a nice person.Copy !req
181. Yeah, the best.Copy !req
182. - Do I know you?
- We met a long time ago.Copy !req
183. We did?Copy !req
184. When I was a kid,
you walked me home.Copy !req
185. - I did?
- Told me to stop smoking and things.Copy !req
186. Stop smoking...Copy !req
187. Are you Little Marie that used to
hang out at that Atomic Hoagie shop?Copy !req
188. Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
189. Yeah, now I remember.
I walked you home.Copy !req
190. When you got there, you turned
around and said, "Screw you, creepo."Copy !req
191. - I didn't say that.
- Yeah, you did.Copy !req
192. - You sure?
- Great insults last a long time.Copy !req
193. Yo! Yo, is that you?
Is that really you?Copy !req
194. - How you doing?
- I think he wants to drink alone.Copy !req
195. Well, then give him his drink, then.
I ain't stopping you.Copy !req
196. What's that, your man or something?
No, I don't think so.Copy !req
197. Anyway, me and my friends,
we're right down there.Copy !req
198. Think you could buy us a round?
You got the money. Just one round.Copy !req
199. Hey. Thank you.Copy !req
200. What are you doing
pushing my hand away like that?Copy !req
201. - What's your name?
- Angie. What do you wanna know for?Copy !req
202. - Don't be playing a fool for that guy.
- A fool?Copy !req
203. - Yeah.
- A fool?Copy !req
204. I'm the fool? You're the fool, not me!Copy !req
205. You got it twisted. You're the fool.
I'm a person, just like you.Copy !req
206. You ain't no better than me. You think
you're a big shot now? You're nothing.Copy !req
207. You ain't no better than me.
No better!Copy !req
208. Glad you dropped in?Copy !req
209. I think the neighborhood
is changing a little.Copy !req
210. - What was that all about?
- I don't know. Forget about it.Copy !req
211. I'm gonna lock up, so if you wanna
take off, I'll tally everything up.Copy !req
212. - Yeah, thanks.
- How you doing, Rock?Copy !req
213. I'm good, thanks.Copy !req
214. - You live around here?
- About eight blocks from here.Copy !req
215. Eight blocks.Copy !req
216. You need a lift?Copy !req
217. All right.Copy !req
218. Did you ever get married?Copy !req
219. - Yeah, sort of.
- Sort of?Copy !req
220. - Yeah, well, he took off.
- Poof, just like that?Copy !req
221. Yeah, just like that.Copy !req
222. - You sort of have any kids?
- Yeah, I got one kid.Copy !req
223. Yeah? Me too. Me too.
Wonderful boy.Copy !req
224. Hey, tough guy! What's the matter,
you can't buy a round?Copy !req
225. The girl was being nice
to your dumb ass.Copy !req
226. - What you doing with that pig?
- Think you can disrespect us?Copy !req
227. - She ain't nothing but a jealous bitch!
- Come on back!Copy !req
228. Hey, don't listen to them.Copy !req
229. Both of youse,
you ain't no better than me.Copy !req
230. Come over here, you'll get
your head kicked in around here.Copy !req
231. - You punch-drunk, goofy bastard.
- You ain't no big shot, look at you.Copy !req
232. You ain't even got a car
to take that pig home.Copy !req
233. You all right?Copy !req
234. Yeah.Copy !req
235. What are you doing?
Don't get out. It's all right.Copy !req
236. No, Little Marie. It ain't all right.Copy !req
237. - Yo.
- What?Copy !req
238. I'll tell you what. Get inside.Copy !req
239. - You get inside. Yeah, you.
- Hey, leave him alone!Copy !req
240. - Yo, man!
- See it?Copy !req
241. - You see that? You see that?
- Yeah. All right.Copy !req
242. - What do you say?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry!Copy !req
243. Get a job!Copy !req
244. That guy sends his apologies.Copy !req
245. Okay.Copy !req
246. Martin. Martin. Yo, Martin!Copy !req
247. I see you still got your key.Copy !req
248. Yeah, I got a key.
You got time to talk?Copy !req
249. I got a lot of time
since your people let me go.Copy !req
250. You know I had
nothing to do with that.Copy !req
251. Yeah.Copy !req
252. Yeah, we moved in
about a year ago.Copy !req
253. - Yeah?
- Yeah, I mean, it's only temporary.Copy !req
254. - Yeah, I could see that.
- I'm gonna look for an apartment.Copy !req
255. Apartments are nice.Copy !req
256. Yeah. It is what it is, you know.Copy !req
257. Yeah, it is what it is.Copy !req
258. This place used to be pretty nice.
There's a lot of history around here.Copy !req
259. - Yeah.
- Like down the street...Copy !req
260. is the Cambria Fight Club.Copy !req
261. They used to call it
the Bucket of Blood.Copy !req
262. I took some massive beatings there.
But it was nice. Good memories.Copy !req
263. And I heard these buildings are like,
I don't know, 100, 150 years old.Copy !req
264. If I was 150 years old, I'd be falling
apart too. So it's okay, building.Copy !req
265. Does that light work?Copy !req
266. - No, it's burnt out or something. Yeah.
- Yeah?Copy !req
267. Listen, thanks for the ride,
and I'm sorry about those guys.Copy !req
268. Some of those guys just got their
brains on backwards and stuff.Copy !req
269. - What's he doing out so late?
- Is that your kid?Copy !req
270. Yeah. Wish he wouldn't
stay out so late.Copy !req
271. - Amazing.
- Yeah, what's that?Copy !req
272. Last time I seen you,
you was a kid...Copy !req
273. and now you officially
got one of your own.Copy !req
274. It's amazing.Copy !req
275. You know, he sort of resembles you.
He's got that big Irish hair.Copy !req
276. Yeah, it's the other one.Copy !req
277. - Yeah?
- His father was from Jamaica.Copy !req
278. Jamaica? European.Copy !req
279. Was you on a cruise ship
or something?Copy !req
280. - No, not really.
- What's his name?Copy !req
281. - Steps. Short for Stevenson.
- Makes sense.Copy !req
282. Does he look mad at me, or is it
maybe the angle I'm standing at?Copy !req
283. No. He's a good kid.Copy !req
284. - You wanna meet him?
- It's getting kind of late.Copy !req
285. - I got so many things to do.
- Yeah, yeah, I understand.Copy !req
286. Thanks again for the ride
and everything else.Copy !req
287. I'll see you.Copy !req
288. You too.Copy !req
289. Hey, Steps, come on. Let's go.
Say good night to your friend.Copy !req
290. What are you doing out
in the cold with no hat on?Copy !req
291. - Did you get something to eat?
- Yeah, I already ate.Copy !req
292. All right.Copy !req
293. - You're late, you know.
- I can take care of myself.Copy !req
294. Yo, Little Marie!Copy !req
295. Ain't you gonna
introduce me to your kid?Copy !req
296. - How you doing, Steps?
- What's up?Copy !req
297. Listen, I got this place, this restaurant,
nice little eatery not too far from here.Copy !req
298. What's all this junk? Got a tissue.Copy !req
299. Sometimes I feel like a kangaroo,
all the stuff in my pocket, you know.Copy !req
300. Here you go.
I got a card, there it is.Copy !req
301. And if you ever get a chance,
it'd be great...Copy !req
302. if both of youse
come down there and eat.Copy !req
303. It'd be great, free. You know.
Anyway, I'll leave it over there... Here.Copy !req
304. I'll leave it on the steps. Steps.Copy !req
305. See you later.Copy !req
306. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
307. You've known what's best for you
since you were 10.Copy !req
308. Since you walked in here alone.Copy !req
309. Got everything money can buy...Copy !req
310. except what it can't.Copy !req
311. It's pride. Pride is what got
your ass out of here.Copy !req
312. Losing is what brung you back.Copy !req
313. But people like you, they need
to be tested. Need a challenge.Copy !req
314. That ain't gonna happen.
Ain't nothing out there.Copy !req
315. There's always somebody
out there. Always.Copy !req
316. When that time comes
and you find something...Copy !req
317. standing in front of you
that ain't running...Copy !req
318. that ain't backing up, hitting on you,
and you're too damn tired to breathe...Copy !req
319. You find that situation on you,
that's good.Copy !req
320. Because that's baptism under fire.Copy !req
321. You get through that,
you find the only kind of respect...Copy !req
322. that matters in this damn world:Copy !req
323. Self-respect.Copy !req
324. Thanks, Martin. I appreciate that.Copy !req
325. Now, what can the champ
do for you?Copy !req
326. You can give me
some of that money you got.Copy !req
327. - You know, I like you, Martin.
