1
00:00:10,969 --> 00:00:12,280
You got to fight back, baby.
2
00:00:12,304 --> 00:00:14,115
Fight back!
3
00:00:14,139 --> 00:00:16,034
I know, he's a bum,
champ. Let's go get him.
4
00:00:16,058 --> 00:00:18,077
Let's go get him, champ,
right now.
5
00:00:18,101 --> 00:00:19,412
We got to have it right now.
6
00:00:19,436 --> 00:00:21,647
And fight!
7
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:29,797
No, no, no.
Fuck that shit.
8
00:00:29,821 --> 00:00:32,532
We're not gonna start here.
9
00:00:36,787 --> 00:00:39,057
Listen, there's a lot of
fucked-up shit we'll get to.
10
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:43,603
But right now...
11
00:00:43,627 --> 00:00:45,754
we've got a show to do.
12
00:00:58,558 --> 00:01:00,119
Listen, listen, listen.
13
00:01:00,143 --> 00:01:02,705
So this is interesting.
14
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:04,415
So I was in prison, right?
15
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:07,001
I was on the phone talking
to my car dealer, like you do,
16
00:01:07,025 --> 00:01:09,212
and he's discussing how he's
gonna get him some horses.
17
00:01:09,236 --> 00:01:10,755
I say, "Horses?
You can get horses?"
18
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:13,341
I mean, I'm from Brooklyn,
you know, I didn't know.
19
00:01:13,365 --> 00:01:15,426
He's like, "Yeah, man,
I can get you anything.
20
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:17,703
I can get cougars,
lions, tigers."
21
00:01:19,329 --> 00:01:21,349
That's a picture
of me and my tiger.
22
00:01:24,459 --> 00:01:25,937
It's crazy.
23
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:27,855
That's how you know you're not
in Brownsville anymore.
24
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:31,508
That's when I was,
you know, insane.
25
00:01:33,635 --> 00:01:35,196
I'm not gonna lie
about anything in this show.
26
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:36,572
I'm gonna tell you guys
everything.
27
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:39,576
I'm gonna be completely honest
with you guys, you know.
28
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,412
Sometimes I think
of myself back then.
29
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:44,872
I took all those trips
to the psych ward and stuff.
30
00:01:44,896 --> 00:01:46,916
What was wrong with me
back then?
31
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:48,459
I was really disturbed
back then.
32
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:50,753
I was a really strange kid
back then.
33
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:52,130
You know, who am I?
34
00:01:52,154 --> 00:01:53,548
Then I come out here.
35
00:01:53,572 --> 00:01:56,050
I'm who you guys want to see.
36
00:01:57,784 --> 00:01:59,661
Who am I?
37
00:02:03,665 --> 00:02:06,894
I'm the most brutal,
the most vicious,
38
00:02:06,918 --> 00:02:08,813
ruthless champion
that's ever been.
39
00:02:08,837 --> 00:02:11,149
There's no one like me.
There's no one can match me.
40
00:02:11,173 --> 00:02:13,359
My style is impetuous.
My defense is impregnable.
41
00:02:13,383 --> 00:02:15,361
I'm just ferocious.
I want your heart.
42
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:18,180
I want to eat your children.
Praise be to Allah!
43
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:28,607
Is that who I am?
44
00:02:32,235 --> 00:02:33,612
Yeah.
45
00:02:35,364 --> 00:02:37,800
No.
46
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,094
Well, I'm just scratching
the surface, man.
47
00:02:40,118 --> 00:02:42,597
I'm Iron Mike.
48
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:51,356
You mess with my bro,
you mess with me, ugly.
49
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:53,107
Go tell your friends.
50
00:02:58,678 --> 00:03:00,698
You a worthless, weak, crybaby
51
00:03:00,722 --> 00:03:02,867
piece of shit,
Michael Gerard Tyson.
52
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:05,703
You always gonna be that fat
fuck that everybody fucks with.
53
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:07,121
Why?
54
00:03:07,145 --> 00:03:09,040
- Unless you fight back.
- I don't want to fight.
55
00:03:09,064 --> 00:03:11,292
You fight, or you die,
so what you gonna do about it?
56
00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:13,294
Run?
