00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,400
What's all this about?
See? It's a salami.

179
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,600
Young lady, your brother's
in enough trouble...

180
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,160
without you telling on him.
You understand?

181
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,800
It's from the butcher's.

182
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,440
And he won't say a word
about it, will you, Jay?

183
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,760
Will you, Jay?

184
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,400
Okay, pick it up. Let's go.

185
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,320
Do not test me, boy.
Right now.

186
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,960
Howard, stay here.

187
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,240
(man) Okay, let's go! Come
on, give me a hand here!

188
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,560
Great,
then you don't get paid!

189
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,600
Bye.

190
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,440
Don't forget to
pick it up easy!

191
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,800
Marty Johnson had to go away to
Delaware to live with his uncle.

192
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,200
Why?

193
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,560
His parents didn't have
enough money for them to eat.

194
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,880
Yeah, well, things ain't easy
at the moment, Jay, you're right.

195
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,880
But there's a lot of people
worse off than what we are.

196
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,760
And just 'cause
things ain't easy...

197
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,800
that don't give you the excuse
to take what's not yours, does it?

198
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,800
That's stealing, right?
And we don't steal.

199
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,440
No matter what happens,
we don't steal.

200
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,840
Not ever. You got me?

201
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Are you giving me your word?
Yes.

202
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Go on.
I promise.

203
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,120
And I promise you...

204
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,320
we will never send you away.

205
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,360
[Crying]

206
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,600
It's okay, kid.

207
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,840
You got a little scared.
I understand.

208
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,880
It's okay.

209
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,880
[People screaming]

210
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,920
[Grunting]

211
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,960
[Men chattering]

212
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,000
(Joe)
Jim, he's a very slow guy.

213
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,800
Just plants himself there.

214
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,480
So you just keep him steady.

215
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,840
Keep him trapped in the middle.
Keep dancing around him, okay?

216
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,720
You know what to do.
You know this type.

217
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,400
That guy's a bum.

218
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,160
[Sighing]

219
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,520
Two bits will
get a guy a seat.

220
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,480
And that guy gets to watch
you bleed and call you a bum.

221
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,440
And I know I gotta take it from
him, 'cause he's a paying customer.

222
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,880
I see.

223
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,320
Well, well, well.

224
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,360
Pardon me, miss. Allow
me to restate my position.

225
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,680
Mr. Abraham Feldman
is a novice fighter...

226
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,440
whose ass you should
gently kick...

227
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,320
until it is humped up
between his shoulder blades.

228
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,800
That is, if it doesn't offend
your overly sensitive nature.

229
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,520
God knows.

230
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:32,800
[Moans]

231
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,840
Now, you see, that break's
still a few weeks away.

232
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,240
I know.
Yeah.

233
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,200
And you were gonna tell me
about this when?

234
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,400
It's gonna be fine. It's
not fine. No, it's not.

235
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:52,320
What the hell?
You don't tell me?

236
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,680
What the hell kinda crap is
that? I owe everybody money, Joe.

237
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,000
I can't get any shifts.

238
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,920
We ain't got any cash.

239
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,880
I got it.

240
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,160
Screw them.
I'll tape it double.

241
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,800
Thanks.

242
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,720
Keep up. Stay up.

243
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:22,600
Keep moving.
Keep your legs moving.

244
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,720
(announcer)
And here comes Braddock

245
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,880
with his long-time manager,
Joe Gould. 

246
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,760
(man)
You're washed up, Braddock.

247
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:31,720
(announcer)
And now for our main event. 

248
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,880
(Joe)
Hey, which one's us, pal?

249
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,120
Jersey veteran
James J. Braddock... 

250
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,680
is up against Hymie Caplin's
latest charge... 

251
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,120
young Abe Feldman
from Schenectady, New York. 

252
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,200
(Joe)
Six rounder.

253
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,360
(announcer) Some might recall
that Braddock was once... 

254
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,880
a light heavyweight
title challenger. 

255
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,120
His golden-boy peak ended
when Tommy Loughran... 

256
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,960
handled Jim over 15 rounds
back in '29.

257
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,160
Since then,
the oft-injured Braddock... 

258
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,800
has shown only a glimmer
of his early promise. 

259
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,800
And the losses have started
to pile up. 

260
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,240
But Braddock continues
to battle. 

261
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,960
And here comes
the popular Abe Feldman. 

262
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,840
Feldman looks to be
the real thing... 

263
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,000
and showed some real moxie in his recent win
over Hans Birkie. 

264
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,400
[People screaming]

265
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,520
Hey, who whipped Latzo?

266
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,960
I did.
Goddamn right.

267
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,800
Who KO'ed Slattery
in the ninth...

268
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,400
when everybody said he didn't
have a rainmaker's chance in hell?

269
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,360
That'd have to be me, too.
Right.

270
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,240
And we're supposed to pucker our
assholes over this Abe Feldman?

271
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,240
The guy couldn't break wind.
No.

272
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,120
Hey, Jimmy.

273
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,800
Anyplace else you'd rather be?

274
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,480
No.
Good.

275
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,720
Now, what are you
gonna do about it?

276
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,320
(announcer) Here we are halfway
through the fifth

277
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:47,800
[men screaming]
And it's more of the same. 

278
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,800
The boys clinch again. 

279
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,880
Break it up.

280
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,760
(Joe) He's crushing my guy. Get him off!

281
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,000
[Crowd booing]
Break!

282
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,320
(announcer) The boo-birds
have started flying here. 

283
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,560
They want action
from these fighters. 

284
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,760
Feldman sticks a left
in Braddock's face. 

285
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,440
Braddock's right hand
is his best and only weapon. 

286
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,280
He'll show the left, but it lacks snap
and Feldman knows it. 

287
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,920
Come on, give these yokels
a shot in the ass!

288
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,000
Feldman ducks a haymaker
but fails to follow up. 

289
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,840
[Booing]

290
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,480
[Men chattering]

291
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,560
(announcer) And another big right
by Braddock. 

292
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,560
Now, there's the Braddock
we all recall. 

293
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,280
But it's one at a time.
It may not be enough. 

294
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,640
Come on!

295
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,560
[Men screaming]

296
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:57,400
[Bell ringing]

297
00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:59,160
(announcer) The referee pulls
the boys apart. 

298
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
And there's the bell
to end the fifth. 

299
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,280
(Joe)
Easy now. Easy.

300
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,680
I saw that.
You bust it again?

301
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,800
I'm calling it, Jim.

302
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,280
You gonna use the left?
Okay, good.

303
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:19,520
You get in there but you
don't let him crowd you.

304
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,840
You work his belly, you
hammer his belly with the left.

305
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,280
Last round. Come on,
you got to show me something.

306
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,440
Give me a good one. You're
giving me an ulcer, Harry!

307
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,560
Shut up.

308
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,800
Work his belly with the left.
You got it?

309
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,880
Give him the flapdoodle with
the right because he don't know.

310
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,920
Right?
'Cause he's kind of stupid.

311
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,760
Okay? Last round.

312
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,600
Last round! Go get him!

313
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,000
(Joe)
The left!

314
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,800
[Crowd screaming]

315
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,600
Damn it, I wish he could find
his goddamn left.

316
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,600
(Joe)
That's it! Change it up!

317
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,680
Southpaw, that's it!

318
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,320
(announcer) Feldman prancing around,
looking for an opening... 

319
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,800
but still few clean punches
by the fighters. 

320
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:58,520
Braddock still pawing away
with the left. 

321
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,400
Another ineffectual left
from Feldman. 

322
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,280
Braddock can hardly lift his arms.
He's slow on his feet. 

323
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:08,120
At least Gould in his corner
is still throwing punches... 

324
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,400
trying to urge his man on. 

325
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,240
[Crowd screaming]

326
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,000
[Yelling]
Go home!

327
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,800
[Crowd booing]

328
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,720
(man)
Go home, Braddock!

329
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,560
No holding, Braddock!

330
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,200
(announcer) Cavanaugh's working harder
than the fighters. 

331
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,480
Dry up!

332
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:33,240
(announcer)
Another clinch. 

333
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,240
It's as if 80 tough fights have finally jumped
on Braddock's back. 

334
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,920
You're a bum!

335
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,280
That's it!

336
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,360
Cavanaugh pulls them apart,
and he's called the fight. 

337
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,800
He's called the fight. 

338
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,280
It's a "no contest. "

339
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:57,400
And the popcorn and the peanuts
are raining down. 

340
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:00,600
And I'm afraid to say that's all these
fighters deserve... 

341
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,760
for the show
they put on tonight. 

342
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,560
[Crowd booing]

343
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,360
I'm telling you, it's sad to see
a fighter that was once... 

344
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,800
the caliber of James Braddock
reduced to this. 

345
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,720
It's all right, Jimmy.

346
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,680
An embarrassment,
that's what it was.

347
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,400
An embarrassment!

348
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:19,520
Where the hell's the purse?

349
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,200
You wouldn't have
to be asking that...

350
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,240
if you gave a shit
about your fighter.

351
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,640
Okay. He's fighting hurt.

352
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:29,800
Maybe you got a bunch of fat
and happy fighters at home...

353
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,840
can afford to rest a month between
bouts. I don't know. Lucky you!

354
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,400
Christ, he hardly gets
a punch in anymore!

355
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,840
Fights being stopped by
referees? He's pathetic!

356
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,800
(Johnston) Fights like
that keep people away.

357
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,840
We're revoking his license,
Joe.

358
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,640
Whatever Braddock was gonna do
in boxing, I guess he's done it.

359
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,800
Wait a minute.
That's all.

360
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,760
[Whispering]
Oh, boy.

361
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,680
Mr. Johnston!

362
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,960
(Johnston)
Jim.

363
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,480
What's going on?

364
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,840
You didn't tell him?
Yeah, of course I told him.

365
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,560
He wanted to
hear it from you.

366
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,720
Come on, Mr. Johnston,
no contest?

367
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,920
I broke my hand.
Okay? It's legit.

368
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,280
You don't see me
crying about it.

369
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,640
I don't see what you got
to complain about.

370
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,440
I still went out there, I still put
on a show. I did what I could do.

371
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,880
You know, we did that
boondock circuit for you...

372
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,480
me and Joe. Remember?

373
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,400
I didn't quit on you.
And I didn't quit tonight.

374
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,640
I didn't always lose.

375
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,680
I won't always lose again.

376
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,720
I can still fight.
Go home.

377
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,840
I can still fight. Go home
to Mae and the kids, Jim.

378
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,920
Go home? Go home with what?

379
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,800
Go home with what? A broken
hand from Mount Vernon?

380
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,680
Mr. Johnston!

381
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,600
[Door opening]

382
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,280
Baby?

383
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:53,720
What happened?

384
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,400
I didn't get the dough.

385
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,200
They didn't pay up.

386
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,960
They called it a "no contest,"
said the fight was an embarrassment.

387
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,120
They decommissioned me.

388
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,760
Jimmy,
what happened to your hand?

389
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,400
It's broke again
in three places.

390
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,680
(Braddock)
They said I'm through, Mae.

391
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,840
They said
I can't be a boxer no more.

392
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,360
Mercy.

393
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,760
Okay.

394
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,200
Jimmy, if you can't work...

395
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,440
we're not gonna be able to pay
the electric, or the heat.