- But not that much.Copy !req
328. Exactly.Copy !req
329. How about a picture with the kid?
All right?Copy !req
330. Sure.Copy !req
331. Here, son, hold up your fist.
Makes you look more hazardous.Copy !req
332. - There you go.
- Thanks, Rock.Copy !req
333. Enjoy your meal.Copy !req
334. - He's a nice guy, isn't he?
- Rocky?Copy !req
335. - Yeah.
- Spider just went downstairs.Copy !req
336. - I don't know if that's all right.
- What's he doing?Copy !req
337. I don't know. That's your friend.Copy !req
338. Yo, Spider!Copy !req
339. - Let me do some dishes. I feel better.
- Come on. You're my guest.Copy !req
340. - Let me do something.
- Keep eating. Guests do that.Copy !req
341. Don't make me fight you again.
Last time you got lucky.Copy !req
342. Lucky? Okay.Copy !req
343. Jesus wants me to work.Copy !req
344. - Yo, Rocky.
- Yeah?Copy !req
345. You've got guests.Copy !req
346. Don't get too wet, okay?Copy !req
347. Glad Jesus didn't ask you to cook.Copy !req
348. You kept the card.Copy !req
349. Yeah, I kept the card.Copy !req
350. - Why don't you sit down?
- Yeah, sure.Copy !req
351. Because, you know what, I walk in
there, I say good morning, I do this:Copy !req
352. Tonight, boxing once again.Copy !req
353. Two contrasting styles
in almost every way.Copy !req
354. Hey, can you turn this up?
Turn this up, please.Copy !req
355. Who was the best of all time?
If two athletes from different eras...Copy !req
356. could compete against one another,
who would come out on top?Copy !req
357. Given the same rules, using the same
equipment, who was the greatest?Copy !req
358. We feed our facts
into the computer.Copy !req
359. They weigh in on who they
think will reign supreme...Copy !req
360. while fielding the comments of our
illustrious panel of sportswriters.Copy !req
361. Champ!Copy !req
362. - Yo, champ!
- Yeah?Copy !req
363. Come check out this trash
they're talking about you, man!Copy !req
364. - What you talking about?
- Come check this out. Hurry up.Copy !req
365. Tonight, the former two-time
heavyweight champion...Copy !req
366. from Philadelphia, Rocky Balboa.Copy !req
367. All right, Chuck Johnson,
USA Today?Copy !req
368. There's no question that
Rocky Balboa fought tougher fights...Copy !req
369. during a tougher era in boxing.Copy !req
370. You look at Mason Dixon
in his career...Copy !req
371. he's basically been
spoon-fed his opponents.Copy !req
372. No question in my mind.
Not only does Rocky win...Copy !req
373. but he wins knockout.Copy !req
374. Rocky!Copy !req
375. Offspring.Copy !req
376. Bernard Fernandez?Copy !req
377. Dixon is a victim
of his own dominance.Copy !req
378. He's never been in
real knockdown-dragout brawls.Copy !req
379. He never had to dig down
to rally back.Copy !req
380. If he tries to dig down
against Balboa...Copy !req
381. he'll find he doesn't have
a big enough shovel.Copy !req
382. I clearly give it to Balboa.Copy !req
383. What happened to you?
What happened to you?Copy !req
384. Boxing historian
Burt Randolph Sugar.Copy !req
385. Dixon has fought cream puffs.
We don't know what he's made of.Copy !req
386. But both in their primes,
you gotta factor in...Copy !req
387. Dixon's unbelievable speed...Copy !req
388. his slashing offense.
He cuts Balboa to bits.Copy !req
389. No doubt. Dixon wins all the way.Copy !req
390. Here's where our subjectivity ends.
Let's see what the computer says.Copy !req
391. Dixon unloads on Balboa. Rocky has
no answer. Balboa is eating jabs.Copy !req
392. - What time is it?
- Mason time.Copy !req
393. - What time is it?
- Mason time.Copy !req
394. - What time is it?
- Mason time.Copy !req
395. Now Dixon is done. He is reeling.
He is almost out on his feet!Copy !req
396. Balboa turning up the heat.
Pounds him across the ring.Copy !req
397. Boy, he's bit off more than he
can chew this time. Believe it.Copy !req
398. Oh, a murderous right hook!
And Dixon is out on his feet.Copy !req
399. He is out cold as he
crumbles to the canvas.Copy !req
400. And it is Balboa who has won...Copy !req
401. Ladies and gentlemen, Baby Rocky.
Baby Rocky.Copy !req
402. I'm glad you liked the food. If you heat
that up, it's pretty good in the morning.Copy !req
403. Yeah, thanks, man.Copy !req
404. Nice kid. I hope this music ain't giving
you a headache. I like this old stuff.Copy !req
405. No, I like it. It's nice.Copy !req
406. Well, good. Good.Copy !req
407. Yo, you think Steps wants a job?
Make a few bucks on the weekend?Copy !req
408. It's good making your own G's. My kid
stashed a few bucks doing that.Copy !req
409. Why are you being so nice?Copy !req
410. I don't want you to think
nothing's off, you know.Copy !req
411. My wife, she's gone, but she ain't.
You know what I mean?Copy !req
412. Yeah, well, I wasn't thinking that.
Believe me.Copy !req
413. - No? Then what was you thinking?
- No.Copy !req
414. That you don't owe us nothing.
What are you doing?Copy !req
415. Be patient.Copy !req
416. Now...Copy !req
417. I don't owe you nothing,
but why do you gotta...Copy !req
418. owe something to get...?Copy !req
419. Bingo.Copy !req
420. Why do you gotta owe something
to get something, you know? Really.Copy !req
421. I think hanging out with your kid
would be nice. What do you think?Copy !req
422. I think that'd be nice.Copy !req
423. Good. That's very nice.Copy !req
424. I'm glad you come by.Copy !req
425. It was nice watching you eat.Copy !req
426. Good company.Copy !req
427. Yo, Little Marie. Let there be light!Copy !req
428. - You like dogs?
- Dogs?Copy !req
429. Dogs. This is like a dog pound.
It's where they keep...Copy !req
430. a large variety of dogs. I used to
come here all the time for sightseeing.Copy !req
431. But, you know,
you learn a lot talking to dogs.Copy !req
432. - Really, you do.
- Yeah, man. So...Copy !req
433. Hey, man, how about this one?Copy !req
434. He don't look too friendly, my friend.Copy !req
435. Man, this is the one.
Hey, boy, how you doing?Copy !req
436. Hey, what about this one here?
Come here, boy.Copy !req
437. - Who, him?
- Yeah, why not?Copy !req
438. Hell, no. That is one ugly dog, man.Copy !req
439. I know, but it's kind of a cute ugly.
If you look at it closely, the color...Copy !req
440. it looks like old furniture, like some
kind of pirate-chest thing going on.Copy !req
441. Yeah, sure, man.
Hey, so how about a young one?Copy !req
442. Steps, forget him. Come over here.
I want you to see something.Copy !req
443. Now, you notice what this animal
is doing here? Lying in that position?Copy !req
444. He ain't doing nothing.Copy !req
445. No, he's doing a lot.
He ain't wasting no energy.Copy !req
446. Because he's dead.Copy !req
447. He ain't dead. There's a lot of
good mileage left on that animal.Copy !req
448. Good food, the addition of a couple
of new friends, bingo, he's back.Copy !req
449. - What do you think is a good name?
- It's your dog. You name him.Copy !req
450. No. It's, like,
a community animal. Fifty-fifty.Copy !req
451. Look, I don't know much
about no dogs.Copy !req
452. Well, it ain't that complicated.Copy !req
453. You pet him, you feed him,
and nature takes its course.Copy !req
454. You know, so...
Don't you wanna name an animal?Copy !req
455. Every guy should at one time
try to name an animal something.Copy !req
456. I don't know. Fleabag?Copy !req
457. It's catchy. It ain't original,
but it's pretty good.Copy !req
458. I think you could come up with,
in your young brain...Copy !req
459. something better to throw out
than Fleabag.Copy !req
460. Punchy. How's that?Copy !req
461. - Punchy?
- Yeah, Punchy.Copy !req
462. - I like it, you know.
- For real?Copy !req
463. Yeah, for real. Punchy it is. It's easy to
remember, it's not that hard to spell.Copy !req
464. And once it's in your brain, you never
forget it. Punchy. Very good.Copy !req
465. - All right, man.
- Good call.Copy !req
466. All right, Punchy. You ready
to get bailed out, my friend?Copy !req
467. Okay.Copy !req
468. Hey, you know
it was a joke, don't you?Copy !req
469. Yeah, I know.
You're a very funny guy.Copy !req
470. Rocky?Copy !req
471. The fans let him know
how they feel about it.Copy !req
472. - Excuse me.