57
00:03:13,318 --> 00:03:14,921
- Shit, Mike.
- Where?
58
00:03:14,945 --> 00:03:18,049
Where you gonna run to?
Ain't nowhere to run.
59
00:03:18,073 --> 00:03:20,051
I grew up
in Brownsville, New York.
60
00:03:20,075 --> 00:03:21,552
Back in 1971,
61
00:03:21,576 --> 00:03:23,971
they had the highest
murder rate in the country.
62
00:03:23,995 --> 00:03:25,848
There was hookers
and drugs and murders
63
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:27,809
on every street corner.
64
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,478
Now, you put a little fat fuck
like me in that environment,
65
00:03:30,502 --> 00:03:32,897
I get up in the morning,
get my ass whupped.
66
00:03:32,921 --> 00:03:35,525
I go to school,
get my ass whupped.
67
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:39,028
I'd go home from school,
and I get my ass whupped.
68
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:41,406
That's all I knew.
I'm not gonna lie.
69
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:43,616
- A quarter?
- Cheap-ass pussy.
70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,892
I had some issues.
71
00:03:47,853 --> 00:03:50,164
Used to talk to myself out loud.
72
00:03:50,188 --> 00:03:52,667
I was just a weird little kid.
73
00:03:52,691 --> 00:03:55,902
But my mom, she took me
to see some doctor.
74
00:03:57,737 --> 00:04:01,759
He's retarded, your son.
75
00:04:01,783 --> 00:04:05,370
So you'll need
to be prepared for that.
76
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:12,169
No. You sure?
77
00:04:15,755 --> 00:04:17,608
I saw him kill
any dream she had for me
78
00:04:17,632 --> 00:04:20,278
in that one moment.
79
00:04:20,302 --> 00:04:22,822
I never saw her
believe in me after that.
80
00:04:25,015 --> 00:04:28,411
So I was a retarded
fat fuck with a lisp.
81
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:30,455
So, yeah, I took a beating.
82
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:36,294
But the way I saw it, everyone
took a beating at some point.
83
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:46,304
That was my new gold tooth,
motherfucker.
84
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:51,142
Mike, help me in the kitchen.
85
00:04:51,166 --> 00:04:53,811
Denise, Rodney, under the quilt.
86
00:04:53,835 --> 00:04:55,313
Now!
87
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:56,588
Time for bed.
88
00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:04,739
I want you
to stay out of the way, Mike.
89
00:05:04,763 --> 00:05:06,157
Hmm?
90
00:05:06,181 --> 00:05:08,618
We ain't got nowhere else to go.
91
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:10,977
But that don't mean we got
to take his shit, right?
92
00:05:16,107 --> 00:05:17,752
You want some soup, Eddie?
93
00:05:17,776 --> 00:05:20,880
- Yeah, baby. Yeah.
- Thank you.
94
00:05:20,904 --> 00:05:22,840
Oh, now, this move's
gonna surprise you, Mike.
95
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:25,426
Mike, come here. Come here.
Now watch.
96
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:26,928
When he does this right here?
97
00:05:26,952 --> 00:05:28,012
Watch this.
98
00:05:28,036 --> 00:05:30,556
Now, when he gets up
on that rope...
99
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:34,310
They used to beat
the hell out of each other,
100
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:35,561
then have sex.
101
00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:36,771
That was normal to me.
102
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:38,105
I think they loved each other.
103
00:05:38,129 --> 00:05:40,942
Probably when they weren't
stabbing each other.
104
00:05:42,968 --> 00:05:46,864
Before Brownsville,
she lived a nicer kind of life.
105
00:05:46,888 --> 00:05:49,826
She'd been a nurse, a dietitian,
106
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:51,410
was in college
studying to be a teacher
107
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:54,163
before she met the man
who was probably my dad.
108
00:05:55,981 --> 00:05:59,585
She always had
terrible taste in men.
109
00:05:59,609 --> 00:06:01,212
The last one took all our money,
110
00:06:01,236 --> 00:06:03,381
and we were put out
on the street.
111
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,302
Now, there are
three types of poor.
112
00:06:08,326 --> 00:06:10,972
There's poor,
there's dirt poor...
