1
00:01:46,117 --> 00:01:48,356
Attaboy! Keep him busy!
2
00:01:51,856 --> 00:01:54,925
- One! Two!
- You got it!
3
00:01:54,993 --> 00:01:59,960
Three! Four! Five!
4
00:02:00,031 --> 00:02:03,100
Six! Seven!
5
00:02:03,168 --> 00:02:06,146
Eight! Nine!
6
00:02:06,204 --> 00:02:09,046
Ten! Out!
7
00:02:12,077 --> 00:02:16,021
Come here, Jimmy.
Get that Sleeping Beauty out of here!
8
00:02:17,148 --> 00:02:20,319
- That�s ten in a row, Jimmy.
- A knockout!
9
00:02:20,385 --> 00:02:23,522
At one minute 46 seconds
of the second round,
10
00:02:23,588 --> 00:02:27,532
tonight�s light heavyweight winner
from the great state of New Jersey,
11
00:02:27,592 --> 00:02:31,263
the Bulldog of Bergen, James J. Braddock!
12
00:02:42,273 --> 00:02:45,080
- You�re gonna be the next champ!
- How you doing?
13
00:02:45,143 --> 00:02:48,178
- Just a few. Leave �em wanting.
- Wanna sign my name for me?
14
00:02:48,246 --> 00:02:51,247
Well, at least then they can read it.
15
00:02:55,019 --> 00:02:57,929
You�ve been getting stronger
with every fight.
16
00:02:57,989 --> 00:03:01,024
You favor the right, sure,
but you got no stage fright.
17
00:03:01,092 --> 00:03:05,127
And you have never been knocked out.
You�re in line. That�s all I�m saying.
18
00:03:05,196 --> 00:03:07,833
You�re gonna get your shot.
19
00:03:07,899 --> 00:03:11,036
All right, let me see what we�ve got here.
20
00:03:11,102 --> 00:03:14,773
$886 for Jeanette,
$772 for Lou and Whitey.
21
00:03:14,839 --> 00:03:19,545
A thousand bucks for the ring fees,
my $2,658 and your $3,544,
22
00:03:19,611 --> 00:03:22,384
makes $8,860.
23
00:03:22,447 --> 00:03:25,584
Stick that in your mattress, Irishman.
24
00:03:25,650 --> 00:03:28,219
When we get there,
you gonna come in and see the kids?
25
00:03:28,286 --> 00:03:31,059
It�s been a while. Come on.
They miss their Uncle Joey.
26
00:03:31,122 --> 00:03:35,293
That�s very sweet.
You still married to the same girl?
27
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,429
- I was this morning.
- Congratulations. I�ll take a rain check.
28
00:03:39,497 --> 00:03:44,703
And would you tell her I undercharged
on the gym fees and no load on the towel?
29
00:03:44,769 --> 00:03:47,145
- I�ll be sure to point that out.
- I appreciate it.
30
00:03:47,205 --> 00:03:49,706
Would you stop
up at the corner here, Frank?
31
00:03:49,741 --> 00:03:53,583
Home to Jersey
for Mr. Adventure over here.
32
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:56,855
All right. See you, Frank.
33
00:04:18,269 --> 00:04:21,372
Oh, I could kill you!
34
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:23,576
I like the sound of that.
35
00:04:23,641 --> 00:04:26,176
I like the sound of that a lot.
36
00:04:26,244 --> 00:04:27,744
- Jimmy.
- Yeah?
37
00:04:27,812 --> 00:04:29,915
My sister.
38
00:04:29,981 --> 00:04:32,857
Daddy, did we win?
39
00:04:33,818 --> 00:04:37,228
Yeah, we won. How are ya Alice?
40
00:04:37,288 --> 00:04:40,664
- Good. That�s wonderful, Jimmy.
- Hey, Howard.
41
00:04:48,233 --> 00:04:50,143
Thank you.
42
00:04:50,201 --> 00:04:52,702
So, tell me about it.
43
00:04:52,737 --> 00:04:55,738
Was he a real slugger?
44
00:04:56,774 --> 00:04:59,115
You know...
45
00:05:00,311 --> 00:05:02,982
you could come and watch.
46
00:05:04,682 --> 00:05:06,353
No.
47
00:05:06,417 --> 00:05:11,486
You get hit, every time
it feels like I�m gettin� hit too.
48
00:05:12,590 --> 00:05:16,057
And I�m not half as tough as you are.
49
00:05:17,695 --> 00:05:20,105
So...