- Sure.Copy !req
473. This could get ugly.Copy !req
474. - Rock.
- Yo, Paulie.Copy !req
475. They're gonna be talking about
that fake Looney Tune fight.Copy !req
476. Hey, come on. We're about
to serve today's special.Copy !req
477. Italian food cooked up by a bunch
of Mexicans ain't so special.Copy !req
478. Hey, yo.Copy !req
479. Hey, I skipped work for this.Copy !req
480. What an ugly dog.Copy !req
481. It's a cute dog.Copy !req
482. - Hey, Rock.
- Yeah?Copy !req
483. I'm gonna take off.
That stuff back there is pretty cool.Copy !req
484. - Oh, you like that?
- Yeah, man.Copy !req
485. - Thanks, I appreciate it.
- I'll catch you later.Copy !req
486. All right.Copy !req
487. - Who's the criminal?
- He's a nice kid.Copy !req
488. He dresses like a bum.Copy !req
489. Coming from a human hamper,
that's quite a compliment.Copy !req
490. Hide the silverware.Copy !req
491. That's nice.Copy !req
492. Hey, Spider.Copy !req
493. Didn't you knock out
that bum once?Copy !req
494. Will you give it a rest?Copy !req
495. I'm gonna be late for work for this.
Give me a break, huh?Copy !req
496. All right. Just for a few seconds.Copy !req
497. In the late '60s, a simulated fight
took place between two legends...Copy !req
498. Muhammad Ali
and Rocky Marciano.Copy !req
499. Marciano long retired,
and Ali unable to fight legitimately...Copy !req
500. for three years for having refused
induction into the armed forces...Copy !req
501. was in need of money,
and agreed to the dream match...Copy !req
502. whose outcome would be
decided by a computer.Copy !req
503. It's almost 35 years
since Rocky Marciano...Copy !req
504. won the much-disputed
computer decision...Copy !req
505. and guess what?
Not much has changed.Copy !req
506. Last week, Rocky Balboa
won a decisive fight...Copy !req
507. See? That's the cartoon fight
I'm telling you about.Copy !req
508. Yeah.Copy !req
509. A stunning knockout.Copy !req
510. Keep in mind, this is taking
the human factor out of it.Copy !req
511. - The computer says Balboa...
- Beautiful.Copy !req
512. would be triumphant, KO 13.
And here's some of the fallout:Copy !req
513. What started as a simple
form of entertainment...Copy !req
514. has become a rallying cry
for people who think...Copy !req
515. an old-school athlete like Balboa
could actually be better.Copy !req
516. Computer technology has to create
what isn't. That's just not responsible.Copy !req
517. Get therapy, will you?Copy !req
518. How do you think Balboa
would have done against Dixon?Copy !req
519. Badly. Personally, I think Balboa
was completely overrated.Copy !req
520. He owns a restaurant
in South Philly.Copy !req
521. What's the specialty,
pounded chicken?Copy !req
522. Anyway, I would have paid to see
the fight. Next topic, NAS CAR...Copy !req
523. and the controversy
that won't go away.Copy !req
524. Let's go back to Sunday's race...Copy !req
525. Hey, hey, hey, cheer up.Copy !req
526. It's free advertisement.
Come on. Meat house calls.Copy !req
527. Yo, Robert.Copy !req
528. What are you doing out so late?Copy !req
529. I tried calling,
but nothing was picking up.Copy !req
530. - Is something wrong?
- I just wanted to come by...Copy !req
531. and see you in person.
- Wanna come inside?Copy !req
532. No. I just wanna get
your opinion on something.Copy !req
533. Sure. Opinion on what?Copy !req
534. You know, they say you only
go around once, right?Copy !req
535. - Yeah, I've heard that.
- Well...Copy !req
536. I think I wanna, like,
do something.Copy !req
537. - Like what?
- Fight.Copy !req
538. You know, nothing big.
Small stuff, like locally. You know.Copy !req
539. Don't you think you're too,
you know, old?Copy !req
540. You think you ought to
stop trying things...Copy !req
541. because you had a few
too many birthdays? I do not.Copy !req
542. People will think you're crazy.Copy !req
543. What's crazy about standing
toe to toe saying, "I am," you know?Copy !req
544. That's just ego talking.Copy !req
545. What are you trying to prove
to other people, Pop?Copy !req
546. Prove? Listen, I stopped thinking...Copy !req
547. the way other people think
a long time ago.Copy !req
548. You gotta think like you think.Copy !req
549. - I do.
- Do you? Good.Copy !req
550. You gotta face reality, okay?
It's a different world now.Copy !req
551. Only the clothes is different.Copy !req
552. I really don't know
what you want from me.Copy !req
553. I just wanted us to get involved.
You know, like, home team.Copy !req
554. Look, whatever it is, whatever
you're going through, it'll pass.Copy !req
555. Yeah, you're probably right.Copy !req
556. Time is gonna catch up to all of us.Copy !req
557. - Especially if you're standing still.
- Hey, come on.Copy !req
558. Look, I'm gonna call you
in the morning.Copy !req
559. - Did you tell this to your kid?
- Yeah, I did.Copy !req
560. - What'd he think, you're nuts, right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
561. Oh, well, he don't believe in you?
Welcome to my world, buddy.Copy !req
562. Rocko, nobody's giving you
no title shot.Copy !req
563. I know that. I don't want one.Copy !req
564. So this isn't a mental disturbance?Copy !req
565. No.Copy !req
566. You're mad because
they took down your statue?Copy !req
567. No.Copy !req
568. Not really, no.Copy !req
569. If it's about money, just hang a sign
around your neck saying, "Punch me."Copy !req
570. Five dollars, you'll make big money.Copy !req
571. What? You haven't peaked yet?Copy !req
572. - Peaked?
- Yeah, peaked.Copy !req
573. I don't know. There's still
some stuff in the basement.Copy !req
574. - What basement?
- In here.Copy !req
575. Tell me about the stuff.Copy !req
576. - What about it?
- Tell me about the stuff inside.Copy !req
577. - Is it angry?
- Angry?Copy !req
578. Are you mad because
Adrian left you?Copy !req
579. She didn't leave, Paulie. She died.Copy !req
580. Okay. Okay, okay, okay.Copy !req
581. You know, sometimes
it's hard to breathe.Copy !req
582. You know, I feel, like,
this beast inside me.Copy !req
583. It's okay, Rocko. Please, it's okay.Copy !req
584. Is it okay?Copy !req
585. I just never knew it was
supposed to be this hard.Copy !req
586. It wasn't supposed to be like this,
Paulie. You know, it...Copy !req
587. So you wanna come by
and help me train?Copy !req
588. I got a job here.Copy !req
589. I understand.Copy !req
590. Remember you said if you stay
one place long enough...Copy !req
591. you become that place?Copy !req
592. Rocko, this is all I got.Copy !req
593. I understand, Paulie. I do.Copy !req
594. If you get time and come down
and see me train, I'd appreciate it.Copy !req
595. Of course, Rocko.Copy !req
596. Bye, Paulie.Copy !req
597. Goodbye, Rocko.Copy !req
598. Goodbye, Rocko.Copy !req
599. Take care, Rocko.Copy !req
600. This plenary session of the
Pennsylvania Athletic Commission...Copy !req
601. is convened in order to consider
the application of Rocky Balboa...Copy !req
602. for the issuance of a discretionary
professional boxing license...Copy !req
603. due to his ineligibility to be
licensed as a matter of right.Copy !req
604. Mr. Balboa, you're welcome here.
Since you're representing yourself...Copy !req
605. we invite you to make an opening
statement, if you'd like to.Copy !req
606. No, I was just curious how I did,
that's all.Copy !req
607. All right, well, the Medical
Advisory Board has informed us...Copy !req
608. that the battery of tests
to which you've been subjected...Copy !req
609. you've passed these tests
with flying colors.Copy !req
610. And we congratulate you for that.Copy !req
611. - Thanks.
- However, this commission...Copy !req
612. in good conscience,
cannot recommend you for a license...Copy !req
613. and we therefore deny
your application.Copy !req
614. - Didn't I do what you asked?
- Yes, you did.Copy !req
615. So I should get a license, right?Copy !req
616. Not exactly.Copy !req
617. So why did you give me all them tests
if you was never passing me?Copy !req
618. We've gotta stand by
our decision here...Copy !req
619. and we have to deny your request
for a license at this time.Copy !req
620. Yo, don't I got some rights?Copy !req
621. What rights do you think
you're referring to?Copy !req
622. Like in that official paper
they wrote down the street?Copy !req
623. - That's the Bill of Rights.