113
00:06:10,996 --> 00:06:14,058
And there's fucked-up poor.
114
00:06:14,082 --> 00:06:16,394
When a Black single mom
with three kids
115
00:06:16,418 --> 00:06:19,146
falls into fucked-up poor,
there's no way out.
116
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:20,773
And she knew it.
117
00:06:20,797 --> 00:06:23,734
We lost our whole community.
118
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:26,612
It was a life sentence.
119
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:29,866
We moved from one
abandoned building to another.
120
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:32,660
Every time we moved,
it got worse.
121
00:06:32,684 --> 00:06:34,912
Any dreams she had died.
122
00:06:34,936 --> 00:06:37,665
She did things she had to do.
123
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:39,667
That shit would fuck any kid up.
124
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:44,630
I stopped going to school
because of the bullying.
125
00:06:44,654 --> 00:06:45,840
I was in second grade,
126
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:47,633
and that was the end
of my education.
127
00:06:47,657 --> 00:06:49,969
I'd show up to the school
with my sister and leave.
128
00:06:49,993 --> 00:06:52,305
I'd show up again for lunch,
and then I'd leave.
129
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:53,973
- You got any money?
- No.
130
00:06:53,997 --> 00:06:55,099
Anything we find, we keep.
131
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:57,059
Man, he's trying
to steal our birds.
132
00:06:57,083 --> 00:06:58,185
You got birds?
133
00:06:58,209 --> 00:07:00,021
We got lots of birds. Shit.
134
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:02,690
Looks hungry.
135
00:07:02,714 --> 00:07:05,776
I never saw birds
like that up close.
136
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,403
Those birds...
137
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:10,656
They were the only things
I loved that loved me back.
138
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,701
They could fly anywhere, but
they'd always came back home.
139
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:15,453
I got to know each one of them.
140
00:07:15,477 --> 00:07:16,871
I learned to love them.
141
00:07:16,895 --> 00:07:18,372
Hey, shorty.
142
00:07:18,396 --> 00:07:21,000
Go downstairs to the pet store
and get us some birdseed.
143
00:07:21,024 --> 00:07:24,003
I had names for each
one of those 30 pigeons.
144
00:07:24,027 --> 00:07:25,671
The guys still picked on me.
145
00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:28,341
- Jesus, shorty.
- You a stinky motherfucker.
146
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:30,343
Don't you know
how to wash yourself?
147
00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:32,261
But I didn't give a shit.
148
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:34,180
I was happy...
149
00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:37,099
until Gary Flowers fucked
with my pigeon, Georgie.
150
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:39,393
That's the day
I became a fighter.
151
00:07:39,417 --> 00:07:41,395
And that's the fucking truth.
152
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:43,481
Come on, man,
give me my bird back.
153
00:07:43,505 --> 00:07:44,815
What bird?
154
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,484
Please, man.
155
00:07:46,508 --> 00:07:48,069
What are you gonna do about it?
156
00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:52,907
What the fuck are you gonna do
about it, Mike?
157
00:07:52,931 --> 00:07:55,368
Tell me,
why should I give him to you?
158
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:58,037
'Cause by the looks of it,
he's... he's mine.
159
00:07:58,061 --> 00:07:59,622
Maybe...
160
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:01,749
Maybe I'll eat
this fucking bird.
161
00:08:01,773 --> 00:08:03,334
Yeah!
162
00:08:03,358 --> 00:08:05,586
I-I bet he tastes like chicken.
163
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:07,505
Come on, what do you want?
164
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:09,882
Here, I'm sorry.
165
00:08:33,096 --> 00:08:36,117
Everything
Tyson does is intimidating.
166
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:39,912
He doesn't wear a robe.
He's worked up a full sweat.
167
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:42,665
He's got a scornful look
on his face that says,
168
00:08:42,689 --> 00:08:44,917
"Let's get this going.
Let's get it over with."
169
00:08:49,446 --> 00:08:51,757
The heavyweight
champion of the world
170
00:08:51,781 --> 00:08:53,551
comes into the ring.
171
00:08:53,575 --> 00:08:56,012
This is why we are all here.
