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