00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:48.410
Attaboy! Keep him busy!

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.500
One.
Jesus.

00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:55.090
Two.
You got it.

00:01:55.130 --> 00:01:56.750
Three.
He ain't getting up!

00:01:56.800 --> 00:02:01.260
Four, five, six...

00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:06.760
seven, eight, nine, ten.

00:02:06.970 --> 00:02:08.430
Out!

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:13.770
Come here, Jimmy.

00:02:14.310 --> 00:02:16.440
Get that sleeping beauty
out of here!

00:02:17.150 --> 00:02:19.280
That's ten in a row, Jimmy!
Ten!

00:02:19.320 --> 00:02:23.700
<i>By a knockout, at one minute 46
seconds in the second round...</i>

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:25.530
<i>tonight's light
heavyweight winner...</i>

00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:27.660
<i>from the great state
of New Jersey...</i>

00:02:27.740 --> 00:02:31.200
<i>the Bulldog of Bergen,
James J. Braddock!</i>

00:02:42.260 --> 00:02:44.050
You're gonna be
the next champ, Jimmy!

00:02:44.130 --> 00:02:45.340
Hey, how you doing?

00:02:45.430 --> 00:02:47.050
Just give them a few.
Leave them wanting.

00:02:47.140 --> 00:02:48.510
You want to sign my name
for me, too?

00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:50.100
At least then
they can read it.

00:02:50.180 --> 00:02:51.310
You gave him
a cold meat party.

00:02:51.390 --> 00:02:52.640
Sign this for me,
Mr. Braddock.

00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:57.020
You've been getting stronger
with every fight.

00:02:57.110 --> 00:02:58.150
I've been seeing it.

00:02:58.230 --> 00:03:01.440
You may favor the right, sure, but
you got no stage fright or nerves.

00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:03.070
And you have never
been knocked out.

00:03:03.150 --> 00:03:05.360
You're in line.
That's all I'm saying, Jimmy.

00:03:05.450 --> 00:03:07.200
You're gonna get your shot.

00:03:07.950 --> 00:03:10.580
All right, let me see
what we got here.

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:12.960
$886 for Jeanette...

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:14.830
$772 for Lou and Whitey...

00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:19.800
$1,000 for the ring fees,
my $2,658 and your $3,544...

00:03:19.880 --> 00:03:24.590
makes $8,860. Stick that
in your mattress, Irishman.

00:03:26.050 --> 00:03:28.390
When we get there, you gonna
come in and see the kids?

00:03:28.470 --> 00:03:30.970
It's been a while. Come on.
They miss their Uncle Joey.

00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:34.310
Yeah, that's very sweet. You
still married to the same girl?

00:03:35.390 --> 00:03:36.690
I was this morning.

00:03:36.730 --> 00:03:39.650
Well, congratulations.
Maybe I'll take a rain check.

00:03:39.730 --> 00:03:40.690
And would you tell her...

00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:42.900
will you tell her I
undercharged on the gym fees...

00:03:43.030 --> 00:03:45.360
and no load on the towel? Would
you do that for me, please?

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.610
I will be sure to point
it out. I appreciate it.

00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:49.780
You stop up at the corner
here somewhere, Frank.

00:03:49.870 --> 00:03:52.540
Home to Jersey
for Mr. Adventure over here.

00:03:54.620 --> 00:03:56.670
All right, see you, Frank.

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.400
I could kill you!

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:23.730
I like the sound of that.

00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:26.110
Yeah, I like
the sound of that a lot.

00:04:26.610 --> 00:04:27.860
Jimmy.
Yeah?

00:04:27.950 --> 00:04:29.110
My sister.

00:04:30.070 --> 00:04:31.910
Daddy, did we win?

00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.250
Yeah, we won.

00:04:35.790 --> 00:04:37.370
How are you, Alice?

00:04:37.460 --> 00:04:39.290
Good.
That's wonderful, Jimmy.

00:04:39.370 --> 00:04:40.580
Hey, Howard.

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:49.640
Thank you.

00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:51.890
So tell me about him.

00:04:52.890 --> 00:04:54.810
Was he a real slugger?

00:04:56.850 --> 00:05:01.770
You know,
you could come and watch.

00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:07.650
No. You get hit...

00:05:07.780 --> 00:05:11.370
every time, it feels
like I'm getting hit, too.

00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:15.410
And I'm not half as tough
as you are.

00:05:20.330 --> 00:05:22.460
So, tell me about the girls.

00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:24.630
Girls?

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:29.760
I was at the Garden,
it was a fight night...

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.680
Come on. There was one.

00:05:32.390 --> 00:05:34.640
There must’ve been one.
No.

00:05:36.060 --> 00:05:38.060
Blond?
Brunette.

00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.770
Tall?

00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:47.610
Like a gazelle.

00:05:48.150 --> 00:05:50.700
I don't know how it is
she breathed up there.

00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:53.240
Mr. Braddock!

00:05:54.490 --> 00:05:58.080
You're so strong!

00:05:58.910 --> 00:06:03.500
And your hands,
they're so big.

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:06.420
You're so powerful!

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:14.600
Jimmy, I'm so proud of you.

00:06:15.350 --> 00:06:17.010
I'm so proud of you.

00:06:20.310 --> 00:06:21.890
Introducing...

00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:25.940
two-time state Golden Gloves
title holder...

00:06:26.150 --> 00:06:29.280
in both the light heavyweight
and heavyweight divisions...

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:33.320
21-0, with 16 wins
coming by way of knockout...

00:06:33.530 --> 00:06:38.040
the Bulldog of Bergen,
the pride of New Jersey...

00:06:38.410 --> 00:06:40.200
and the hope of the Irish...

00:06:40.290 --> 00:06:43.790
as the future champion
of the world...

00:06:43.870 --> 00:06:47.540
James J. Braddock.

00:07:22.370 --> 00:07:24.620
Ma, you woke me up.

00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:27.880
Well, you kicked
the covers off, honey.

00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:30.750
Now you go back to sleep,
all right?

00:07:31.300 --> 00:07:32.880
Good night, Mom.

00:07:32.970 --> 00:07:34.590
Good night, sweetheart.

00:08:40.030 --> 00:08:41.740
I can't find my socks.

00:08:41.990 --> 00:08:44.120
Jim!
I'm sorry.

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:46.540
Mama?

00:08:47.870 --> 00:08:50.750
Great.
I'm sorry, baby.

00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:54.000
I washed them last night.
Took them right off your feet.

00:08:54.300 --> 00:08:56.170
Don't you remember?
No.

00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:01.220
Well, you were out
like a light.

00:09:08.810 --> 00:09:10.850
How do I keep them this warm?

00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:13.860
Mama, I want to eat, too.

00:09:14.730 --> 00:09:16.740
Mommy will get you some,
honey.

00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:23.530
Hey, Rosy-Rosy.
Good morning, good morning.

00:09:27.410 --> 00:09:30.620
Got a notice yesterday.
Gas and electric.

00:09:32.330 --> 00:09:33.540
Come on.

00:09:33.710 --> 00:09:37.050
Okey-dokey, there we go.
I'll get the milk.

00:10:02.110 --> 00:10:04.280
Well, I think
there's some left over.

00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:07.830
Yep.

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:11.290
You know, I got that
fight tonight at the armory.

00:10:13.330 --> 00:10:16.090
Yeah, one guy, Abe Feldman.

00:10:16.300 --> 00:10:18.170
That's $50, win or lose.

00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:19.800
That's good.

00:10:21.010 --> 00:10:23.720
If I beat him, maybe I can get
my purses back up to $75.

00:10:23.800 --> 00:10:25.510
That would be great.

00:10:26.930 --> 00:10:30.480
Rosy, use your fork, please.

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:34.730
Who needs a cow, huh?

00:10:35.810 --> 00:10:37.690
Mama, I want some more.

00:10:39.230 --> 00:10:42.450
I'm sorry, sweetheart. We
need to save some for the boys.

00:10:46.830 --> 00:10:48.290
Here you go.

00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:51.960
You know, Mae,
I dreamed last night...

00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:54.370
that I was having dinner
at The Ritz.

00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:56.290
With Mickey Rooney
and George Raft.

00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:57.460
Really!
Yeah.

00:10:57.500 --> 00:11:01.470
And I dreamed I had a steak.
A thick, juicy steak.

00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:03.010
Like this, Rosy.

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.140
And then I had a mountain
of mashed potatoes...

00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:08.680
and I went back for ice cream
three times.

00:11:09.680 --> 00:11:11.140
I'm stuffed.

00:11:11.640 --> 00:11:14.350
I'm absolutely full.
I cannot eat another thing.

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.520
Want to give me a hand?

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:19.150
Jim.

00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.470
Boys, hurry up. Don't dawdle.

00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.430
Let's try and sleep
a little more.

00:12:44.110 --> 00:12:46.950
I need nine men and only nine.

00:12:47.530 --> 00:12:51.030
One. Two. Three.

00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.290
Four. Five. Six.

00:13:00.630 --> 00:13:05.300
Seven. Eight. Nine. That's it!

00:13:06.670 --> 00:13:08.680
All right,
let's get a move on!

00:13:10.300 --> 00:13:13.810
Go on, get going!
Got a lot of work today!

00:13:30.410 --> 00:13:31.950
Hey, Dad.
Hey.

00:13:32.030 --> 00:13:34.830
No shifts today, Dad?
What're you doing, son?

00:13:34.910 --> 00:13:37.750
I'm being good. I'm being
quiet. I'm being 'hayve.

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.120
Great.

00:13:40.170 --> 00:13:41.460
Daddy!

00:13:43.130 --> 00:13:45.210
Hey, Rosy-cheeks.
How you doing?

00:13:45.300 --> 00:13:47.260
Daddy, Jay stole!

00:13:47.670 --> 00:13:49.720
What?
Jay stole.

00:13:59.560 --> 00:14:01.650
What's all this about?
See? It's a salami.

00:14:01.690 --> 00:14:03.810
Young lady, your brother's
in enough trouble...

00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:06.360
without you telling on him.
You understand?

00:14:07.650 --> 00:14:08.990
It's from the butcher's.

00:14:09.070 --> 00:14:11.660
And he won't say a word
about it, will you, Jay?

00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:12.990
Will you, Jay?

00:14:17.450 --> 00:14:19.250
Okay, pick it up. Let's go.

00:14:21.790 --> 00:14:24.540
Do not test me, boy.
Right now.

00:14:30.760 --> 00:14:32.180
Howard, stay here.

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.440
Okay, let's go!
Come on, give me a hand here!

00:14:48.230 --> 00:14:49.780
Great,
then you don't get paid!

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:50.820
Bye.

00:14:57.660 --> 00:14:59.660
Don't forget to
pick it up easy!

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.000
Marty Johnson had to go away to
Delaware to live with his uncle.

00:15:08.380 --> 00:15:09.420
Why?

00:15:09.800 --> 00:15:12.760
His parents didn't have
enough money for them to eat.

00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:22.100
Yeah, well, things ain't easy
at the moment, Jay, you're right.

00:15:23.060 --> 00:15:26.100
But there's a lot of people
worse off than what we are.

00:15:29.070 --> 00:15:30.940
And just 'cause
things ain't easy...

00:15:31.030 --> 00:15:34.030
that don't give you the excuse
to take what's not yours, does it?

00:15:34.110 --> 00:15:36.990
That's stealing, right?
And we don't steal.

00:15:37.280 --> 00:15:39.660
No matter what happens,
we don't steal.

00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:42.080
Not ever. You got me?

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:50.840
Are you giving me your word?
Yes.

00:15:52.050 --> 00:15:54.090
Go on.
I promise.

00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.350
And I promise you...

00:16:02.140 --> 00:16:04.520
we will never send you away.

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.820
It's okay, kid.

00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:15.070
You got a little scared.
I understand.

00:16:15.990 --> 00:16:17.110
It's okay.

00:16:37.380 --> 00:16:40.220
Jim, he's a very slow guy.

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.310
Just plants himself there.

00:16:42.350 --> 00:16:44.680
So you just keep him steady.

00:16:44.770 --> 00:16:48.060
Keep him trapped in the middle.
Keep dancing around him, okay?

00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:51.940
You know what to do.
You know this type.

00:16:53.190 --> 00:16:54.610
That guy's a bum.

00:17:00.740 --> 00:17:02.740
Two bits will
get a guy a seat.

00:17:03.540 --> 00:17:06.660
And that guy gets to watch
you bleed and call you a bum.

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.670
And I know I gotta take it from
him, 'cause he's a paying customer.

00:17:12.710 --> 00:17:14.090
I see.

00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:16.510
Well, well, well.

00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:21.550
Pardon me, miss. Allow
me to restate my position.

00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:26.890
Mr. Abraham Feldman
is a novice fighter...

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:29.690
whose ass you should
gently kick...

00:17:29.730 --> 00:17:32.520
until it is humped up
between his shoulder blades.

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.320
That is, if it doesn't offend
your overly sensitive nature.

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.740
God knows.

00:17:50.670 --> 00:17:53.090
Now, you see, that break's
still a few weeks away.

00:17:53.130 --> 00:17:54.460
I know.
Yeah.

00:17:54.540 --> 00:17:56.380
And you were gonna tell me
about this when?

00:17:56.460 --> 00:17:59.260
It's gonna be fine. It's
not fine. No, it's not.

00:17:59.340 --> 00:18:00.550
What the hell?
You don't tell me?

00:18:00.590 --> 00:18:03.890
What the hell kinda crap is
that? I owe everybody money, Joe.

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.230
I can't get any shifts.

00:18:08.270 --> 00:18:10.140
We ain't got any cash.

00:18:13.270 --> 00:18:15.070
I got it.

00:18:19.070 --> 00:18:21.360
Screw them.
I'll tape it double.

00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:24.030
Thanks.

00:18:25.780 --> 00:18:27.910
Keep up. Stay up.

00:18:28.330 --> 00:18:30.830
Keep moving.
Keep your legs moving.

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:33.960
<i>And here comes Braddock</i>

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.090
<i>with his long-time manager,
Joe Gould.</i>

00:18:36.170 --> 00:18:37.960
You're washed up, Braddock.

00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:39.920
<i>And now for our main event.</i>

00:18:40.010 --> 00:18:41.090
Hey, which one's us, pal?

00:18:41.170 --> 00:18:42.340
<i>Jersey veteran
James J. Braddock...</i>

00:18:42.430 --> 00:18:44.890
<i>is up against Hymie Chaplin's
latest charge...</i>

00:18:44.970 --> 00:18:47.350
<i>young Abe Feldman
from Schenectady, New York.</i>

00:18:47.430 --> 00:18:48.390
Six rounder.

00:18:48.470 --> 00:18:50.600
<i>Some might recall
that Braddock was once...</i>

00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.100
<i>a light heavyweight
title challenger.</i>

00:18:53.150 --> 00:18:56.320
<i>His golden-boy peak ended
when Tommy Loughran...</i>

00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.150
<i>handled Jim over 15 rounds
back in '29.</i>

00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.360
<i>Since then,
the oft-injured Braddock...</i>

00:19:02.450 --> 00:19:05.320
<i>has shown only a glimmer
of his early promise.</i>

00:19:05.370 --> 00:19:07.990
<i>And the losses have started
to pile up.</i>

00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:10.450
<i>But Braddock continues
to battle.</i>

00:19:11.370 --> 00:19:14.170
<i>And here comes
the popular Abe Feldman.</i>

00:19:14.250 --> 00:19:16.040
<i>Feldman looks to be
the real thing...</i>

00:19:16.130 --> 00:19:20.210
<i>and showed some real moxie in
his recent win over Hans Birkie.</i>

00:19:23.470 --> 00:19:25.720
Hey, who whipped Latzo?

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:28.180
I did.
Goddamn right.

00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:30.020
Who KO'ed Slattery
in the ninth...

00:19:30.100 --> 00:19:33.640
when everybody said he didn't
have a rainmaker's chance in hell?

00:19:34.020 --> 00:19:35.560
That’d have to be me, too.
Right.

00:19:35.650 --> 00:19:38.480
And we're supposed to pucker our
assholes over this Abe Feldman?

00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:40.480
The guy couldn't break wind.
No.

00:19:40.980 --> 00:19:42.320
Hey, Jimmy.

00:19:43.990 --> 00:19:46.320
Anyplace else you'd rather be?

00:19:46.370 --> 00:19:47.700
No.
Good.

00:19:47.950 --> 00:19:49.950
Now, what are you
gonna do about it?

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.500
<i>Here we are halfway
through the fifth</i>

00:19:53.580 --> 00:19:55.290
<i>And it's more of the same.</i>

00:19:55.370 --> 00:19:57.000
<i>The boys clinch again.</i>

00:19:57.080 --> 00:19:58.090
Break it up.

00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:00.000
He's crushing my guy.
Get him off!

00:20:00.210 --> 00:20:02.210
Break!

00:20:02.460 --> 00:20:04.510
<i>The boo-birds
have started flying here.</i>

00:20:04.590 --> 00:20:06.800
<i>They want action
from these fighters.</i>

00:20:06.890 --> 00:20:09.010
<i>Feldman sticks a left
in Braddock's face.</i>

00:20:09.050 --> 00:20:11.680
<i>Braddock's right hand
is his best and only weapon.</i>

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.520
<i>He'll show the left, but it
lacks snap and Feldman knows it.</i>

00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:17.150
Come on, give these yokels
a shot in the ass!

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:21.190
<i>Feldman ducks a haymaker
but fails to follow up.</i>

00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:30.780
<i>And another big right
by Braddock.</i>

00:20:30.870 --> 00:20:32.790
<i>Now, there's the Braddock
we all recall.</i>

00:20:32.870 --> 00:20:35.500
<i>But it's one at a time.
It may not be enough.</i>

00:20:36.750 --> 00:20:37.870
Come on!

00:21:05.610 --> 00:21:07.360
<i>The referee pulls
the boys apart.</i>

00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:09.570
<i>And there's the bell
to end the fifth.</i>

00:21:09.620 --> 00:21:11.490
Easy now. Easy.

00:21:13.450 --> 00:21:16.910
I saw that.
You bust it again?

00:21:17.540 --> 00:21:19.290
I'm calling it, Jim.

00:21:23.210 --> 00:21:25.510
You gonna use the left?
Okay, good.

00:21:25.590 --> 00:21:27.760
You get in there but you
don't let him crowd you.

00:21:27.800 --> 00:21:30.050
You work his belly, you
hammer his belly with the left.