172
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:03,811
It's Tyson all
the way here in round one.
173
00:09:06,963 --> 00:09:10,943
Vicious shot
to the body. Down he goes!
174
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:18,159
That was a body
shot that brought him down.
175
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:21,162
Five. Good? Let's go.
176
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:25,124
Here comes Spinks again.
177
00:09:35,784 --> 00:09:37,052
Down he goes!
178
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:38,596
I don't think he'll get up
from this.
179
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:41,223
Spinks is laying flat
on his back.
180
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:45,561
Six, seven, eight, nine.
181
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:48,230
It's all over.
Mike Tyson has won it...
182
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:50,441
A dramatic first-round knockout.
183
00:09:50,465 --> 00:09:51,984
And now the question is,
184
00:09:52,008 --> 00:09:55,821
who in the world has
any chance against this man?
185
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:58,139
That's when things
started to change.
186
00:10:02,811 --> 00:10:04,663
Barkim introduced me
to these guys.
187
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:06,832
We'd steal anything
we can get our hands on...
188
00:10:06,856 --> 00:10:08,626
Money, clothes, jewelry.
189
00:10:08,650 --> 00:10:10,252
I chose them over family.
190
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:12,838
My mom fell into a system
rigged to make us powerless.
191
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:15,174
With these guys, I had power.
192
00:10:15,198 --> 00:10:17,802
I was 8. They were maybe 12.
193
00:10:17,826 --> 00:10:20,262
We called ourselves
the Rutland Road Crew.
194
00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:21,722
We only went to school
for lunch.
195
00:10:21,746 --> 00:10:23,265
It didn't even have
to be our school.
196
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:25,643
We were just poor Black kids
no one cared about.
197
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:35,945
Hey!
Give me that purse back!
198
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:38,155
By the time I was ten,
this is what I knew.
199
00:10:46,688 --> 00:10:48,541
The badder you were, the better.
200
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,584
We lived big and fast and hard
201
00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:53,254
'cause no one's gonna
live for long.
202
00:10:55,363 --> 00:10:57,132
I figured it was just
a matter of time
203
00:10:57,156 --> 00:11:00,076
until it's my brains
on the sidewalk.
204
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:05,975
All these lying, smiley street
hustlers said I was great.
205
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:07,768
Those are the people
I surrounded myself with.
206
00:11:07,792 --> 00:11:09,061
I felt at home there.
207
00:11:09,085 --> 00:11:11,313
It's a pattern
I fell back to all my life.
208
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:13,983
Mike Tyson,
my brother, my brother.
209
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:16,277
Let me introduce myself, please.
210
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:19,071
I'm Don King.
211
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,140
Oh, if only.
212
00:11:25,101 --> 00:11:26,519
Michael.
213
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:35,421
Nettie and Sal from upstairs
was over here drinking,
214
00:11:35,445 --> 00:11:37,965
and somebody
robbed their place...
215
00:11:37,989 --> 00:11:39,550
Stole the money and
the baby's food, everything.
216
00:11:39,574 --> 00:11:40,885
- Mom, look around.
- It wasn't me.
217
00:11:40,909 --> 00:11:43,137
Don't you look me in the eye
and lie to me.
218
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:44,513
I know it was you.
219
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,432
- I was here the whole time.
- I didn't go anywhere.
220
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:49,143
Your brother and sister
stay out of trouble.
221
00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:52,438
Denise gets good grades.
Rodney does science and shit.
222
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:54,940
- Rodney's a freak.
- Rodney has a future.
223
00:11:54,964 --> 00:11:56,609
As what? A mad scientist?
224
00:11:56,633 --> 00:11:58,736
Science don't mean nothing
out here.
225
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,613
Rodney became a surgeon.
226
00:12:00,637 --> 00:12:01,906
Why you do this shit?
227
00:12:01,930 --> 00:12:03,866
Walking around here
with your nice clothes,
228
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:05,618
you thief?
229
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:07,119
I never stole nothing
in my life.
230
00:12:07,143 --> 00:12:08,662
You'd rather beg.
231
00:12:08,686 --> 00:12:11,540
Than be a fucking lowlife
thief, you piece of shit.
232
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:13,417
Got to do to get through to you?