- Bill of Rights.Copy !req
624. Don't it say something about going
after what makes you happy?Copy !req
625. No, that's "the pursuit of happiness."
But what's your point?Copy !req
626. My point is I'm pursuing something,
and nobody looks too happy about it.Copy !req
627. But we're just looking out
for your interests.Copy !req
628. I appreciate that, but maybe you're
looking out for your interests more.Copy !req
629. You shouldn't ask people to come here
and pay the freight on something.Copy !req
630. They pay, it still ain't good enough.
You think that's right?Copy !req
631. Maybe you're doing your job, but why
you gotta stop me from doing mine?Copy !req
632. If you're willing to go through all the
battling to get where you want to get...Copy !req
633. who's got the right to stop you?Copy !req
634. Maybe you got something you never
finished, something you wanna do.Copy !req
635. Something you never said
to somebody, something!Copy !req
636. And you're told no,
even after you pay your dues.Copy !req
637. Who's got the right
to tell you that? Who? Nobody!Copy !req
638. It's your right to listen to your gut.
It's nobody's right to say no...Copy !req
639. after you earn the right to be what you
wanna be or do what you wanna do!Copy !req
640. The older I get, the more things
I gotta leave behind. That's life.Copy !req
641. The only thing I'm asking you guys
to leave on the table is what's right.Copy !req
642. Yo! Have you seen
the paper today?Copy !req
643. Front row. Front row.Copy !req
644. That is so great.Copy !req
645. - All right, all right.
- Let's go get some food. Food.Copy !req
646. - Let's get a beer. Come on.
- Come on.Copy !req
647. The last two pay-per-views
were in the toilet.Copy !req
648. You're not making
heavyweight-championship money.Copy !req
649. There's a bunch of nobodies
out there, Mase.Copy !req
650. I wanna talk to you about an
opportunity we should run with.Copy !req
651. Look at me. You heard Rocky Balboa
applied for a license and got one?Copy !req
652. - I heard. Forget about him.
- Hear me out.Copy !req
653. You want me to fight a guy I can beat
with both hands tied behind my back.Copy !req
654. Everybody knows you could beat him
sitting down. That's not what it's about.Copy !req
655. It's about making money. We gotta
capitalize on that computer fight.Copy !req
656. This could do a million buys.
That's 15, 20 million to you.Copy !req
657. - Forget it.
- No one's beating the door down...Copy !req
658. to watch you fight anymore.
- We got guaranteed fights.Copy !req
659. You wanna do this now in front
of your friends, we'll do it now.Copy !req
660. We got nothing. All the pay-per-view
fights you come up with got rejected.Copy !req
661. You know why? They're all bums
out there. Nobody cares about them.Copy !req
662. There's no marquee value.
But this Balboa thing is interesting.Copy !req
663. - I don't wanna do it.
- Listen to me.Copy !req
664. It's a has-been, never-gonna-be world.
Call it nostalgia, whatever you want...Copy !req
665. but people relate to that stuff.
This is a no-lose. It's all good.Copy !req
666. - Good for who?
- For you! Not for me! For you!Copy !req
667. Maybe you don't understand.
People don't like you no more.Copy !req
668. They don't follow you. They're not
supporting you anymore. Understand?Copy !req
669. Don't look at me like
I'm messing with your legacy.Copy !req
670. Every jock now thinks
they got a legacy.Copy !req
671. A legacy is what you get instead
of getting paid. That's a legacy.Copy !req
672. - Don't talk to me like I'm stupid.
- I'm not no more.Copy !req
673. Everybody knows you could kick
this old man's ass. But you don't.Copy !req
674. Leave him with a little
dignity, so they say:Copy !req
675. "Mason Dixon's got compassion.
He's a decent guy, he's a nice guy."Copy !req
676. You get a whole new audience,
we'll double your money.Copy !req
677. You want a new image?
That's how you get it.Copy !req
678. To replace the one
that you two made?Copy !req
679. Whoa, wait. We made your
world green. You made the rest.Copy !req
680. This is you.
You made all this junk happen.Copy !req
681. I've had it up to here with this mess.Copy !req
682. Time for me to make changes.
I'm going to Martin's gym.Copy !req
683. - We'll talk about it.
- Forget this crap.Copy !req
684. I want Martin back.
There's nothing to talk about.Copy !req
685. - How you doing?
- Hey, what a surprise.Copy !req
686. I was driving around
the neighborhood, I thought...Copy !req
687. why not drive by and say hello?
- You wanna come inside?Copy !req
688. No, the dog needs some exercise.
You wanna take a little walk?Copy !req
689. - Yeah, yeah. All right.
- It's nice outside.Copy !req
690. - All right.
- Nice and brisk.Copy !req
691. When did you get a dog?Copy !req
692. We picked up Punchy
a couple of days back.Copy !req
693. - Punchy?
- Yeah.Copy !req
694. You named your dog Punchy?Copy !req
695. Your kid come up with the name.Copy !req
696. Oh, yeah?
I think that's disrespectful.Copy !req
697. Oh, no, no. It's fine, really.Copy !req
698. No, it's easy to remember
and it's all that, you know.Copy !req
699. Listen, what do you think about
coming over to the restaurant?Copy !req
700. - What for?
- Well, you know, for, like...Copy !req
701. For work. The hostess is gonna
be having a kid. You'd do good.Copy !req
702. - I don't know.
- I'm telling you, you'd do so good.Copy !req
703. I appreciate what you're doing
for my kid, but I can't.Copy !req
704. Hey, listen, I think you'd like it a lot.Copy !req
705. It's a nice environment,
it's very pleasant.Copy !req
706. Yeah, can we drop it?Copy !req
707. What's bothering you?Copy !req
708. Nothing. It's all right.
Listen, I gotta get back.Copy !req
709. - No, it ain't all right.
- Oh, come on.Copy !req
710. - What?
- I'm gonna be the first person...Copy !req
711. people see when they walk in?
- You give out menus.Copy !req
712. You say, "Hello, how are you?"
You sit people down.Copy !req
713. Look, if I can do it,
anybody can do it.Copy !req
714. You could find 10 better people,
a hundred better people for this job.Copy !req
715. Give it a try, like two weeks.Copy !req
716. I don't wanna try.Copy !req
717. - Who put this stuff in your head?
- Nobody.Copy !req
718. Well, it just don't
get in there by itself.Copy !req
719. Thanks for coming by.Copy !req
720. Yo, when was the last time you
went dancing? Has it been a while?Copy !req
721. - Why are you asking?
- I'm asking because...Copy !req
722. you dance around these problems,
you might as well dance with me.Copy !req
723. I ain't that good,
but I'm better than the average bear.Copy !req
724. Where that came from, I don't know.Copy !req
725. - You're crazy.
- A little bit.Copy !req
726. But the way you're thinking
and talking, it's a little crazy too.Copy !req
727. Come on, you deserve better.
Really. Come on over.Copy !req
728. I need you to class my place up.
Philly needs you.Copy !req
729. And if you say, "Screw you, creepo"
again, I totally understand.Copy !req
730. But I'm warning you,
I'm gonna put myself...Copy !req
731. in the middle of the street here...Copy !req
732. and stand here, me and Punchy,
and wave to the first bus, say:Copy !req
733. "Come on over here and mash me!Copy !req
734. Little Marie turned down
the job at the restaurant.Copy !req
735. She thinks she's better than us."Copy !req
736. Oh, yeah? Well, there hasn't been
a bus down here in 20 years.Copy !req
737. - Yeah?
- No.Copy !req
738. That was a close call.Copy !req
739. Listen, seriously. Come on over.
It'd be nice.Copy !req
740. All right.Copy !req
741. Paulie!Copy !req
742. Sorry, Paulie.Copy !req
743. Sorry.Copy !req
744. How are you?
Get my unusual up there.Copy !req
745. Excuse me.
Deliveries are in the back.Copy !req
746. I'm not a delivery guy.Copy !req
747. Well, do you have a reservation?Copy !req
748. Do I look like a freaking Indian?Copy !req
749. Hey, Rock? Rocky?Copy !req
750. I think we've got a little bit
of a problem with this guy.Copy !req
751. Problem?
No, no, he's just a relative.Copy !req
752. Oh, okay.Copy !req
753. Yo, Paulie.Copy !req
754. - What happened to your eye?
- I hit it.Copy !req
755. - Why?
- Needed to.Copy !req
756. What happened?Copy !req
757. - I'm celebrating, Rock.
- Why?Copy !req
758. - I retired.
- Retired?Copy !req
759. So when did they start
giving retired people meat...Copy !req
760. instead of watches, Paulie?Copy !req
761. I don't need a watch.Copy !req
762. I got a watch! You gave me a watch!Copy !req
763. Paulie...Copy !req
764. I don't need no goddamn watch.Copy !req
765. - Yo, Paulie.