396
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,160
And we're out of credit
at the grocery.

397
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,640
So I think we need
to pack the kids.

398
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,920
They could stay at my sister's
for a little while...

399
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,800
and I'll take in more sewing.

400
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,800
That way we could make
two, three breadlines a day.

401
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,400
I'll get doubles, triples,
whatever I can find.

402
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,760
Jimmy, you can't work.
Mae, I can still work.

403
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,320
Jimmy, you can't work.
Your hand's broken.

404
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,840
They see me
lugging this around,

405
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,800
you're right,
they won't pick me.

406
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,240
Not down the docks,
not anywhere.

407
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,680
So we're gonna cover it up...

408
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,400
with the shoe polish.

409
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:22,760
Okay?

410
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,320
I'm sorry.
No.

411
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,360
No.

412
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,360
[Sighing]

413
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:10,920
No.

414
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:34,200
(Jake)
I need five and only five!

415
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,560
Come on, Jake!

416
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,880
[Men screaming]

417
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,320
One.

418
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,520
Two.

419
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,560
Three.

420
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,360
Four.

421
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,560
Five. That's it!

422
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,960
[Ship's horn blowing]

423

[Men chattering]

424
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,680
(Mike) What the hell
happened to your face?

425
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,960
I got in a fight.
Yeah?

426
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,800
What'd you go do that for?

427
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,640
That's a good question.

428
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,960
Mike Wilson.

429
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,200
Jim Braddock.

430
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,800
I used to follow a pretty good
fighter with that name.

431
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,160
And there's some other guy
going around using that name now.

432
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,120
Can't fight for shit.

433
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Gambling man will lose
a lot of money on him. Twice.

434
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,320
[Braddock moaning]

435
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,840
(Mike)
That hand ain't gonna work.

436
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,240
You can't slow me down.
I need this job.

437
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:51,960
I need the job, too.

438
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,800
[Whistle blowing]

439
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,440
What's wrong with
the goddamn hand?

440
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:04,760
[Panting]

441
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,240
You see us
falling behind, Jake?

442
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,680
He's all right.

443
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,120
Appreciate it.

444
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,200
I'll get a cold beer.

445
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,280
Just a water for me, Quincy.

446
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,800
All I got today
are big spenders.

447
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,800
Beer for him, too. I'm buying.

448
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,760
Don't hurt my feelings.

449
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,800
It's been a while, but... You
don't have to twist my arm.

450
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,280
(Mike) Yeah, I used to be a
broker. Still lost it all in '29.

451
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,800
Yeah, me, too.

452
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,920
I had just about everything
I ever earned in stocks.

453
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,200
Even had a little
taxi company.

454
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,680
I mean, who loses their dough
on cabs in New York City, right?

455
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,880
Well, I thought that one
was gold for the grandkiddies.

456
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,800
You know, there's people living
in shacks in Central Park.

457
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,600
Call it the Hooverville.

458
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,400
This government's
dropped us flat.

459
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,680
We need to organize, you know?
Unionize. Fight back.

460
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,680
Fight? Fight what?

461
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,800
Bad luck? Greed? Drought?

462
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:24,680
No point punching things
you can't see.

463
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,000
No, we'll work
a way through this.

464
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,760
FDR, he's gonna handle it.
Screw FDR.

465
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,320
FDR, Hoover,
they're all the same.

466
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,800
You know, I come home one day.
I stand in my living room.

467
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,160
And between the mortgage and the
market and the goddamn lawyer...

468
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,000
that was supposed
to be working for me...

469
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,840
it stopped being mine.

470
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,840
It all stopped being mine.

471
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,440
FDR ain't given me
my house back yet.

472
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,800
Mama, why can't I
go to school?

473
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,120
Is it because I'm a girl?

474
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,600
(Mae) Maybe. Hadn't thought of that.

475
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,960
Who's that man
at our house?

476
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,360
(Mae)
Excuse me!

477
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,000
Can I help you?

478
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,960
I'm sorry, lady,
you're past due.

479
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,400
[Panting]
No, you can't.

480
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,520
You can't.
There's kids.

481
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,800
(electrician) If I
don't, they let me go.

482
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,720
They already let two guys go.
Please.

483
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,680
This apartment, it's what we got
left that keeps us hanging on.

484
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,640
Lady, I got kids, too.

485
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,240
$6.74.

486
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,000
How much to turn it back on?

487
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,480
Four months. $44.12.

488
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,440
If I work 26 hours out of
every 24, it still won't add up.

489
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,840
We ain't got nothing.
Nothing left to sell.

490
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,800
All the guys
you could've married, huh?

491
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,480
Yeah.
What happened to those guys?

492
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,680

It's Howard.

495
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,600
Since this afternoon.

496
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,280
"Bless us, O Lord...

"and these thy gifts which
we are about to receive...

I said where are you going?

503
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,720
Go to hell,
you no-good bastard!

504
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,880
Go on, then!
We don't need you!

505
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,400
All right. Help me,
pick up some of that wood.

506
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,800
(Rosemarie) I got it, Mama.
All right, let's go, sweetheart.

507
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,200
All right, honey.

Nothing, sweetheart.

[Panting]

523
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,280
Howard's fever was getting worse
and then Rosy started to sneeze.

524
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,280
Where are they, Mae? Jim,
we can't even keep 'em warm.

525
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,360
Where are the kids?

526
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,280
The boys will sleep on the
sofa at my father's in Brooklyn.

527
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,400
And Rosy'll stay
at my sister's.

528
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,800
Jimmy, we can't keep 'em!

529
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,520
You don't make decisions
about our children without me.

530
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,560
What if they get really sick?
We already owe Dr. McDonald...

531
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,640
If you send them away, then
all this has been for nothing!

532
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:25,920
It's just until we get back...
What else was it for?

533
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,200
If we can't stay together,
that means we lost!

534
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,360
That means we've given up!
I am not giving up!

535
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,280
I'm trying to protect our
children. Mae, I promised him.

536
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,680
Outside the butcher's.

537
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,720
I looked him in the eyes...

538
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,360
and I promised him
with all of my heart...

539
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,840
I would never ever
send him away.

540
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,280
You can't do this.

541
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,320
You weren't here.

542
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,840
You can't break my promise.

543
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,880
Jim, you didn't see.
You weren't here.

544
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:04,320
(Mae)
I'm sorry.

545
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,120
I'm sorry, Jimmy.

546
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,640
What are you doing?

547
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:21,520
Jim?

548
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,800
Jimmy! Where you going?

549
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,600
Where you going, Jimmy?

550
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,760
(clerk) That doesn't qualify you,
sir. What else can you tell me?

551
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,360
(man) The problem is my wife
is losing all of her teeth.

552
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:55,960
I got a relief order
for her.

553
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,320
The doctor says
it's due to insufficient diet.

554
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,680
She's still nursing the baby
on account of...

555
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,400
we can't afford milk
for the family.

556
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,600
(clerk)
Okay.

557
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,320
I never thought
I'd see you here, Jim.

558
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,520
[Woman chattering]

559
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,240
[Men chattering]

560
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,520
(promoter)
He jumped up...

561
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,880
kicked his stool
out of the ring...

562
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,560
and he was just,
he was furious.

563
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,800
I grabbed the mike...

564
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,360
There's Jimmy Braddock.

565
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,200
The thing is,
I can't afford to...

566
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,200
I can't afford
to pay the heat.

567
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,920
I've had to
farm out my kids.

568
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,840
You know, they keep cutting
shifts down at the docks...

569
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,000
and you just don't get picked
every day.

570
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:12,240
I sold everything I've got
that anybody would buy.

571
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,000
I went on public assistance. I
signed on at the relief office.

572
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:27,160
They gave me $19.
I need another $18.38...

573
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:30,240
so I can pay the bill
and get the kids back.

574
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,800
You know me well enough to know
if I had anywhere else to go...

575
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:40,840
I wouldn't be here.

576
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,480
If you could help me through this
time, I sure would be grateful.

577
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,520
Sure, Jim. Sure.

578
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:11,880
Good luck.

579
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,280
(promoter #1)
Jim.

580
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:19,800
(promoter #2)
Hey, Jimmy.

581
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,680
(promoter #3)
Here you go, Jim.

582
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:53,480
Good luck, Jim.

583
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,400
I'm sorry, Joe, I didn't...
I'm sorry.

584
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,120
What in the hell do you have
to be sorry about?

585
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,600
Jesus Christ, Jimmy.

586
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,360
How short are you?

587
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:47,720
About $1.50.

588
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:51,840
Okay.

589
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,200
(Jay) We're home! Hooray, we're home!

590
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:57,920
(Rosemarie)
We're glad to be home!

591
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,360
Good.

592

[Howard laughing]

593
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,240
(Mae)
Okay. All right.

594
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,920
Howard, don't jump on
the bed. Sorry, Mama.

595
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:17,880

Read to me, Jay.

(Jay) "On his way up
and down the stairs... "

597
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,720
(Rosemarie) Do you like being
home? I like being home, too.

598
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,400

[All cheering]

605
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,960
Hey, Howard, come on.
They're gonna cut the cake up.

606
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,280
You wanna line up, huh?

607
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,960
You looking forward
to some chocolate cake?

608
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,000
I liked it better
when we had our own.

609
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,520
I can understand that.

610
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,000
[People chattering]

611
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,240
(Father Rorick) Hiya, Howard. Hi.

612
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,240
Hey, your dad ever tell you
that I used to spar with him?

613
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,520
You hit the Father?
As often as I possibly could.

614
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,560
He was kinda tricky, though.
Hard to catch.

615
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,280
Go and get some cake. Go on.

616
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:24,120
Missed you at mass, Jimmy.

617
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,120
I can get an extra shift
on a Sunday, you know?

618
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,400
(Sara) Don't you walk
away from me! James.

619
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,200
Mike, you hear me?

620
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,360
Excuse me.

621
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,320
Every day, "fix the world. "
How about fixing your family?

622
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,800
What kind of father
are you?

623
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,400
Too proud to cross the street
because she can't have her own cake?

624
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,600
And now you're drunk at
church, for Christ's sake.

625
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,800
That a joke, Sara? Making a
joke? I'm just saying it's enough!

626
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,600
Guys, where's the ref? Why
don't you stay out of this?

627
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,640
It's between man and wife. How
do you even call yourself that?

628
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:51,680
What'd you say to me?
Come on.

629
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:52,800
Get your hands off me!

630
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:53,920
You've had a couple drinks.
It's Sunday.

631
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,400
No harm in that. Day of rest.
All washed up. Can't get a fight.

632
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:57,640
What, you want to fight me?

633
00:45:57,720 --> 00:45:59,400
Mike,
you don't have to do this.

634
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,360
I ain't got no beef
with you.

635
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,800
Come on! Can't make it in the ring, huh?

636
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,560
Come on, Braddock,
I'll take your head off!

637
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,800
Jim, no!
Mike, you okay, baby?

638
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,240
[Panting]
Why don't you get off me?

639
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,640
Go to hell! The both of you!

640
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,480
Jesus, Jim,
he wasn't gonna hit me.

641
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:21,640
(Sara)
Mike, wait!

642
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,680
Now, what it's all about is
rotating your body behind your fist.

643
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,880
Bang. That's right.
Right in the kisser, yeah.

644
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:40,960
There you go.

