The Set-Up Page #2

I can't!

Well, that's the way it is!

If you're a fighter, you gotta fight!

Here's your ticket!

You can do what you want!

Get your Knockout here,

all the fight news and pictures!

Get your Knockout here!

- Hiya, Stoker!

- Hiya, Bat!

- Nearly a sellout!

- Good!

- Well, luck, Stoke!

- Yeah!

Get your Knockout here!

- Hiya, Thompson!

- Hi, Sam!

This Moore is murder!

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

Keep it up! Come on! Kill him!

Moore's got him on the ropes!

He's working on his middle!

Oh, another in the gut!

- The ref's gonna stop it!

- Let them fight!

- No, wait! He's gonna let them go!

- Good! Good!

That makes it 3 and 2, folks.

And the Sox have two on and two away.

It's still anyone's ballgame.

Come on! Come on!

Hit him! Throw that right!

Hey, Stoker!

- Where you been?

- Just got out of the kip! Hi, Tiny!

- How you feel?

- In the pink!

- You do?

- Wanna know? I'll take that kid tonight!

- I can feel it!

- Oh, take it easy, Stoke! Nelson's strong!

Don't slug with him!

Stay the distance!

Stay the distance?

I'm gonna take him!

- Sure, Stoke!

- I get a semi if I win, don't I?

Semi, nothing! I'll get you

a star bout, 25 percent!

Now, go on in, Stoke!

I'll see you later upstairs!

Look, look! Take it easy,

will you, Stoke?

- Hiya, Stoker!

- Hiya!

Hold still!

- Hiya, Stoke!

- Hiya!

- Mickey, better get the gloves on that kid!

- Yeah, yeah! Come on, kid, let's go!

Plenty of time, Stoker!

You're after the main event!

Yeah, I know!

- How come?

- The radio!

They got to go with the main early!

Turn your hand over!

- You sure this is tight enough?

- I wound bandages before you was born!

- Quit worrying!

- Who's worrying? I feel super!

- You said he was tough!

- I thought he was!

He laid down when I clipped him!

He was a sucker for a left!

Everybody's a sucker for something!

I knew I had him the first time

I hit him in the gut!

His belly was soft, like mush!

I kept hammering the same spot!

And every time my mitt sinks

deeper and deeper!

You should've heard him grunt the last time!

I thought I went right through him, like jelly!

Shanley, you're on!

- What's the matter with him?

- Got me!

First pro fight!

- I'll be right back!

- Okay, but make it snappy!

- Come on, come on! Let's have that Shanley!

- Okay!

Hurry it up in there!

You're holding up the show!

Don't let it worry you, kid!

It happens to everybody first time!

Don't it, Stoker?

Sure, sure! Done it myself!

- Okay, kid, hurry it up!

- Good luck!

Nineteen hundred and

twenty-eight!

Trenton!

Yeah, Trenton, New Jersey!

That was 20 years ago!

Okay, Tony, let's fix up the eyes!

That's it, Gunboat!
