Come on.

I've learned from the best.

Jerry? Jesus.

I mean, you refuse to get

a contractor's license,

but, what, you'll go be a punching bag

for a few extra bucks?

Ozzie and I quit today.

Well, Matt's an a-hole.

I take on two extra shifts,

and you quit your job?

I'm thinking about getting back

into competitive boxing.

What a great idea.

Come on, short stack,

it's my birthday.

Yeah, that's right, Jerry.

Another year has come and gone,

and you've done nothing.

You just quit your job!

You get another speeding ticket,

and I find a f***ing maxi pad

in the coffee maker.

All right?

This isn't working, Jerry.

I knocked this guy out

in the first round.

Hey, Jerry the best boxer I know, man.

Yeah, I'm the only boxer you know,

but thanks, buddy.

Hey, it's true.

Alexis Arguello. Nicaragua!

Rosendo lvarez. Nicaragua.

Ricardo Mayorga. Nicaragua!

Nicaragua numero uno.

Nicaragua!

You guys sure seem

to love Nicaragua

except for the part

where you risked your lives

not to live there anymore.

All right, but one round,

then you're going to bed.

- Oh!

- Oh!

Nicaragua!

Hey, Jerry, it's time to bed, man.

Big day tomorrow.

Good night, Jerry.

Good night, Oz.

Jerry! Jerry!

Wake up, man!

You're missing the tryout, man.

I'm gonna do

the Olympics next time.

Better watch out for me, Coach.

I got mad skills.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Bow!

You got the sound effects down.

Are you his legal guardian?

No. No, I'm a boxer.

This ain't no open call.

You have to be invited.

Eddie invited me himself.

Well, I guess he's getting desperate.

Who here knows how many gold medals

the United States boxing team has won

in the last two Olympics combined?

One!

That's right. Uno!

Cuba has won nine.

Kazakhstan has won three.

I don't even know where that is.

France has won

as many gold medals

as the United States

in the last two Olympics.

France, for Christ's sake!

Today, we're going to find out

if anyone here

might have what it takes

to change that in 2008.

Let's get started!

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

You look like sh*t.

I didn't get a ton of sleep last night.

Well, maybe you want

to take a rain check, huh?

No, no.

No, I'm... I'm good.

All right, put that on...

unless you think that eyebrow

could protect your whole head.

Good stuff.

Come on!

And time!

All right, I think that's enough, huh?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

I've never felt better in my life.

All right, go ahead.

Ooh!

Oh!

Victor Padilla.

Did you fight Golden Gloves?

I fought Golden Gloves,

a while back.

You know, I was watching you.

You look good,

but I noticed you throw the jab,

you drop your right just a little bit,

which is fine against an orthodox guy,