645
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:47,400
Good girl. You got a
better jab than your dad.

[Chuckling]

647
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,760
Boy, you are a brave man. Not
really. Mae's at the store.

648
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:55,720
That's a good one, kiddo!

649
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,400
You want to go play with the other
kids while I talk to Uncle Joe?

650
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,360
Joe Gould,
still looking dapper, I see.

651
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,560
Certainly. Gotta keep up
appearances, right?

652
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,480
Good to see you, Jimmy.
Nice to see you, Joe.

653
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:14,680
Nice day, huh?

654
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,120
Yeah.

655
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,400
You drove all the way out here
to talk about the weather?

656
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,880
Maybe I was in the neighborhood.
Did you ever think of that?

657
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,120
Little fresh air.

658
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,920
Joe, this is Jersey.

659
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,320
Yeah. Good point.

660
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,120
[Both laughing]

661
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:38,880
I got you a fight.

662
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,640
Go to hell. Come on.
You want it, don't you?

663
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:45,960
What, we gonna bring this up with
the Boxing Commission, or not?

664
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,160
Yes, and they'll sanction it.
This one fight, and one fight only.

665
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:51,760
It's not a comeback, right?
It's just one fight.

666
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,400
Why?
'Cause of who you're fighting.

667
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:55,800
How much?

668
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,360
Just once, ask me who
it is you're fighting.

669
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,800
How much?
$250.

670
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,760
You're on at the big show
at the Garden, tomorrow night.

671
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,800
You fight Corn Griffin, Jimmy.

672
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,240
Number two heavyweight
contender in the world.

673
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,400
Prelim before
the championship bout.

674
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,320
You know, Joe, this
ain't funny. No, it's not.

675
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,320
And it ain't no favor,
either.

676
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,760
Griffin's opponent got cut,
and he couldn't fight.

677
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,440
So they had to find somebody they
could throw in at a day's notice.

678
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:19,840
Nobody legit would...

679
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:25,560
Nobody would take a fight
with Griffin without training.

680
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,800
So I told them use the angle
Griffin's gonna knock out a guy...

681
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:32,880
never been knocked out.

682
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:35,280
You're meat, Jimmy.

683
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,800
Are you on the level, Joe?

684
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,840
Come on. Always.

685
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,120
For $250,
I would fight your wife.

686
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,120
Now you're dreaming.

687
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,960
And your grandmother.
At the same time.

688
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:46,400
Teeth in or teeth out?
Take them out.

689
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,000
Then you're dead.
You're down, you're gone.

690
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:49,160
No chance.

Programs here! 25 cents!

695
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,240
I mean, for Christ's sake,
100 and something fights...

696
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:07,760
you never been knocked out.

697
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,720
Who the hell goes
and sells his gear?

698
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,400
80 fights as a pro,
50 as an amateur.

699
00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:16,120
How soon they forget!
I'm so sorry.

700
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,240
Borrowed gear, borrowed robe.
Knock yourself out.

701

[Chuckling]

702
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:22,480
Joe.

703
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,720
I might as well get an Aooga horn
and chase him around the ring.

704
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,520
That's good.
You been drinking?

705
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,440
Are you trying to
hurt my feelings?

706
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,880
You're just too loose. You're
spooking me. Sharpen up.

707
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,400
Come on, Joe, we both
know what this is, right?

708
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,480
I get to put a little more distance
between my kids and the street...

709
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,760
and I get to say good-bye
at the Garden.

710
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,480
Full house,
night of a big fight.

711
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,160
Thank you very much.

712
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,280
Right. Come on, hurry up.

713
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,200
Let's get the lead
out of here.

714
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,400
What the hell was that?

715
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,440
They ran out of soup
on the line this morning.

716
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,600
Ran out of soup
on the line this morning.

717
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,560
How the hell are you supposed
to fight on an empty stomach?

718
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,480
(Bond)
Good evening. 

719
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:21,320
Welcome to tonight's broadcast of the Primo Carnera/Max Baer
fight... 

720
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,800
for the heavyweight
championship of the world!

721
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,840
Hash is all they had, okay?
Eat, quick.

722
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,000
You got a spoon? For
Christ's sake, it's not there?

723
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,320
Come on, we gotta go anyway.
One bite, Joe.

724
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,360
I'll eat it with my fingers.
Whoa, hey!

725
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,560
I don't have time
to re-tape you.

726
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,720
Just sit tight,
and I'll find you a spoon.

727
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:43,880
For Christ's sake.

728
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,760
(Sporty) Is that a ghost
I'm seeing? An apparition?

729
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,400
Or is that James J. Braddock,
the Bulldog of Bergen?

730
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,800
How you feeling, Jimmy?
How's that right hand?

731
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,280
(official)
Braddock, you're up!

732
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,480

Go get your pencil out, kid.
I got your lead line for you.

battle, we'll bring you...

that ran rings...

around the champion Carnera
in training. 

756
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,160
And who's his opponent?

757
00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:29,360
Looks like they dug old Jim Braddock
out of retirement... 

758
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:30,880
at least for one more fight. 

759
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:32,720
Hey, Mike! Griffin is up
in the ring now.

(Bond) The skinny from
the reporters at ringside... 

777
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,280
is that Braddock
won't last two rounds. 

778
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,880
Griffin is a five-to-one
favorite to do just that.

But Joe Gould claims
Braddock's right hand is fine.

Come on, Braddock,
make a fight of it!

Get out of it! Get out, Jimmy!

786

to the body

00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:21,240
A hard right!

Pins him in
the neutral corner.

Shut up! I wanna hear this!
Shut up!

797
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,400
(Joe) Jim? You're fine. Stay down.

798
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,000
One. Two.
Stay down! What's the hurry?

799
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,320
Three. Four.
Hey! Listen.

800
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,840
I liked the left. Try two lefts. Five.

801
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,160
Give him two lefts!
Six.

802
00:54:56,240 --> 00:54:58,200
Pop, pop! Double it up.
Seven.

Nine.

806
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,360
Yeah, come on, Jimmy!
On your feet, come on!

807
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,880
(Bond)
The referee waving Griffin in. 

808
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:10,560
Move in on that.

809
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:11,960
Nice move!

810
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,320
Bring him in!

(Joe)
Beautiful!

815
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,360
That's more like it!
Let me see that cut.

816
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:27,400
You look great!

817
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,800
It sure as hell beats working
on the docks!

818
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:36,400
Say, the two jabs look
sensational! They look sweet!

819
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,920
Now, he's loading up on you.
You see that?

820
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,120
He opens up after you jab him. You
gotta come in there with a right.

821
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:43,200
Real quick.

822
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,360
But you gotta stop
some of those left hands.

823
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,240
You see any
getting past my head?

824
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:50,800
Keep moving!

Griffin still winging
big shots. 

827
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,640
He wants to be the first
to stop Braddock. 

828
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,840
Braddock gets in
another big right hand!

829
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,120
Snapped Griffin's head back
with that one. 

830
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,200
Come on!

831
00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:09,600
Griffin loading up. 

832
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:14,400
Move out!
Give him the slip, Jimmy!

833
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,280
Another big flurry by Griffin!

834
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,400
Braddock hanging tough but, folks,
he is taking a beating!

835
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,880
(Sporty) That's two rounds more
than I thought he was gonna go.

836
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,840
He's a half a step behind you.
Do you feel it?

837
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,880
Stick with it.

838
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,240

[Bell rings]

840
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:36,200
Six minutes of fury so far. 

841
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,800
Braddock has the look of a man
trying to hold back an avalanche. 

842
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:44,640
Griffin hits him with a left. 

843
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,680
And Braddock is stepping
in post holes. 

844
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:50,840
(Joe)
Keep him in front of you!

845
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:53,640
Lure him in, Jim.

846
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:56,800
(Bond) Jimmy's finally
moving his head. 

847
00:56:57,720 --> 00:56:59,280
Pick your spot!

848
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:05,880

He's up at three.

00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,280
The referee wipes his gloves.

00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,160
That's it!
No daylight!

856
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:37,920
Take it to him!

857
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,800

to the goddamn Ozarks!

Griffin is ready to go!

863
00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:59,000
Be careful.

864
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:00,680
Get back.

865
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,800
Get back there.
Get back in your corner.

866
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:10,280
Jimmy!

867
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,720
[All cheering]

868
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,360
This fight is over!
This is incredible!

869
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,240
[Bell ringing] Corn Griffin, the number two
contender in the world... 

870
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,760
has just been knocked out by Jim Braddock
in the third round!

871
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,200
What an upset!

872
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:25,960
You son of a bitch!

873
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,200
It's pandemonium here
in the Garden!

874
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,720
That's it, man, he did it!
I don't believe it!

875
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:32,720
[Crowd cheering]

876
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,840
(Joe)
You beautiful bastard!

877
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,480
(Joe) Settle down, for Christ's sake!

878
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,480
Jesus H. Christ!

879
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,920
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Mary Magdalene...

880
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,880
all the saints and martyrs
and Jesus!

881
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,280
Did I say "Jesus"?

882
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:53,400
[Chuckling]

883
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:54,960
Where the hell did
that come from?

884
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:56,520
I don't know.
When my hand was broke...

885
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,840
I had to work down on the
docks and I had to use my left.

886
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,800
So, what?
No, that and luck.

887
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,960
Luck?
Sheer dumb-ass Irish luck.

888
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,280
Don't give me that
luck-of-the-Irish crap. No, sir.

889
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,440
Lucky? That's something you ain't
been in a long time, brother.

890
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:10,800
Everybody's due.

891
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,680
Due or not, I'll take it.
You had the left.

892
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:14,520
The left. But you were bouncy.

893
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,200
You were bouncing.

894
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,760
Unbelievable. Sliding,
slipping. You were like a cat.

895
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,240
I did that on hash.

896
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,960
Imagine what I would've done to
him if I'd had a couple of steaks.

897
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:30,800
Jimmy?

898
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,000
That was one hell of
a good-bye.

899
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:39,120
[Laughing]

900
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,640
Here you go, fellas!
Have at him!

901
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,240
[Reporters screaming]

902
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,560
[Crowd cheering]

903
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,440
Jesus Christ!

904
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,360
(man #1)
Murder him, Maxie!

905
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,560
(man #2)
Primo!

906
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:26,600
This is fighting?

907
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,360
Why doesn't he just hit him
with a goddamn chair?

908
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,920
Griffin was supposed to fight
Baer next.

909
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,600
He should kiss your ass for
saving him from that thing.

910
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,000
[Crowd screaming]

911
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:56,400
[Bell ringing]

912
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:01,600
(man #3)
Throw him down, Maxie!

913
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,280
(man #4)
Give it to him, Maxie!

914
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,000
[Crowd cheering]

915
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:12,800
[Crowd whistling]

916
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,000
(Frazin)
Ladies and gentlemen... 

917
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,240
the new heavyweight champion
of the world... 

918
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:24,760
Max Baer!

919
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:39,560
Come on! He's home.

920
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:53,800
[Sighing]

921
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:09,320
I won.

922
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,640
(Jay) Hooray, he won! I knew you'd win!

923
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,760
[Kids screaming]

924
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,840
(Jay)
He won, he won, he won!

925
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:20,960
[Braddock grunting]

926
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:24,320
(Rosemarie)
Get the silverware.

927
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,720
So was it like you said? Or
are they letting you back in?