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:32.470
Last round. Come on,
you got to show me something.

00:21:32.550 --> 00:21:34.640
Give me a good one. You're
giving me an ulcer, Harry!

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:35.770
Shut up.

00:21:35.970 --> 00:21:38.270
Work his belly with the left.
You got it?

00:21:38.350 --> 00:21:41.100
Give him the flapdoodle with
the right because he don't know.

00:21:41.150 --> 00:21:43.150
Right?
'Cause he's kind of stupid.

00:21:43.190 --> 00:21:44.980
Okay? Last round.

00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:46.780
Last round! Go get him!

00:21:47.530 --> 00:21:49.240
The left!

00:21:51.110 --> 00:21:53.780
Damn it, I wish he could find
his goddamn left.

00:21:54.830 --> 00:21:56.830
That's it! Change it up!

00:21:57.410 --> 00:21:58.910
Southpaw, that's it!

00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:01.540
<i>Feldman prancing around,
looking for an opening...</i>

00:22:01.630 --> 00:22:04.290
<i>but still few clean punches
by the fighters.</i>

00:22:04.340 --> 00:22:06.760
<i>Braddock still pawing away
with the left.</i>

00:22:07.380 --> 00:22:09.630
<i>Another ineffectual left
from Feldman.</i>

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:13.470
<i>Braddock can hardly lift his
arms. He's slow on his feet.</i>

00:22:13.550 --> 00:22:16.310
<i>At least Gould in his corner
is still throwing punches...</i>

00:22:16.390 --> 00:22:18.270
<i>trying to urge his man on.</i>

00:22:21.810 --> 00:22:23.190
Go home!

00:22:28.780 --> 00:22:29.950
Go home, Braddock!

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:32.780
No holding, Braddock!

00:22:32.860 --> 00:22:35.410
<i>Cavanaugh's working harder
than the fighters.</i>

00:22:36.450 --> 00:22:37.660
Dry up!

00:22:40.330 --> 00:22:41.460
<i>Another clinch.</i>

00:22:41.540 --> 00:22:45.460
<i>It's as if 80 tough fights have
finally jumped on Braddock's back.</i>

00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:48.130
You're a bum!

00:22:54.470 --> 00:22:55.510
That's it!

00:22:55.550 --> 00:22:57.600
<i>Cavanaugh pulls them apart,
and he's called the fight.</i>

00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.020
<i>He's called the fight.</i>

00:22:59.810 --> 00:23:01.520
<i>It's a "no contest."</i>

00:23:01.560 --> 00:23:05.270
<i>And the popcorn and the
peanuts are raining down.</i>

00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:08.820
<i>And I'm afraid to say that's
all these fighters deserve...</i>

00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:10.990
<i>for the show
they put on tonight.</i>

00:23:13.070 --> 00:23:16.580
<i>I'm telling you, it's sad to
see a fighter that was once...</i>

00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:19.290
<i>the caliber of James Braddock
reduced to this.</i>

00:23:19.370 --> 00:23:20.950
It's all right, Jimmy.

00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:24.920
An embarrassment,
that's what it was.

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:26.250
An embarrassment!

00:23:26.340 --> 00:23:27.750
Where the hell's the purse?

00:23:27.790 --> 00:23:29.420
You wouldn't have
to be asking that...

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:31.470
if you gave a shit
about your fighter.

00:23:31.550 --> 00:23:34.890
Okay. He's fighting hurt.

00:23:35.340 --> 00:23:38.010
Maybe you got a bunch of fat
and happy fighters at home...

00:23:38.100 --> 00:23:41.060
can afford to rest a month between
bouts. I don't know. Lucky you!

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:43.600
Christ, he hardly gets
a punch in anymore!

00:23:43.940 --> 00:23:47.060
Fights being stopped by
referees? He's pathetic!

00:23:47.900 --> 00:23:50.030
Fights like that
keep people away.

00:23:53.530 --> 00:23:55.070
We're revoking his license,
Joe.

00:23:56.410 --> 00:23:59.870
Whatever Braddock was gonna do
in boxing, I guess he's done it.

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.040
Wait a minute.
That's all.

00:24:08.750 --> 00:24:09.960
Oh, boy.

00:24:15.510 --> 00:24:16.930
Mr. Johnston!

00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:20.180
Jim.

00:24:21.140 --> 00:24:22.720
What's going on?

00:24:23.430 --> 00:24:26.060
You didn't tell him?
Yeah, of course I told him.

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:27.770
He wanted to
hear it from you.

00:24:27.850 --> 00:24:29.940
Come on, Mr. Johnston,
no contest?

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.110
I broke my hand.
Okay? It's legit.

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:35.490
You don't see me
crying about it.

00:24:35.950 --> 00:24:37.820
I don't see what you got
to complain about.

00:24:37.910 --> 00:24:41.660
I still went out there, I still put
on a show. I did what I could do.

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.120
You know, we did that
boondock circuit for you...

00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:45.710
me and Joe. Remember?

00:24:47.670 --> 00:24:50.630
I didn't quit on you.
And I didn't quit tonight.

00:24:53.170 --> 00:24:54.840
I didn't always lose.

00:24:55.090 --> 00:24:56.880
I won't always lose again.

00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:59.970
I can still fight.
Go home.

00:25:00.010 --> 00:25:03.060
I can still fight. Go home
to Mae and the kids, Jim.

00:25:05.020 --> 00:25:07.140
Go home? Go home with what?

00:25:07.810 --> 00:25:12.320
Go home with what? A broken
hand from Mount Vernon?

00:25:14.190 --> 00:25:15.900
Mr. Johnston!

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:51.520
Baby?

00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:01.950
What happened?

00:26:02.910 --> 00:26:04.620
I didn't get the dough.

00:26:05.790 --> 00:26:07.410
They didn't pay up.

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:13.210
They called it a "no contest,"
said the fight was an embarrassment.

00:26:14.750 --> 00:26:16.340
They decommissioned me.

00:26:20.430 --> 00:26:21.970
Jimmy,
what happened to your hand?

00:26:22.050 --> 00:26:24.220
It's broke again
in three places.

00:26:25.390 --> 00:26:26.890
They said I'm through, Mae.

00:26:26.970 --> 00:26:29.060
They said
I can't be a boxer no more.

00:26:29.100 --> 00:26:30.600
Mercy.

00:26:35.900 --> 00:26:36.980
Okay.

00:26:42.610 --> 00:26:44.410
Jimmy, if you can't work...

00:26:44.490 --> 00:26:47.660
we're not gonna be able to pay
the electric, or the heat.

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:55.380
And we're out of credit
at the grocery.

00:26:58.590 --> 00:27:00.840
So I think we need
to pack the kids.

00:27:01.630 --> 00:27:04.140
They could stay at my sister's
for a little while...

00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:07.310
and I'll take in more sewing.

00:27:07.390 --> 00:27:09.020
That way we could make
two, three breadlines a day.

00:27:09.100 --> 00:27:10.600
I'll get doubles, triples,
whatever I can find.

00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:12.980
Jimmy, you can't work.
Mae, I can still work.

00:27:13.060 --> 00:27:15.560
Jimmy, you can't work.
Your hand's broken.

00:27:17.690 --> 00:27:19.070
They see me
lugging this around,

00:27:19.150 --> 00:27:20.280
you're right,
they won't pick me.

00:27:20.360 --> 00:27:22.450
Not down the docks,
not anywhere.

00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:25.910
So we're gonna cover it up...

00:27:25.990 --> 00:27:27.620
with the shoe polish.

00:27:29.830 --> 00:27:30.950
Okay?

00:27:57.900 --> 00:28:00.530
I'm sorry.
No.

00:28:06.410 --> 00:28:07.570
No.

00:28:18.170 --> 00:28:19.130
No.

00:28:39.560 --> 00:28:42.400
I need five and only five!

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:44.780
Come on, Jake!

00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:47.530
One.

00:28:49.410 --> 00:28:50.700
Two.

00:28:53.370 --> 00:28:54.790
Three.

00:28:56.420 --> 00:28:57.580
Four.

00:29:00.670 --> 00:29:02.800
Five. That's it!

00:29:17.690 --> 00:29:19.900
What the hell happened
to your face?

00:29:20.270 --> 00:29:22.190
I got in a fight.
Yeah?

00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:24.280
What’d you go do that for?

00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:26.860
That's a good question.

00:29:27.780 --> 00:29:29.200
Mike Wilson.

00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:31.410
Jim Braddock.

00:29:31.990 --> 00:29:35.040
I used to follow a pretty good
fighter with that name.

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:40.380
And there's some other guy
going around using that name now.

00:29:40.460 --> 00:29:42.340
Can't fight for shit.

00:29:42.420 --> 00:29:45.760
Gambling man will lose
a lot of money on him. Twice.

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:55.060
That hand ain't gonna work.

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:57.430
You can't slow me down.
I need this job.

00:29:58.730 --> 00:30:00.190
I need the job, too.

00:30:09.150 --> 00:30:11.660
What's wrong with
the goddamn hand?

00:30:20.330 --> 00:30:22.460
You see us
falling behind, Jake?

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:25.880
He's all right.

00:30:33.970 --> 00:30:35.310
Appreciate it.

00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.440
I'll get a cold beer.

00:30:40.980 --> 00:30:42.480
Just a water for me, Quincy.

00:30:42.560 --> 00:30:44.980
All I got today
are big spenders.

00:30:45.070 --> 00:30:47.030
Beer for him, too. I'm buying.

00:30:48.360 --> 00:30:49.990
Don't hurt my feelings.

00:30:50.030 --> 00:30:53.320
It's been a while, but... You
don't have to twist my arm.

00:30:55.780 --> 00:30:59.500
Yeah, I used to be a broker.
Still lost it all in '29.

00:30:59.910 --> 00:31:01.290
Yeah, me, too.

00:31:02.210 --> 00:31:05.130
I had just about everything
I ever earned in stocks.

00:31:05.590 --> 00:31:07.420
Even had a little
taxi company.

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:10.880
I mean, who loses their dough
on cabs in New York City, right?

00:31:11.050 --> 00:31:14.090
Well, I thought that one
was gold for the grandkiddies.

00:31:14.180 --> 00:31:17.010
You know, there's people living
in shacks in Central Park.

00:31:17.100 --> 00:31:18.810
Call it the Hooverville.

00:31:19.060 --> 00:31:21.270
This government's
dropped us flat.

00:31:21.350 --> 00:31:24.900
We need to organize, you know?
Unionize. Fight back.

00:31:26.110 --> 00:31:27.860
Fight? Fight what?

00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:30.320
Bad luck? Greed? Drought?

00:31:31.280 --> 00:31:32.900
No point punching things
you can't see.

00:31:32.990 --> 00:31:35.200
No, we'll work
a way through this.

00:31:35.280 --> 00:31:37.990
FDR, he's gonna handle it.
Screw FDR.

00:31:38.330 --> 00:31:40.540
FDR, Hoover,
they're all the same.

00:31:40.580 --> 00:31:43.290
You know, I come home one day.
I stand in my living room.

00:31:43.370 --> 00:31:46.340
And between the mortgage and the
market and the goddamn lawyer...

00:31:46.420 --> 00:31:48.210
that was supposed
to be working for me...

00:31:48.300 --> 00:31:50.050
it stopped being mine.

00:31:51.130 --> 00:31:53.050
It all stopped being mine.

00:31:53.930 --> 00:31:56.640
FDR ain't given me
my house back yet.

00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:05.310
Mama, why can't I
go to school?

00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:07.310
Is it because I'm a girl?

00:32:08.070 --> 00:32:10.820
Maybe.
Hadn't thought of that.

00:32:16.030 --> 00:32:18.160
Who's that man
at our house?

00:32:20.120 --> 00:32:21.580
Excuse me!

00:32:24.620 --> 00:32:26.250
Can I help you?

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:28.170
I'm sorry, lady,
you're past due.

00:32:28.250 --> 00:32:30.590
No, you can't.

00:32:30.670 --> 00:32:32.710
You can't.
There's kids.

00:32:33.510 --> 00:32:35.300
If I don't,
they let me go.

00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:38.930
They already let two guys go.
Please.

00:32:39.810 --> 00:32:43.890
This apartment, it's what we got
left that keeps us hanging on.

00:32:44.100 --> 00:32:45.850
Lady, I got kids, too.

00:32:57.110 --> 00:32:58.450
$6.74.

00:32:59.370 --> 00:33:01.200
How much to turn it back on?

00:33:03.290 --> 00:33:06.710
Four months. $44.12.

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.630
If I work 26 hours out of
every 24, it still won't add up.

00:33:22.970 --> 00:33:26.060
We ain't got nothing.
Nothing left to sell.

00:33:31.730 --> 00:33:33.980
All the guys
you could’ve married, huh?

00:33:36.150 --> 00:33:39.700
Yeah.
What happened to those guys?

00:34:01.090 --> 00:34:02.350
It's Howard.

00:34:04.260 --> 00:34:05.810
Since this afternoon.

00:34:14.730 --> 00:34:16.490
Bless us, O Lord...

00:34:16.860 --> 00:34:19.570
and these thy gifts which
we are about to receive...

00:34:19.660 --> 00:34:21.200
from thy bounty.

00:34:28.080 --> 00:34:29.540
I'm all prayed out.

00:34:40.930 --> 00:34:42.590
Here's more firewood.

00:34:49.560 --> 00:34:53.520
Where are you going?
I said where are you going?

00:34:54.770 --> 00:34:57.940
Go to hell,
you no-good bastard!

00:34:58.030 --> 00:35:01.070
Go on, then!
We don't need you!

00:35:01.150 --> 00:35:04.620
All right. Help me,
pick up some of that wood.

00:35:04.700 --> 00:35:06.990
I got it, Mama. All right,
let's go, sweetheart.

00:35:07.080 --> 00:35:08.410
All right, honey.

00:35:15.290 --> 00:35:17.420
Nice and warm, huh?

00:35:22.930 --> 00:35:24.050
Baby?

00:35:26.140 --> 00:35:27.140
Baby?

00:35:27.600 --> 00:35:29.060
Look at Mommy.

00:35:34.810 --> 00:35:36.190
Sweetheart.

00:35:44.660 --> 00:35:45.820
Mommy?

00:35:51.660 --> 00:35:52.790
What's wrong?

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:56.670
Nothing, sweetheart.

00:35:57.290 --> 00:35:59.630
Mommy will be right back,
okay?

00:36:54.060 --> 00:36:58.520
Howard's fever was getting worse
and then Rosy started to sneeze.

00:37:10.620 --> 00:37:13.500
Where are they, Mae? Jim,
we can't even keep 'em warm.

00:37:15.410 --> 00:37:16.580
Where are the kids?

00:37:17.620 --> 00:37:20.500
The boys will sleep on the
sofa at my father's in Brooklyn.

00:37:20.590 --> 00:37:22.250
And Rosy'll stay
at my sister's.

00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:24.010
Jimmy, we can't keep 'em!

00:37:24.090 --> 00:37:26.720
You don't make decisions
about our children without me.

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.760
What if they get really sick?
We already owe Dr. McDonald...

00:37:29.850 --> 00:37:31.850
If you send them away, then
all this has been for nothing!

00:37:31.930 --> 00:37:34.140
It's just until we get back...
What else was it for?

00:37:34.220 --> 00:37:36.390
If we can't stay together,
that means we lost!

00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:38.560
That means we've given up!
I am not giving up!

00:37:38.650 --> 00:37:41.480
I'm trying to protect our
children. Mae, I promised him.

00:37:42.520 --> 00:37:43.900
Outside the butcher's.

00:37:43.940 --> 00:37:44.940
I looked him in the eyes...

00:37:45.030 --> 00:37:46.570
and I promised him
with all of my heart...

00:37:46.650 --> 00:37:49.070
I would never ever
send him away.

00:37:50.990 --> 00:37:52.490
You can't do this.

00:37:53.370 --> 00:37:54.540
You weren't here.

00:37:55.580 --> 00:37:57.040
You can't break my promise.

00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.090
Jim, you didn't see.
You weren't here.

00:38:11.470 --> 00:38:12.550
I'm sorry.

00:38:17.020 --> 00:38:18.310
I'm sorry, Jimmy.

00:38:22.110 --> 00:38:23.860
What are you doing?

00:38:28.490 --> 00:38:29.740
Jim?

00:38:30.820 --> 00:38:34.280
Jimmy! Where you going?

00:38:36.290 --> 00:38:37.790
Where you going, Jimmy?

00:38:57.390 --> 00:38:59.980
That doesn't qualify you, sir.
What else can you tell me?

00:39:00.060 --> 00:39:02.560
The problem is my wife is
losing all of her teeth.

00:39:02.650 --> 00:39:04.190
I got a relief order
for her.

00:39:04.270 --> 00:39:06.530
The doctor says
it's due to insufficient diet.

00:39:06.610 --> 00:39:08.900
She's still nursing the baby
on account of...

00:39:08.990 --> 00:39:10.610
we can't afford milk
for the family.

00:39:10.700 --> 00:39:11.820
Okay.

00:39:23.420 --> 00:39:25.540
I never thought
I'd see you here, Jim.

00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:38.740
He jumped up...

00:40:39.030 --> 00:40:41.080
kicked his stool
out of the ring...

00:40:42.200 --> 00:40:43.790
and he was just,
he was furious.

00:40:43.870 --> 00:40:45.000
I grabbed the mike...

00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:53.590
There's Jimmy Braddock.

00:41:00.560 --> 00:41:02.430
The thing is,
I can't afford to...

00:41:04.180 --> 00:41:05.440
I can't afford
to pay the heat.

00:41:06.520 --> 00:41:08.110
I've had to
farm out my kids.

00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:12.070
You know, they keep cutting
shifts down at the docks...

00:41:12.150 --> 00:41:14.240
and you just don't get picked
every day.

00:41:17.950 --> 00:41:20.450
I sold everything I've got
that anybody would buy.

00:41:28.210 --> 00:41:31.210
I went on public assistance. I
signed on at the relief office.

00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:35.380
They gave me $19.
I need another $18.38...

00:41:35.470 --> 00:41:38.430
so I can pay the bill
and get the kids back.

00:41:42.810 --> 00:41:46.270
You know me well enough to know
if I had anywhere else to go...

00:41:47.850 --> 00:41:49.060
I wouldn't be here.

00:41:53.530 --> 00:41:56.700
If you could help me through this
time, I sure would be grateful.

00:42:09.370 --> 00:42:10.750
Sure, Jim. Sure.