- I got a watch!Copy !req
766. I got two watches!Copy !req
767. Yo, Paulie!Copy !req
768. Yo, Paulie.Copy !req
769. Rock.Copy !req
770. It takes guts climbing back in that ring,
knowing you're gonna take a beating.Copy !req
771. You're gonna do all right, Rocko.Copy !req
772. How do you know that?Copy !req
773. The stuff in the basement.Copy !req
774. Thanks, Paulie.Copy !req
775. - Hey.
- Hey, Rock, how are you?Copy !req
776. - You okay?
- Yeah, good. How are you?Copy !req
777. - Yeah, fine. This is great.
- Good.Copy !req
778. Listen, some guys over there
wanna talk to you.Copy !req
779. - Okay. You got it.
- Okay?Copy !req
780. - Thanks for coming by. I appreciate it.
- Our pleasure.Copy !req
781. - Wanna hear stories?
- What kind of stories?Copy !req
782. Well, a lot of people like to hear
these old fight stories.Copy !req
783. - Maybe later.
- Okay.Copy !req
784. I'm Lou DiBella. This is L.C. Luco.
He's Mason Dixon's manager.Copy !req
785. - Will you sit down and join us?
- Sure.Copy !req
786. You know, we have the promotional
contract for Mason Dixon...Copy !req
787. who's a big fan.
- Really?Copy !req
788. When he heard you were
interested in fighting...Copy !req
789. he thought why not try
to work something out?Copy !req
790. Like a special event.
Like a first-class exhibition fight.Copy !req
791. - Why me?
- He respects the hell out of you.Copy !req
792. All right? And let's be honest,
that computer fight got people curious.Copy !req
793. - This could be very interesting.
- I ain't interested...Copy !req
794. in getting, like,
mangled and embarrassed.Copy !req
795. No, that's not gonna happen.
Never happen.Copy !req
796. Truthfully, I was thinking
more on a, like...Copy !req
797. miniscule, small level.
You know. Small fights, not big fights.Copy !req
798. Small fights. Things that...
Local. You know what I mean?Copy !req
799. Not a bad idea. Don't think of it as big.
Think of it like an exhibition.Copy !req
800. Think of it as a glorified sparring
session. Here's something you'll like.Copy !req
801. We're gonna donate a portion
of the gate to charity.Copy !req
802. - That's always nice.
- It's good to give.Copy !req
803. Yeah.Copy !req
804. Where's it taking place?Copy !req
805. - Las Vegas.
- Las Vegas.Copy !req
806. Nice and warm.
This cold's gotta be killing you.Copy !req
807. - Little stiff.
- You move better when you're warmer.Copy !req
808. - Yeah.
- And if nothing else...Copy !req
809. you'll have new stories to tell.Copy !req
810. - I really gotta think about this.
- Absolutely.Copy !req
811. - Is that okay?
- I understand. No problem.Copy !req
812. I'm gonna go over there.
You can order something.Copy !req
813. - What do you recommend?
- It's all edible.Copy !req
814. Okay. Thanks.Copy !req
815. We got him. Imagine if Dixon
met this bastard in his prime?Copy !req
816. - He'd kill him. Kill him.
- You ain't kidding.Copy !req
817. Man, I'm confused.Copy !req
818. I didn't think this was gonna
come along.Copy !req
819. But this is what you wanted, right?Copy !req
820. I don't know.
You know, I talk and I talk.Copy !req
821. Sometimes I think
what I'm saying is true...Copy !req
822. and then I look at myself and I'm
not even sure what is true anymore.Copy !req
823. Because it's like, I pushed
this crazy idea about fighting.Copy !req
824. I mean, what's it all about?Copy !req
825. Do I really care about standing
toe to toe and all that stuff...Copy !req
826. or, like my kid says,
is it just, like, ego?Copy !req
827. Or am I this old pug who's just trying
to replace old pain with new pain?Copy !req
828. I don't know. I don't know.Copy !req
829. Look, I know
I usually don't say a lot.Copy !req
830. I'm always listening and looking.Copy !req
831. But who you are, the part of you
that's so full of life...Copy !req
832. we all have that feeling, that fire...Copy !req
833. but usually never get a chance
to use it. And then it just goes away.Copy !req
834. But you can. You've got this
opportunity, so do it. Why not?Copy !req
835. I mean, this is who you are.
This is who you'll always be.Copy !req
836. And you don't move aside for nobody
until you're ready to move.Copy !req
837. And it doesn't matter
how this looks to other people.Copy !req
838. All that matters
is how it looks to you.Copy !req
839. Rocky.Copy !req
840. Rocky, look at me.Copy !req
841. How it looks to you.Copy !req
842. And if this is something
that you wanna do...Copy !req
843. and if this is something that
you gotta do, then you do it.Copy !req
844. Fighters fight.Copy !req
845. You're not gonna punch me,
are you?Copy !req
846. Listen, I gotta go before I wear out
my welcome. I'll see you tomorrow.Copy !req
847. Thanks.Copy !req
848. Fighters fight, right?Copy !req
849. It's rare when you get to promote
an event bigger than boxing. This is.Copy !req
850. Skill versus will, with part
of the proceeds going to charity.Copy !req
851. The brainchild of Mason Dixon,
to honor past heavyweight champions.Copy !req
852. Warriors like Rocky Balboa.
Let's open it up for questions.Copy !req
853. Hey, champ!Copy !req
854. A few great fighters have fought in
their 50s, often with disastrous results.Copy !req
855. Why risk the danger
and embarrassment?Copy !req
856. The smart money says
you have virtually no chance.Copy !req
857. A puncher always has a chance.
This fight will be competitive.Copy !req
858. Why are you doing this, Rocky?Copy !req
859. I don't know, I'd rather do
something I love badly than...Copy !req
860. Than to feel bad by not
doing something you love.Copy !req
861. Rocky, the press has labeled you
a Balboasaurus.Copy !req
862. How do you feel about that?Copy !req
863. Let's say the following happens:
You win, we'll say you beat an old guy.Copy !req
864. You lose, say a thumb in the eye,
you'll be the joke of the decade.Copy !req
865. You all know that will never happen.
This is only an exhibition.Copy !req
866. Don't go trying to make more out
of this than that computer tried.Copy !req
867. Isn't this sport in enough trouble
without these circus events?Copy !req
868. - Next question.
- On the surface, this looks like...Copy !req
869. a cheap bit of ring theater
between, no offense...Copy !req
870. a has-been and a man
whose own credible legacy...Copy !req
871. and popularity is in doubt.Copy !req
872. - What's the upside?
- Doubt?Copy !req
873. Upside? I mean...Copy !req
874. What do you mean, upside?
I mean, what do I have to do?Copy !req
875. You know, I'm 33-0
with 30 knockouts.Copy !req
876. I'm doing you people a favor.
I'm having this exhibition for you.Copy !req
877. You gonna get up here and make
a mockery out of me? I'm the champ.Copy !req
878. I mean, I get pissed,
this guy get hurt.Copy !req
879. See you at the fight.Copy !req
880. The guy's a joke.
He's gonna get crushed.Copy !req
881. - Look who's here.
- How you doing?Copy !req
882. - Have you seen my father?
- He's in the back.Copy !req
883. This place has never served
this many meals. It's unbelievable.Copy !req
884. You're doing good? Hope you're
enjoying everything, all right?Copy !req
885. Excuse me.Copy !req
886. How you doing? Glad you come by.Copy !req
887. Can I talk with you?Copy !req
888. - Sure.
- Can we do it outside?Copy !req
889. - So you're going through with this?
- I start training tomorrow.Copy !req
890. Hey, Rock.
I made some connections.Copy !req
891. I can make some money
on this, endorsements.Copy !req
892. Absolutely. Do that.Copy !req
893. - Thank you, Rock. Okay.
- Sure.Copy !req
894. - So you nervous about the fight?
- Scared to death.Copy !req
895. - You don't look scared.
- Well, I ain't supposed to.Copy !req
896. Then you don't have to do it.Copy !req
897. Yeah, well, I think I do.Copy !req
898. You know, living with you,
it hasn't been easy.Copy !req
899. People see me
but they think of you.Copy !req
900. Now with all this going on,
it's gonna be worse than ever.Copy !req
901. - It don't have to be.
- Sure it does!Copy !req
902. - Why? You've got a lot going on, kid.
- What, my last name?Copy !req
903. That's the reason I got a decent job.Copy !req
904. That's why people deal with me
in the first place.Copy !req
905. Now I start to get a little ahead...Copy !req
906. I start to get a little something
for myself, and this happens.Copy !req
907. Now, I'm asking you as a favor
not to go through with this.Copy !req
908. This is gonna end up bad for you,
and it's gonna end up bad for me.Copy !req
909. - You think I'm hurting you?
