The Challenger Page #3
you're not trying this.
-But, ma, I...
-Promise me, honey.
Look, I am proud that
you're doing good on your job.
See, that's how you help.
Another week,
I'll have enough money,
and we can get...
Get the hell out of here.
-Regina, please.
-What?
It's only gonna be a few days.
And whose couch
were you sleeping on
before you moved into
this place?
-Couch?
-That's right.
That thing was
plywood with a cushion.
-Oh, so now you're...
-That thing ain't no couch...
That marks the champ's
and still
renders him undefeated.
It begs the question,
is there
a challenger out there
that can beat him?
Damien Wright sure thought so,
but as we saw last night,
Wright was proven wrong.
When are you gonna find me
a real challenger, vin?
Keep embarrassing them
like that
and no one will fight you.
I can't change
the way I fight,
you know that.
Maybe you can find
someone who can.
One, two!
One, two! One, two!
One, two! Come on!
Why you holding back?
-One, two!
-I'm not!
One, two! One, two!
You're hitting like a girl.
One, two! One, two!
One, two! Stop holding back.
-One, two!
-I'm not!
So you do have a pulse.
I'm doing my best, all right?
No.
-What do you want from me?
-Your best.
You want to tell me
what's going on?
What are you afraid of, huh?
What are you afraid of?
What the hell am I doing
wasting my time with you?
You think
i came back to boxing
to get embarrassed again?
Look, my mom doesn't know
I'm here, all right?
-She doesn't want me fighting.
-Oh.
Mama's boy.
How long you gonna
keep that up?
You want to keep living
from job-to-job, fine.
But I've seen too many boxers
waste their talent,
waste their lives,
because they were afraid.
Afraid of losing. But mostly,
afraid of winning.
You can be great
and you're already quitting.
If you don't
stand up and fight
for who you are now,
right now,
you never will.
I better not see you
in here tomorrow.
I'm here, all right?
I'm ready.
I'm ready!
Really?
Show me.
One, two! One, two!
One, two! One, two!
One, two! Come on!
One, two! Harder!
One, two! One, two!
Harder! Harder, come on!
Keep moving.
You can't stop.
Ain't no days off.
I told you that.
You wanna be the champ,
that's what you got to do.
Harder! Harder, come on!
Let's go!
One, two! One, two!
One, two! One, two! One, two!
One, two! Come on!
One, two! Harder!
Where do you wanna be?
Where do you wanna be?
Come on.
That's how you got to work.
Got to keep working.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's how you do it.
That's what you need.
Don't be out-worked.
Maybe outclassed,
maybe out-techniqued,
but don't be out-worked.