00:42:18.930 --> 00:42:20.090
Good luck.

00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:22.510
Jim.

00:42:26.730 --> 00:42:28.020
Hey, Jimmy.

00:42:57.550 --> 00:42:58.880
Here you go, Jim.

00:43:00.430 --> 00:43:01.720
Good luck, Jim.

00:43:24.120 --> 00:43:26.620
I'm sorry, Joe, I didn't...
I'm sorry.

00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:31.330
What in the hell do you have
to be sorry about?

00:43:32.120 --> 00:43:33.790
Jesus Christ, Jimmy.

00:43:41.130 --> 00:43:42.590
How short are you?

00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:55.940
About $1.50.

00:43:58.980 --> 00:44:00.070
Okay.

00:44:02.570 --> 00:44:04.410
We're home!
Hooray, we're home!

00:44:04.700 --> 00:44:06.120
We're glad to be home!

00:44:09.490 --> 00:44:10.580
Good.

00:44:18.340 --> 00:44:19.460
Okay. All right.

00:44:20.340 --> 00:44:24.130
Howard, don't jump on
the bed. Sorry, Mama.

00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:26.090
Read to me, Jay.

00:44:26.890 --> 00:44:28.890
"On his way up
and down the stairs..."

00:44:28.970 --> 00:44:31.930
Do you like being home?
I like being home, too.

00:44:33.060 --> 00:44:34.600
My little doll.

00:44:54.870 --> 00:44:56.170
Make a wish, kids.

00:44:56.380 --> 00:44:57.500
Blow!

00:45:02.550 --> 00:45:05.180
Hey, Howard, come on.
They're gonna cut the cake up.

00:45:05.340 --> 00:45:06.510
You wanna line up, huh?

00:45:07.010 --> 00:45:09.180
You looking forward
to some chocolate cake?

00:45:09.260 --> 00:45:11.220
I liked it better
when we had our own.

00:45:11.390 --> 00:45:12.720
I can understand that.

00:45:16.810 --> 00:45:18.480
Hiya, Howard.
Hi.

00:45:18.690 --> 00:45:21.440
Hey, your dad ever tell you
that I used to spar with him?

00:45:22.190 --> 00:45:24.740
You hit the Father?
As often as I possibly could.

00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:27.780
He was kinda tricky, though.
Hard to catch.

00:45:28.030 --> 00:45:29.490
Go and get some cake. Go on.

00:45:30.910 --> 00:45:32.330
Missed you at mass, Jimmy.

00:45:33.080 --> 00:45:35.330
I can get an extra shift
on a Sunday, you know?

00:45:35.410 --> 00:45:37.250
Don't you walk away from me!
James.

00:45:37.330 --> 00:45:38.420
Mike, you hear me?

00:45:38.500 --> 00:45:39.590
Excuse me.

00:45:39.670 --> 00:45:42.550
Every day, "fix the world."
How about fixing your family?

00:45:42.590 --> 00:45:44.050
What kind of father
are you?

00:45:44.090 --> 00:45:47.260
Too proud to cross the street
because she can't have her own cake?

00:45:47.340 --> 00:45:49.800
And now you're drunk at
church, for Chris's sake.

00:45:49.890 --> 00:45:53.020
That a joke, Sara? Making a
joke? I'm just saying it's enough!

00:45:53.100 --> 00:45:55.810
Guys, where's the ref? Why
don't you stay out of this?

00:45:55.890 --> 00:45:58.850
It's between man and wife. How
do you even call yourself that?

00:45:58.940 --> 00:45:59.900
What’d you say to me?
Come on.

00:45:59.980 --> 00:46:01.020
Get your hands off me!

00:46:01.110 --> 00:46:02.150
You've had a couple drinks.
It's Sunday.

00:46:02.230 --> 00:46:04.610
No harm in that. Day of rest.
All washed up. Can't get a fight.

00:46:04.690 --> 00:46:05.860
What, you want to fight me?

00:46:05.940 --> 00:46:07.240
Mike,
you don't have to do this.

00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:08.570
I ain't got no beef
with you.

00:46:08.660 --> 00:46:11.030
Come on! Can't make it in the ring, huh?

00:46:11.620 --> 00:46:13.790
Come on, Braddock,
I'll take your head off!

00:46:14.580 --> 00:46:18.040
Jim, no!
Mike, you okay, baby?

00:46:19.040 --> 00:46:20.460
Why don't you get off me?

00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:22.880
Go to hell! The both of you!

00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:25.710
Jesus, Jim,
he wasn't gonna hit me.

00:46:28.300 --> 00:46:29.890
Mike, wait!

00:46:40.810 --> 00:46:43.900
Now, what it's all about is
rotating your body behind your fist.

00:46:43.980 --> 00:46:46.110
Bang. That's right.
Right in the kisser, yeah.

00:46:48.150 --> 00:46:49.150
There you go.

00:46:51.950 --> 00:46:55.240
Good girl. You got a
better jab than your dad.

00:46:57.200 --> 00:47:00.960
Boy, you are a brave man. Not
really. Mae's at the store.

00:47:02.460 --> 00:47:03.920
That's a good one, kiddo!

00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.630
You want to go play with the other
kids while I talk to Uncle Joe?

00:47:09.130 --> 00:47:12.550
Joe Gould,
still looking dapper, I see.

00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.760
Certainly. Gotta keep up
appearances, right?

00:47:17.350 --> 00:47:19.690
Good to see you, Jimmy.
Nice to see you, Joe.

00:47:21.350 --> 00:47:22.900
Nice day, huh?

00:47:24.020 --> 00:47:25.320
Yeah.

00:47:27.530 --> 00:47:30.280
You drove all the way out here
to talk about the weather?

00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.120
Maybe I was in the neighborhood.
Did you ever think of that?

00:47:33.200 --> 00:47:34.320
Little fresh air.

00:47:35.120 --> 00:47:37.120
Joe, this is Jersey.

00:47:39.160 --> 00:47:40.540
Yeah. Good point.

00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:47.090
I got you a fight.

00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:50.840
Go to hell. Come on.
You want it, don't you?

00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:54.180
What, we gonna bring this up with
the Boxing Commission, or not?

00:47:54.220 --> 00:47:57.350
Yes, and they'll sanction it.
This one fight, and one fight only.

00:47:57.430 --> 00:47:59.980
It's not a comeback, right?
It's just one fight.

00:48:00.730 --> 00:48:02.600
Why?
'Cause of who you're fighting.

00:48:02.940 --> 00:48:03.980
How much?

00:48:04.060 --> 00:48:05.560
Just once, ask me who
it is you're fighting.

00:48:05.650 --> 00:48:08.030
How much?
$250.

00:48:08.230 --> 00:48:10.990
You're on at the big show
at the Garden, tomorrow night.

00:48:11.070 --> 00:48:13.280
You fight Corn Griffin, Jimmy.

00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.450
Number two heavyweight
contender in the world.

00:48:15.530 --> 00:48:17.240
Prelim before
the championship bout.

00:48:17.330 --> 00:48:19.540
You know, Joe, this
ain't funny. No, it's not.

00:48:19.580 --> 00:48:21.540
And it ain't no favor,
either.

00:48:21.580 --> 00:48:23.960
Griffin's opponent got cut,
and he couldn't fight.

00:48:24.040 --> 00:48:26.670
So they had to find somebody they
could throw in at a day's notice.

00:48:26.750 --> 00:48:28.050
Nobody legit would...

00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:33.760
Nobody would take a fight
with Griffin without training.

00:48:34.890 --> 00:48:39.010
So I told them use the angle
Griffin's gonna knock out a guy...

00:48:39.770 --> 00:48:41.100
never been knocked out.

00:48:42.310 --> 00:48:43.520
You're meat, Jimmy.

00:48:43.980 --> 00:48:45.270
Are you on the level, Joe?

00:48:45.350 --> 00:48:47.060
Come on. Always.

00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:49.360
For $250,
I would fight your wife.

00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:51.360
Now you're dreaming.

00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:53.200
And your grandmother.
At the same time.

00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:54.610
Teeth in or teeth out?
Take them out.

00:48:54.700 --> 00:48:56.200
Then you're dead.
You're down, you're gone.

00:48:56.280 --> 00:48:57.370
No chance.
$250?

00:48:57.450 --> 00:48:58.740
250 bananas. Come here.

00:49:03.290 --> 00:49:05.040
Get your programs here!

00:49:07.500 --> 00:49:09.920
Programs here! 25 cents!

00:49:11.300 --> 00:49:14.420
I mean, for Chris's sake,
100 and something fights...

00:49:14.510 --> 00:49:15.970
you never been knocked out.

00:49:16.050 --> 00:49:17.930
Who the hell goes
and sells his gear?

00:49:18.640 --> 00:49:20.600
80 fights as a pro,
50 as an amateur.

00:49:21.470 --> 00:49:24.310
How soon they forget!
I'm so sorry.

00:49:24.430 --> 00:49:27.440
Borrowed gear, borrowed robe.
Knock yourself out.

00:49:29.650 --> 00:49:30.690
Joe.

00:49:34.820 --> 00:49:37.950
I might as well get an Aooga horn
and chase him around the ring.

00:49:39.990 --> 00:49:42.740
That's good.
You been drinking?

00:49:42.830 --> 00:49:44.620
Are you trying to
hurt my feelings?

00:49:44.910 --> 00:49:48.130
You're just too loose. You're
spooking me. Sharpen up.

00:49:48.170 --> 00:49:51.300
Come on, Joe, we both
know what this is, right?

00:49:52.380 --> 00:49:55.670
I get to put a little more distance
between my kids and the street...

00:49:56.090 --> 00:49:58.970
and I get to say good-bye
at the Garden.

00:50:00.890 --> 00:50:02.680
Full house,
night of a big fight.

00:50:04.020 --> 00:50:05.350
Thank you very much.

00:50:05.600 --> 00:50:07.480
Right. Come on, hurry up.

00:50:07.850 --> 00:50:09.440
Let's get the lead
out of here.

00:50:12.900 --> 00:50:14.280
What the hell was that?

00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:17.650
They ran out of soup
on the line this morning.

00:50:17.740 --> 00:50:19.780
Ran out of soup
on the line this morning.

00:50:19.870 --> 00:50:22.780
How the hell are you supposed
to fight on an empty stomach?

00:50:23.330 --> 00:50:24.660
<i>Good evening.</i>

00:50:24.750 --> 00:50:29.500
<i>Welcome to tonight's broadcast of
the Primo Carnera/Max Baer fight...</i>

00:50:29.790 --> 00:50:32.290
<i>for the heavyweight
championship of the world!</i>

00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:36.050
Hash is all they had, okay?
Eat, quick.

00:50:36.670 --> 00:50:39.220
You got a spoon? For
Chris's sake, it's not there?

00:50:39.300 --> 00:50:41.510
Come on, we gotta go anyway.
One bite, Joe.

00:50:41.600 --> 00:50:43.560
I'll eat it with my fingers.
Whoa, hey!

00:50:44.010 --> 00:50:45.770
I don't have time
to re-tape you.

00:50:46.060 --> 00:50:48.940
Just sit tight,
and I'll find you a spoon.

00:50:50.650 --> 00:50:52.060
For Chris's sake.

00:51:03.530 --> 00:51:05.990
Is that a ghost I'm seeing?
An apparition?

00:51:06.080 --> 00:51:09.250
Or is that James J. Braddock,
the Bulldog of Bergen?

00:51:09.580 --> 00:51:12.040
How you feeling, Jimmy?
How's that right hand?

00:51:12.080 --> 00:51:13.500
Braddock, you're up!

00:51:19.300 --> 00:51:21.720
Sporty Lewis, how you doing?
How you doing?

00:51:24.180 --> 00:51:27.220
July 18, 1929.

00:51:28.640 --> 00:51:29.770
<i>New York Herald.</i>

00:51:31.810 --> 00:51:33.940
Proving he was too young
and too green...

00:51:34.900 --> 00:51:36.230
and rushed to the top...

00:51:38.110 --> 00:51:40.570
Loughran wiped the ring
with the Bulldog's career.

00:51:41.570 --> 00:51:43.070
A sad and somber funeral...

00:51:44.580 --> 00:51:46.290
with the body
still breathing.

00:51:47.240 --> 00:51:50.370
I don't fight the fights, Jimmy,
I just write about them, see?

00:51:50.460 --> 00:51:53.000
Sporty, save the crap
for the customers.

00:52:04.930 --> 00:52:06.100
Who's Jim Braddock?

00:52:06.140 --> 00:52:09.020
Go get your pencil out, kid.
I got your lead line for you.

00:52:09.100 --> 00:52:11.270
Go ahead, I'm not kidding,
write this down.

00:52:11.640 --> 00:52:14.610
The walk from the locker room
to the ring...

00:52:14.690 --> 00:52:17.820
was the only time tonight
old Jim Braddock...

00:52:17.900 --> 00:52:19.400
Looking good, Jimmy!

00:52:19.820 --> 00:52:21.740
...was seen on his feet.
You got that?

00:52:21.820 --> 00:52:24.280
<i>Before tonight's championship
battle, we'll bring you...</i>

00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:27.120
<i>a special bout featuring
Charlie Harvey's soldier boy...</i>

00:52:27.490 --> 00:52:28.790
<i>Corn Griffin.</i>

00:52:28.870 --> 00:52:30.540
<i>Griffin is the fella
that ran rings...</i>

00:52:30.620 --> 00:52:32.750
<i>around the champion Carnera
in training.</i>

00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:34.370
<i>And who's his opponent?</i>

00:52:34.460 --> 00:52:37.590
<i>Looks like they dug old Jim
Braddock out of retirement...</i>

00:52:37.670 --> 00:52:39.090
<i>at least for one more fight.</i>

00:52:39.300 --> 00:52:40.960
<i>Hey, Mike! Griffin
is up in the ring now.</i>

00:52:41.010 --> 00:52:43.260
<i>Braddock? Isn't that your
buddy? Look at the size of him!</i>

00:52:44.050 --> 00:52:46.260
<i>In this corner...</i>

00:52:47.890 --> 00:52:51.600
<i>the sensational
heavyweight slugger...</i>

00:52:51.680 --> 00:52:53.770
<i>from Fort Benning, Georgia...</i>

00:52:54.230 --> 00:52:57.690
<i>who is punching a path
to the top of the division.</i>

00:52:58.190 --> 00:53:00.820
<i>John "Corn" Griffin!</i>

00:53:04.530 --> 00:53:08.450
<i>His opponent:
The popular battler...</i>

00:53:08.530 --> 00:53:12.700
<i>who has never been KO'ed in more
than 80 professional bouts...</i>

00:53:13.460 --> 00:53:14.670
Quincy, beer. We got a fight!

00:53:14.750 --> 00:53:15.960
<i>... the power-punching
veteran...</i>

00:53:16.040 --> 00:53:18.540
<i>from North Bergen,
New Jersey...</i>

00:53:19.290 --> 00:53:21.920
<i>James J. Braddock!</i>

00:53:47.410 --> 00:53:49.410
<i>The skinny from
the reporters at ringside...</i>

00:53:49.490 --> 00:53:51.490
<i>is that Braddock
won't last two rounds.</i>

00:53:51.580 --> 00:53:54.080
<i>Griffin is a five-to-one
favorite to do just that.</i>

00:53:54.160 --> 00:53:56.670
<i>But Joe Gould claims
Braddock's right hand is fine.</i>

00:53:56.750 --> 00:53:58.750
<i>Jimmy will need
two good hands tonight.</i>

00:54:04.460 --> 00:54:06.340
<i>Griffin storms out
of his corner!</i>

00:54:06.720 --> 00:54:08.760
<i>Things are uptempo right away.</i>

00:54:11.930 --> 00:54:13.810
Come on, Braddock,
make a fight of it!

00:54:20.980 --> 00:54:23.110
Get out of it! Get out, Jimmy!

00:54:23.230 --> 00:54:24.990
<i>Braddock takes a left
to the body</i>

00:54:25.070 --> 00:54:26.240
<i>and a hard right to the head!</i>

00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:27.990
<i>Braddock's giving ground now.</i>

00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:29.450
<i>A hard right!</i>

00:54:29.530 --> 00:54:31.070
<i>Pins him in
the neutral corner.</i>

00:54:31.490 --> 00:54:33.160
Get outta there, Jim! Get out!

00:54:33.240 --> 00:54:34.200
<i>Griffin's all over him!</i>

00:54:35.160 --> 00:54:36.660
<i>Braddock taking hard jabs.</i>

00:54:39.250 --> 00:54:40.750
<i>And Braddock is down.</i>

00:54:41.040 --> 00:54:43.000
Shut up! I wanna hear this!
Shut up!

00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:47.260
Jim? You're fine.
Stay down.

00:54:55.850 --> 00:54:58.230
One. Two.
Stay down! What's the hurry?

00:54:58.270 --> 00:55:00.560
Three. Four.
Hey! Listen.

00:55:00.650 --> 00:55:03.070
I liked the left. Try two lefts. Five.

00:55:03.150 --> 00:55:04.400
Give him two lefts!
Six.

00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:06.400
Pop, pop! Double it up.
Seven.

00:55:06.490 --> 00:55:08.450
How 'bout it? Up, up.
Eight.

00:55:08.490 --> 00:55:10.110
What the hell are you doing?
Let's go.

00:55:10.200 --> 00:55:11.200
Nine.

00:55:11.620 --> 00:55:13.580
Yeah, come on, Jimmy!
On your feet, come on!

00:55:14.830 --> 00:55:17.120
<i>The referee waving Griffin in.</i>

00:55:17.790 --> 00:55:18.750
Move in on that.

00:55:18.830 --> 00:55:20.170
Nice move!

00:55:20.870 --> 00:55:22.540
Bring him in!

00:55:24.290 --> 00:55:25.590
<i>Snaps a stiff jab! Another!</i>

00:55:27.460 --> 00:55:29.130
Welcome to New York.

00:55:29.170 --> 00:55:31.090
Beautiful!

00:55:31.680 --> 00:55:33.600
That's more like it!
Let me see that cut.

00:55:34.180 --> 00:55:35.640
You look great!

00:55:36.430 --> 00:55:39.310
It sure as hell beats working
on the docks!

00:55:40.940 --> 00:55:44.650
Say, the two jabs look
sensational! They look sweet!

00:55:45.020 --> 00:55:47.150
Now, he's loading up on you.
You see that?

00:55:47.190 --> 00:55:50.320
He opens up after you jab him. You
gotta come in there with a right.