- Yeah. In a way, you are.Copy !req
910. That's the last thing
I ever wanted to do.Copy !req
911. I know that's not what you wanna do,
but that's just the way that it is.Copy !req
912. Don't you care what people think?
Doesn't it bother you that people...Copy !req
913. are making you out to be a joke
and that I'll be included in that?Copy !req
914. Do you think that's right? Do you?Copy !req
915. You ain't gonna believe this,
but you used to fit right here.Copy !req
916. I'd hold you up
and say to your mother:Copy !req
917. "This kid is gonna be
the best kid in the world.Copy !req
918. This kid is gonna be somebody
better than anybody ever knew."Copy !req
919. And you grew up
good and wonderful.Copy !req
920. It was great just watching,
every day was like a privilege.Copy !req
921. Then the time come for you to be
your own man and take on the world...Copy !req
922. and you did. But somewhere
along the line, you changed.Copy !req
923. You stopped being you.Copy !req
924. You let people stick a finger in
your face and tell you you're no good.Copy !req
925. And when things got hard, you started
looking for something to blame...Copy !req
926. like a big shadow.Copy !req
927. Let me tell you something
you already know.Copy !req
928. The world ain't all
sunshine and rainbows.Copy !req
929. It's a very mean and nasty place,
and I don't care how tough you are...Copy !req
930. it will beat you to your knees
and keep you there if you let it.Copy !req
931. You, me or nobody
is gonna hit as hard as life.Copy !req
932. But it ain't about how hard you hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit...Copy !req
933. and keep moving forward.Copy !req
934. How much you can take
and keep moving forward.Copy !req
935. That's how winning is done!Copy !req
936. If you know what you're worth,
go and get what you're worth.Copy !req
937. But you gotta be willing to take
the hits, and not pointing fingers...Copy !req
938. saying you ain't where you wanna be
because of him or her or anybody!Copy !req
939. Cowards do that, and that ain't you!
You're better than that!Copy !req
940. I'm always gonna love you
no matter what.Copy !req
941. No matter what happens.Copy !req
942. You're my son and you're my blood.Copy !req
943. You're the best thing in my life.Copy !req
944. But until you start believing in
yourself, you ain't gonna have a life.Copy !req
945. Don't forget to visit your mother.Copy !req
946. - Yeah, those are beautiful.
- Yeah.Copy !req
947. - You get off early from work?
- No.Copy !req
948. I left.Copy !req
949. I quit.Copy !req
950. Quit, why?Copy !req
951. I wasn't very...Copy !req
952. I don't know, I just...
I didn't fit in there.Copy !req
953. I understand.Copy !req
954. - So, what are you gonna do?
- Right now?Copy !req
955. Right now I'd rather be with you.Copy !req
956. Is that all right?Copy !req
957. Yeah.Copy !req
958. It's been a long time
since I seen a fight.Copy !req
959. You know all there is
to know about fighting...Copy !req
960. You know all there is
to know about fighting...Copy !req
961. so there's no sense us going down
that same old road again.Copy !req
962. To beat this guy, you need speed.
You don't have it.Copy !req
963. And your knees can't take the
pounding, so hard running is out.Copy !req
964. And you got arthritis in your neck.
And you've got calcium deposits...Copy !req
965. on most of your joints,
so sparring is out.Copy !req
966. I had that problem.Copy !req
967. So what we'll be calling on is good
old-fashioned blunt-force trauma.Copy !req
968. Horsepower. Heavy-duty,
cast-iron, pile-driving punches...Copy !req
969. that will have to hurt so much
they'll rattle his ancestors.Copy !req
970. Every time you hit him with a shot...Copy !req
971. it's gotta feel like he tried kissing
the express train.Copy !req
972. Yeah! Let's start building
some hurting bombs.Copy !req
973. - Yeah, you'll get it.
- You can do it, Rocko!Copy !req
974. Getting stronger!Copy !req
975. - Up! Up! Up!
- Come on!Copy !req
976. Go!Copy !req
977. - Yeah!
- Yeah! Yeah!Copy !req
978. Come on, Rocko!Copy !req
979. Come on. Come on.
Let's hit them. Hit them.Copy !req
980. You can do it, Rock.Copy !req
981. Getting stronger!Copy !req
982. - Up, up, up!
- Go! Go!Copy !req
983. All right!Copy !req
984. Yeah! Yeah!Copy !req
985. Yeah!Copy !req
986. Rocky Balboa, 217!Copy !req
987. The undisputed heavyweight
champion, Mason Dixon, 221!Copy !req
988. Thank you very much.
I appreciate it, champ. Thanks a lot.Copy !req
989. Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!Copy !req
990. - Know how much money is in this?
- A lot of it.Copy !req
991. Imagine trying to clean this place.Copy !req
992. - No, seriously.
- Balboa!Copy !req
993. You guys, I'll catch up
with you all later, okay?Copy !req
994. Robert, why don't
you hang with me?Copy !req
995. - How you doing, champ?
- I'm good.Copy !req
996. No reason for neither one of us
to get hurt in this fight.Copy !req
997. I'll do my best to carry you,
make sure you save face.Copy !req
998. There'd be no embarrassment.Copy !req
999. But I promise you, you try to press me,
you hit me, you hurt me...Copy !req
1000. you hit me low, cheap-shot me,
I'll get you out of there.Copy !req
1001. You know, a lot of people come
to Vegas to lose. I didn't.Copy !req
1002. It's already over.Copy !req
1003. Ain't nothing over till it's over.Copy !req
1004. What's that from, the '80s?Copy !req
1005. That's probably the '70s.Copy !req
1006. Just remember what I said.Copy !req
1007. Hey, yo, champ.Copy !req
1008. Yo, ain't you a little scared?Copy !req
1009. I don't get scared.Copy !req
1010. I think you try a little harder
when you're scared.Copy !req
1011. This is what has worked for me.Copy !req
1012. - I ain't scared.
- Oh, yeah. You ain't scared of me?Copy !req
1013. Come on, let's see what you got.
Come on.Copy !req
1014. Hey, don't hit me, I'm brittle.Copy !req
1015. - Hey.
- Hi.Copy !req
1016. - How you doing?
- I was just thinking.Copy !req
1017. - Did you wanna come in?
- No, no, no, it's okay.Copy !req
1018. I just wanted to...Copy !req
1019. I don' t know, come by and wish you
good luck for tomorrow.Copy !req
1020. - Thanks.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1021. I brought you something.Copy !req
1022. I hope you don't mind,
I took it from the restaurant.Copy !req
1023. - No.
- Thanks.Copy !req
1024. Adrian.Copy !req
1025. Yeah. Thought she would
keep you safe.Copy !req
1026. Yeah. Yeah, she always
brought me luck.Copy !req
1027. Yeah.Copy !req
1028. I wanted to say thanks for everything
you've done for me and my kid.Copy !req
1029. You've been great and...Copy !req
1030. You know, tomorrow...Copy !req
1031. you're gonna prove that the last thing
to age on somebody is their heart.Copy !req
1032. - I'll try.
- You go show them.Copy !req
1033. Thank you.Copy !req
1034. The heavyweight championship
has been...Copy !req
1035. one of sports' most coveted titles
for 120 years.Copy !req
1036. Two-time heavyweight champion
Rocky Balboa...Copy !req
1037. the Philadelphia slugger,
renowned for his cast-iron jaw...Copy !req
1038. ferocious body attack
and will of steel...Copy !req
1039. all of which have carried
the smaller fighter to victories...Copy !req
1040. over the years against
physically superior opponents.Copy !req
1041. And Mason Dixon, the current
heavyweight title holder...Copy !req
1042. with all the speed, determination
and confidence any fighter could want.Copy !req
1043. But many still question whether
he has the heart of a true champion...Copy !req
1044. never having been pushed to go
the distance. Tonight, we find out.Copy !req
1045. Here at the Mandalay Bay
Event Center in Las Vegas...Copy !req
1046. for the much-anticipated
showdown...Copy !req
1047. between Mason
"The Line" Dixon...Copy !req
1048. and Rocky
"The Italian Stallion" Balboa.Copy !req
1049. Hello, I'm Jim Lampley with
Larry Merchant and Max Kellerman...Copy !req
1050. live from the Mandalay Bay Hotel
in Las Vegas, where we anticipate...Copy !req
1051. one of the most outrageous and
compelling events in boxing history.Copy !req
1052. The unappreciated heavyweight
champion, Mason "The Line" Dixon...Copy !req
1053. putting his reputation
on the line...Copy !req
1054. against legendary ex-champion,
Rocky Balboa.Copy !req
1055. Even though most see this as more
of a glorified sparring session...Copy !req
1056. the energy in the room is electric.Copy !req
1057. Larry, why is this billed
as an exhibition?Copy !req
1058. Wild guess: So they wouldn't
have to call it an execution.Copy !req
1059. Zacariah 4:6 says,
"It is not by strength, not by might...Copy !req
1060. but by his spirit
we have already claimed the victory...Copy !req
1061. in our Lord Jesus Christ."Copy !req
1062. Good luck, Rocky.Copy !req
1063. Thanks, Spider. Appreciate it.Copy !req
1064. Nobody's expecting much, I think,
from the way-past-his-prime...Copy !req
1065. former champ, Rocky Balboa.Copy !req
1066. Rock, I gotta talk to you.Copy !req
1067. Look, I know you got a lot of stuff
you gotta get out of your system.Copy !req
1068. Tonight you do it. Right?
Get rid of the damn beast...Copy !req
1069. let it be done, once and for all.