928
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,440
No, baby.
It was just one fight.

929
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,000
[Men chattering]

930
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,960
(Jake) All right, I need
seven men, and seven only!

931
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,240
One. Two. Three.

932
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,280
Four. Five.

933
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:07,360
Thanks.

934
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:09,880
(Jake)
Braddock!

935
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,720
Listened in last night.
Was that really you?

936
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,400
Yeah.

937
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,800
Didn't think
I'd be seeing you back here.

938
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,400
It came up at the last minute,
you know?

939
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,560
It was a one-fight deal.
The purse was $250.

940
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,560
My end of that was a little less
than half. It was, like, $123.

941
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,680
We owed $118.
Left me with $5.

942
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,280
Makes you a rich man, huh?
Around here.

943
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,000
Good fight.
Thanks.

944
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:41,920
Dock seven.
Seven.

945
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:49,960
Hey, Jim.
Hey, Mike.

946
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:57,640
Good fight.
Thanks.

947
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,760
I wouldn't have hit Sara.
I know, Mike.

948
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,400
I couldn't live with myself
if I'd have hit her.

949
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,160
Just get so angry
with all this shit.

950
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,760
You know, if you were gonna
win, you could've told me.

951
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,720
If I knew I was gonna win,
I would've bet on myself.

952
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,360
Why can't you ever listen
to me? I don't know.

953
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,000
(man on radio) ...to determine whether
the strikers were willing...

954
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,200
to submit to
an arbitration situation. 

955
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,640
Tension pervaded the New York
waterfront yesterday. 

956
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,840
(Mae) Why don't you go play
with the boys, sweetheart?

957
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:40,920
Be careful.

958
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,240
Hey, Rosy.
Hi, Daddy!

959
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:47,880
[Kids chattering]

960
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,280
You know,
Joe Gould was just here.

961
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,800
Yeah, I saw.
You did?

962
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,360
He thinks the Commission
might be willing to...

963
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:05,640
reverse their ruling.

964
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,640
He thinks he can get me
another fight.

965
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,320
He wants me to stop working
and get back in shape.

966
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,840
I thought it was
just the one fight.

967
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:17,520
Well, yeah.

968
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,800
He fronted us $175
so I can train.

969
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:29,560
You know what that is
right there?

970
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:31,280
That's a second chance.

971
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,160
That's what that is.

972
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,800
It's not that
I'm not grateful...

973
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,200
or proud, honey.
I'm so proud of you.

974
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,200
But we got off easy
when you broke that hand.

975
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:53,240
We're back to even now.

976
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,280
Right. And nine months from
now, we're back in the same boat.

977
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:57,600
Baby, please.

978
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,320
We just don't have anything
left to risk.

979
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:01,520
Mae.

980
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,440
There's still some juice in these
legs, and I can still take a few.

981
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:08,240
Baby, please.

982
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:12,800
Just let me take them
in the ring.

983
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:14,680
At least I know
who's hitting me.

984
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:33,640
I'm gonna go
and tell the kids.

985
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,400
Jay! Guess what.
What?

986
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,280
I got another fight!
Who with?

987
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,840
I don't know, but he's
going down. Hey, Howard.

988
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:23,600
Jesus.

989
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:27,240
Joe, open the door.

990
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,920
(Mae)
Joe! Open the damn door!

991
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,960
Don't hide in your fancy
apartment. I want to talk to you.

992
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,440
You are not gonna make my husband
your punching bag all over again.

993
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,120
We are just getting by, and
you're taking him from his work...

994
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,440
like some bloodsucking
little leech!

995
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,400
And I will not let you get
him hurt again like that...

996
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,960
do you hear me?
I will not let you!

997
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:57,400
Guess you better come in.

998
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:10,360
(Joe)
How is it?

999
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,320
Too sweet per usual.

1000
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,320
Really? Go figure.

1001
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,000
(Joe) Yours? Nice, thanks.

1002
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:20,960
Sorry about that.

1003
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,440
You just don't want folks
to see you down is all.

1004
01:08:27,440 --> 01:08:29,640
I didn't know.
I mean, I thought that...

1005
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:34,280
Yeah, no. That's the idea.
Always keep your hands up.

1006
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,800
[Clears throat]

1007
01:08:41,480 --> 01:08:43,400
Sold the last of it
two days ago.

1008
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:45,840
So Jimmy could train.

1009
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:48,320
Why?

1010
01:08:54,480 --> 01:08:56,760
Sometimes you have
an instinct, Mae.

1011
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,800
You see something
in a fighter.

1012
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,840
You don't even know if it's real,
you're looking for it so bad.

1013
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:15,120
Can't have no hope at all.

1014
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:17,720
But this is crazy.

1015
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,480
I mean, you don't even know
if you can get him a fight.

1016
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:21,920
I'll get him a fight.

1017
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,960
Believe me, if it's the last
thing I do, I'll get him a fight.

1018
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,520
Honey. Go get us some
of those crackers, would you?

1019
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,600
She looks good
wearing the pants.

1020
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:47,840
Can you ever stop yours?

1021
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,000
When he sets his mind
to a thing?

1022
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:56,920
I wish I could.

1023
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,800
See, I never know
who it's harder on...

1024
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:02,720
them or us.

1025
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,400
We have to wait for them
to fix everything.

1026
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,240
And every day...

1027
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,320
they feel like
they're failing us.

1028
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,480
And really, it's just the
world that's failed, you know?

1029
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:24,240
[Sighing]

1030
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,280
This is a lovely apartment. Thank you.

1031
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,720
(Johnston) Now, what am I
gonna go and do that for?

1032
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:37,840
You saw the papers.

1033
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,960
News had to print extra
copies the day after Braddock's fight.

1034
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,120
People are sentimental, you
know. Some people are sentimental.

1035
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,680
Yeah, so tell me why I care.

1036
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,200
You're still sore over the way
Braddock took down Griffin, fine.

1037
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,280
I can understand that. It was a
heartbreak for a lot of people.

1038
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,000
Yes. But look.

1039
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,720
You got guys fighting
an elimination series...

1040
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,880
over who gets a shot at Max Baer
for the championship in June.

1041
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,720
John Henry Lewis,
he's your number two in line.

1042
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,800
Now, he already defeated
Braddock once in Frisco, correct?

1043
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,840
Say you put Braddock back
in the game against Lewis.

1044
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,400
Lewis wins, you get your
revenge on Braddock...

1045
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:18,760
and your boy has gotten
a topflight tune-up...

1046
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,440
with full publicity before
Lasky, and what happens?

1047
01:11:21,480 --> 01:11:23,000
You make more money.

1048
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,240
Now, say on the other hand, by
some minute, infinitesimal chance...

1049
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,280
God forbid,
Braddock beats Lewis.

1050
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,120
Now you got a sentimental
favorite go up...

1051
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,480
and lose against Lasky,
and what happens?

1052
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:38,200
You'll make more money.

1053
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:40,400
James, either way...

1054
01:11:40,480 --> 01:11:43,920
you're a richer man with Braddock
back in the ring than if he's not.

1055
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,560
Come on, don't be foolish. We
both know the name of this game.

1056
01:11:49,440 --> 01:11:51,280
And it sure as hell
ain't "pugilism. "

1057
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,600
They ought to put your mouth
in a circus.

1058
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,360
What do you say?

1059
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,520
Don't chase him.
Go around, cut him off.

1060
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:15,440
Time! (Joe) James!

1061
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,560
I got you a fight.
Yeah?

1062
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,840
You're gonna fight
John Henry Lewis again.

1063
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,800
Yeah!

1064
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:24,640
Joey! I could kiss you!

1065
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,160
No, please,
not in front of the fellas.

1066
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,720
Isn't John Henry
one of Johnston's boys?

1067
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,600
You let me worry about that,
please.

1068
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,800
Now I know why you won't kiss me.
You're all puckered out already.

1069
01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:36,920
Brother, you have no idea.

1070
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,800
Lewis?
Kicked our ass in Frisco.

1071
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,400
Yeah. Hey, Mike.
Who's "our ass" up there?

1072
01:12:42,480 --> 01:12:44,600
Joe Gould, Mike Wilson.
Mike Wilson, Joe Gould.

1073
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:45,800
Hi.

1074
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,800
That guy ain't been beat
in ten fights.

1075
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,920
But you win on a long shot, and
that's a great payday for me.

1076
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,000
That's great.
I'll keep that in mind, Mike!

1077
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,920
You got more important things
to think about. Come here.

1078
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,280
Now, I ain't gonna
bullshit you, all right?

1079
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:02,840
Now, you win one,
I can get you another.

1080
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:07,000
Win again and then things maybe
start getting serious around here.

1081
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:08,720
Jimmy?

1082
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:11,400
Win.

1083
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:13,240
[Grunting]

1084
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:29,200
(Jeanette)
Look good.

1085
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:32,600
Leverage.

1086
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,480
(Jeanette)
That's it, James!

1087
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,400
Be a bully, James!
Aggression, that's it.

1088
01:14:08,480 --> 01:14:09,640
Thanks.

1089
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:13,960
I know this isn't
what you wanted...

1090
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:16,320
but I can't win
without you behind me.

1091
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,400
I'm always behind you.

1092
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:21,840
Thank you, baby.

1093
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:26,880
I got a great idea.
You want to come along?

1094
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,640
Come on, just this one time.
All right. Okay.

1095
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,000
Okay, I'll make that
a rain check then.

1096
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:39,400
[Sighing]

1097
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,760
Lewis, still moving well here
in the fourth. 

1098
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,760
He dances in and out
before Braddock can react. 

1099
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,800
[Crowd cheering]

1100
01:15:10,440 --> 01:15:12,360
Don't let him
set the pace, Jimmy!

1101
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,400
[Grunting]

1102
01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:16,960
There you go.

1103
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,440
Braddock slides to his right,
tries cutting down the ring. 

1104
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,720
John, get off the ropes.
Move out of there.

1105
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,400
(Bond) Lewis spins his way
off the ropes... 

1106
01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:40,200
[bell rings] And looks to resume control
at the bell!

1107
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:46,240
There we go. Suck it up.
Deep breath.

1108
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:47,960
Deep breath, deep.

1109
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,800
All right. That ain't bad. He's
even faster than I remember.

1110
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,800
Yeah. He's fast. Big deal.
You're not so bad yourself.

1111
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,560
What are you doing? You
beat this guy easy last time.

1112
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,000
He ain't the same guy.
You got to use your speed.

1113
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:01,440
Keep that jab in his face
and keep sliding to his right.

1114
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,160
You see that.
Keep him in front of you.

1115
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:04,280
Cut him off, all right?

1116
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,360
And let go with the punches.
Hit him! He ain't gonna like it.

1117
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:10,520
I guarantee you, the more
you hit this bastard...

1118
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:11,760
the slower he's gonna get.

1119
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,320
He's an old man. He's too
slow. He can't keep up with you.

1120
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:15,880
Come on. Use that jab.
How's that cut?

1121
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:16,960
He's all right.

1122
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:18,240
Knock the legs out
from under him.

1123
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,680
Trap him in the corner,
and really work him.

1124
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:22,320
(Joe) Do not fight this fight his way.

1125
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,680
You make him fight
this fight your way!

1126
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,400
Let's go. You got him.