00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:51.410
Real quick.

00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:54.580
But you gotta stop
some of those left hands.

00:55:55.530 --> 00:55:57.450
You see any
getting past my head?

00:55:57.950 --> 00:55:59.000
Keep moving!

00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:04.670
<i>Griffin still winging
big shots.</i>

00:56:04.710 --> 00:56:06.840
<i>He wants to be the first
to stop Braddock.</i>

00:56:09.050 --> 00:56:11.050
<i>Braddock gets in
another big right hand!</i>

00:56:11.170 --> 00:56:13.340
<i>Snapped Griffin's head back
with that one.</i>

00:56:15.050 --> 00:56:16.390
Come on!

00:56:16.470 --> 00:56:17.810
<i>Griffin loading up.</i>

00:56:20.930 --> 00:56:22.600
Move out!
Give him the slip, Jimmy!

00:56:22.690 --> 00:56:24.520
<i>Another big flurry by Griffin!</i>

00:56:24.560 --> 00:56:28.230
<i>Braddock hanging tough but,
folks, he is taking a beating!</i>

00:56:30.490 --> 00:56:33.110
That's two rounds more than
I thought he was gonna go.

00:56:33.740 --> 00:56:36.030
He's a half a step behind you.
Do you feel it?

00:56:37.200 --> 00:56:39.080
Stick with it.

00:56:39.330 --> 00:56:40.450
Busy, busy.

00:56:42.290 --> 00:56:44.420
<i>Six minutes of fury so far.</i>

00:56:45.170 --> 00:56:48.300
<i>Braddock has the look of a man
trying to hold back an avalanche.</i>

00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:52.840
<i>Griffin hits him with a left.</i>

00:56:52.930 --> 00:56:54.890
<i>And Braddock is stepping
in post holes.</i>

00:56:57.470 --> 00:56:59.060
Keep him in front of you!

00:57:00.770 --> 00:57:01.850
Lure him in, Jim.

00:57:02.430 --> 00:57:04.270
<i>Jimmy's finally
moving his head.</i>

00:57:05.940 --> 00:57:07.520
Pick your spot!

00:57:16.620 --> 00:57:17.910
<i>And Griffin is down!</i>

00:57:23.370 --> 00:57:25.620
Where the hell have you been,
Jimmy Braddock?

00:57:26.460 --> 00:57:29.670
One. Two. Three.

00:57:30.130 --> 00:57:31.590
<i>He's up at three.</i>

00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:33.510
<i>The referee wipes his gloves.</i>

00:57:41.180 --> 00:57:44.390
That's it!
No daylight!

00:57:44.600 --> 00:57:46.140
Take it to him!

00:57:46.560 --> 00:57:48.270
<i>Another big right by Braddock!</i>

00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:49.900
Finish him, Jimmy!

00:57:57.200 --> 00:57:59.910
Knock him back
to the goddamn Ozarks!

00:58:02.450 --> 00:58:03.910
<i>Griffin is ready to go!</i>

00:58:05.830 --> 00:58:07.210
Be careful.

00:58:07.500 --> 00:58:08.880
Get back.

00:58:09.500 --> 00:58:12.000
Get back there.
Get back in your corner.

00:58:17.300 --> 00:58:18.470
Jimmy!

00:58:22.100 --> 00:58:24.560
<i>This fight is over!
This is incredible!</i>

00:58:24.640 --> 00:58:27.480
<i>Corn Griffin, the number two
contender in the world...</i>

00:58:27.520 --> 00:58:30.980
<i>has just been knocked out by
Jim Braddock in the third round!</i>

00:58:31.060 --> 00:58:32.400
<i>What an upset!</i>

00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:34.150
You son of a bitch!

00:58:34.230 --> 00:58:36.450
<i>It's pandemonium here
in the Garden!</i>

00:58:36.490 --> 00:58:38.950
That's it, man, he did it!
I don't believe it!

00:58:41.030 --> 00:58:43.080
You beautiful bastard!

00:58:44.910 --> 00:58:46.710
Settle down,
for Chris's sake!

00:58:49.120 --> 00:58:50.710
Jesus H. Christ!

00:58:51.460 --> 00:58:55.170
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Mary Magdalene...

00:58:55.210 --> 00:58:58.090
all the saints and martyrs
and Jesus!

00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:00.510
Did I say "Jesus"?

00:59:01.680 --> 00:59:03.180
Where the hell did
that come from?

00:59:03.220 --> 00:59:04.720
I don't know.
When my hand was broke...

00:59:04.810 --> 00:59:07.060
I had to work down on the
docks and I had to use my left.

00:59:07.140 --> 00:59:10.020
So, what?
No, that and luck.

00:59:10.060 --> 00:59:12.150
Luck?
Sheer dumb-ass Irish luck.

00:59:12.230 --> 00:59:14.520
Don't give me that
luck-of-the-lrish crap. No, sir.

00:59:14.570 --> 00:59:17.650
Lucky? That's something you ain't
been in a long time, brother.

00:59:17.900 --> 00:59:18.990
Everybody's due.

00:59:19.070 --> 00:59:20.860
Due or not, I'll take it.
You had the left.

00:59:20.950 --> 00:59:22.700
The left. But you were bouncy.

00:59:23.160 --> 00:59:25.410
You were bouncing.

00:59:27.080 --> 00:59:31.000
Unbelievable. Sliding,
slipping. You were like a cat.

00:59:31.080 --> 00:59:32.460
I did that on hash.

00:59:33.090 --> 00:59:36.170
Imagine what I would’ve done to
him if I'd had a couple of steaks.

00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:39.050
Jimmy?

00:59:40.470 --> 00:59:42.220
That was one hell of
a good-bye.

00:59:49.430 --> 00:59:51.850
Here you go, fellas!
Have at him!

01:00:22.970 --> 01:00:24.640
Jesus Christ!

01:00:27.930 --> 01:00:29.600
Murder him, Maxie!

01:00:31.310 --> 01:00:32.770
Primo!

01:00:33.770 --> 01:00:34.810
This is fighting?

01:00:34.900 --> 01:00:37.610
Why doesn't he just hit him
with a goddamn chair?

01:00:41.030 --> 01:00:43.110
Griffin was supposed to fight
Baer next.

01:00:43.860 --> 01:00:46.780
He should kiss your ass for
saving him from that thing.

01:01:08.100 --> 01:01:09.810
Throw him down, Maxie!

01:01:10.640 --> 01:01:12.480
Give it to him, Maxie!

01:01:26.530 --> 01:01:28.200
<i>Ladies and gentlemen...</i>

01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:31.450
<i>the new heavyweight champion
of the world...</i>

01:01:31.540 --> 01:01:33.000
<i>Max Baer!</i>

01:01:46.050 --> 01:01:47.800
Come on! He's home.

01:02:16.370 --> 01:02:17.540
I won.

01:02:18.920 --> 01:02:21.880
Hooray, he won!
I knew you'd win!

01:02:25.050 --> 01:02:27.050
He won, he won, he won!

01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:32.560
Get the silverware.

01:02:34.220 --> 01:02:37.940
So was it like you said? Or
are they letting you back in?

01:02:40.900 --> 01:02:42.650
No, baby.
It was just one fight.

01:02:57.250 --> 01:03:00.170
All right, I need seven men,
and seven only!

01:03:00.790 --> 01:03:04.460
One. Two. Three.

01:03:09.180 --> 01:03:11.510
Four. Five.

01:03:14.390 --> 01:03:15.600
Thanks.

01:03:16.810 --> 01:03:18.100
Braddock!

01:03:24.820 --> 01:03:26.900
Listened in last night.
Was that really you?

01:03:30.240 --> 01:03:31.240
Yeah.

01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:33.280
Didn't think
I'd be seeing you back here.

01:03:33.370 --> 01:03:35.290
It came up at the last minute,
you know?

01:03:35.370 --> 01:03:37.790
It was a one-fight deal.
The purse was $250.

01:03:37.830 --> 01:03:40.790
My end of that was a little less
than half. It was, like, $123.

01:03:40.830 --> 01:03:42.920
We owed $118.
Left me with $5.

01:03:43.630 --> 01:03:45.500
Makes you a rich man, huh?
Around here.

01:03:46.300 --> 01:03:48.220
Good fight.
Thanks.

01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:50.130
Dock seven.
Seven.

01:03:56.350 --> 01:03:58.180
Hey, Jim.
Hey, Mike.

01:04:04.110 --> 01:04:05.860
Good fight.
Thanks.

01:04:11.450 --> 01:04:13.950
I wouldn't have hit Sara.
I know, Mike.

01:04:14.370 --> 01:04:16.620
I couldn't live with myself
if I'd have hit her.

01:04:19.370 --> 01:04:21.370
Just get so angry
with all this shit.

01:04:25.250 --> 01:04:29.010
You know, if you were gonna
win, you could’ve told me.

01:04:29.380 --> 01:04:31.970
If I knew I was gonna win,
I would’ve bet on myself.

01:04:32.590 --> 01:04:35.550
Why can't you ever listen
to me? I don't know.

01:04:36.510 --> 01:04:39.180
<i>... to determine whether
the strikers were willing...</i>

01:04:39.270 --> 01:04:41.440
<i>to submit to
an arbitration situation.</i>

01:04:42.190 --> 01:04:44.860
<i>Tension pervaded the New
York waterfront yesterday.</i>

01:04:46.020 --> 01:04:48.070
Why don't you go play
with the boys, sweetheart?

01:04:48.150 --> 01:04:49.150
Be careful.

01:04:51.700 --> 01:04:53.450
Hey, Rosy.
Hi, Daddy!

01:04:59.370 --> 01:05:02.500
You know,
Joe Gould was just here.

01:05:02.870 --> 01:05:04.290
Yeah, I saw.
You did?

01:05:07.210 --> 01:05:11.550
He thinks the Commission
might be willing to...

01:05:12.380 --> 01:05:13.840
reverse their ruling.

01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:15.840
He thinks he can get me
another fight.

01:05:16.600 --> 01:05:19.560
He wants me to stop working
and get back in shape.

01:05:21.100 --> 01:05:23.060
I thought it was
just the one fight.

01:05:24.390 --> 01:05:25.730
Well, yeah.

01:05:29.820 --> 01:05:33.030
He fronted us $175
so I can train.

01:05:35.990 --> 01:05:37.780
You know what that is
right there?

01:05:38.080 --> 01:05:39.490
That's a second chance.

01:05:40.990 --> 01:05:42.370
That's what that is.

01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:48.290
It's not that
I'm not grateful...

01:05:50.130 --> 01:05:53.420
or proud, honey.
I'm so proud of you.

01:05:55.470 --> 01:05:58.430
But we got off easy
when you broke that hand.

01:06:00.100 --> 01:06:01.430
We're back to even now.

01:06:01.520 --> 01:06:04.520
Right. And nine months from
now, we're back in the same boat.

01:06:04.600 --> 01:06:05.810
Baby, please.

01:06:06.100 --> 01:06:08.520
We just don't have anything
left to risk.

01:06:08.610 --> 01:06:09.730
Mae.

01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:14.650
There's still some juice in these
legs, and I can still take a few.

01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:16.450
Baby, please.

01:06:19.030 --> 01:06:21.030
Just let me take them
in the ring.

01:06:21.120 --> 01:06:22.910
At least I know
who's hitting me.

01:06:40.180 --> 01:06:41.850
I'm gonna go
and tell the kids.

01:06:42.850 --> 01:06:45.270
Jay! Guess what.
What?

01:06:46.100 --> 01:06:48.480
I got another fight!
Who with?

01:06:48.560 --> 01:06:52.070
I don't know, but he's
going down. Hey, Howard.

01:07:30.650 --> 01:07:31.810
Jesus.

01:07:33.980 --> 01:07:35.440
Joe, open the door.

01:07:38.150 --> 01:07:40.110
Joe! Open the damn door!

01:07:40.530 --> 01:07:44.200
Don't hide in your fancy
apartment. I want to talk to you.

01:07:45.870 --> 01:07:49.670
You are not gonna make my husband
your punching bag all over again.

01:07:49.710 --> 01:07:52.330
We are just getting by, and
you're taking him from his work...

01:07:52.380 --> 01:07:54.670
like some bloodsucking
little leech!

01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:57.590
And I will not let you get
him hurt again like that...

01:07:57.670 --> 01:08:00.180
do you hear me?
I will not let you!

01:08:03.850 --> 01:08:05.260
Guess you better come in.

01:08:17.230 --> 01:08:18.570
How is it?

01:08:18.780 --> 01:08:20.570
Too sweet per usual.

01:08:20.900 --> 01:08:22.570
Really? Go figure.

01:08:23.370 --> 01:08:25.240
Yours?
Nice, thanks.

01:08:28.040 --> 01:08:29.200
Sorry about that.

01:08:32.170 --> 01:08:34.630
You just don't want folks
to see you down is all.

01:08:35.670 --> 01:08:37.880
I didn't know.
I mean, I thought that...

01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:42.510
Yeah, no. That's the idea.
Always keep your hands up.

01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:51.600
Sold the last of it
two days ago.

01:08:52.770 --> 01:08:54.060
So Jimmy could train.

01:08:55.270 --> 01:08:56.520
Why?

01:09:02.700 --> 01:09:04.950
Sometimes you have
an instinct, Mae.

01:09:05.910 --> 01:09:08.040
You see something
in a fighter.

01:09:10.580 --> 01:09:14.080
You don't even know if it's real,
you're looking for it so bad.

01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:23.340
Can't have no hope at all.

01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:25.930
But this is crazy.

01:09:25.970 --> 01:09:28.680
I mean, you don't even know
if you can get him a fight.

01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:30.140
I'll get him a fight.

01:09:30.180 --> 01:09:33.190
Believe me, if it's the last
thing I do, I'll get him a fight.

01:09:33.270 --> 01:09:35.730
Honey. Go get us some
of those crackers, would you?

01:09:38.020 --> 01:09:39.820
She looks good
wearing the pants.

01:09:54.330 --> 01:09:56.040
Can you ever stop yours?

01:09:57.420 --> 01:09:59.210
When he sets his mind
to a thing?

01:10:03.630 --> 01:10:05.130
I wish I could.

01:10:07.390 --> 01:10:09.300
See, I never know
who it's harder on...

01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:10.930
them or us.

01:10:11.810 --> 01:10:14.270
We have to wait for them
to fix everything.

01:10:17.190 --> 01:10:18.440
And every day...

01:10:21.730 --> 01:10:23.530
they feel like
they're failing us.

01:10:24.950 --> 01:10:27.700
And really, it's just the
world that's failed, you know?

01:10:34.750 --> 01:10:38.500
This is a lovely apartment. Thank you.

01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:43.920
Now, what am I gonna go
and do that for?

01:10:44.380 --> 01:10:46.050
You saw the papers.

01:10:46.130 --> 01:10:49.180
"News" had to print extra copies
the day after Braddock's fight.

01:10:49.220 --> 01:10:52.350
People are sentimental, you
know. Some people are sentimental.

01:10:52.390 --> 01:10:53.890
Yeah, so tell me why I care.

01:10:55.310 --> 01:10:58.400
You're still sore over the way
Braddock took down Griffin, fine.

01:10:58.480 --> 01:11:01.520
I can understand that. It was a
heartbreak for a lot of people.

01:11:01.570 --> 01:11:03.190
Yes. But look.

01:11:06.860 --> 01:11:08.910
You got guys fighting
an elimination series...

01:11:08.990 --> 01:11:12.080
over who gets a shot at Max Baer
for the championship in June.

01:11:12.410 --> 01:11:14.910
John Henry Lewis,
he's your number two in line.

01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:18.040
Now, he already defeated
Braddock once in Frisco, correct?

01:11:19.170 --> 01:11:22.040
Say you put Braddock back
in the game against Lewis.

01:11:22.090 --> 01:11:24.590
Lewis wins, you get your
revenge on Braddock...

01:11:24.670 --> 01:11:26.970
and your boy has gotten
a topflight tune-up...

01:11:27.050 --> 01:11:29.640
with full publicity before
Lasky, and what happens?

01:11:29.720 --> 01:11:31.220
You make more money.

01:11:34.430 --> 01:11:38.440
Now, say on the other hand, by
some minute, infinitesimal chance...

01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:40.480
God forbid,
Braddock beats Lewis.

01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:42.360
Now you got a sentimental
favorite go up...

01:11:42.440 --> 01:11:44.690
and lose against Lasky,
and what happens?

01:11:44.780 --> 01:11:46.440
You'll make more money.

01:11:46.940 --> 01:11:48.610
James, either way...

01:11:48.700 --> 01:11:52.120
you're a richer man with Braddock
back in the ring than if he's not.

01:11:52.410 --> 01:11:55.790
Come on, don't be foolish. We
both know the name of this game.

01:11:57.620 --> 01:11:59.500
And it sure as hell
ain't "pugilism."

01:12:12.140 --> 01:12:14.810
They ought to put your mouth
in a circus.

01:12:15.970 --> 01:12:17.600
What do you say?

01:12:19.350 --> 01:12:21.730
Don't chase him.
Go around, cut him off.

01:12:22.560 --> 01:12:23.650
Time!
James!

01:12:25.820 --> 01:12:27.780
I got you a fight.
Yeah?

01:12:27.820 --> 01:12:30.070
You're gonna fight
John Henry Lewis again.

01:12:30.150 --> 01:12:31.280
Yeah!

01:12:31.360 --> 01:12:32.860
Joey! I could kiss you!

01:12:32.950 --> 01:12:35.370
No, please,
not in front of the fellas.

01:12:35.620 --> 01:12:37.950
Isn't John Henry
one of Johnston's boys?

01:12:38.160 --> 01:12:39.830
You let me worry about that,
please.

01:12:39.870 --> 01:12:43.000
Now I know why you won't kiss me.
You're all puckered out already.

01:12:43.670 --> 01:12:45.170
Brother, you have no idea.

01:12:45.590 --> 01:12:48.300
Lewis?
Kicked our ass in Frisco.

01:12:48.340 --> 01:12:50.630
Yeah. Hey, Mike.
Who's "our ass" up there?

01:12:50.670 --> 01:12:52.800
Joe Gould, Mike Wilson.
Mike Wilson, Joe Gould.

01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:54.010
Hi.

01:12:54.090 --> 01:12:56.010
That guy ain't been beat
in ten fights.

01:12:56.100 --> 01:12:59.140
But you win on a long shot, and
that's a great payday for me.