Please, I love you.Copy !req
1070. Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!Copy !req
1071. There go the lights. The buzz is
building toward a roaring crescendo.Copy !req
1072. Where did that come from?Copy !req
1073. I told you. I love Sinatra.Copy !req
1074. He's very good, Sinatra.Copy !req
1075. - Let's go.
- Very good.Copy !req
1076. And here comes Rocky Balboa,
veteran of the wars...Copy !req
1077. here for one more last hurrah.Copy !req
1078. Or the Last Supper, perhaps,
with him as the main course.Copy !req
1079. What's that music?
You can't be serious.Copy !req
1080. "High Hopes"?
Talk about wishful thinking.Copy !req
1081. Well, maybe no hopes is more
realistic. Anyway, the crowd likes it.Copy !req
1082. Look at the Italian Stallion.
Cool and relaxed.Copy !req
1083. Rocky's an off-the-board underdog,
and they don't care at all.Copy !req
1084. This is about his pride and dignity
and his punch, guys.Copy !req
1085. The last thing to go
is a guy's punch.Copy !req
1086. Rocky always has
that puncher's chance.Copy !req
1087. Rocky Balboa is still, as you can hear,
the people's champion.Copy !req
1088. Prediction, guys:
For at least two rounds...Copy !req
1089. Dixon's gonna have
his hands full.Copy !req
1090. Two whole rounds? We have
a cockeyed optimist in the house.Copy !req
1091. - How you doing?
- The crowd wants to see...Copy !req
1092. something real, or at least...Copy !req
1093. Rocky Balboa just asked me
how I'm doing.Copy !req
1094. I grew up watching this guy. I never
thought I'd be calling one of his fights.Copy !req
1095. This is unbelievable.
I'm a fan, I can't help it.Copy !req
1096. Now here comes Mason Dixon.Copy !req
1097. Mason Dixon establishing
his presence in the ring.Copy !req
1098. And suddenly now a conversation
breaking out at ringside.Copy !req
1099. Mike Tyson calling out
Mason "The Line" Dixon.Copy !req
1100. You can't call no shots here.
I'm the champ.Copy !req
1101. You not doing nothing.
This is charity work.Copy !req
1102. You got that midget
with you right there.Copy !req
1103. Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the Mandalay Bay...Copy !req
1104. resort and casino of Las Vegas.Copy !req
1105. And a special main event
of the evening...Copy !req
1106. 10 rounds of
heavyweight excitement...Copy !req
1107. sanctioned by the Nevada
State Athletic Commission.Copy !req
1108. And when the bell rings, the referee
in charge of the action, Joe Cortez.Copy !req
1109. And now, for the thousands
in attendance...Copy !req
1110. and the millions watching around
the world, ladies and gentlemen...Copy !req
1111. let's get ready to rumble!Copy !req
1112. Introducing first,
fighting out of the blue corner...Copy !req
1113. wearing black with gold,
official weight, 217 pounds.Copy !req
1114. His professional record, 57 victories
including 54 knockouts...Copy !req
1115. with 23 defeats and one draw.Copy !req
1116. He is the fighting pride
of Philadelphia...Copy !req
1117. the two-time heavyweight
champion of the world...Copy !req
1118. "The Italian Stallion"...Copy !req
1119. Rocky...Copy !req
1120. Balboa!Copy !req
1121. Hope he gets his head busted.Copy !req
1122. Shut up.Copy !req
1123. Across the ring,
fighting out of the red corner...Copy !req
1124. wearing white with blue,
official weight, 221 pounds.Copy !req
1125. He has a perfect professional record,
consisting of 33 bouts...Copy !req
1126. 33 victories,
including 30 knockouts.Copy !req
1127. Originally from Tampa, Florida...Copy !req
1128. but now fighting out
of Las Vegas, Nevada...Copy !req
1129. the reigning undisputed,
undefeated...Copy !req
1130. heavyweight champion
of the world...Copy !req
1131. Mason "The Line"...Copy !req
1132. Dixon!Copy !req
1133. All right, gentlemen.Copy !req
1134. All right, Mason, Rocky. We went
over the rules in the dressing room.Copy !req
1135. I expect a good, clean fight. Watch
the kidney punches, rabbit punches...Copy !req
1136. low blows, be careful with those.
Give me good sportsmanlike conduct.Copy !req
1137. Remember, gentlemen, I'm fair
but I'm firm. Touch them up!Copy !req
1138. - Enjoy the ride.
- The champ is not in the best shape...Copy !req
1139. we've seen him in. Maybe he plans
to phone this in and go home early.Copy !req
1140. - That wouldn't be a surprise.
- Glad you could make it.Copy !req
1141. One thing about Rocky
we know for sure:Copy !req
1142. This guy's showing up in shape.Copy !req
1143. - The old man's crazy.
- He's gotta be crazy. He's in here.Copy !req
1144. - Okay.
- Take it easy. This is an exhibition.Copy !req
1145. All right? Do it to him.Copy !req
1146. You got three rounds to set a pace.
Every time you hit him, make a dent.Copy !req
1147. - Got it.
- The moments before...Copy !req
1148. a Rocky Balboa fight?
I can't believe it's here!Copy !req
1149. Round one begins.Copy !req
1150. If old George Foreman shocked
the world with one punch...Copy !req
1151. why can't old Rocky Balboa?Copy !req
1152. And as much excitement
as there is in the arena...Copy !req
1153. there's a sense of foreboding
as well.Copy !req
1154. And now, Mason "The Line" Dixon
goes to work with his jab as though...Copy !req
1155. he's fighting against the number one
challenger in the heavyweight division.Copy !req
1156. See, this is to be expected early on.Copy !req
1157. You knew the champ would
control the distance with his jab...Copy !req
1158. his height, his range.Copy !req
1159. Balboa looking to get in a shot,
misses wildly.Copy !req
1160. Did you like that?Copy !req
1161. It looks like a speed bag
against a punching bag.Copy !req
1162. Rocky's understandably frustrated...Copy !req
1163. but he came out of retirement
to get into a fight.Copy !req
1164. Guys named Rocky
don't like to be toyed with.Copy !req
1165. One punch could still turn it around.Copy !req
1166. Apparently he forgot
his arthritis meds this morning.Copy !req
1167. Rocky misses.Copy !req
1168. There's a meat-seeking missile
on the point of the chin by the champ.Copy !req
1169. - More pinpoint jabs by Dixon.
- Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!Copy !req
1170. And there's a hard right hand
and a left and a right by Balboa!Copy !req
1171. He drives Dixon into the ropes
with a series of shots!Copy !req
1172. And the crowd goes berserk!Copy !req
1173. Dixon punishing Balboa for
the temerity of landing those shots.Copy !req
1174. It's toe to toe in the corner.
Balboa and Dixon letting it all go.Copy !req
1175. Balboa landing potent combinations
to the head of the champion.Copy !req
1176. A wake-up call for Dixon.Copy !req
1177. - You all right?
- Yeah, I'm all right.Copy !req
1178. - The man's got bricks in his gloves.
- Where's the stuff in the basement?Copy !req
1179. - It's still there.
- He came to battle, okay?Copy !req
1180. - Trying to knock me out.
- Listen.Copy !req
1181. If there's a bone he can break,
he's gonna do it.Copy !req
1182. - Give the man respect.
- What about my respect?Copy !req
1183. CompuBox numbers
tell the grisly story here.Copy !req
1184. Balboa landed nine of 13
punches in that round.Copy !req
1185. Dixon landed an incredible
59 out of 69.Copy !req
1186. - Why don't you listen to me?
- Rocky's been here a million times.Copy !req
1187. Coming out to start a round after
he took a beating in the previous one.Copy !req
1188. - Remember what I said, okay?