1127
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:27,440
[Bell rings]

1128
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:29,760
[Crowd applauding]

1129
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,440
(Bond) A left to the body
and a hard right to the head!

1130
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,120
A left-right-left by Lewis.
His dancing shoes are off. 

1131
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:36,680
It's a fight now, folks!

1132
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:40,400
Work his body, Jim!

1133
01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:42,240
Braddock punching well
with both hands now. 

1134
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,840
Toe to toe!
No one giving an inch. 

1135
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,600
That left has some pop!

1136
01:16:50,440 --> 01:16:53,400
Jimmy's hoping those body shots
will pay dividends. 

1137
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:55,760
(Joe) Keep him in there! Stay with him!

1138
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,280
Don't give him any room!
No room!

1139
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,120
Get out of the corner.

1140
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,200
(Bond) Braddock pushing
all the action now. 

1141
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:09,800
Lewis can't discourage him.
Tremendous pressure from Jimmy. 

1142
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,680
Lewis is running out of real estate in this
24-foot ring. 

1143
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:14,800
(man)
Jump on him!

1144
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:17,200
And Lewis is down!

1145
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:19,520
[Crowd cheering]

1146
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:22,840
Gotcha. Good boy.

1147
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:24,280
(coach)
Get up!

1148
01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:27,640
(referee) One. There you go, get up!

1149
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:29,720
Two.
Come on.

1150
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,200
Three.

1151
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,160
Four. Five.

1152
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:37,920
Six.

1153
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:43,680
(Bond)
The referee wipes his gloves

1154
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,280
and Braddock steams
back to ring center!

1155
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:46,680
Close it down.

1156
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,400
Another big right by Braddock!

1157
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,680
Lewis is just a piece of meat
as Braddock is carving him up!

1158
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,800
Braddock is now dominating Lewis!
Here comes Jimmy!

1159
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,000
[Crowd screaming]

1160
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,160
Side to side!
Side to side!

1161
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:15,880
(Bond) In the tenth, riding high
after his dazzling victory... 

1162
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:17,360
over John Henry Lewis... 

1163
01:18:17,480 --> 01:18:20,280
Jim Braddock has just hit
a wall named Art Lasky. 

1164
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:25,640
He can't keep taking
those body shots.

1165
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,120
I know. He's cracked
a couple of ribs for sure.

1166
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:32,160
(Bond) Lasky walks through
those jabs... 

1167
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,200
and keeps working
on Braddock's body. 

1168
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:35,840
But Braddock won't fold!

1169
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:39,200
He's making Lasky work hard for every minute of
every round. 

1170
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:41,440
That's it, get on him!

1171
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,360
There you go, James!
That's it!

1172
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:52,840
[Crowd screaming]

1173
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,400
(Bond) Lasky's starting to
impose his will. 

1174
01:18:56,480 --> 01:18:58,880
He's showing why Jimmy Johnston is
making noises... 

1175
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,320
about matching him
with Max Baer for the title. 

1176
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:06,680
(referee)
Break it up!

1177
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,320
Come on. Break free.

1178
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:11,920
[Bell rings]
Break.

1179
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,920
Don't sit down. You're
not tired. You're fine.

1180
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,680
Get that thing out of here!
He don't need it!

1181
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,160
(Joe)
Is he looking over at you?

1182
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:27,280
Shake your head
like you don't need it.

1183
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,760
Shake your head like
you don't want it. There.

1184
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,640
Why isn't he sitting down?
Pay attention.

1185
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,000
Yeah, now he's gonna wonder:

1186
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,680
"If Braddock is such an old
man, why is he still standing?

1187
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:38,400
Why is he still
coming at me?"

1188
01:19:39,480 --> 01:19:42,680
You're stronger than this guy.
Don't back up! Don't back off!

1189
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:44,800
This guy is a bull-rusher.

1190
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,760
He's gonna keep coming at you
all night until you stop him.

1191
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:49,840
He can't back up.
You stop him.

1192
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:52,680
You gotta beat
this son of a bitch!

1193
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,480
You gotta beat this son of
a bitch from the inside out!

1194
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:57,440
You hear me?
You gotta get in there.

1195
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:59,000
You get in there
and you hit him...

1196
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,280
and you keep hitting him
until you break his nose.

1197
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,520
You fill his face with blood.

1198
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,640

he's finally starting to wilt.

to put a Grimm ending...

fairy-tale comeback.

to the body.

a tremendous shot!

A hard right to the head which knocked
his mouthpiece...

to the canvas. 

1209
01:21:04,440 --> 01:21:06,760
Braddock just took
Lasky's best shot!

1210
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:08,400
And it didn't even faze him!

with a hard shot to the body!

1217
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,000
The younger Lasky looks like
he's starting to wilt... 

1218
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:55,800
under the pressure from the Bulldog of
North Bergen. 

1219
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,120
Braddock is now
back on the attack!

1220
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:00,840
Another vicious combination
by Braddock!

1221
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:02,880
And Lasky's flowing blood
from the nose!

1222
01:22:03,480 --> 01:22:05,360
The 15th and final round. 

1223

Braddock now looks
like the younger fighter... 

1224
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:09,160
and grimly determined. 

1225
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,120

not be denied!

just beat Lasky.

1236

the number one contender.

Shut up!

I'm not gonna fight Jimmy
Braddock. He's a chump.

You tell Johnston to bring me
somebody who can fight back.

1241

I've been staying at my
brother's since Jake cut him.

He's been sleeping nights
down in the Hooverville.

My brother didn't have room
for both him and us.

Mike said, you know, if he had
to stay down there anyway...

1260
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:08,320
he was gonna try
to get everybody organized.

wrong, Jim. I know it.

some trouble in Hooverville.

1263

He wouldn't leave me
and the baby for this long.

1264

He just wouldn't.

Max Baer's killed two men
in the ring?

1366
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:57,640
So how do you feel
about that, ma'am?

1367
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:00,120
Are you scared
for your husband's life?

1368
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,800
She's scared for Max Baer, is
who she's scared for, Mr. Lewis.

1369
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:06,240
(Joe) Okay, how about
one more question, folks?

1370
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:07,960
[Reporters screaming]

1371
01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:18,800
Said downstairs you wanted
to see us.

1372
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:20,800
Joe, Jim, come on in.
Have a seat.

1373
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,000
Right here.

1374
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,400
Editorial says
this fight is good as murder.

1375
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:32,680
And everybody associated with
it should be hauled into court...

1376
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:34,360
and prosecuted afterwards.

1377
01:31:34,440 --> 01:31:36,560
They say the paper's getting
all sorts of letters...

1378
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:38,520
from people saying
you're their inspiration.

1379
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:40,320
Like you saved their lives
or something.

1380
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,360
If you ask me,
it's a lot of crap.

1381
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:44,360
But if I'm gonna
promote this fight...

1382
01:31:44,440 --> 01:31:47,120
I'm not getting hung out to
dry if something happens to you.

1383
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:48,520
You're all heart.

1384
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:51,800
My heart's for my family, Joe.

1385
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:52,760
My brains and my balls
are for business...

1386
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:53,800
and this is business.

1387
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:55,680
You got me?
Gotcha.

1388
01:31:59,920 --> 01:32:02,520
You will know exactly
what you're up against.

1389
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:05,200
And my attorney,
Mr. Mills...

1390
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:08,320
will witness that I've done
everything in my power to warn you.

1391
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:13,640
You know,
I seen the Carnera fight.

1392
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:16,160
Carnera's height saved him.

1393
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:18,400
He was knocked down 12 times.

1394
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:20,840
Exactly. Would've been worse
if he was shorter.

1395
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,880
Baer had to punch up to hit
him. Took a little something off.

1396
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:28,480
[Projector whirring]

1397
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:34,440
(Johnston)
That's Frankie Campbell.

1398
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:37,240
Stand-up fighter,
knows how to take a punch.

1399
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:40,640
His style familiar, Jim?

1400
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:45,760
Like looking in a mirror, huh?
Hey, he don't need to see this.

1401
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:47,600
He'll see it
or I'll call off the fight.

1402
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:54,240
[Johnston exclaiming]

1403
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,240
(Johnston)
You see that combination?

1404
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:03,000
Campbell didn't go down
on the first punch.

1405
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:04,840
He was a tough guy.

1406
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:08,640
Second one killed him
on the spot.

1407
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:17,840
Just cut it off, will you?

1408
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:27,800
The autopsy said that his
brain was knocked loose...

1409
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:29,840
from the connecting tissue.

1410
01:33:32,440 --> 01:33:35,800
(Joe) Consider your
ass fully covered, okay?

1411
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:40,160
Run it again.

1412
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:45,480
[Projector whirring]

1413
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:44,400
[Sighing]

1414
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:47,240
Remember Ernie Schaaf?

1415
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:49,640
(Johnston) Nice guy. You
lost one to him in '31.

1416
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,800
Ernie took one of those
on the chin from Baer.

1417
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:54,840
He was dead
and didn't know it.

1418
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:57,920
Next fight, first little nothing
jab put him to sleep forever.

1419
01:34:58,000 --> 01:34:59,400
Detached brain, they said.

1420
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:03,440
Joe?

1421
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:06,160
No snappy comeback?

1422
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:11,360
It ain't my skull the guy's
gonna try and stove in.

1423
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:13,400
You want to think about it?

1424
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:17,680
You think
you're telling me something?

1425
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:22,760
What, like, boxing's
dangerous, something like that?

1426
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:27,720
You don't think triple shifts or
working nights on the scaffolds...

1427
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:29,240
is just as likely
to get a guy killed?

1428
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:33,920
How many guys died the other
night living in cardboard shacks...

1429
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:35,800
trying to save on rent money?

1430
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,240
Guys who were trying to feed their
family. 'Cause men like you...

1431
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:41,640
have not yet quite figured out
a way to make money...

1432
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:43,400
out of watching that guy die.

1433
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:46,480
In my profession,
and it's my profession...

1434
01:35:48,440 --> 01:35:49,400
I'm a little more fortunate.

1435
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:51,400
[Scoffs]

1436
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,440
All righty then. You guys
have dinner here tonight.

1437
01:35:59,960 --> 01:36:01,400
Take your wives. It's on me.

1438
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:03,480
We'll snap some pics
on your way out.

1439
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:05,920
If you change your
mind tomorrow...

1440
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,720
at least we got some
good press out of it.

1441
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:09,640
(Joe)
Good. Come on.

1442
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:13,680
[People chattering]

1443
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,520
It's gorgeous!

1444
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,400
Jimmy, can we get silver
faucets? Of course.

1445
01:36:27,480 --> 01:36:29,440
(Braddock) How many you
want? A dozen? Right.

1446
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:31,960
Listen. A little bird told me
to check the evening edition.

1447
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:33,480
So let's see what we got.

1448
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:37,160
"Boxer Jim Braddock
has come back from the dead...

Yeah.

1452
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:48,240
Yeah. And get this.

girly. Yeah, kind of. Yeah.

Thank you.

I got the bill here. Yeah.

He's gonna leave a big, big tip.

1467

(Lucille) Yeah. He's a real peach.

Gotta love the guy.
Right, sweetie?

1469

Look at this.
This is me?

up? Oh, yeah. I think. Maybe.

to wish you bon voyage.

