Here we are sports fans,

the fight of all fights.

Silas "Mad Dog" Gooding

and "Big" Jeff McGill...

for the championship belt

that could take one of them to the top.

Big Jeff is getting the best

of this fight, but,

Silas doesn't look like

he's fighting back.

It's not looking

really good right about now.

I think we know who's going

to win '(his one.

Come on.

I don't know.

Silas has a great track record.

Well, they both

have great track records, man.

Seven and both of them,

not one of them

have ever lost a fight.

But tonight, I think

we know who's going to win.

And the winner is...

- Good morning, Mom.

- Good morning, babe.

- Morning, son.

- Morning, Dad.

You... ready for your new life?

I'm not going off to war,

Dad, it's just my new place.

Yeah, but it's

a big step to independence.

I mean, you've graduated.

You've worked hard for three

years, all those odd jobs.

You've saved up a lot of money And now you will

have your own, and I'm very excited for you.

And I'm very proud of you.

the tournament tonight?

- You are going, right?

It's my last fight, and you said

you were going to be there.

Tonight's win could really

help out around here.

That win is no guarantee and we

can take care of ourselves.