- I warned him. I warned him.Copy !req
1189. He's tired. His legs are going fast,
or already gone.Copy !req
1190. And what's truly extraordinary
is that Rocky can still take it.Copy !req
1191. The boxing commission, which
was criticized for licensing him...Copy !req
1192. would be massacred
if something happened to Rocky.Copy !req
1193. And a monstrous straight left hand!
Down goes Rocky!Copy !req
1194. And that could conceivably
be the end of the fight!Copy !req
1195. That could be the exhibition
right there. But no. Balboa up.Copy !req
1196. Referee Joe Cortez asks if he wants
to continue, and Rocky says yes.Copy !req
1197. Even Rocky Balboa could be
too brave for his own good.Copy !req
1198. Dixon comes right back to try to
finish it. Balboa almost went down!Copy !req
1199. Rocky actually shoves Dixon back.Copy !req
1200. As Dixon lands these brutal shots.Copy !req
1201. - Cover up! Cover up!
- Open shots at close range.Copy !req
1202. Right and left hands,
and down goes Balboa!Copy !req
1203. Perhaps for the last time
in his fighting career!Copy !req
1204. - That should do it.
- Three! Four!Copy !req
1205. Five! Six!Copy !req
1206. Get up! Get up!
- Seven!Copy !req
1207. Eight! Nine!Copy !req
1208. - How do you feel, man? You okay?
- Now Rocky is furious with himself.Copy !req
1209. He convinces Cortez
he wants to keep fighting.Copy !req
1210. Dixon's pointing at the ref to end it.Copy !req
1211. Rocky waving his arms
and saying he's fine.Copy !req
1212. - He wants to go on!
- Let it go! Let it go!Copy !req
1213. And Balboa comes back!
With a left and a right...Copy !req
1214. and bulls Dixon into the ropes
for the second round in a row!Copy !req
1215. Back comes Dixon
with brutal left-hand shots.Copy !req
1216. - Dixon hurt his hand there!
- Go after him!Copy !req
1217. This is Rocky's best chance!Copy !req
1218. The champ obviously hurt
his hand on Rocky's hip!Copy !req
1219. And Balboa immediately going to
work to the body! Huge right hook!Copy !req
1220. Balboa ripping away at Dixon's body!
These are big punches.Copy !req
1221. Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!Copy !req
1222. Yes!Copy !req
1223. Rocky Balboa has knocked the
reigning heavyweight champion down!Copy !req
1224. - You hurt him!
- Mason "The Line" Dixon...Copy !req
1225. has never taken
this kind of punishment...Copy !req
1226. in his entire professional career!Copy !req
1227. Maybe he's clearing his head, but
the body shots really caved in his ribs.Copy !req
1228. Balboa is thinking knockout himself!Copy !req
1229. Another counterhook by Balboa,
followed by two more!Copy !req
1230. Dixon fires back his own hooks!
Now Rocky's stunned.Copy !req
1231. It's an all-out war along the ropes...Copy !req
1232. as round two comes to a close
amid a giant tumult in the ring!Copy !req
1233. Incredible.Copy !req
1234. All right!Copy !req
1235. Welcome to Rockyland.Copy !req
1236. - How's the hand?
- My hand's broken.Copy !req
1237. We lose, it's your ass! Your ass!Copy !req
1238. It will numb up on you
in a few rounds.Copy !req
1239. Once that hand numbs up,
Dixon will be able to throw it hard.Copy !req
1240. Until then, here is Rocky's chance.Copy !req
1241. - No reverse!
- Take the pain, champ.Copy !req
1242. Stay on him! Everybody thought
this was a joke, including me!Copy !req
1243. Now nobody's laughing!
Stay on him! You go get him!Copy !req
1244. Go out strong!Copy !req
1245. Keep him off you!Copy !req
1246. That's it! That's it!Copy !req
1247. You won that round.
Break him down.Copy !req
1248. Bomb him! Bomb him!Copy !req
1249. Yeah!Copy !req
1250. Just keep throwing them bombs!Copy !req
1251. Come on.Copy !req
1252. You can do this.Copy !req
1253. Rocko. Rocko.Copy !req
1254. Yeah, come on, go!Copy !req
1255. Go through him! Run over him!Copy !req
1256. Unload on him!Copy !req
1257. Get down, Mason!Copy !req
1258. They're leaving nothing
on the table, guys.Copy !req
1259. The fans are still standing. They may
not be able to sit down for a week.Copy !req
1260. - You're doing great!
- I'm doing better than I thought.Copy !req
1261. - You sure he's okay?
- I've had worse.Copy !req
1262. Toe to toe, one round to go. Who
would've believed this was possible?Copy !req
1263. - Can you see out of that eye?
- Let me talk to him.Copy !req
1264. Don't take any more chances
than you have to.Copy !req
1265. There's nothing more to prove, Pop.
There's nothing more to prove.Copy !req
1266. I gotta go out the way I gotta go out.Copy !req
1267. You can do it, Rocko!Copy !req
1268. - One more round, we go home.
- Okay, then do it.Copy !req
1269. There's an old saying that
every great champion has...Copy !req
1270. one great fight left in him,
and Rocky is proving it so far.Copy !req
1271. - Come on. Touch them up.
- Rocko! The last round of your life!Copy !req
1272. - Come on, guys.
- The last round!Copy !req
1273. Come on. Touch them up, let's go.
Touch them up.Copy !req
1274. - You are one crazy old man.
- You'll get there.Copy !req
1275. Let's go.Copy !req
1276. Tenth round of a scheduled 10.
Who would ever have dreamed...Copy !req
1277. that Rocky Balboa would still be
in this quote, "exhibition," against...Copy !req
1278. the heavyweight champion?
- You can do it! Come on!Copy !req
1279. This fight is as though Dixon
got on-the-job training in courage.Copy !req
1280. - Cover up! Cover up!
- They're both in a pain-free zone!Copy !req
1281. These guys are fighting
in another dimension right now!Copy !req
1282. Beyond belief! Balboa just walking
straight into Dixon's punches.Copy !req
1283. Target practice for Dixon.Copy !req
1284. They're exchanging right hooks!
Balboa's drilled!Copy !req
1285. Here comes Dixon! He's exhausted
from just punching the man!Copy !req
1286. Knock this bum out, Mase!Copy !req
1287. What is it you said to the kid?
It ain't about how hard you hit.Copy !req
1288. It's about how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward.Copy !req
1289. How much you can take
and keep moving forward.Copy !req
1290. - Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
- Get up.Copy !req
1291. - Let's go! Get up!
- Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!Copy !req
1292. Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!Copy !req
1293. Get up.Copy !req
1294. Another monster body shot. Rocky's
ancestors must have felt that one.Copy !req
1295. Come on, Rocky!
Start moving those hands!Copy !req
1296. Less than two minutes to go.Copy !req
1297. The crowd is astonished
that Balboa got up.Copy !req
1298. - Come on!
- Turn it over! All the way through!Copy !req
1299. And retaliates with fury!Copy !req
1300. Chop him down!Copy !req
1301. Come on, Rocky! Come on!Copy !req
1302. Take him out now!Copy !req
1303. They're trading shots again!Copy !req
1304. Balboa is trying to hit
anything and anywhere!Copy !req
1305. Win it! Win it!Copy !req
1306. Yes!Copy !req
1307. Yes!Copy !req
1308. You're a great champion.
You got heart.Copy !req
1309. Thanks for the opportunity.
Good man.Copy !req
1310. That was unbelievable. That was
the greatest thing I've ever seen.Copy !req
1311. You did it. That's the kind
of fighting you're talking about.Copy !req
1312. Hey, Paulie.Copy !req
1313. That beast is gone now.
The beast is out.Copy !req
1314. One of the most overused words
in sports, guys, is "incredible."Copy !req
1315. I hate to say it. This is incredible.Copy !req
1316. Let's go!Copy !req
1317. Ladies and gentlemen,
before we go to the scorecards...Copy !req
1318. a round of applause for these
two heavyweight warriors!Copy !req
1319. We have a split decision.Copy !req
1320. Adelaide Byrd scores it 95-94...Copy !req
1321. Dixon.Copy !req
1322. Chuck Giampa has it 95-94...Copy !req
1323. Balboa.Copy !req
1324. And Bill Graham scores it 95-94...Copy !req
1325. for the winner by split decision,
and still undefeated...Copy !req
1326. the heavyweight champion
of the world...Copy !req
1327. Mason "The Line" Dixon!Copy !req
1328. Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!Copy !req
1329. You know, I couldn't have
done nothing without you.Copy !req
1330. Yo, Adrian, we did it.Copy !req
1331. We did it.Copy !req