233
00:12:13,441 --> 00:12:15,169
You take the money
I give you fast enough,
234
00:12:15,193 --> 00:12:16,545
and you never pay me back.
235
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:19,840
I never have to pay you back,
you cheap-ass motherfucker.
236
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:23,135
I gave you life, and now you're
gonna spend that life in jail.
237
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:25,512
- I don't care.
- Keep not caring.
238
00:12:25,536 --> 00:12:27,413
What kind of bird don't fly?
239
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:31,101
Jailbird.
240
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:33,354
Jailbird.
241
00:12:33,378 --> 00:12:35,522
You need to listen,
or you gonna die.
242
00:12:35,546 --> 00:12:36,815
I ain't never been arrested.
243
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:38,484
What ten-year-old says that?
244
00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:40,611
It ain't nothing to brag about.
245
00:12:40,635 --> 00:12:44,073
You heading down the path
of a doomed child.
246
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,075
It's coming, Mike.
247
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:48,035
It's coming.
248
00:12:48,059 --> 00:12:49,852
You don't know shit.
249
00:12:54,232 --> 00:12:56,001
First time I got arrested?
250
00:12:56,025 --> 00:12:58,837
Yeah, ten.
251
00:12:58,861 --> 00:13:01,572
Oh, and that whole
Sal and Nettie thing...
252
00:13:03,074 --> 00:13:04,993
Okay, it was me.
253
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:09,223
Oh, you can never understand
the action and excitement.
254
00:13:09,247 --> 00:13:12,059
I mean, being able
to outsmart somebody.
255
00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:13,519
It's a rush.
256
00:13:13,543 --> 00:13:16,981
Being in someone's home, and...
257
00:13:17,005 --> 00:13:19,775
there's so much luxury there...
258
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,027
and it's yours.
259
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:23,570
It gives you power.
260
00:13:23,594 --> 00:13:25,698
You're the man.
You're in charge.
261
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:28,033
I started to get a reputation
on the street
262
00:13:28,057 --> 00:13:30,786
that I would fight anyone.
263
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,496
I didn't think
I'd make it to 20,
264
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,331
so why not go out swinging?
265
00:13:45,867 --> 00:13:47,553
But I was so ashamed, man.
266
00:13:47,577 --> 00:13:50,139
I didn't go to school, so
I couldn't read or write good.
267
00:13:50,163 --> 00:13:52,975
I was just a lying
piece of shit back then.
268
00:13:52,999 --> 00:13:55,060
You know, when you hate
yourself like that,
269
00:13:55,084 --> 00:13:56,645
you can't love nobody.
270
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:58,355
Is it harder being
called a convicted rapist,
271
00:13:58,379 --> 00:14:00,107
or is it more nerve-racking
for you to box?
272
00:14:00,131 --> 00:14:01,817
Oh, well,
it's more nerve-racking
273
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:03,193
to be talking to
a rat piece of shit like you.
274
00:14:03,217 --> 00:14:04,361
Oh, come on, Mike.
275
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:05,487
Nah, because
you're a piece of shit.
276
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:06,655
We're on live TV here.
277
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,698
- What do I care?
- You're a piece of shit.
278
00:14:07,722 --> 00:14:09,366
We're gonna wrap up
this interview.
279
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:10,576
Thank you for coming in.
280
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,910
Fuck you.
281
00:14:11,934 --> 00:14:13,871
Yeah,
we'll talk about that later.
282
00:14:13,895 --> 00:14:15,539
Yeah, let's get out of here.
283
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:23,172
Why should I have compassion?
284
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:25,257
I didn't have a future.
285
00:14:29,577 --> 00:14:31,513
I was more interested
in getting revenge
286
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:33,098
on those bullies from my past.
287
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:38,270
- Yo, what's the matter, Mike?
- What'd you stop for?
288
00:14:43,591 --> 00:14:44,777
Before I was born,
289
00:14:44,801 --> 00:14:46,862
my mother worked
as a prison matron,
290
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:50,324
so she saw Black faces
behind bars firsthand.
291
00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:51,658
It scared her.
292
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:53,952
She was trying to scare me, too.
