I'm not supposed to talk

about that legal stuff.

My people don't want me

commenting on that.

Boxing experts tend to agree...

that even as little

as two years in a prison...

without proper training

could mean the end...

for a boxer your age.

Now, you're regarded...

as one of the greatest

offensive fighters...

in the history of the sport...

an attacker

like Dempsey, Joe Louis...

Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier,

Just exactly how

damaging to your skills...

is this prison stint

likely to be?

No damage.

I'll stay in shape, work out...

watch what I eat. I'll be fine.

But when an athlete

is removed from competition-

That's where you're making

one big mistake right off.

I'm not an athlete.

I'm a gladiator.

How do you define that?

People play baseball.

Nobody plays boxing.

Iceman, last week after

you were convicted...

boxing's various

so-called governing bodies...

began stripping you of

your title belts...

stripping you-

Who they think they kidding?

Everybody knows I'm the champ.

And I'm gonna be the champ

till I quit.

This fight with

Manfredy is meant to be...

just a tune-up for

George "The Iceman" Chambers...

hopefully leading

to the unification bout...

with Montel Briscoe...

undefeated holder

of the WBC crown,

The two biggest names in boxing

on a collision course...

sometime next year...

assuming the Iceman gets by

the South American challenger,

It's round 1 and one to go,

and it's all Iceman!

He's stalking Manfredy,

chasing the big South American,

Iceman with a right,

another right,

Another right

and a left to the body!

Oh, and a right-hand uppercut,

That staggered Manfredy!

Iceman stalking him,

He knows he's got him hurt,

Oh, body shots!

Right, left to the body!

Left hook and he's down!

He's down! He's down!

That's why they call him

the Iceman!

Well, Carlos Manfredy...

gets a one-way ticket

back to Brazil!

George "Iceman" Chambers...

remains undefeated

heavyweight champion!

And the big man on the block!

Are you fighting Montel next?

Just another sucker who's

gonna get his ass whipped.

If the money's right,

bring on Montel.

Nobody's running,

nobody's ducking.

Nobody-I mean, nobody-

can stand up to what I got.

Does that include Montel?

Oh, yeah, that damn sure

includes Montel.

Mr. Lewis!

Estimates are up

to 300 million dollars...

for the pay-per-view

gate alone.

Any comment on that?

Let's make the deal first.

But my first guess is

you're a few million short.

And, Iceman,

it's nine months till summer.

What's next for you?

Well, first of all,

I'm gonna go to L.A...

you know, see some friends...

then I'm gonna do

a little partying.

Hey, hey... that's it.