01:13:00.140 --> 01:13:02.190
That's great.
I'll keep that in mind, Mike!

01:13:02.270 --> 01:13:05.150
You got more important things
to think about. Come here.

01:13:05.810 --> 01:13:08.530
Now, I ain't gonna
bullshit you, all right?

01:13:09.030 --> 01:13:11.070
Now, you win one,
I can get you another.

01:13:11.150 --> 01:13:15.200
Win again and then things maybe
start getting serious around here.

01:13:15.780 --> 01:13:16.950
Jimmy?

01:13:18.540 --> 01:13:19.620
Win.

01:13:36.300 --> 01:13:37.390
Look good.

01:13:39.510 --> 01:13:40.810
Leverage.

01:13:50.230 --> 01:13:51.690
That's it, James!

01:13:51.780 --> 01:13:54.610
Be a bully, James!
Aggression, that's it.

01:14:16.720 --> 01:14:17.840
Thanks.

01:14:20.310 --> 01:14:22.180
I know this isn't
what you wanted...

01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:24.520
but I can't win
without you behind me.

01:14:25.940 --> 01:14:27.270
I'm always behind you.

01:14:28.440 --> 01:14:30.070
Thank you, baby.

01:14:32.610 --> 01:14:35.110
I got a great idea.
You want to come along?

01:14:35.530 --> 01:14:38.870
Come on, just this one time.
All right. Okay.

01:14:38.950 --> 01:14:41.240
Okay, I'll make that
a rain check then.

01:15:09.060 --> 01:15:11.980
<i>Lewis, still moving well here
in the fourth.</i>

01:15:12.320 --> 01:15:14.940
<i>He dances in and out
before Braddock can react.</i>

01:15:18.660 --> 01:15:20.570
Don't let him
set the pace, Jimmy!

01:15:23.660 --> 01:15:25.160
There you go.

01:15:28.460 --> 01:15:31.670
<i>Braddock slides to his right,
tries cutting down the ring.</i>

01:15:41.350 --> 01:15:43.930
John, get off the ropes.
Move out of there.

01:15:44.010 --> 01:15:45.640
<i>Lewis spins his way
off the ropes...</i>

01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:48.440
<i>And looks to resume control
at the bell!</i>

01:15:50.950 --> 01:15:54.240
#There we go. Suck it up.
Deep breath.

01:15:54.320 --> 01:15:55.990
Deep breath, deep.

01:15:56.240 --> 01:15:58.790
All right. That ain't bad. He's
even faster than I remember.

01:15:59.370 --> 01:16:01.830
Yeah. He's fast. Big deal.
You're not so bad yourself.

01:16:01.870 --> 01:16:04.590
What are you doing? You
beat this guy easy last time.

01:16:04.670 --> 01:16:07.000
He ain't the same guy.
You got to use your speed.

01:16:07.090 --> 01:16:09.470
Keep that jab in his face
and keep sliding to his right.

01:16:09.510 --> 01:16:11.180
You see that.
Keep him in front of you.

01:16:11.260 --> 01:16:12.300
Cut him off, all right?

01:16:12.340 --> 01:16:15.390
And let go with the punches.
Hit him! He ain't gonna like it.

01:16:15.470 --> 01:16:18.520
I guarantee you, the more
you hit this bastard...

01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:19.770
the slower he's gonna get.

01:16:19.850 --> 01:16:22.310
He's an old man. He's too
slow. He can't keep up with you.

01:16:22.390 --> 01:16:23.900
Come on. Use that jab.
How's that cut?

01:16:23.980 --> 01:16:24.980
He's all right.

01:16:25.020 --> 01:16:26.230
Knock the legs out
from under him.

01:16:26.320 --> 01:16:28.690
Trap him in the corner,
and really work him.

01:16:28.780 --> 01:16:30.320
Do not fight this fight
his way.

01:16:30.400 --> 01:16:32.700
You make him fight
this fight your way!

01:16:32.740 --> 01:16:34.030
Let's go. You got him.

01:16:37.870 --> 01:16:40.450
<i>A left to the body
and a hard right to the head!</i>

01:16:40.540 --> 01:16:43.170
<i>A left-right-left by Lewis.
His dancing shoes are off.</i>

01:16:43.210 --> 01:16:44.710
<i>It's a fight now, folks!</i>

01:16:46.710 --> 01:16:48.420
Work his body, Jim!

01:16:48.500 --> 01:16:50.260
<i>Braddock punching well
with both hands now.</i>

01:16:50.340 --> 01:16:52.880
<i>Toe to toe!
No one giving an inch.</i>

01:16:56.010 --> 01:16:57.680
<i>That left has some pop!</i>

01:16:58.510 --> 01:17:01.100
<i>Jimmy's hoping those body
shots will pay dividends.</i>

01:17:01.890 --> 01:17:03.810
Keep him in there!
Stay with him!

01:17:05.810 --> 01:17:08.360
Don't give him any room!
No room!

01:17:09.730 --> 01:17:11.190
Get out of the corner.

01:17:11.240 --> 01:17:13.280
<i>Braddock pushing
all the action now.</i>

01:17:13.360 --> 01:17:17.160
<i>Lewis can't discourage him.
Tremendous pressure from Jimmy.</i>

01:17:17.240 --> 01:17:20.740
<i>Lewis is running out of real
estate in this 24-foot ring.</i>

01:17:20.990 --> 01:17:22.160
Jump on him!

01:17:23.580 --> 01:17:25.250
<i>And Lewis is down!</i>

01:17:29.250 --> 01:17:30.880
Gotcha. Good boy.

01:17:30.960 --> 01:17:32.340
Get up!

01:17:33.510 --> 01:17:35.720
One.
There you go, get up!

01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:37.760
Two.
Come on.

01:17:37.850 --> 01:17:39.260
Three.

01:17:40.140 --> 01:17:43.230
Four. Five.

01:17:44.940 --> 01:17:45.980
Six.

01:17:50.400 --> 01:17:51.780
<i>The referee wipes his gloves</i>

01:17:51.820 --> 01:17:53.360
<i>and Braddock steams
back to ring center!</i>

01:17:53.440 --> 01:17:54.740
Close it down.

01:17:55.570 --> 01:17:57.110
<i>Another big right by Braddock!</i>

01:17:57.200 --> 01:18:00.740
<i>Lewis is just a piece of meat
as Braddock is carving him up!</i>

01:18:02.580 --> 01:18:05.870
<i>Braddock is now dominating
Lewis! Here comes Jimmy!</i>

01:18:19.340 --> 01:18:21.220
Side to side!
Side to side!

01:18:21.390 --> 01:18:23.930
<i>In the tenth, riding high
after his dazzling victory...</i>

01:18:24.020 --> 01:18:25.430
<i>over John Henry Lewis...</i>

01:18:25.520 --> 01:18:28.350
<i>Jim Braddock has just hit
a wall named Art Lasky.</i>

01:18:31.980 --> 01:18:33.690
He can't keep taking
those body shots.

01:18:33.780 --> 01:18:36.150
I know. He's cracked
a couple of ribs for sure.

01:18:38.710 --> 01:18:40.380
<i>Lasky walks through
those jabs...</i>

01:18:40.460 --> 01:18:42.420
<i>and keeps working
on Braddock's body.</i>

01:18:42.510 --> 01:18:44.090
<i>But Braddock won't told!</i>

01:18:44.180 --> 01:18:47.430
<i>He's making Lasky work hard
for every minute of every round.</i>

01:18:48.050 --> 01:18:49.720
That's it, get on him!

01:18:53.020 --> 01:18:55.600
There you go, James!
That's it!

01:19:02.400 --> 01:19:04.650
<i>Lasky's starting to
impose his will.</i>

01:19:04.740 --> 01:19:07.120
<i>He's showing why Jimmy
Johnston is making noises...</i>

01:19:07.200 --> 01:19:09.580
<i>about matching him
with Max Baer for the title.</i>

01:19:13.540 --> 01:19:14.920
Break it up!

01:19:15.750 --> 01:19:17.580
Come on. Break free.

01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:20.170
Break.

01:19:26.760 --> 01:19:29.180
Don't sit down. You're
not tired. You're fine.

01:19:29.260 --> 01:19:31.930
Get that thing out of here!
He don't need it!

01:19:32.020 --> 01:19:33.430
Is he looking over at you?

01:19:33.480 --> 01:19:35.450
Shake your head
like you don't need it.

01:19:35.500 --> 01:19:37.920
#Shake your head like
you don't want it. There.

01:19:38.010 --> 01:19:40.800
Why isn't he sitting down?
Pay attention.

01:19:40.840 --> 01:19:42.180
Yeah, now he's gonna wonder:

01:19:42.220 --> 01:19:44.800
If Braddock is such an old
man, why is he still standing?

01:19:44.890 --> 01:19:46.560
Why is he still
coming at me?

01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:50.850
You're stronger than this guy.
Don't back up! Don't back off!

01:19:51.810 --> 01:19:52.980
This guy is a bull-rusher.

01:19:53.020 --> 01:19:55.900
He's gonna keep coming at you
all night until you stop him.

01:19:56.230 --> 01:19:58.030
He can't back up.
You stop him.

01:19:59.030 --> 01:20:00.860
You gotta beat
this son of a bitch!

01:20:00.900 --> 01:20:03.610
You gotta beat this son of
a bitch from the inside out!

01:20:03.700 --> 01:20:05.570
You hear me?
You gotta get in there.

01:20:05.660 --> 01:20:07.160
You get in there
and you hit him...

01:20:07.200 --> 01:20:09.410
and you keep hitting him
until you break his nose.

01:20:09.490 --> 01:20:11.710
You fill his face with blood.

01:20:12.500 --> 01:20:15.790
Beat him from the inside
out, Jim! From the inside out!

01:20:16.340 --> 01:20:18.050
<i>Lasky continues to tire.</i>

01:20:18.130 --> 01:20:20.380
<i>Braddock looks like
he's finally starting to wilt.</i>

01:20:20.460 --> 01:20:22.380
That's it!
That's more like it!

01:20:24.590 --> 01:20:25.760
Back him up!

01:20:27.930 --> 01:20:30.140
<i>Lasky now looking
to put a Grimm ending...</i>

01:20:30.220 --> 01:20:32.060
<i>to Braddock's
fairy-tale comeback.</i>

01:20:32.100 --> 01:20:34.060
<i>Lasky pounding hard shots
to the body.</i>

01:20:38.020 --> 01:20:40.030
<i>Braddock just took
a tremendous shot!</i>

01:20:40.070 --> 01:20:42.280
<i>A hard right to the head
which knocked his mouthpiece...</i>

01:20:42.360 --> 01:20:43.530
<i>to the canvas.</i>

01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:14.940
<i>Braddock just took
Lasky's best shot!</i>

01:21:14.980 --> 01:21:16.560
<i>And it didn't even faze him!</i>

01:21:36.870 --> 01:21:38.670
Get in there
and take that sucker!

01:21:40.420 --> 01:21:42.550
<i>He's showing
tremendous determination!</i>

01:21:48.300 --> 01:21:50.470
Right in there
and get his nose!

01:21:57.060 --> 01:21:59.060
<i>Braddock comes in
with a hard shot to the body!</i>

01:21:59.150 --> 01:22:01.150
<i>The younger Lasky looks
like he's starting to wilt...</i>

01:22:01.230 --> 01:22:03.230
<i>under the pressure from
the Bulldog of North Bergen.</i>

01:22:04.690 --> 01:22:06.280
<i>Braddock is now
back on the attack!</i>

01:22:07.240 --> 01:22:08.990
<i>Another vicious combination
by Braddock!</i>

01:22:09.070 --> 01:22:10.990
<i>And Lasky's flowing blood
from the nose!</i>

01:22:11.660 --> 01:22:13.490
<i>The 15th and final round.</i>

01:22:13.580 --> 01:22:15.580
<i>Braddock now looks
like the younger fighter...</i>

01:22:15.660 --> 01:22:17.330
<i>and grimly determined.</i>

01:22:17.370 --> 01:22:20.250
<i>The Garden is on its feet! Jim
Braddock will not be denied!</i>

01:22:21.420 --> 01:22:24.670
<i>There's the bell! This
one goes to the scorecards.</i>

01:22:26.920 --> 01:22:30.890
<i>And the winner
by unanimous decision...</i>

01:22:31.350 --> 01:22:33.680
<i>James J. Braddock!</i>

01:22:51.870 --> 01:22:53.370
Thanks, buddy.

01:22:57.370 --> 01:22:58.750
Max?
What?

01:23:01.750 --> 01:23:03.540
Save a little bit of it...

01:23:03.590 --> 01:23:05.250
Jimmy Braddock
just beat Lasky.

01:23:05.630 --> 01:23:07.300
They made him
the number one contender.

01:23:07.380 --> 01:23:09.050
Max, when are we gonna go to... Shut up.

01:23:09.130 --> 01:23:11.010
Maxie, you...
Shut up!

01:23:18.730 --> 01:23:21.230
I'm not gonna fight Jimmy
Braddock. He's a chump.

01:23:22.560 --> 01:23:26.820
You tell Johnston to bring me
somebody who can fight back.

01:23:27.400 --> 01:23:30.360
You gonna bust your contract?
It's done, Max.

01:23:43.000 --> 01:23:45.040
That's him? Yeah?
Yes, it is.

01:23:45.130 --> 01:23:47.090
I'm telling you.
That's Braddock.

01:24:29.210 --> 01:24:30.710
Hey, Mrs. Braddock.

01:24:34.470 --> 01:24:35.890
Sara's here.

01:24:36.260 --> 01:24:37.760
Yeah?
Yeah.

01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:39.180
I got her to sleep.

01:24:40.720 --> 01:24:41.980
Hey, Jim.

01:24:44.350 --> 01:24:46.150
Mike's gone missing.

01:24:47.310 --> 01:24:48.610
How long?

01:24:50.360 --> 01:24:51.780
Three days.

01:24:52.440 --> 01:24:54.990
I’ve been staying at my
brother's since Jake cut him.

01:24:55.820 --> 01:24:58.370
Jake fired him?
I didn't know that.

01:24:58.580 --> 01:25:02.580
You know how Mike gets.
All his talk. So much trouble.

01:25:04.830 --> 01:25:07.330
He's been sleeping nights
down in the Hooverville.

01:25:07.880 --> 01:25:10.250
My brother didn't have room
for both him and us.

01:25:10.880 --> 01:25:13.880
Mike said, you know, if he had
to stay down there anyway...

01:25:13.970 --> 01:25:16.470
he was gonna try
to get everybody organized.

01:25:17.680 --> 01:25:20.560
Something's wrong, Jim.
I know it.

01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:24.230
Now I'm hearing there's
some trouble in Hooverville.

01:25:25.060 --> 01:25:27.480
He wouldn't leave me
and the baby for this long.

01:25:29.190 --> 01:25:30.860
He just wouldn't.

01:25:32.110 --> 01:25:34.190
I didn't know
who else to come to, Jim.

01:25:42.790 --> 01:25:45.580
Come on, out of the way!
Beat it! Move along!

01:25:54.670 --> 01:25:57.090
Get the hell out of here,
coppers!

01:25:59.550 --> 01:26:01.560
Mike? Mike Wilson!

01:26:03.810 --> 01:26:04.810
Mike Wilson!

01:26:07.890 --> 01:26:10.270
...do nothing. If you let
these Commies in here...

01:26:10.360 --> 01:26:13.280
and start a riot, then what
do you think's gonna happen?

01:26:13.860 --> 01:26:15.070
Get over here.

01:26:15.150 --> 01:26:16.150
On your feet!

01:26:16.820 --> 01:26:19.660
You pull a knife on me,
you son of a bitch?

01:26:24.330 --> 01:26:25.910
What the hell happened here?

01:26:26.000 --> 01:26:28.670
We tried to break up these
agitators, peaceful-like...

01:26:28.750 --> 01:26:30.630
but they charged us.
What is this?

01:26:30.710 --> 01:26:32.790
The horses got spooked.
Wagons turned over.

01:26:32.880 --> 01:26:35.090
Three or four of them got run
over. They're hurt pretty bad.

01:26:35.670 --> 01:26:37.630
This is a mess.
One hell of a mess.

01:26:37.720 --> 01:26:40.260
What did I tell you?
Get back.

01:26:41.220 --> 01:26:43.560
Don't move those two.
Wait for the stretcher.

01:26:44.180 --> 01:26:46.220
Keep those bastards back!

01:26:48.440 --> 01:26:51.270
Get those guys next,
the ones who got trampled on.

01:26:58.820 --> 01:27:01.660
Hey, Jim.
Mike.

01:27:06.500 --> 01:27:07.950
You're gonna be okay, Mike.

01:27:08.040 --> 01:27:09.620
Yeah, tell Sara.

01:27:10.500 --> 01:27:12.750
Will you tell her I'm
gonna be... I'll tell Sara.

01:27:12.790 --> 01:27:14.460
I'm gonna be late, Jimmy.

01:27:55.540 --> 01:27:57.500
Our Father,
who art in heaven,

01:27:57.550 --> 01:27:58.920
Hallowed be thy name.

01:27:59.010 --> 01:28:03.430
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven.

01:28:04.340 --> 01:28:06.350
Give us this day
our daily bread.

01:28:06.430 --> 01:28:08.850
And forgive us
our trespasses...

01:28:08.890 --> 01:28:11.850
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

01:28:11.980 --> 01:28:16.190
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

01:28:28.740 --> 01:28:30.040
How about it, Pete?

01:28:30.080 --> 01:28:31.830
All right, fellas.
Fellas, that's it.

01:28:31.870 --> 01:28:34.000
Now, keep your questions short
and to the point.

01:28:34.080 --> 01:28:35.790
We're gonna
start off with Frank Essex.

01:28:35.880 --> 01:28:37.210
Frank Essex.

01:28:37.290 --> 01:28:38.840
All right, take it easy,
Petey, jeez.

01:28:38.920 --> 01:28:40.210
Frank Essex, "Daily News."

01:28:40.260 --> 01:28:42.010
You got a lot of reporters
here today.

01:28:42.050 --> 01:28:44.220
A lot of people are interested
in this fight.

01:28:44.300 --> 01:28:46.600
What do you got to say
to your fans today, Jimmy?

01:28:49.390 --> 01:28:51.810
I guess I'm grateful
for the opportunity.

01:28:55.230 --> 01:28:58.110
I know that these days not
everybody gets a second chance.

01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:01.530
You know, I have a lot
to be grateful for.