293
00:14:57,730 --> 00:15:00,542
When I started
getting arrested...
294
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:04,296
she'd come down
to the police station...
295
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,548
and do the only thing
she knew how to do.
296
00:15:08,533 --> 00:15:12,304
It was a regular occurrence.
297
00:15:12,328 --> 00:15:13,722
Once, she came
and beat me so bad,
298
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:15,682
the police
didn't even charge me.
299
00:15:15,706 --> 00:15:18,519
Now, a white family would see
that violence and disapprove.
300
00:15:18,543 --> 00:15:21,313
I see you shaking your head.
Am I right?
301
00:15:21,337 --> 00:15:22,314
But now, no.
302
00:15:22,338 --> 00:15:23,732
A Black family would see a woman
303
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:26,235
who's just trying
to keep her child alive.
304
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:28,112
She didn't know
how to get through to me.
305
00:15:28,136 --> 00:15:29,655
I didn't make it easy.
306
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:32,491
I think the harder she hit me,
the more afraid she was.
307
00:15:32,515 --> 00:15:35,410
She died before she could see
any of the success I had.
308
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:36,662
She never knew.
309
00:15:36,686 --> 00:15:39,289
I never got to do
anything good for her.
310
00:15:39,313 --> 00:15:41,917
My sister and brother
never got in trouble like me.
311
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,586
I just wish she knew
I was gonna be okay.
312
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:46,964
She tried, but she could never
keep me out of prison.
313
00:15:46,988 --> 00:15:49,824
Yo, you ever been
to Spofford before?
314
00:15:53,578 --> 00:15:57,099
My cousin said
some guys held him down,
315
00:15:57,123 --> 00:15:59,226
shaved him
his first night there.
316
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:01,395
It's a freak show, man.
317
00:16:01,419 --> 00:16:04,940
Young ones like you, well...
318
00:16:04,964 --> 00:16:07,067
Freaks really like 'em ripe.
319
00:16:13,848 --> 00:16:16,285
Yo, Mike, what up, baby?
320
00:16:16,309 --> 00:16:17,619
Yo! Barkim.
321
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:20,080
- Yo, chill.
- All your boys is here, baby.
322
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:21,999
It's like
a fucking class reunion.
323
00:16:22,023 --> 00:16:23,584
Except we ain't never
go to class.
324
00:16:23,608 --> 00:16:26,837
After that, Spoff became
a second fucking home to me.
325
00:16:26,861 --> 00:16:28,714
I was in group homes,
326
00:16:28,738 --> 00:16:29,882
special ed,
327
00:16:29,906 --> 00:16:31,967
some facility on Staten Island.
328
00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:33,427
By the time I was 13,
329
00:16:33,451 --> 00:16:36,346
I was too much
for all five boroughs.
330
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:39,558
So I got sent up to the Try on
Juvenile Facility upstate.
331
00:16:39,582 --> 00:16:40,809
You know, I don't even think
332
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:42,477
my mom said goodbye
at that point.
333
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:44,646
At Try on, I was always
in trouble and shit,
334
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:46,607
but I was like,
"Fuck you, I'm from Brooklyn."
335
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:48,650
- Hey!
- Hey!
336
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:50,194
Hey!
337
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:58,577
Man, I almost had him, if he
hadn't fucked my teeth up.
338
00:16:58,601 --> 00:17:01,121
Fuck you. Look what
he did to my fucking ribs.
339
00:17:01,145 --> 00:17:03,081
Shit, he didn't even know
you were there.
340
00:17:03,105 --> 00:17:04,374
Hey, what happened to you guys?
341
00:17:04,398 --> 00:17:06,460
Mr. Stewart,
that's what happened.
342
00:17:06,484 --> 00:17:07,628
He a guard?
343
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:09,880
- Nah, man.
- Guidance counselor.
344
00:17:09,904 --> 00:17:12,466
He was, like, a boxing champ...
Amateur champ or some shit.
345
00:17:12,490 --> 00:17:14,134
I could take him.
346
00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:16,178
Okay, buddy.
347
00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:18,096
Fuck you.
348
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:35,030
I heard about you.
349
00:17:36,931 --> 00:17:38,200
Suit up.
