It's all in your mind.

I hope so.

Hoping never done nothing.

It's wanting to do it.

You got to want to win

so bad you can taste it.

If you want to win bad enough, you win.

No way in hell this dude will beat me.

He's too old. I'm too fast.

I'm gonna be all over him.

I'm gonna kick his ass so bad,

every time he eats food tomorrow...

he'll think of me.

He's gonna know he's been in a fight,

'cause I'll hit him with everything.

I'm not just gonna beat that mother,

I'm gonna kill him.

- You know what makes a good fighter?

- What?

Believing in yourself, the will to win.

You want to kick ass, you kick ass.

- You're right.

- You don't want to kick ass.

You want to get

your own ass whupped.

I want to kick ass.

Don't worry.

You gotta want to kick ass so bad there

ain't no manager or pill that can do it.

- I want to kick ass as bad as you do.

- Then go out there and kick ass!

- All right!

- First bout, Ernie Munger.

We got to go now.

Hey, did you get the towels?

- I didn't get to warm up.

- You're okay. You're ready.

- Just stay loose. Where's the bucket?

- In my hand.

- Where's the bottle.

- In the bucket.

- Is there water in it?

- I wouldn't bring an empty bottle.

I just don't want my kid out there

without any water.

I told you I got the water.

Take it easy.

Let's go.

This is the first bout of the night.

Introducing first, in the blue corner...

Irish Ernie Munger.

I'm not Irish.

Move, move, move!

Jab, jab! Jab!

Good fight.

Tilt your head back.

Breathe through your mouth.

- Sure we was butting. He can't punch.

I'm all right.

Next bout, Henry Reed.