01:29:01.610 --> 01:29:05.570
You know, I have three beautiful,
healthy, troublemaking kids.

01:29:08.080 --> 01:29:10.540
You know, I have the prettiest
wife a man could wish for...

01:29:10.620 --> 01:29:12.200
Bob Johnson, "Boston Globe."

01:29:12.950 --> 01:29:17.210
Two days ago, we ran a story about
you giving your relief money back.

01:29:17.750 --> 01:29:19.090
Can you tell our readers why?

01:29:22.050 --> 01:29:24.630
I believe we live
in a great country.

01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:28.430
A country that's great enough
to help a man financially...

01:29:28.510 --> 01:29:30.310
when he's in trouble.

01:29:31.180 --> 01:29:35.270
But lately I have had some good
fortune and I'm back in the black.

01:29:36.980 --> 01:29:38.560
And I just thought
I should return it.

01:29:39.150 --> 01:29:40.400
Wilson, you're up.

01:29:40.440 --> 01:29:41.480
Yeah, over here.

01:29:41.570 --> 01:29:43.570
Listen, what's the first thing
you're gonna do...

01:29:43.610 --> 01:29:44.700
if you make world champion?

01:29:45.530 --> 01:29:49.280
First thing, I'm gonna have
to go and buy some turtles.

01:29:49.450 --> 01:29:50.660
What's that? Turtles?

01:29:50.740 --> 01:29:52.160
Yeah, well,
I said to the kids when...

01:29:52.240 --> 01:29:53.700
I was leaving the house
this morning...

01:29:53.790 --> 01:29:55.370
that I was gonna
bring back the title...

01:29:55.460 --> 01:29:57.250
and they thought
I said turtle.

01:29:58.960 --> 01:29:59.960
Yeah.

01:30:00.040 --> 01:30:01.750
So naturally,
I don't want to let them down.

01:30:01.800 --> 01:30:03.920
But if I could bring home
the title and a turtle...

01:30:03.960 --> 01:30:05.880
they sure would be tickled.

01:30:05.970 --> 01:30:08.090
You got that?
Title, turtle, right?

01:30:08.140 --> 01:30:10.970
Jake Greenblatt
from "Chicago Trib."

01:30:11.760 --> 01:30:13.600
Hello, Jake.
It's been a while.

01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:14.980
What's changed, Jimmy?

01:30:15.020 --> 01:30:18.060
I mean, you couldn't win a
fight for love or money, right?

01:30:18.150 --> 01:30:20.150
How do you explain
your comeback?

01:30:20.400 --> 01:30:21.860
Well, you know,
the truth is, Jake...

01:30:21.940 --> 01:30:24.360
for a number of years there
we was fighting injured.

01:30:25.110 --> 01:30:28.160
I broke my hand
more than once.

01:30:29.070 --> 01:30:31.580
I got in a car accident one
time, we was on the road...

01:30:31.660 --> 01:30:33.950
and I had to get that fixed.

01:30:34.750 --> 01:30:36.710
I had a run of bad luck.

01:30:39.040 --> 01:30:42.210
And, this time around,
I know what I'm fighting for.

01:30:42.290 --> 01:30:44.300
Yeah? What's that, Jimmy?

01:30:45.340 --> 01:30:46.420
Milk.

01:30:46.590 --> 01:30:47.720
Milk?

01:30:48.510 --> 01:30:50.470
<i>Sporty Lewis,
New York Herald.</i>

01:30:50.840 --> 01:30:52.010
Sporty.

01:30:52.220 --> 01:30:54.010
Actually, my question's
for Mrs. Braddock.

01:30:54.810 --> 01:30:57.850
Mrs. Braddock, my readers
would love to know...

01:30:58.060 --> 01:31:00.350
how do you feel
about the fact that...

01:31:00.770 --> 01:31:02.520
Max Baer's killed two men
in the ring?

01:31:03.980 --> 01:31:05.780
So how do you feel
about that, ma’am?

01:31:06.360 --> 01:31:08.280
Are you scared
for your husband's life?

01:31:08.360 --> 01:31:11.200
She's scared for Max Baer, is
who she's scared for, Mr. Lewis.

01:31:11.280 --> 01:31:14.370
Okay, how about
one more question, folks?

01:31:25.380 --> 01:31:26.960
Said downstairs you wanted
to see us.

01:31:27.050 --> 01:31:28.920
Joe, Jim, come on in.
Have a seat.

01:31:30.760 --> 01:31:32.140
Right here.

01:31:34.550 --> 01:31:36.560
Editorial says
this fight is good as murder.

01:31:38.060 --> 01:31:40.850
And everybody associated with
it should be hauled into court...

01:31:40.890 --> 01:31:42.520
and prosecuted afterwards.

01:31:42.560 --> 01:31:44.690
They say the paper's getting
all sorts of letters...

01:31:44.770 --> 01:31:46.650
from people saying
you're their inspiration.

01:31:46.730 --> 01:31:48.440
Like you saved their lives
or something.

01:31:48.530 --> 01:31:50.490
If you ask me,
it's a lot of crap.

01:31:50.860 --> 01:31:52.530
But if I'm gonna
promote this fight...

01:31:52.570 --> 01:31:55.240
I'm not getting hung out to
dry if something happens to you.

01:31:55.330 --> 01:31:56.660
You're all heart.

01:31:57.790 --> 01:31:59.250
My heart's for my family, Joe.

01:31:59.290 --> 01:32:00.870
My brains and my balls
are for business...

01:32:00.960 --> 01:32:01.960
and this is business.

01:32:02.040 --> 01:32:03.830
You got me?
Gotcha.

01:32:08.090 --> 01:32:10.670
You will know exactly
what you're up against.

01:32:11.880 --> 01:32:13.340
And my attorney,
Mr. Mills...

01:32:13.430 --> 01:32:16.470
will witness that I’ve done
everything in my power to warn you.

01:32:19.810 --> 01:32:21.770
You know,
I seen the Carnera fight.

01:32:22.690 --> 01:32:24.310
Carnera's height saved him.

01:32:24.400 --> 01:32:26.190
He was knocked down 12 times.

01:32:26.270 --> 01:32:28.980
Exactly. Would’ve been worse
if he was shorter.

01:32:29.070 --> 01:32:32.030
Baer had to punch up to hit
him. Took a little something off.

01:32:41.000 --> 01:32:42.580
That's Frankie Campbell.

01:32:43.250 --> 01:32:45.420
Stand-up fighter,
knows how to take a punch.

01:32:47.210 --> 01:32:48.800
His style familiar, Jim?

01:32:50.300 --> 01:32:53.930
Like looking in a mirror, huh?
Hey, he don't need to see this.

01:32:53.970 --> 01:32:55.760
He'll see it
or I'll call off the fight.

01:33:07.440 --> 01:33:09.400
You see that combination?

01:33:09.480 --> 01:33:11.150
Campbell didn't go down
on the first punch.

01:33:11.230 --> 01:33:12.990
He was a tough guy.

01:33:13.820 --> 01:33:16.780
Second one killed him
on the spot.

01:33:23.660 --> 01:33:26.000
Just cut it off, will you?

01:33:32.340 --> 01:33:35.970
The autopsy said that his
brain was knocked loose...

01:33:36.510 --> 01:33:37.970
from the connecting tissue.

01:33:40.600 --> 01:33:43.230
Consider your ass
fully covered, okay?

01:33:46.810 --> 01:33:48.310
Run it again.

01:34:53.670 --> 01:34:55.420
Remember Ernie Schaaf?

01:34:55.460 --> 01:34:57.760
Nice guy.
You lost one to him in ‘31.

01:34:58.680 --> 01:35:00.930
Ernie took one of those
on the chin from Baer.

01:35:01.430 --> 01:35:03.010
He was dead
and didn't know it.

01:35:03.100 --> 01:35:06.060
Next fight, first little nothing
jab put him to sleep forever.

01:35:06.140 --> 01:35:07.560
Detached brain, they said.

01:35:10.440 --> 01:35:11.560
Joe?

01:35:12.940 --> 01:35:14.270
No snappy comeback?

01:35:16.440 --> 01:35:19.530
It ain't my skull the guy's
gonna try and stove in.

01:35:20.570 --> 01:35:21.570
You want to think about it?

01:35:24.410 --> 01:35:25.830
You think
you're telling me something?

01:35:27.750 --> 01:35:30.920
What, like, boxing's
dangerous, something like that?

01:35:33.130 --> 01:35:35.880
You don't think triple shifts or
working nights on the scaffolds...

01:35:35.960 --> 01:35:37.380
is just as likely
to get a guy killed?

01:35:39.010 --> 01:35:42.090
How many guys died the other
night living in cardboard shacks...

01:35:42.140 --> 01:35:43.220
trying to save on rent money?

01:35:44.220 --> 01:35:47.390
Guys who were trying to feed their
family. ‘Cause men like you...

01:35:47.470 --> 01:35:49.810
have not yet quite figured out
a way to make money...

01:35:49.850 --> 01:35:51.190
out of watching that guy die.

01:35:51.270 --> 01:35:54.650
In my profession,
and it's my profession...

01:35:56.570 --> 01:35:57.570
I'm a little more fortunate.

01:36:03.990 --> 01:36:07.620
All righty then. You guys
have dinner here tonight.

01:36:08.120 --> 01:36:09.540
Take your wives. It's on me.

01:36:10.250 --> 01:36:11.620
We'll snap some pics
on your way out.

01:36:12.670 --> 01:36:14.040
If you change your
mind tomorrow...

01:36:14.130 --> 01:36:15.840
at least we got some
good press out of it.

01:36:15.920 --> 01:36:17.800
Good. Come on.

01:36:29.810 --> 01:36:31.690
It's gorgeous!

01:36:33.350 --> 01:36:35.520
Jimmy, can we get silver
faucets? Of course.

01:36:35.610 --> 01:36:37.610
How many you want? A dozen?
Right.

01:36:37.690 --> 01:36:40.110
Listen. A little bird told me
to check the evening edition.

01:36:40.190 --> 01:36:41.650
So let's see what we got.

01:36:42.700 --> 01:36:45.320
Boxer Jim Braddock
has come back from the dead...

01:36:45.370 --> 01:36:48.290
to change the face of courage
in our nation.

01:36:48.830 --> 01:36:51.080
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.

01:36:51.200 --> 01:36:53.620
Sporty Lewis wrote that.
Sporty Lewis?

01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:56.380
Yeah. And get this.

01:36:56.710 --> 01:36:58.460
In a land that's
downtrodden...

01:36:58.550 --> 01:37:02.260
Braddock's comeback is
giving hope to every American.

01:37:03.880 --> 01:37:06.090
People who were ready
to throw in the towel...

01:37:06.180 --> 01:37:09.600
are finding inspiration in
their new hero, Jim Braddock.

01:37:10.220 --> 01:37:12.640
As Damon Runyon
has already written...

01:37:12.730 --> 01:37:16.190
he's truly
the Cinderella Man.

01:37:17.020 --> 01:37:18.690
Cinderella Man?
Yeah.

01:37:18.730 --> 01:37:22.610
Oh, I like it. It's kind of
girly. Yeah, kind of. Yeah.

01:37:22.690 --> 01:37:25.070
Oh, brother.
Yeah, this is gonna be fun.

01:37:25.320 --> 01:37:27.200
Excuse me.
Jim.

01:37:28.530 --> 01:37:31.410
I'm not quite finished yet.
Beg your pardon, sir.

01:37:31.540 --> 01:37:32.870
Thank you.

01:37:33.330 --> 01:37:36.120
You know what?
I got the bill here. Yeah.

01:37:36.420 --> 01:37:39.380
Johnston. He's a big spender.
He's gonna leave a big, big tip.

01:37:39.460 --> 01:37:41.420
Yeah.
He's a real peach.

01:37:41.460 --> 01:37:43.300
Gotta love the guy.
Right, sweetie?

01:37:43.380 --> 01:37:45.130
Look at this.
This is me?

01:37:45.220 --> 01:37:46.220
I know it is.

01:37:50.140 --> 01:37:51.260
Jimmy.

01:38:10.950 --> 01:38:12.040
Oh, boy.

01:38:13.910 --> 01:38:17.290
You think Johnston set that
up? Oh, yeah. I think. Maybe.

01:38:17.330 --> 01:38:19.420
A few extra pics
for the dailies.

01:38:20.880 --> 01:38:22.920
From the gentleman
who just arrived.

01:38:23.010 --> 01:38:25.970
Mr. Baer said
to wish you "bon voyage."

01:38:30.680 --> 01:38:33.270
Don't open it. Put it in a
bag. We'll take it with us.

01:38:33.310 --> 01:38:34.890
Hey, Joey?
Yeah?

01:38:34.980 --> 01:38:37.230
Get the coats.
Jim.

01:38:46.820 --> 01:38:48.570
Well,
if it ain't Cinderella Man.

01:38:49.910 --> 01:38:51.410
Thanks for the champagne,
Mr. Baer.

01:38:51.490 --> 01:38:54.620
You're doing a great job publicizing
the fight. I really appreciate it.

01:38:54.700 --> 01:38:58.000
I hope it's gonna be a very
successful night for both of us.

01:38:58.080 --> 01:39:00.580
You keep telling people you're
gonna kill me in the ring.

01:39:01.920 --> 01:39:03.340
I got three kids at home.

01:39:03.420 --> 01:39:05.630
You're upsetting my family,
particularly my wife.

01:39:05.670 --> 01:39:07.220
Listen, Braddock.

01:39:08.010 --> 01:39:10.720
I'm asking you sincerely
not to take this fight.

01:39:11.350 --> 01:39:14.640
Now, you seem like a decent
fellow. People admire you.

01:39:15.020 --> 01:39:16.350
I really don't
want to hurt you.

01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:19.100
It's no joke, pal.

01:39:20.600 --> 01:39:22.770
People die in fairy tales
all the time.

01:39:22.860 --> 01:39:24.320
Hey, Max, how about a picture?

01:39:24.400 --> 01:39:25.690
Hey, Jim! How about a shot?

01:39:25.730 --> 01:39:27.530
There you go. Take it easy. Just smile.

01:39:27.570 --> 01:39:28.900
One more!

01:39:29.110 --> 01:39:31.660
Yeah. I think the smart thing
would be for you to take a fall.

01:39:32.240 --> 01:39:34.370
Circus act's over, old man.

01:39:37.500 --> 01:39:39.120
Right here, Max.
There you go.

01:39:39.210 --> 01:39:42.040
I think I'll go a few rounds
with the dancing Baer.

01:39:42.290 --> 01:39:43.750
Yeah, there you go.

01:39:44.340 --> 01:39:46.380
Come on, Jim.
Very good. Okay.

01:39:46.460 --> 01:39:47.920
Come on.
Okay.

01:39:48.050 --> 01:39:51.510
Hey, we'll see you in the
ring. How about that, champ?

01:39:51.890 --> 01:39:53.430
Come on. Let's go, Jim.

01:39:53.510 --> 01:39:55.180
Max, my wife, Mae.

01:39:55.720 --> 01:39:57.060
You ought to talk to him, Mae.

01:39:57.890 --> 01:40:00.020
You are far too pretty
to be a widow.

01:40:01.900 --> 01:40:03.900
That's not nice, Max.
Not nice. Come on.

01:40:03.980 --> 01:40:06.730
On second thought, maybe I can
comfort you after he's gone.

01:40:06.820 --> 01:40:09.860
Hey, I said shut your
goddamn mouth, you punk!

01:40:15.660 --> 01:40:18.040
Sorry.
Send me the cleaning bill.

01:40:19.370 --> 01:40:20.830
Get that, boys?

01:40:21.250 --> 01:40:23.540
Now he's got his wife
doing his fighting for him.

01:40:28.090 --> 01:40:30.130
Yeah. Ain't she something?

01:40:35.010 --> 01:40:36.260
All right. Get me a drink.

01:40:47.570 --> 01:40:49.690
All right.
Three-punch combo, okay?

01:40:50.110 --> 01:40:52.280
Pop, pop, bang. Come on.

01:40:54.450 --> 01:40:55.410
Yeah.

01:40:55.490 --> 01:40:57.410
Oh, that's good.
One more time.

01:40:57.450 --> 01:41:00.290
Keep your thumbs tucked in.
Keep your elbows in.

01:41:00.410 --> 01:41:02.290
All right.
That's enough, now.

01:41:02.370 --> 01:41:03.750
There's some sting in that.

01:41:03.790 --> 01:41:05.210
That's enough, please.

01:41:05.290 --> 01:41:07.210
Good. Yeah, that's good. Bang!

01:41:09.710 --> 01:41:11.470
I want a turn, Dad.
All right.

01:41:11.510 --> 01:41:13.800
Hey, where's your defense?
Come on, get your hand up.

01:41:13.840 --> 01:41:14.840
I want a turn.

01:41:17.140 --> 01:41:19.260
Left, right, left.
Pop, pop, bang.

01:41:24.270 --> 01:41:25.940
Come on, Howie.

01:41:27.810 --> 01:41:30.650
All right, that's enough!
No boxing in the house!

01:41:30.900 --> 01:41:32.820
No boxing out of the house.
All right?

01:41:32.860 --> 01:41:34.530
No boxing. Period!

01:41:35.240 --> 01:41:36.740
You're gonna stay in school.

01:41:36.820 --> 01:41:38.030
Then you're gonna go
to college...

01:41:38.120 --> 01:41:39.530
and you're gonna have
professions.

01:41:39.620 --> 01:41:42.830
Because you're not gonna have
your skulls smashed in, too!

01:41:42.950 --> 01:41:45.370
Do you understand me?
Is that clear?

01:41:54.130 --> 01:41:57.430
Hey, why don't you boys go and
get ready for bed, all right?

01:42:20.780 --> 01:42:22.410
I used to pray...

01:42:23.700 --> 01:42:26.120
for you to get hurt
just enough...

01:42:27.460 --> 01:42:29.500
so you couldn't fight anymore.

01:42:30.380 --> 01:42:33.960
And when they took your license
away, even scared as I was...

01:42:34.210 --> 01:42:37.550
I went to the church
and I thanked God for it.

01:42:38.340 --> 01:42:39.970
‘Cause I always knew...

01:42:40.050 --> 01:42:43.520
a day might come
when it could kill you.

01:42:44.100 --> 01:42:46.850
I just knew it, Jimmy.
And now it's here.

01:42:46.890 --> 01:42:48.600
You just got the jitters,
that's all.