350
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:39,993
Whoo!
351
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:42,037
I figured the only thing
standing in the way
352
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:45,582
of everyone sucking up to me
was this little white guy.
353
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:48,418
I'm gonna fuck his shit up.
354
00:17:48,442 --> 00:17:49,586
Oh!
355
00:17:55,449 --> 00:17:57,010
Ooh!
356
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:04,601
I remember I thought
I was dying...
357
00:18:04,625 --> 00:18:06,562
literally dying.
358
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:09,481
But I also thought if I learned
how to punch like that,
359
00:18:09,505 --> 00:18:12,067
I'd be able to knock anyone out
and steal everybody's shit.
360
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,485
Excuse me, sir.
361
00:18:13,509 --> 00:18:15,195
Could you teach me
to punch like that?
362
00:18:15,219 --> 00:18:16,238
No.
363
00:18:16,262 --> 00:18:17,489
Sir, I'd really like to learn.
364
00:18:17,513 --> 00:18:19,283
- No, you wouldn't.
- Get out of here.
365
00:18:19,307 --> 00:18:21,618
- I want to be a fighter.
- Oh, yeah?
366
00:18:21,642 --> 00:18:24,454
Well, so do the rest
of these guys.
367
00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:27,708
But none of you have the balls
to work to be a fighter.
368
00:18:27,732 --> 00:18:29,543
I heard about you.
369
00:18:29,567 --> 00:18:32,004
You're a badass
motherfucker, right?
370
00:18:32,028 --> 00:18:35,340
You were sent to the hole
second night you're here?
371
00:18:35,364 --> 00:18:37,551
Nah, you don't want
to work for anything.
372
00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:40,679
I'm not teaching you shit.
373
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:41,888
I do.
374
00:18:41,912 --> 00:18:44,266
Please,
I'm not conning you, man.
375
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:47,019
- I need you.
- Well, I don't need you.
376
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:49,271
You know, you need credits
to train with me anyway.
377
00:18:49,295 --> 00:18:50,606
Maybe if you
straighten up your act,
378
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,524
stop being such an asshole,
show some respect,
379
00:18:52,548 --> 00:18:53,775
I'll work with you.
380
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,528
Until then,
get the fuck out of my way.
381
00:19:04,352 --> 00:19:06,455
So I started applying myself.
382
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:10,292
Eventually
I made the honor roll.
383
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:11,793
Me, right?
384
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:14,129
I always thought I was
the stupidest guy in the world.
385
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:16,298
Turns out
I'm smarter than stupid.
386
00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:21,261
So I started training
with Bobby Stewart.
387
00:19:21,285 --> 00:19:23,180
Months in, turns out...
388
00:19:23,204 --> 00:19:25,724
Well, I guess
you all know this part.
389
00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:31,438
Turns out
I'm pretty good at this shit.
390
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:35,984
It was the first time
I was good at something
391
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:37,569
that wasn't totally illegal.
392
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,206
Come on, man, call her.
393
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:50,832
Call her.
394
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:52,709
I want my mom to know
that I'm good at something.
395
00:19:52,733 --> 00:19:53,960
Okay.
396
00:19:53,984 --> 00:19:55,128
She'll believe it
if a white man tells her.
397
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:56,463
- All right, all right.
- Come on, come on.
398
00:19:56,487 --> 00:19:58,423
Mike, I want to talk to you
for a second, seriously.
399
00:19:58,447 --> 00:20:01,409
- I didn't do anything.
- No. No, I know. I know.
400
00:20:06,247 --> 00:20:08,225
There's someone
I want you to meet.
401
00:20:08,249 --> 00:20:11,895
Cus D'Amato.
He's a big-time boxing trainer.
402
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:15,148
He could take you
to the next level.
403
00:20:15,172 --> 00:20:18,902
Why? What did I do?
404
00:20:18,926 --> 00:20:21,279
- What do you mean?
- I train with you, man.
405
00:20:21,303 --> 00:20:22,739
Mike.
406
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:24,074
Look, he trained
Floyd Patterson.
407
00:20:24,098 --> 00:20:26,952
He made him a champion.
He trained José Torres.