Don't open it. Put it in a
bag. We'll take it with us.

the fight. I really appreciate it.

successful night for both of us.

gonna kill me in the ring.

not to take this fight.

fellow. People admire you.

would be for you to take a fall.

ring. How about that, champ?

You are far too pretty
to be a widow.

That's not nice, Max.
Not nice. Come on.

On second thought, maybe I can
comfort you after he's gone.

goddamn mouth, you punk!

01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:15,400
Now he's got his wife
doing his fighting for him.

Yeah.

Oh, that's good.
One more time.

1526
01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:52,120
Keep your thumbs tucked in.
Keep your elbows in.

1527
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:54,160
All right.
That's enough, now.

1528
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:55,600
There's some sting in that.

1529

That's enough, please.

(Howard) I want a turn, Dad. All right.

1532
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:05,640
Hey, where's your defense?
Come on, get your hand up.

1533
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:06,680
I want a turn.

1534
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:08,880
[Metallic clanking]

1535
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:11,120
(Braddock) Left, right,
left. Pop, pop, bang.

1536
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:14,960
[Kids laughing]

1537
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:17,760
Come on, Howie.

1538
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:22,480
All right, that's enough!
No boxing in the house!

1539
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:24,640
No boxing out of the house.
All right?

1540
01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:26,400
No boxing. Period!

1541
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:28,600
You're gonna stay in school.

1542
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:29,880
Then you're gonna go
to college...

1543
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:31,400
and you're gonna have
professions.

1544
01:41:31,480 --> 01:41:34,680
Because you're not gonna have
your skulls smashed in, too!

1545
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:37,240
Do you understand me?
Is that clear?

1546
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:49,280
Hey, why don't you boys go and
get ready for bed, all right?

1547
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:50,360
[Crying]

1548
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:14,280
I used to pray...

1549
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:17,960
for you to get hurt
just enough...

1550
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:21,360
so you couldn't fight anymore.

1551
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:25,800
And when they took your license
away, even scared as I was...

1552
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:29,400
I went to the church
and I thanked God for it.

1553
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:31,800
'Cause I always knew...

1554
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:35,400
a day might come
when it could kill you.

1555
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,680
I just knew it, Jimmy.
And now it's here.

1556
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:40,480
You just got the jitters,
that's all.

1557
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:43,320
He's killed two men, Jimmy!
What's worth it?

1558
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:48,920
I have to believe I got some
kind of say over our lives. Okay?

1559
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:52,120
You know, that if things are
bad, that we can change them...

1560
01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:54,160
we can make things better
for our family.

1561
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:57,680
But I need you to be safe...

1562
01:42:57,760 --> 01:42:59,200
Nothing's safe anymore, Mae.
... so much.

1563
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:00,280
And without that...

1564
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:02,600
I need you to be safe!
... nothing's safe at all.

1565
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:03,840
All right.

1566
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:06,800
I have stood by for all of it.

1567
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:09,240
Until now.

1568
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:14,000
Not for this, Jimmy.
I just can't.

1569
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,120
So you train all you want.

1570
01:43:17,200 --> 01:43:20,120
Make a show of it
for yourself, for the papers.

1571
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:22,960
But you find a way
out of that fight.

1572
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:25,640
Break your hand again
if you have to.

1573
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:41,120
[Coughing]

1574
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:42,320
(man)
Is he all right?

1575
01:43:49,440 --> 01:43:51,000
So, how's he doing?

1576
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:53,840
He's old. He's arthritic.

1577
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:56,680
And his ribs haven't been
right since the Lasky fight.

1578
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,360
What's the bad news,
sunshine?

1579
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:01,320
Joe!
What?

1580
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,360
The reporters are here.
Jesus.

1581
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:05,720
Right. Get rid of that
goddamn rib protector.

1582
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,400
Jimmy!
Press is here, boy-o!

1583
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:09,720
Get bouncing around
in that ring!

1584
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,640
Showtime! Big smiles!
You're the belle of the ball!

1585
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:15,360
Baer don't need to know
about no goddamn ribs.

1586
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:46,400
Bye, Dad.

1587
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:09,960
Come on, let's go. Let's go.

1588
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:26,560
(man)
Hey, look. It's him.

1589
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:28,840
There's Braddock!

1590
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,120
(man #2) Maybe this
is your day, Bulldog!

1591
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:37,600
Look, it's him!
It's Jimmy, look, right there!

1592
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,320
We're with you, Jimmy! You're
gonna beat him, Bulldog!

1593
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:48,720
(Alice) Well, look who's
here. Hi, Aunt Alice.

1594
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:50,240
Come on in.

1595
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:53,160
No radio, all right?

1596
01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:56,920
Yeah, sure.
All right. Be back soon.

1597
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:22,200
Hello, Mae.
I came to pray for Jim.

1598
01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:26,360
So did they.

1599
01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:28,640
Yeah.

1600
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:40,720
They all think
that Jim's fighting for them.

1601
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:05,560
[Joe whistling]

1602
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:28,840
[Sighing]

1603
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:41,720
Hey.

1604
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:45,640
Yeah?

1605
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:47,840
Who beat that
John Henry Lewis?

1606
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:53,360
That Braddock guy.
Correct.

1607
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:56,920
Who whupped that
Art Lasky punk?

1608
01:48:57,320 --> 01:48:59,560
James J. Braddock.
Correct again.

1609
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:01,840
Now, refresh me
on this one.

1610
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:05,160
Who was it took that Corn Griffin
and turned him inside out...

1611
01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:08,400
with no questions asked?
Who was that?

1612
01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:10,800
I used to think it was me...

1613
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:11,600
but now I'm kinda thinking
it was you.

1614
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:14,800
No, don't you
sell yourself short.

1615
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:18,280
At some stage, you think maybe
you're gonna do some taping here?

1616
01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:20,960
Why not?

1617
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:29,720
All right, let's see.
How's that?

1618
01:49:30,480 --> 01:49:31,480
[Knocking on door]

1619
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:32,720
What?

1620
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:53,680
Excuse me, ma'am.

1621
01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:04,880
You can't win
without me behind you.

1622
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:10,560
That's what I've been trying
to tell you.

1623
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:22,120
Maybe I understand some.

1624
01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:25,120
About having to fight.

1625
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:29,440
So you just remember
who you are.

1626
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:33,800
You're the
Bulldog of Bergen...

1627
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:35,520
and the pride of New Jersey.

1628
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:38,280
You're everybody's hope.

1629
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:41,680
And you're your kids' hero.

1630
01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:47,280
And you are
the champion of my heart...

1631
01:50:47,480 --> 01:50:49,160
James J. Braddock.

1632
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:01,280
You know,
you better get home.

1633
01:51:02,440 --> 01:51:04,920
You know, boxers hang around
places like this...

1634
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:07,920
and you don't want to get tangled
up with that kind of crowd.

1635
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:11,280
Nice girl like you.
Yeah, okay.

1636
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:14,760
I'll see you at home.

1637
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:22,560
Please, Jimmy.

1638
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:26,640
I'll see you at home?

1639
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:30,200
See you at home, baby.

1640
01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:52,960
(Bond on radio) From the ringside of the
Madison Square Garden Bowl. 

1641
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:54,520
Tonight, our coast-to-coast
hookup... 

1642
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:56,880
brings you the biggest
pugilistic event of the year. 

1643
01:51:56,960 --> 01:51:59,960
Max Baer versus the Cinderella Man,
Jimmy Braddock. 

1644
01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:01,880
[All cheering]

1645
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:03,200
And in a few moments... 

1646
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:05,440
the contestants for
tonight's championship bout... 

1647
01:52:05,480 --> 01:52:07,640
will be making their way
to the ring. 

1648
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:09,840
[Crowd chattering]

1649
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:22,720
[Crowd murmuring]

1650
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:30,520
God Almighty.

1651
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:40,800
(Bond) Jim Braddock's rise
from the soup lines... 

1652
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:44,200
to number one heavyweight contender
has truly been miraculous. 

1653
01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:48,400
No, never in all my years have I seen this arena
so quiet. 

1654
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:18,720
(man)
You can do it, Jimmy!

1655
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:21,000
[Crowd applauding]

1656
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:23,680
[Crowd cheering]

1657
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:29,360
James J. Braddock,
the Cinderella Man... 

1658
01:53:29,440 --> 01:53:31,640
who just a year ago
was standing in a bread line. 

1659
01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:33,880
Braddock's a tremendous
underdog with the bettors... 

1660
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:36,280
but you wouldn't know it from the reaction of
the crowd. 

1661
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:39,560
Madison Square Garden is on its feet and the noise
is deafening!

1662
01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:42,200
An astonishing crowd is
gathered here this evening. 

1663
01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:44,800
I saw people lining up to buy
tickets tonight who looked... 

1664
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:46,560
as if they were spending
their last dollar. 

1665
01:53:46,640 --> 01:53:49,240
But they're here now
and 35,000 strong!

1666
01:53:49,320 --> 01:53:50,600
Listen to them!

1667
01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:52,560
[Crowd screaming]

1668
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:12,800
(Braddock) We understand Max Baer
has left his dressing room. 

1669
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:13,360
There he is. 

1670
01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:16,400
Max Baer has the look and swagger of
a Hollywood star. 

1671
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:18,400
Tonight, though,
there'll be no play-acting... 

1672
01:54:18,120 --> 01:54:21,320
not with Jim Braddock in the ring.
This fight is for real. 

1673
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:24,400
The table's been set.
Let's get to the main course. 

1674
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:30,800
(referee) Gentlemen,
I gave you the rules

1675
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:31,120
in the dressing room.

1676
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:32,640
One minute to midnight,
Cinderella.

1677
01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:34,200
Yeah? Your clock's
about ticked out, asshole.

1678
01:54:34,280 --> 01:54:35,960
I'm here to enforce them.
I want clean breaks.

1679
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:37,640
Tell laughing boy here,
no backhanding.

1680
01:54:37,720 --> 01:54:39,760
I don't want any backhanding
and hitting on the breakaway.

1681
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:41,600
No low blows!
I'll take care of this, Joe.

1682
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:44,120
You understand? You tell this
bohunk no grabbing, no manhandling.

1683
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:46,120
Watch your goddamn language,
you nasty little shit.

1684
01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:47,560
Look at this! No low
blows means no low blows.

1685
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:49,280
You gonna let this little
prick talk to me like that?

1686
01:54:49,360 --> 01:54:51,480
No hitting on the
breaks. (Joe) It talks!

1687
01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:53,600
Holy mackerel, it talks!
Look at that!

1688
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:55,760
Keep your hands up at all
times to protect yourselves.

1689
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:57,880
Now, touch gloves
and come out fighting.

1690
01:54:57,960 --> 01:54:59,920
Good luck. Go to your corners.

1691
01:54:59,960 --> 01:55:02,680
I'm gonna kick his Mick balls
up to the roof of his mouth.

1692
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:05,200
That ought to be
a familiar taste for him, huh?

1693
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:08,960
Come on, Jimmy boy!

1694
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:14,400
(Joe) Yeah, boys, get some
pictures here! Come on!

1695
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,160
You can do this.
This guy is made for you.

1696
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:28,840
Have a picnic, all right?

1697
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:35,920
(Bond) There's the bell!
And the fight is on!

1698
01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:38,480
[Crowd cheering]

1699
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:44,600
The boys come out... 