01:42:48.690 --> 01:42:51.480
He's killed two men, Jimmy!
What's worth it?

01:42:53.230 --> 01:42:57.070
I have to believe I got some
kind of say over our lives. Okay?

01:42:57.740 --> 01:43:00.280
You know, that if things are
bad, that we can change them...

01:43:00.370 --> 01:43:02.330
we can make things better
for our family.

01:43:02.410 --> 01:43:05.830
But I need you to be safe...

01:43:05.910 --> 01:43:07.370
Nothing's safe anymore, Mae.
...so much.

01:43:07.410 --> 01:43:08.420
And without that...

01:43:08.500 --> 01:43:10.750
I need you to be safe!
...nothing's safe at all.

01:43:10.790 --> 01:43:12.000
All right.

01:43:12.090 --> 01:43:14.920
I have stood by for all of it.

01:43:16.050 --> 01:43:17.380
Until now.

01:43:19.050 --> 01:43:22.140
Not for this, Jimmy.
I just can't.

01:43:23.060 --> 01:43:25.270
So you train all you want.

01:43:25.350 --> 01:43:28.270
Make a show of it
for yourself, for the papers.

01:43:28.770 --> 01:43:31.100
But you find a way
out of that fight.

01:43:31.270 --> 01:43:33.770
Break your hand again
if you have to.

01:43:49.460 --> 01:43:50.460
Is he all right?

01:43:57.590 --> 01:43:59.130
So, how's he doing?

01:43:59.800 --> 01:44:01.970
He's old. He's arthritic.

01:44:02.260 --> 01:44:04.810
And his ribs haven't been
right since the Lasky fight.

01:44:05.510 --> 01:44:07.520
What's the bad news,
sunshine?

01:44:08.430 --> 01:44:09.480
Joe!
What?

01:44:09.560 --> 01:44:11.480
The reporters are here.
Jesus.

01:44:11.560 --> 01:44:13.860
Right. Get rid of that
goddamn rib protector.

01:44:13.940 --> 01:44:16.190
Jimmy!
Press is here, boy-o!

01:44:16.270 --> 01:44:17.860
Get bouncing around
in that ring!

01:44:17.940 --> 01:44:20.780
Showtime! Big smiles!
You're the belle of the ball!

01:44:20.820 --> 01:44:23.490
Baer don't need to know
about no goddamn ribs.

01:45:53.290 --> 01:45:54.580
Bye, Dad.

01:46:15.980 --> 01:46:18.110
Come on, let's go. Let's go.

01:46:33.200 --> 01:46:34.710
Hey, look. It's him.

01:46:35.830 --> 01:46:37.000
There's Braddock!

01:46:41.130 --> 01:46:43.260
Maybe this is your day,
Bulldog!

01:46:43.340 --> 01:46:45.760
Look, it's him!
It's Jimmy, look, right there!

01:46:45.800 --> 01:46:48.470
We're with you, Jimmy! You're
gonna beat him, Bulldog!

01:46:53.970 --> 01:46:56.850
Well, look who's here.
Hi, Aunt Alice.

01:46:56.940 --> 01:46:58.400
Come on in.

01:46:59.560 --> 01:47:01.320
No radio, all right?

01:47:02.320 --> 01:47:05.070
Yeah, sure.
All right. Be back soon.

01:47:27.170 --> 01:47:30.340
Hello, Mae.
I came to pray for Jim.

01:47:32.850 --> 01:47:34.510
So did they.

01:47:35.680 --> 01:47:36.810
Yeah.

01:47:45.980 --> 01:47:48.860
They all think
that Jim's fighting for them.

01:48:48.800 --> 01:48:49.880
Hey.

01:48:52.760 --> 01:48:53.760
Yeah?

01:48:53.890 --> 01:48:56.010
Who beat that
John Henry Lewis?

01:48:59.270 --> 01:49:01.520
That Braddock guy.
Correct.

01:49:02.940 --> 01:49:05.060
Who whupped that
Art Lasky punk?

01:49:05.440 --> 01:49:07.730
James J. Braddock.
Correct again.

01:49:08.360 --> 01:49:09.990
Now, refresh me
on this one.

01:49:10.070 --> 01:49:13.320
Who was it took that Corn Griffin
and turned him inside out...

01:49:13.410 --> 01:49:16.200
with no questions asked?
Who was that?

01:49:17.240 --> 01:49:18.240
I used to think it was me...

01:49:18.290 --> 01:49:19.750
but now I'm kinda thinking
it was you.

01:49:19.790 --> 01:49:22.250
No, don't you
sell yourself short.

01:49:23.080 --> 01:49:26.460
At some stage, you think maybe
you're gonna do some taping here?

01:49:27.540 --> 01:49:29.090
Why not?

01:49:35.010 --> 01:49:37.890
All right, let's see.
How's that?

01:49:39.720 --> 01:49:40.850
What?

01:50:00.370 --> 01:50:01.830
Excuse me, ma’am.

01:50:10.500 --> 01:50:13.050
You can't win
without me behind you.

01:50:16.300 --> 01:50:18.680
That's what I’ve been trying
to tell you.

01:50:28.230 --> 01:50:30.270
Maybe I understand some.

01:50:31.400 --> 01:50:33.280
About having to fight.

01:50:34.860 --> 01:50:37.570
So you just remember
who you are.

01:50:38.700 --> 01:50:41.200
You're the
Bulldog of Bergen...

01:50:41.280 --> 01:50:43.700
and the pride of New Jersey.

01:50:44.500 --> 01:50:46.420
You're everybody's hope.

01:50:47.710 --> 01:50:49.840
And you're your kids’ hero.

01:50:51.290 --> 01:50:55.420
And you are
the champion of my heart...

01:50:55.630 --> 01:50:57.300
James J. Braddock.

01:51:07.350 --> 01:51:09.440
You know,
you better get home.

01:51:10.560 --> 01:51:13.070
You know, boxers hang around
places like this...

01:51:13.150 --> 01:51:16.070
and you don't want to get tangled
up with that kind of crowd.

01:51:16.150 --> 01:51:19.410
Nice girl like you.
Yeah, okay.

01:51:21.160 --> 01:51:22.910
I'll see you at home.

01:51:29.250 --> 01:51:30.710
Please, Jimmy.

01:51:33.000 --> 01:51:34.800
I'll see you at home?

01:51:36.760 --> 01:51:38.340
See you at home, baby.

01:51:58.450 --> 01:52:01.110
<i>From the ringside of the
Madison Square Garden Bowl.</i>

01:52:01.200 --> 01:52:02.660
<i>Tonight, our coast-to-coast
hookup...</i>

01:52:02.740 --> 01:52:05.040
<i>brings you the biggest
pugilistic event of the year.</i>

01:52:05.120 --> 01:52:08.080
<i>Max Baer versus the
Cinderella Man, Jimmy Braddock.</i>

01:52:10.120 --> 01:52:11.330
<i>And in a few moments...</i>

01:52:11.420 --> 01:52:13.590
<i>the contestants for
tonight's championship bout...</i>

01:52:13.630 --> 01:52:15.800
<i>will be making their way
to the ring.</i>

01:52:37.150 --> 01:52:38.650
God Almighty.

01:52:46.950 --> 01:52:48.950
<i>Jim Braddock's rise
from the soup lines...</i>

01:52:49.000 --> 01:52:52.330
<i>to number one heavyweight
contender has truly been miraculous.</i>

01:52:52.420 --> 01:52:56.170
<i>No, never in all my years have
I seen this arena so quiet.</i>

01:53:25.120 --> 01:53:26.870
You can do it, Jimmy!

01:53:34.920 --> 01:53:37.500
<i>James J. Braddock,
the Cinderella Man...</i>

01:53:37.590 --> 01:53:39.800
<i>who just a year ago
was standing in a bread line.</i>

01:53:39.880 --> 01:53:42.010
<i>Braddock's a tremendous
underdog with the bettors...</i>

01:53:42.090 --> 01:53:44.430
<i>but you wouldn't know it from
the reaction of the crowd.</i>

01:53:44.510 --> 01:53:47.680
<i>Madison Square Garden is on its
feet and the noise is deadening!</i>

01:53:47.760 --> 01:53:50.350
<i>An astonishing crowd is
gathered here this evening.</i>

01:53:50.390 --> 01:53:52.930
<i>I saw people lining up to buy
tickets tonight who looked...</i>

01:53:53.020 --> 01:53:54.690
<i>as it they were spending
their last dollar.</i>

01:53:54.770 --> 01:53:57.360
<i>But they're here now
and 35,000 strong!</i>

01:53:57.440 --> 01:53:58.730
<i>Listen to them!</i>

01:54:18.000 --> 01:54:20.250
<i>We understand Max Baer
has left his dressing room.</i>

01:54:20.300 --> 01:54:21.510
<i>There he is.</i>

01:54:21.760 --> 01:54:24.170
<i>Max Baer has the look and
swagger of a Hollywood star.</i>

01:54:24.420 --> 01:54:26.220
<i>Tonight, though,
there'll be no play-acting...</i>

01:54:26.260 --> 01:54:29.470
<i>not with Jim Braddock in the
ring. This fight is for real.</i>

01:54:29.550 --> 01:54:32.560
<i>The table's been set.
Le's get to the main course.</i>

01:54:36.730 --> 01:54:38.230
Gentlemen,
I gave you the rules

01:54:38.270 --> 01:54:39.270
in the dressing room.

01:54:39.310 --> 01:54:40.770
One minute to midnight,
Cinderella.

01:54:40.860 --> 01:54:42.360
Yeah? Your clock's
about ticked out, asshole.

01:54:42.440 --> 01:54:44.110
I'm here to enforce them.
I want clean breaks.

01:54:44.190 --> 01:54:45.780
Tell laughing boy here,
no backhanding.

01:54:45.860 --> 01:54:47.910
I don't want any backhanding
and hitting on the breakaway.

01:54:47.950 --> 01:54:49.740
No low blows!
I'll take care of this, Joe.

01:54:49.780 --> 01:54:52.290
You understand? You tell this
bohunk no grabbing, no manhandling.

01:54:52.330 --> 01:54:54.290
Watch your goddamn language,
you nasty little shit.

01:54:54.330 --> 01:54:55.710
Look at this! No low
blows means no low blows.

01:54:55.790 --> 01:54:57.420
You gonna let this little
prick talk to me like that?

01:54:57.500 --> 01:54:59.630
No hitting on the breaks.
It talks!

01:54:59.710 --> 01:55:01.750
Holy mackerel, it talks!
Look at that!

01:55:01.800 --> 01:55:03.920
Keep your hands up at all
times to protect yourselves.

01:55:03.960 --> 01:55:06.050
Now, touch gloves
and come out fighting.

01:55:06.130 --> 01:55:08.050
Good luck. Go to your corners.

01:55:08.140 --> 01:55:10.800
I'm gonna kick his Mick balls
up to the roof of his mouth.

01:55:10.890 --> 01:55:13.350
That ought to be
a familiar taste for him, huh?

01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:17.100
Come on, Jimmy boy!

01:55:19.230 --> 01:55:22.520
Yeah, boys, get some
pictures here! Come on!

01:55:31.490 --> 01:55:34.330
You can do this.
This guy is made for you.

01:55:35.000 --> 01:55:37.000
Have a picnic, all right?

01:55:41.500 --> 01:55:44.090
<i>There's the bell!
And the fight is on!</i>

01:55:51.600 --> 01:55:52.760
<i>The boys come out...</i>

01:55:52.850 --> 01:55:55.850
<i>and immediately Braddock
shoots a left to Maxie's jaw!</i>

01:55:57.730 --> 01:56:00.650
That's it!
Take it right to him, Jimmy!

01:56:02.440 --> 01:56:03.570
Now, now.

01:56:03.980 --> 01:56:06.780
<i>Baer snaps Braddock's head
back with two right uppercuts.</i>

01:56:07.190 --> 01:56:10.240
<i>It's always a question of which Max
will show up in the first round...</i>

01:56:10.320 --> 01:56:11.990
<i>the killer or the clown?</i>

01:56:19.620 --> 01:56:21.080
<i>Maxie doing well.</i>

01:56:21.170 --> 01:56:23.920
<i>It looks like he's enjoying
himself, mugging for the crowd.</i>

01:56:24.000 --> 01:56:25.550
Take it into him!

01:56:26.460 --> 01:56:29.090
<i>A big flurry by Braddock!
A vicious right to the head!</i>

01:56:38.060 --> 01:56:41.730
Take it easy, pal. I'll let
it go a couple of rounds.

01:56:41.810 --> 01:56:44.730
<i>Madcap Maxie is heavily favored to
put the long snore on Braddock...</i>

01:56:44.770 --> 01:56:45.820
<i>in the first round.</i>

01:56:45.900 --> 01:56:47.650
<i>That big right hand of his
has dynamite in it...</i>

01:56:47.730 --> 01:56:49.700
<i>especially when he traps
his man on the ropes.</i>

01:56:49.780 --> 01:56:52.320
He's gonna carry him
for a couple of rounds.

01:56:56.240 --> 01:56:57.660
Braddock! Break it up!

01:56:57.740 --> 01:56:59.450
Break it up, I said!

01:57:00.910 --> 01:57:02.540
Go on, Jimmy!

01:57:03.580 --> 01:57:06.210
<i>Jim survived the round and
looked pretty good doing it.</i>

01:57:06.290 --> 01:57:08.760
<i>Braddock will not be bullied.
Not tonight.</i>

01:57:08.800 --> 01:57:10.720
When he does this horseshit,
knock it off.

01:57:10.760 --> 01:57:12.260
He's trying to thumb you.
All right?

01:57:12.300 --> 01:57:15.260
And then slip inside of there
and shorten up the punches.

01:57:15.350 --> 01:57:17.810
All right? Shorten them up.
That's your turf!

01:57:17.890 --> 01:57:19.680
Inside is yours!

01:57:20.020 --> 01:57:21.100
Good job, Braddock!

01:57:21.350 --> 01:57:22.350
Come on, Braddock!

01:57:22.690 --> 01:57:25.400
<i>Well, no one expected Braddock
to go past the first round.</i>

01:57:25.440 --> 01:57:27.070
Shorten them up.
Stay inside of him.

01:57:27.110 --> 01:57:29.070
<i>The experts at ringside
were wrong again.</i>

01:57:29.110 --> 01:57:30.940
<i>Shorten them up!
There's the bell!</i>

01:57:31.030 --> 01:57:33.240
<i>And here we are
in the second round.</i>

01:57:33.490 --> 01:57:35.070
That had some salt on it!

01:57:35.160 --> 01:57:37.910
<i>Braddock lands a hard right
to the head.</i>

01:57:38.120 --> 01:57:40.580
<i>Max swats him away
with cool contempt!</i>

01:57:41.040 --> 01:57:42.910
<i>He appears to be
toying with Braddock.</i>

01:57:42.960 --> 01:57:44.620
<i>There's no other word for it.</i>

01:57:44.710 --> 01:57:48.170
<i>Max struts around the ring
without a care in the world.</i>

01:57:51.760 --> 01:57:54.550
Sharp, efficient, tough,
and short! Good.

01:57:59.260 --> 01:58:00.850
Knock that on out.

01:58:01.810 --> 01:58:04.270
<i>And Max responds with
swinging rights and lefts.</i>

01:58:04.310 --> 01:58:06.310
<i>All power punches from Maxie.</i>

01:58:13.610 --> 01:58:14.610
Break him!

01:58:14.700 --> 01:58:17.870
<i>And Braddock punches
right to the head!</i>

01:58:23.000 --> 01:58:24.210
Cover up!

01:58:26.170 --> 01:58:27.790
Is that the right spot, Jimmy?

01:58:27.830 --> 01:58:29.540
All right.
Break it up!

01:58:29.630 --> 01:58:31.510
Break it up, you two!
Stay clean!

01:58:40.680 --> 01:58:44.020
How are those ribs?
Okay. All right. Take it easy.

01:58:44.060 --> 01:58:46.520
Good pace. Good pace, Jim.
Take it easy. Just breathe.

01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:49.610
Deep breaths. Relax.
Good rhythm.

01:58:49.690 --> 01:58:51.360
You're looking great
out there, Jimmy.

01:58:51.440 --> 01:58:52.900
Yeah.
You look great.

01:58:52.990 --> 01:58:56.610
Hey, Jim?
If he goes for your body...

01:58:56.700 --> 01:58:58.910
drop the elbows on him.
Teach him a lesson.

01:58:58.990 --> 01:59:00.450
Break his goddamn hand.

01:59:00.530 --> 01:59:02.040
<i>That round was tough to score.</i>

01:59:02.120 --> 01:59:04.290
<i>Braddock landed several
surprising right hands.</i>

01:59:04.370 --> 01:59:06.370
<i>And those thunderous
body punches by the champ...</i>

01:59:06.460 --> 01:59:09.170
<i>should pay dividends
in the later rounds.</i>

01:59:10.630 --> 01:59:13.130
<i>In the fifth,
Baer's smile is gone.</i>

01:59:15.050 --> 01:59:16.090
Yeah, that's it!

01:59:16.170 --> 01:59:17.680
<i>Jimmy comes in
with a hard right...</i>

01:59:17.760 --> 01:59:20.140
<i>then neatly slides off
to Baer's left.</i>

01:59:20.640 --> 01:59:23.720
<i>Avoiding the counterpunch,
Jimmy sticks a jab.</i>

01:59:26.480 --> 01:59:29.860
<i>And now the crowd is jeering
and even laughing at the champ.</i>

01:59:29.900 --> 01:59:31.770
<i>And Maxie's none too pleased.</i>

01:59:32.070 --> 01:59:33.280
All right, break it.

01:59:33.360 --> 01:59:35.030
Break!

01:59:35.610 --> 01:59:37.860
<i>Baer backhands Braddock
across the face!</i>

01:59:37.900 --> 01:59:38.950
<i>That'll cost Maxie.</i>

01:59:39.030 --> 01:59:40.700
You lousy shegetz!

01:59:40.740 --> 01:59:42.030
That's a warning, Max.

01:59:43.910 --> 01:59:45.250
I'm sorry.

01:59:47.330 --> 01:59:48.960
How's that wife of yours?

01:59:49.040 --> 01:59:50.210
Break!

01:59:54.420 --> 01:59:56.670
She talk about me?
Knock off the wrestling.

01:59:56.760 --> 01:59:57.840
All right. Break it up!

01:59:57.920 --> 01:59:58.970
Quit fooling around, Max!