408
00:20:26,976 --> 00:20:30,163
All right?
Come on, trust me on this.
409
00:20:30,187 --> 00:20:32,624
- I'll do better.
- I promise.
410
00:20:32,648 --> 00:20:34,084
No, Mike.
411
00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:36,545
- Mike, this is a good thing.
- Come on, man.
412
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:39,256
What did I do? What did I do?
413
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,966
No, Mike, Mike,
you didn't do anything.
414
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:42,658
Look...
415
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:48,682
You're gonna be paroled soon.
416
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,684
I don't want you going back
to Brownsville,
417
00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:52,978
getting into trouble.
418
00:20:53,002 --> 00:20:56,148
Mike, I'm doing this for you,
not to you.
419
00:20:56,172 --> 00:20:57,607
All right?
420
00:20:57,631 --> 00:21:00,652
Hey, come on, Mike.
421
00:21:00,676 --> 00:21:03,095
Come on, cheer up.
This is good news.
422
00:21:07,016 --> 00:21:08,076
Okay.
423
00:21:11,479 --> 00:21:14,833
Cus D'Amato trained not one
but two world champions.
424
00:21:14,857 --> 00:21:16,418
He was a legend.
425
00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:20,589
But Cus only had a small
gym in Catskill, New York,
426
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:22,132
when I met him.
427
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:26,052
He had fallen into obscurity.
428
00:21:29,580 --> 00:21:31,683
Fighters thought
he was old-timey.
429
00:21:33,584 --> 00:21:35,187
I was his last Hail Mary...
430
00:21:35,211 --> 00:21:36,646
All right, that's enough.
431
00:21:36,670 --> 00:21:38,064
His golden meal ticket back.
432
00:21:38,088 --> 00:21:39,441
Here's the truth.
433
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:43,862
This is the heavyweight
champion of the world.
434
00:21:43,886 --> 00:21:46,698
I made Floyd Patterson the
youngest champion of the world.
435
00:21:46,722 --> 00:21:48,533
If you listen to me,
436
00:21:48,557 --> 00:21:51,703
I can make you the youngest
champion of all time...
437
00:21:51,727 --> 00:21:55,290
A beast, a terror, a monster.
438
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:57,250
What do you think about that?
439
00:21:57,274 --> 00:21:59,961
I thought he was a pervert.
440
00:21:59,985 --> 00:22:01,713
Back home, right when people
say that shit,
441
00:22:01,737 --> 00:22:03,798
they're about
to perv out on you.
442
00:22:03,822 --> 00:22:07,469
I can't believe
you're just 13 years old.
443
00:22:07,493 --> 00:22:09,095
Yes, sir.
444
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,098
You have a natural talent, Mike.
445
00:22:12,122 --> 00:22:14,684
You looked splendid.
446
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:16,102
In time,
447
00:22:16,126 --> 00:22:20,649
you will be the greatest
fighter that has ever lived.
448
00:22:20,673 --> 00:22:22,526
Do you believe that?
449
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:24,528
I didn't know
what to think about that.
450
00:22:24,552 --> 00:22:28,114
I was honestly just thinking
how I was gonna rob his house.
451
00:22:28,138 --> 00:22:30,450
- I don't know what to say.
- It's the truth.
452
00:22:30,474 --> 00:22:32,452
Everyone thinks I'm finished.
I'm not finished.
453
00:22:32,476 --> 00:22:33,828
I've been waiting,
454
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:36,873
and I think you're the one
I've been waiting for.
455
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:38,750
Now I'm glad I lived
as long as I did.
456
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,256
- So you up for it?
- You gonna work together?
457
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,592
What do you think, Mike?
458
00:22:47,616 --> 00:22:49,094
Are those roses?
459
00:22:49,118 --> 00:22:50,554
What?
460
00:22:50,578 --> 00:22:52,180
Roses.
461
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:56,017
I never seen them
in real life before...
462
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:57,835
only on television.
463
00:23:01,964 --> 00:23:04,568
You okay, Mike?
464
00:23:04,592 --> 00:23:05,926
Hey.
465
00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:10,347
What you thinking?
466
00:23:12,433 --> 00:23:15,436
I think I'm gonna be somebody.