1700
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:47,720
and immediately Braddock
shoots a left to Maxie's jaw!

1701
01:55:49,600 --> 01:55:52,480
That's it!
Take it right to him, Jimmy!

1702
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:55,400
Now, now.

1703
01:55:55,840 --> 01:55:58,640
Baer snaps Braddock's head
back with two right uppercuts. 

1704
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,800
It's always a question of which Max will show up
in the first round... 

1705
01:56:02,160 --> 01:56:03,880
the killer or the clown?

1706
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:12,960
Maxie doing well. 

1707
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:15,760
It looks like he's enjoying himself,
mugging for the crowd. 

1708
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:17,400
(Joe)
Take it into him!

1709
01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:20,960
A big flurry by Braddock!
A vicious right to the head!

1710
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:33,600
Take it easy, pal. I'll let
it go a couple of rounds.

1711
01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:36,560
Madcap Maxie is heavily favored to put
the long snore on Braddock... 

1712
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:37,640
in the first round. 

1713
01:56:37,720 --> 01:56:39,480
That big right hand of his
has dynamite in it... 

1714
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:41,560
especially when he traps
his man on the ropes. 

1715
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:44,160
He's gonna carry him
for a couple of rounds.

1716
01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:46,120
[Both grunting]

1717
01:56:48,120 --> 01:56:49,520
(referee)
Braddock! Break it up!

1718
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:51,320
[Bell rings]
Break it up, I said!

1719
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:54,360
Go on, Jimmy!

1720
01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:58,800
(Bond) Jim survived the round and
looked pretty good doing it. 

1721
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:00,600
Braddock will not be bullied.
Not tonight. 

1722
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:02,560
When he does this horseshit,
knock it off.

1723
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:04,800
He's trying to thumb you.
All right?

1724
01:57:04,160 --> 01:57:07,120
And then slip inside of there
and shorten up the punches.

1725
01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:09,680
All right? Shorten them up.
That's your turf!

1726
01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:11,520
(Joe)
Inside is yours!

1727
01:57:11,880 --> 01:57:12,960
(man #1)
Good job, Braddock!

1728
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:14,200
(man #2)
Come on, Braddock!

1729
01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:17,240
Well, no one expected Braddock
to go past the first round. 

1730
01:57:17,320 --> 01:57:18,920
Shorten them up.
Stay inside of him.

1731
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:20,920
The experts at ringside
were wrong again. 

1732
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:22,800
Shorten them up! (Bond)
There's the bell!

1733
01:57:22,880 --> 01:57:25,800
And here we are
in the second round. 

1734
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:26,960
(Joe)
That had some salt on it!

1735
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:29,760
Braddock lands a hard right
to the head. 

1736
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:32,440
Max swats him away
with cool contempt!

1737
01:57:32,880 --> 01:57:34,760
He appears to be
toying with Braddock. 

1738
01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:36,480
There's no other word for it. 

1739
01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:40,000
Max struts around the ring
without a care in the world. 

1740
01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:46,400
(Joe) Sharp, efficient,
tough, and short! Good.

1741
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:49,480
[Crowd screaming]

1742
01:57:51,120 --> 01:57:52,720
Knock that on out.

1743
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:56,120
(Bond on radio) And Max responds with
swinging rights and lefts. 

1744
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:58,160
All power punches from Maxie. 

1745
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:06,480
Break him!

1746
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:09,720
And Braddock punches
right to the head!

1747
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:16,800
Cover up!

1748
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,640
Is that the right spot, Jimmy?

1749
01:58:19,720 --> 01:58:21,400
[Bell rings] All right. Break it up!

1750
01:58:21,480 --> 01:58:23,360
Break it up, you two!
Stay clean!

1751
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:27,160
[Crowd whistling]

1752
01:58:28,160 --> 01:58:29,600
[Groaning]

1753
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:35,840
How are those ribs?
Okay. All right. Take it easy.

1754
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:38,360
(Jeanette) Good pace. Good pace,
Jim. Take it easy. Just breathe.

1755
01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:41,440
Deep breaths. Relax.
Good rhythm.

1756
01:58:41,520 --> 01:58:43,240
You're looking great
out there, Jimmy.

1757
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:44,760
Yeah.
You look great.

1758
01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:48,440
Hey, Jim?
If he goes for your body...

1759
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:50,760
drop the elbows on him.
Teach him a lesson.

1760
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:52,320
Break his goddamn hand.

1761
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:53,880
(Bond)
That round was tough to score. 

1762
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:56,120
Braddock landed several surprising
right hands. 

1763
01:58:56,200 --> 01:58:58,240
And those thunderous
body punches by the champ... 

1764
01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:01,400
should pay dividends
in the later rounds. 

1765
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:04,960
In the fifth,
Baer's smile is gone. 

1766
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:07,960
(Joe)
Yeah, that's it!

1767
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:09,560
Jimmy comes in
with a hard right... 

1768
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:12,000
then neatly slides off
to Baer's left. 

1769
01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:15,600
Avoiding the counterpunch,
Jimmy sticks a jab. 

1770
01:59:18,320 --> 01:59:21,680
And now the crowd is jeering and even laughing
at the champ. 

1771
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:23,640
And Maxie's none too pleased. 

1772
01:59:23,920 --> 01:59:25,120
(referee)
All right, break it.

1773
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:26,880
Break!

1774
01:59:27,480 --> 01:59:29,720
[Crowd booing] Baer backhands Braddock
across the face!

1775
01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:30,800
That'll cost Maxie. 

1776
01:59:30,880 --> 01:59:32,520
You lousy shegetz!

1777
01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:33,880
That's a warning, Max.

1778
01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:37,800
I'm sorry.

1779
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:40,800
How's that wife of yours?

1780
01:59:40,880 --> 01:59:42,400
(referee)
Break!

1781
01:59:46,240 --> 01:59:48,520
She talk about me?
Knock off the wrestling.

1782
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:49,680
All right. Break it up!

1783
01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:50,800
Quit fooling around, Max!

1784
01:59:54,280 --> 01:59:55,640
(Joe)
Low blow!

1785
01:59:55,720 --> 01:59:56,880
What was that?

1786
01:59:56,960 --> 01:59:59,720
Keep them up. Wake up,
you wet son of a bitch!

1787
02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:01,240
[Crowd booing]

1788
02:00:04,960 --> 02:00:08,800
(Bond) Max salutes the crowd.
He's one of a kind, folks. 

1789
02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:10,400
She say my name in her sleep?

1790
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:14,640
Baer took a chin-full of Braddock's head
in that clinch. 

1791
02:00:14,720 --> 02:00:16,600
That's it! Work his body!

1792
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:21,840
She miss me?

1793
02:00:21,920 --> 02:00:24,400
Baer grips Braddock's head
in a headlock. 

1794
02:00:24,120 --> 02:00:27,400
Jesus! Hey, Maxila you
gonna punch him or pork him?

1795
02:00:27,480 --> 02:00:28,960
That's your job, asshole.

1796
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:30,280
(Bond)
Jimmy fights his way free. 

1797
02:00:30,360 --> 02:00:31,960
(Baer) Hey, buddy...
Gets a shot in to the head. 

1798
02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:33,800
You kidding me?
Fantastic!

1799
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:36,800
You're gonna get hurt.

1800
02:00:36,840 --> 02:00:40,520
Braddock keeps punching. They hammer each other,
toe to toe. 

1801
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:43,120
Okay, break!
There's the bell!

1802
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:47,120
Keep your hands up
and your mouth shut, Maxie.

1803
02:00:47,200 --> 02:00:49,720
You watching the fight or
the cute guy in the front row?

1804
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:52,600
Take a seat, Maxie!
He's nothing, nobody.

1805
02:00:52,640 --> 02:00:54,400
The guy has got nothing!

1806
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:55,720
Jesus! Sit down!

1807
02:00:58,400 --> 02:00:59,520
Give me the sponge.

1808
02:00:59,840 --> 02:01:01,680
What are you doing?
Don't worry about it.

1809
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:05,360
Well, quit screwing around.
Hey! Relax.

1810
02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:07,800
Give me the goddamn water.

1811
02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:15,360
(timer)
Ten seconds!

1812
02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:28,240
(Joe)
Hit this guy. Cut him!

1813
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:31,360
[Bell rings] You cut him
down to size. Cut him!

1814
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:34,760
Oh, shit.

1815
02:01:35,320 --> 02:01:37,480
(Bond) In the seventh,
the boys come out again. 

1816
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:39,720
And Max is all business now. 

1817
02:01:41,880 --> 02:01:43,360
(Gary) Put him away, Max! Get him!

1818
02:01:43,440 --> 02:01:45,920
Attaboy, Maxie! Attaboy!

1819
02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:47,720
Slide it, Jimmy!

1820
02:01:49,280 --> 02:01:51,200
Braddock starting
to look his age here... 

1821
02:01:51,240 --> 02:01:53,400
as Baer pushes him
around the ring. 

1822
02:01:53,880 --> 02:01:55,440
Baer swings hard to the body. 

1823
02:01:55,520 --> 02:01:57,720
Braddock gets in a right
to the head. 

1824
02:01:58,800 --> 02:01:59,680
Murder him, Maxie!

1825
02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:10,960
Jesus Christ.

1826
02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:13,200
Baer with a tremendous shot
right there!

1827
02:02:13,280 --> 02:02:15,600
That was the hardest blow
in the fight!

1828
02:02:20,640 --> 02:02:21,680
Oh, Christ.

1829
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:23,800
Baer turns him again... 

1830
02:02:23,160 --> 02:02:25,920
with another right to the head.
Another right. And another. 

1831
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:28,320
[Crowd screaming]

1832
02:02:33,480 --> 02:02:35,200
Push him, push him!

1833
02:02:46,320 --> 02:02:48,520
(Bond) Braddock gets in
a vicious uppercut. 

1834
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:49,880
[Bell rings]

1835
02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:51,760
Baer keeps on punching!

1836
02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:53,200
[Bell ringing]
Jesus, Johnny!

1837
02:02:53,280 --> 02:02:55,960
Let him go! That's enough!
Break it up!

1838
02:02:56,480 --> 02:02:58,320
You're gonna go home
in butcher paper, pal!

1839
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:00,560
(referee) To your
corners! Butcher paper!

1840
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:02,560
[Crowd cheering]

1841
02:03:04,600 --> 02:03:06,800
All right.
Let me see that nose.

1842
02:03:07,320 --> 02:03:08,680
Get it out. (Angelo) You're okay.

1843
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:09,960
Let me see it.
Tilt your head back.

1844
02:03:10,400 --> 02:03:11,720
That's nothing.
That's a piece of cake.

1845
02:03:11,800 --> 02:03:13,760
Keep your head up.
Breathe through your mouth.

1846
02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:15,200
Breathe.

1847
02:03:15,280 --> 02:03:17,760
You got all your ugly friends
down from Jersey here.

1848
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:19,880
They're dressed up nice.
They've come to see you.

1849
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:23,320
You're putting them to sleep.
You're not turning him anymore.

1850
02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:26,120
Come on, pick it up.
Spit that out, boy-o.

1851
02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:30,200
Good boy.

1852
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:32,400
Come on.

1853
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:37,400
(Bond on radio) The boys go after each other
immediately. 

1854
02:03:37,960 --> 02:03:39,840
Braddock gets in a left to the body.
And a hard right... 