02:00:02.430 --> 02:00:03.760
Low blow!

02:00:03.850 --> 02:00:05.060
What was that?

02:00:05.100 --> 02:00:07.890
Keep them up. Wake up,
you wet son of a bitch!

02:00:13.110 --> 02:00:16.230
<i>Max salutes the crowd.
He's one of a kind, folks.</i>

02:00:16.570 --> 02:00:18.530
She say my name in her sleep?

02:00:20.110 --> 02:00:22.780
<i>Baer took a chin-full of
Braddock's head in that clinch.</i>

02:00:22.870 --> 02:00:24.790
That's it! Work his body!

02:00:28.910 --> 02:00:30.000
She miss me?

02:00:30.080 --> 02:00:32.210
<i>Baer grips Braddock's head
in a headlock.</i>

02:00:32.290 --> 02:00:35.550
Jesus! Hey, Maxila you
gonna punch him or pork him?

02:00:35.630 --> 02:00:37.090
That's your job, asshole.

02:00:37.170 --> 02:00:38.420
<i>Jimmy fights his way tree.</i>

02:00:38.510 --> 02:00:40.090
<i>Hey, buddy...
Gets a shot in to the head.</i>

02:00:40.180 --> 02:00:41.220
You kidding me?
Fantastic!

02:00:42.840 --> 02:00:44.220
You're gonna get hurt.

02:00:44.970 --> 02:00:48.680
<i>Braddock keeps punching. They
hammer each other, toe to toe.</i>

02:00:49.310 --> 02:00:51.270
<i>Okay, break!
There's the bell!</i>

02:00:53.270 --> 02:00:55.270
Keep your hands up
and your mouth shut, Maxie.

02:00:55.320 --> 02:00:57.860
You watching the fight or
the cute guy in the front row?

02:00:57.940 --> 02:01:00.740
Take a seat, Maxie!
He's nothing, nobody.

02:01:00.820 --> 02:01:02.200
The guy has got nothing!

02:01:02.280 --> 02:01:03.870
Jesus! Sit down!

02:01:06.160 --> 02:01:07.660
Give me the sponge.

02:01:08.000 --> 02:01:09.830
What are you doing?
Don't worry about it.

02:01:09.870 --> 02:01:13.500
Well, quit screwing around.
Hey! Relax.

02:01:14.040 --> 02:01:15.960
Give me the goddamn water.

02:01:21.800 --> 02:01:23.470
Ten seconds!

02:01:33.980 --> 02:01:36.360
Hit this guy. Cut him!

02:01:37.070 --> 02:01:39.530
You cut him down to size.
Cut him!

02:01:41.650 --> 02:01:42.900
Oh, shit.

02:01:43.490 --> 02:01:45.660
<i>In the seventh,
the boys come out again.</i>

02:01:45.700 --> 02:01:47.870
<i>And Max is all business now.</i>

02:01:50.040 --> 02:01:51.500
Put him away, Max!
Get him!

02:01:51.580 --> 02:01:54.040
Attaboy, Maxie! Attaboy!

02:01:54.120 --> 02:01:55.830
Slide it, Jimmy!

02:01:57.420 --> 02:01:59.340
<i>Braddock starting
to look his age here...</i>

02:01:59.380 --> 02:02:01.550
<i>as Baer pushes him
around the ring.</i>

02:02:02.050 --> 02:02:03.590
<i>Baer swings hard to the body.</i>

02:02:03.680 --> 02:02:05.840
<i>Braddock gets in a right
to the head.</i>

02:02:06.220 --> 02:02:07.850
Murder him, Maxie!

02:02:17.400 --> 02:02:19.110
Jesus Christ.

02:02:19.230 --> 02:02:21.360
<i>Baer with a tremendous shot
right there!</i>

02:02:21.400 --> 02:02:23.740
<i>That was the hardest blow
in the fight!</i>

02:02:28.780 --> 02:02:29.830
Oh, Christ.

02:02:29.910 --> 02:02:31.240
<i>Baer turns him again...</i>

02:02:31.290 --> 02:02:34.080
<i>with another right to the head.
Another right. And another.</i>

02:02:41.630 --> 02:02:43.340
Push him, push him!

02:02:54.480 --> 02:02:56.690
<i>Braddock gets in
a vicious uppercut.</i>

02:02:58.520 --> 02:02:59.940
<i>Baer keeps on punching!</i>

02:02:59.980 --> 02:03:01.360
Jesus, Johnny!

02:03:01.440 --> 02:03:04.110
Let him go! That's enough!
Break it up!

02:03:04.610 --> 02:03:06.450
You're gonna go home
in butcher paper, pal!

02:03:06.530 --> 02:03:08.740
To your corners!
Butcher paper!

02:03:12.740 --> 02:03:14.960
All right.
Let me see that nose.

02:03:15.460 --> 02:03:16.830
Get it out.
You're okay.

02:03:16.920 --> 02:03:18.080
Let me see it.
Tilt your head back.

02:03:18.170 --> 02:03:19.880
That's nothing.
That's a piece of cake.

02:03:19.960 --> 02:03:21.920
Keep your head up.
Breathe through your mouth.

02:03:21.960 --> 02:03:23.340
Breathe.

02:03:23.420 --> 02:03:25.920
You got all your ugly friends
down from Jersey here.

02:03:25.970 --> 02:03:28.010
They're dressed up nice.
They’ve come to see you.

02:03:28.090 --> 02:03:31.470
You're putting them to sleep.
You're not turning him anymore.

02:03:31.510 --> 02:03:34.310
Come on, pick it up.
Spit that out, boy-o.

02:03:35.430 --> 02:03:38.310
Good boy.

02:03:39.230 --> 02:03:40.560
Come on.

02:03:43.150 --> 02:03:45.530
<i>The boys go after each other
immediately.</i>

02:03:46.110 --> 02:03:47.990
<i>Braddock gets in a left to
the body. And a hard right...</i>

02:03:48.070 --> 02:03:49.780
<i>Mae.
... to Max's head.</i>

02:03:49.820 --> 02:03:51.580
<i>Baer comes swinging across
with a long, swinging...</i>

02:03:51.660 --> 02:03:53.620
<i>It's the cops.
... right to Braddock's head.</i>

02:03:54.330 --> 02:03:55.910
<i>Braddock stumbles away.</i>

02:03:56.000 --> 02:03:57.830
<i>Baer tries that right again!</i>

02:03:58.580 --> 02:04:01.500
<i>They come together. Braddock
swings a left and a right.</i>

02:04:01.540 --> 02:04:02.630
Please, Ma.

02:04:02.710 --> 02:04:04.760
<i>Max comes back with a left
and a right of his own.</i>

02:04:04.840 --> 02:04:07.260
<i>Braddock sticks out a left!
Baer still after him.</i>

02:04:07.340 --> 02:04:08.380
<i>Another left!</i>

02:04:08.470 --> 02:04:11.600
<i>And a hard right by Braddock
that rocked Baer for a moment!</i>

02:04:11.680 --> 02:04:13.510
<i>Baer tries that right again.</i>

02:04:17.140 --> 02:04:18.520
<i>A hard right
to Braddock's head!</i>

02:04:18.560 --> 02:04:21.310
<i>Braddock is hurt.
His legs are gone.</i>

02:04:29.360 --> 02:04:31.740
<i>Braddock sticks out a left!
Another left!</i>

02:04:36.700 --> 02:04:39.330
<i>Neither man will back down!
It's a slugtest, folks!</i>

02:04:39.410 --> 02:04:41.170
<i>And there's the bell!</i>

02:04:42.380 --> 02:04:45.000
<i>James J. Braddock has
exhibited a lot of heart here...</i>

02:04:45.050 --> 02:04:47.670
<i>over 11 grueling rounds
with the champion.</i>

02:04:47.760 --> 02:04:51.090
<i>Nobody expected him to last more
than a few innings with Baer.</i>

02:04:51.180 --> 02:04:54.050
<i>Yet here he is.
And he's held his own.</i>

02:04:54.640 --> 02:04:57.560
<i>But now we head into the
championship rounds, folks.</i>

02:05:00.390 --> 02:05:03.270
Hey, Jim, look at me.

02:05:05.230 --> 02:05:08.400
I swear to God, boy,
win, lose or draw...

02:05:09.030 --> 02:05:11.410
Thanks, Joey.
For all of it.

02:05:13.240 --> 02:05:16.120
You son of a bitch.
All right. Stop talking.

02:05:16.200 --> 02:05:17.540
Get in there!

02:05:18.450 --> 02:05:20.000
And bury him!

02:05:20.080 --> 02:05:21.540
Finish him off.

02:05:21.710 --> 02:05:23.130
Come on, Jimmy!

02:05:29.260 --> 02:05:31.300
<i>Here in the 12th,
James J. Braddock...</i>

02:05:31.380 --> 02:05:34.140
<i>is showing this crowd
what heart is all about.</i>

02:05:41.600 --> 02:05:43.480
<i>Jimmy seems to be
timing that left...</i>

02:05:43.560 --> 02:05:45.810
<i>and has slapped it away
several times.</i>

02:05:49.940 --> 02:05:53.030
Keep moving, boy-o!
You stay with him!

02:05:53.610 --> 02:05:54.950
Son of a bitch!

02:05:55.570 --> 02:05:58.540
<i>Braddock with a shoeshine.
Left, right!</i>

02:05:58.870 --> 02:06:01.000
Am I seeing what I'm seeing?

02:06:01.290 --> 02:06:03.210
Finish him, Jimmy. Finish him!

02:06:03.290 --> 02:06:05.250
Braddock, Braddock!

02:06:14.470 --> 02:06:17.300
<i>Maxie's glamour-boy smile
is now a bloody grimace.</i>

02:06:18.680 --> 02:06:21.560
<i>This crowd is desperately
hoping for a Braddock victory.</i>

02:06:21.640 --> 02:06:24.770
<i>But Mr. Baer might have
something to say about that.</i>

02:06:28.150 --> 02:06:29.480
Holy crap!

02:06:35.780 --> 02:06:36.990
Low blow!

02:06:37.070 --> 02:06:39.280
That last low blow
will cost you the round, Max.

02:06:39.330 --> 02:06:41.120
Jesus!
It'll cost you the round.

02:06:42.910 --> 02:06:44.960
Why don't you just kick him
in the balls, huh?

02:06:45.040 --> 02:06:46.040
Joe, back in your corner!

02:06:46.120 --> 02:06:48.250
What are you afraid of,
you son of a bitch?

02:06:48.340 --> 02:06:49.670
Get back to your corner!

02:06:52.380 --> 02:06:53.880
Come on, Ref!

02:06:55.340 --> 02:06:58.640
<i>McAvoy is on the verge of
losing control of this fight.</i>

02:07:03.020 --> 02:07:05.100
Knock him on the ground,
Bulldog!

02:07:07.560 --> 02:07:09.520
Last round.
That's right! Next champ!

02:07:09.610 --> 02:07:11.480
You better worry about Baer's
corner in this next round.

02:07:11.530 --> 02:07:12.730
You know what I mean.

02:07:12.820 --> 02:07:15.490
You won this one.
It's a cinch. It is yours.

02:07:16.780 --> 02:07:19.740
But I want you to play it
cagey now. All right?

02:07:20.030 --> 02:07:21.830
I know you don't like
laying back...

02:07:21.870 --> 02:07:24.000
but I want you to stay away
from his right...

02:07:24.080 --> 02:07:26.160
do you understand me?
Stay away.

02:07:26.540 --> 02:07:27.870
Right hand.

02:07:28.080 --> 02:07:31.290
You're behind.
Are you listening to me?

02:07:31.380 --> 02:07:34.550
You want to lose the championship
to this goddamn nobody?

02:07:34.840 --> 02:07:36.220
Hey.
Come on, Jimmy!

02:07:36.260 --> 02:07:37.590
This is your night.

02:07:40.050 --> 02:07:42.010
Stay away.
Put him down!

02:07:44.020 --> 02:07:46.310
Use your right hand.
Right hand.

02:07:51.860 --> 02:07:54.820
Ten seconds!
Come on now. Finish him.

02:07:58.740 --> 02:08:01.700
It's the last round, Jimmy.
There ain't no more.

02:08:02.370 --> 02:08:06.160
You play this bastard smart
and they can't take it from you!

02:08:15.550 --> 02:08:17.380
<i>One more round to go, folks.</i>

02:08:17.510 --> 02:08:19.220
<i>McAvoy stands
at center ring...</i>

02:08:19.260 --> 02:08:21.470
<i>waiting for the fighters
to join him.</i>

02:08:42.910 --> 02:08:44.330
Touch gloves.

02:08:46.620 --> 02:08:48.620
<i>The boys touch gloves
at center ring.</i>

02:08:49.620 --> 02:08:50.920
<i>And now they're right
back at it.</i>

02:08:50.960 --> 02:08:52.250
Oh, no, Jimmy!

02:08:54.750 --> 02:08:56.130
Leave him alone!

02:08:57.710 --> 02:08:59.420
Stay away from him!

02:08:59.880 --> 02:09:01.390
That ain't laying back!

02:09:01.470 --> 02:09:03.350
<i>Braddock's corner
is yelling at Braddock...</i>

02:09:03.430 --> 02:09:04.680
<i>to stay away from Baer.</i>

02:09:04.760 --> 02:09:06.560
<i>Because Baer is looking
for the knockout.</i>

02:09:06.640 --> 02:09:08.520
Stay off him, Jim. Come on!

02:09:11.310 --> 02:09:13.150
Right hand, Max. Yes!

02:09:20.990 --> 02:09:22.450
What is he, stupid?

02:09:25.660 --> 02:09:27.580
Step away!

02:09:27.740 --> 02:09:30.290
<i>Braddock trying to survive
this brutal onslaught!</i>

02:09:30.370 --> 02:09:32.080
Stay off him!

02:09:33.000 --> 02:09:34.920
Don't let him touch you!

02:09:35.000 --> 02:09:37.000
Hey, looking good, Maxie!

02:09:41.590 --> 02:09:44.340
Watch the uppercut! Just
stay the hell away from him!

02:09:44.430 --> 02:09:47.060
<i>Baer cutting loose
with thunderous shots.</i>

02:09:47.140 --> 02:09:48.350
<i>A left to the body.</i>

02:09:48.430 --> 02:09:49.980
<i>Baer again with a right!</i>

02:09:50.060 --> 02:09:53.190
<i>Braddock covering up,
trying to hang on.</i>

02:09:53.690 --> 02:09:55.020
<i>Baer looking for the knockout.</i>

02:09:55.110 --> 02:09:57.820
<i>He doesn't want this one
to go to the cards, folks.</i>

02:09:57.860 --> 02:10:00.150
<i>They pound each other
with lefts and rights.</i>

02:10:00.190 --> 02:10:02.320
<i>Braddock blocking
with his gloves and elbows.</i>

02:10:02.360 --> 02:10:04.990
<i>Snaps a big right
to Maxie's jaw!</i>

02:10:14.290 --> 02:10:16.710
<i>Baer smashes him
with a big right!</i>

02:10:24.930 --> 02:10:27.180
<i>Braddock is back on the ropes.</i>

02:11:13.600 --> 02:11:15.940
<i>Braddock lands
a crushing right.</i>

02:11:16.730 --> 02:11:19.020
<i>Maxie desperately wants

Stay with him!

02:11:52.180 --> 02:11:53.640
<i>But Jimmy is still standing...</i>

02:11:53.680 --> 02:11:56.440
<i>and he's not only standing,
he's moving forward.</i>

02:12:08.820 --> 02:12:12.120
<i>This is the finish.
Both boys are tired.</i>

02:12:12.330 --> 02:12:15.790
<i>This is not boxing, folks.
This is a walloping ballet.</i>

02:12:20.500 --> 02:12:21.790
Ten seconds!

02:12:21.840 --> 02:12:23.840
Time's up!
Son of a bitch.

02:12:37.680 --> 02:12:40.810
<i>That is the bell! It's over!
This fight is over!</i>

02:12:42.940 --> 02:12:44.480
Son of a bitch!

02:12:52.200 --> 02:12:54.870
<i>What a fight! Unbelievable!</i>

02:12:59.040 --> 02:13:00.170
<i>Braddock came
into this fight...</i>

02:13:00.210 --> 02:13:02.000
<i>the biggest underdog...
Come on, sweetheart.</i>

02:13:02.040 --> 02:13:03.460
<i>... in pugilistic history.
You did it!</i>

02:13:03.540 --> 02:13:05.880
<i>For 15 rounds he gave
it everything he had...</i>

<i>against the younger,
stronger champion.</i>

02:13:19.600 --> 02:13:21.650
<i>We are waiting
for the decision.</i>

02:13:22.850 --> 02:13:24.360
Mae, it's all right.

02:13:29.860 --> 02:13:31.320
Hey, McAvoy!

02:13:33.070 --> 02:13:35.030
What?
Help me out here. Help me out.

02:13:35.080 --> 02:13:37.910
How did you score the fight?
Nine-five, one even.

02:13:38.500 --> 02:13:39.450
Which way?

02:13:39.540 --> 02:13:41.330
You'll have to read it
in the papers, Sporty.

02:13:41.420 --> 02:13:42.580
Oh, come on!

02:13:45.590 --> 02:13:47.420
What the hell is this crap?

02:13:50.720 --> 02:13:53.260
I'll tell you this much, they take
this long to make a decision...

02:13:53.340 --> 02:13:55.680
they're gonna decide
to screw somebody.

02:13:56.600 --> 02:13:58.020
Make a decision.

02:13:58.140 --> 02:14:00.180
They're gonna rob
this poor bastard.

02:14:00.270 --> 02:14:02.390
Unbelievable bullshit.
You win it.

02:14:08.940 --> 02:14:12.740
Come on, make a decision!
Tell us who won, come on!

02:14:15.320 --> 02:14:18.040
<i>The crowd, on its feet
for almost the entire fight...</i>

02:14:18.120 --> 02:14:21.080
<i>is still standing, yelling
for who they clearly believe...</i>

02:14:21.160 --> 02:14:23.370
<i>to be the winner of
this fight.</i>

02:14:24.960 --> 02:14:28.170
<i>But they'll have to wait and
see how the judges scored it.</i>

02:14:45.810 --> 02:14:47.940
<i>Ladies and gentlemen...</i>

02:14:48.690 --> 02:14:50.730
<i>we have your decision.</i>

02:14:52.440 --> 02:14:54.200
<i>It's unanimous!</i>