1855
02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:41,600
Mae.
... to Max's head. 

1856
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:43,440
Baer comes swinging across
with a long, swinging... 

1857
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:45,480
It's the cops.
... right to Braddock's head. 

1858
02:03:46,200 --> 02:03:47,760
Braddock stumbles away. 

1859
02:03:47,840 --> 02:03:49,680
Baer tries that right again!

1860
02:03:50,440 --> 02:03:53,320
They come together. Braddock swings a left
and a right. 

1861
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:54,480
Please, Ma.

1862
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:56,600
Max comes back with a left and
a right of his own. 

1863
02:03:56,680 --> 02:03:59,120
Braddock sticks out a left!
Baer still after him. 

1864
02:03:59,160 --> 02:04:00,240
Another left!

1865
02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:03,440
And a hard right by Braddock
that rocked Baer for a moment!

1866
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:05,360
Baer tries that right again. 

1867
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:07,680
[Both grunting]

1868
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:10,360
A hard right
to Braddock's head!

1869
02:04:10,440 --> 02:04:13,160
Braddock is hurt.
His legs are gone. 

1870
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:17,240
[Baer grunting]

1871
02:04:21,200 --> 02:04:23,600
Braddock sticks out a left!
Another left!

1872
02:04:28,560 --> 02:04:31,200
Neither man will back down!
It's a slugfest, folks!

1873
02:04:31,280 --> 02:04:33,000
And there's the bell!

1874
02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:36,840
James J. Braddock has exhibited
a lot of heart here... 

1875
02:04:36,920 --> 02:04:39,560
over 11 grueling rounds
with the champion. 

1876
02:04:39,600 --> 02:04:42,960
Nobody expected him to last more than a few innings
with Baer. 

1877
02:04:43,400 --> 02:04:45,920
Yet here he is.
And he's held his own. 

1878
02:04:46,480 --> 02:04:49,400
But now we head into the championship rounds,
folks. 

1879
02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:55,120
Hey, Jim, look at me.

1880
02:04:57,120 --> 02:05:00,280
I swear to God, boy,
win, lose or draw...

1881
02:05:00,880 --> 02:05:03,280
Thanks, Joey.
For all of it.

1882
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:07,960
You son of a bitch.
All right. Stop talking.

1883
02:05:08,400 --> 02:05:09,360
Get in there!

1884
02:05:10,320 --> 02:05:11,840
And bury him!

1885
02:05:11,920 --> 02:05:13,400
(Ancil)
Finish him off.

1886
02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:15,000
Come on, Jimmy!

1887
02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:16,640
[Crowd cheering]

1888
02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:23,160
(Bond) Here in the 12th,
James J. Braddock... 

1889
02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:26,000
is showing this crowd
what heart is all about. 

1890
02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:35,320
Jimmy seems to be
timing that left... 

1891
02:05:35,400 --> 02:05:37,680
and has slapped it away
several times. 

1892
02:05:41,800 --> 02:05:44,880
Keep moving, boy-o!
You stay with him!

1893
02:05:45,480 --> 02:05:46,800
Son of a bitch!

1894
02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:50,400
Braddock with a shoeshine.
Left, right!

1895
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:52,840
Am I seeing what I'm seeing?

1896
02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:55,400
Finish him, Jimmy. Finish him!

1897
02:05:55,120 --> 02:05:57,120
[Crowd chanting]
Braddock, Braddock!

1898
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:09,160
Maxie's glamour-boy smile
is now a bloody grimace. 

1899
02:06:10,560 --> 02:06:13,400
This crowd is desperately
hoping for a Braddock victory. 

1900
02:06:13,480 --> 02:06:16,640
But Mr. Baer might have something to say
about that. 

1901
02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:18,760
[Crowd applauding]

1902
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:21,360
Holy crap!

1903
02:06:27,640 --> 02:06:28,840
(referee)
Low blow!

1904
02:06:28,920 --> 02:06:31,120
[Bell rings] That last low blow
will cost you the round, Max.

1905
02:06:31,200 --> 02:06:32,960
Jesus!
It’ll cost you the round.

1906
02:06:34,760 --> 02:06:36,840
Why don't you just kick him
in the balls, huh?

1907
02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:37,880
Joe, back in your corner!

1908
02:06:37,960 --> 02:06:40,800
What are you afraid of,
you son of a bitch?

1909
02:06:40,160 --> 02:06:41,520
(referee)
Get back to your corner!

1910
02:06:41,640 --> 02:06:42,920
[Screaming]

1911
02:06:44,240 --> 02:06:45,720
Come on, Ref!

1912
02:06:47,200 --> 02:06:50,480
(Bond on radio) McAvoy is on the verge of
losing control of this fight. 

1913
02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:56,960
(man) Knock him on the ground, Bulldog!

1914
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:01,400
Last round.
That's right! Next champ!

1915
02:07:01,440 --> 02:07:03,320
You better worry about Baer's
corner in this next round.

1916
02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:04,600
You know what I mean.

1917
02:07:04,680 --> 02:07:07,360
You won this one.
It's a cinch. It is yours.

1918
02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:11,600
But I want you to play it
cagey now. All right?

1919
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:13,680
I know you don't like
laying back...

1920
02:07:13,720 --> 02:07:15,880
but I want you to stay away
from his right...

1921
02:07:15,960 --> 02:07:18,400
do you understand me?
Stay away.

1922
02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:19,720
Right hand.

1923
02:07:19,960 --> 02:07:23,160
You're behind.
Are you listening to me?

1924
02:07:23,200 --> 02:07:26,400
You want to lose the championship
to this goddamn nobody?

1925
02:07:26,680 --> 02:07:28,400
Hey. (man) Come on, Jimmy!

1926
02:07:28,120 --> 02:07:29,440
This is your night.

1927
02:07:31,880 --> 02:07:33,880
(Joe) Stay away. Put him down!

1928
02:07:35,880 --> 02:07:38,160
Use your right hand.
Right hand.

1929
02:07:40,680 --> 02:07:42,400
[Men screaming]

1930
02:07:43,720 --> 02:07:46,680
(timer) Ten seconds!
Come on now. Finish him.

1931
02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:53,560
(Joe) It's the last round,
Jimmy. There ain't no more.

1932
02:07:54,200 --> 02:07:58,000
You play this bastard smart
and they can't take it from you!

1933
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:09,240
One more round to go, folks. 

1934
02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:11,400
McAvoy stands
at center ring... 

1935
02:08:11,120 --> 02:08:13,320
waiting for the fighters
to join him. 

1936
02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:36,200
Touch gloves.

1937
02:08:38,480 --> 02:08:40,480
(Bond) The boys touch gloves
at center ring. 

1938
02:08:41,440 --> 02:08:42,760
And now they're right
back at it. 

1939
02:08:42,840 --> 02:08:44,800
Oh, no, Jimmy!

1940
02:08:46,600 --> 02:08:47,960
Leave him alone!

1941
02:08:49,560 --> 02:08:51,280
Stay away from him!

1942
02:08:51,720 --> 02:08:53,240
That ain't laying back!

1943
02:08:53,320 --> 02:08:55,200
Braddock's corner
is yelling at Braddock... 

1944
02:08:55,280 --> 02:08:56,520
to stay away from Baer. 

1945
02:08:56,600 --> 02:08:58,400
Because Baer is looking
for the knockout. 

1946
02:08:58,480 --> 02:09:00,360
Stay off him, Jim. Come on!

1947
02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:05,000
Right hand, Max. Yes!

1948
02:09:06,920 --> 02:09:09,240
[Both grunting]

1949
02:09:12,840 --> 02:09:14,280
What is he, stupid?

1950
02:09:17,520 --> 02:09:19,440
Step away!

1951
02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:22,160
Braddock trying to survive
this brutal onslaught!

1952
02:09:22,240 --> 02:09:23,920
(Joe)
Stay off him!

1953
02:09:24,840 --> 02:09:26,760
Don't let him touch you!

1954
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:28,880
Hey, looking good, Maxie!

1955
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:36,200
Watch the uppercut! Just
stay the hell away from him!

1956
02:09:36,280 --> 02:09:38,920
(Bond on radio) Baer cutting loose
with thunderous shots. 

1957
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:40,200
A left to the body. 

1958
02:09:40,280 --> 02:09:41,840
Baer again with a right!

1959
02:09:41,920 --> 02:09:45,400
Braddock covering up,
trying to hang on. 

1960
02:09:45,520 --> 02:09:46,880
Baer looking for the knockout. 

1961
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:49,640
He doesn't want this one
to go to the cards, folks. 

1962
02:09:49,720 --> 02:09:52,000
They pound each other
with lefts and rights. 

1963
02:09:52,800 --> 02:09:54,160
Braddock blocking
with his gloves and elbows. 

1964
02:09:54,240 --> 02:09:56,840

to Maxie's jaw!

with a big right!

[Crowd groans]

1968
02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:19,000
Braddock is back on the ropes.

[Crowd screaming]

1970
02:11:05,480 --> 02:11:07,800
Braddock lands
a crushing right. 

1971

Maxie desperately wants
to keep the crown... 

1972
02:11:10,960 --> 02:11:12,400
from slipping away. 

1973
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:17,760
Jesus Christ.

1974
02:11:23,440 --> 02:11:24,800
Stay with him!

1975
02:11:29,600 --> 02:11:31,560

Baer is trying wildly
for the knockout!

1978
02:11:44,400 --> 02:11:45,480
But Jimmy is still standing... 

1979
02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:48,320
and he's not only standing,
he's moving forward. 

1980
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:03,960
This is the finish.
Both boys are tired. 

1981
02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:07,640
This is not boxing, folks.
This is a walloping ballet. 

1982
02:12:12,320 --> 02:12:13,640
Ten seconds!

1983
02:12:13,720 --> 02:12:15,680

What a fight! Unbelievable!

Braddock came
into this fight... 

1990
02:12:52,800 --> 02:12:53,840
the biggest underdog...
Come on, sweetheart.

1991
02:12:53,920 --> 02:12:55,320
... in pugilistic history.
You did it!

1992
02:12:55,360 --> 02:12:57,720
For 15 rounds he gave it everything
he had... 

1993
02:12:57,800 --> 02:13:00,120
against the younger,
stronger champion.

Hey, McAvoy!

02:13:24,960 --> 02:13:26,880
What?
Help me out here. Help me out.

2000
02:13:26,960 --> 02:13:29,760
How did you score the fight?
Nine-five, one even.

2001
02:13:30,360 --> 02:13:31,320
Which way?

2002
02:13:31,400 --> 02:13:33,160
You'll have to read it
in the papers, Sporty.

2003
02:13:33,240 --> 02:13:34,440
Oh, come on!

2004
02:13:37,440 --> 02:13:39,280
What the hell is this crap?

2005
02:13:42,560 --> 02:13:45,120
I'll tell you this much, they take
this long to make a decision...

2006
02:13:45,200 --> 02:13:47,520
they're gonna decide
to screw somebody.

2007
02:13:48,480 --> 02:13:49,880
(man)
Make a decision.

2008
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:52,400
They're gonna rob
this poor bastard.

2009
02:13:52,120 --> 02:13:54,280

they clearly believe... 

2014

to be the winner of
this fight. 

2015
02:14:16,840 --> 02:14:20,400

scored it.