50
00:05:20,164 --> 00:05:24,438
- Tell me about the girls.
- Girls?
51
00:05:27,772 --> 00:05:33,342
- I was at the Garden, it was a fight night...
- There was one. There must�ve been one.
52
00:05:33,978 --> 00:05:35,853
No.
53
00:05:35,914 --> 00:05:38,051
- Blonde?
- Brunette.
54
00:05:40,351 --> 00:05:42,488
Tall?
55
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:48,091
Like a gazelle.
56
00:05:48,159 --> 00:05:50,364
I don�t know how it is
she breathed up there.
57
00:05:51,195 --> 00:05:53,366
Mr. Braddock!
58
00:05:54,332 --> 00:05:58,640
You�re so strong!
59
00:05:58,703 --> 00:06:01,147
And your hands...
60
00:06:01,205 --> 00:06:03,978
they�re so big.
61
00:06:04,042 --> 00:06:06,418
You�re so powerful.
62
00:06:10,448 --> 00:06:12,858
Jimmy.
63
00:06:12,917 --> 00:06:17,829
I�m so proud of you.
64
00:06:20,158 --> 00:06:26,034
Introducing two-times
state Golden Gloves titleholder,
65
00:06:26,097 --> 00:06:29,098
in both the light heavyweight
and heavyweight divisions,
66
00:06:29,167 --> 00:06:32,941
21 and 0, with 16 wins
coming by way of a knockout,
67
00:06:33,438 --> 00:06:37,939
the Bulldog of Bergen,
the pride of New Jersey
68
00:06:38,009 --> 00:06:43,613
and the hope of the Irish
as the future champion of the world,
69
00:06:43,681 --> 00:06:47,750
James J. Braddock!
70
00:07:22,153 --> 00:07:25,154
Mom, you woke me up.
71
00:07:25,223 --> 00:07:30,565
You kicked the covers off, honey.
Go to sleep.
72
00:08:39,864 --> 00:08:42,603
- I can�t find my socks.
- Jim.
73
00:08:42,667 --> 00:08:44,940
I�m sorry.
74
00:08:45,002 --> 00:08:47,707
Mama.
75
00:08:47,772 --> 00:08:50,648
- Great.
- I�m sorry, baby.
76
00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:54,118
I washed �em last night.
Took �em right off your feet.
77
00:08:54,178 --> 00:08:56,281
- Don�t you remember?
- No.
78
00:08:59,050 --> 00:09:02,221
You were out like a light.
79
00:09:08,726 --> 00:09:11,227
How do I keep �em this warm?
80
00:09:11,262 --> 00:09:14,638
Mama, I want to eat too.
81
00:09:14,699 --> 00:09:18,041
Mommy�ll get you some, honey.
82
00:09:19,737 --> 00:09:23,579
Hey, Rosy-Rosy.
Good morning, good morning.
83
00:09:27,378 --> 00:09:31,015
We got a notice yesterday.
Gas and electric.
84
00:09:32,183 --> 00:09:35,957
Come on. Okey-dokey. There we go.
85
00:09:36,020 --> 00:09:38,123
I�ll get the milk.
86
00:10:02,046 --> 00:10:05,615
Well, I think there�s some left over.
87
00:10:06,651 --> 00:10:08,095
Yup.
88
00:10:08,152 --> 00:10:12,028
You know I got that fight tonight
at the Armory.
89
00:10:13,591 --> 00:10:16,262
One guy. Abe Feldman.
90
00:10:16,327 --> 00:10:20,169
- It�s 50 bucks, win or lose.
- That�s good.
91
00:10:21,032 --> 00:10:23,442
If I beat him, maybe I can
get my purses back up to $75.
92
00:10:23,501 --> 00:10:25,877
That would be great.
93
00:10:26,804 --> 00:10:28,714
Rosy.
94
00:10:29,140 --> 00:10:32,016
Use your fork, please.
95
00:10:32,844 --> 00:10:35,617
Who needs a cow?
96
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:38,851
Mama, I want some more.
97
00:10:38,916 --> 00:10:43,485
I�m sorry, sweetheart.
We need to save some for the boys.
98
00:10:46,757 --> 00:10:49,064
Here you go.
99
00:10:49,126 --> 00:10:54,400
You know, Mae, I dreamed last night
that I was havin� dinner at the Ritz.
100
00:10:54,465 --> 00:10:57,341
- With Mickey Rooney and George Raft.
- Really?
101
00:10:57,401 --> 00:11:01,641
I dreamed I had a steak.
A thick, juicy steak.
102
00:11:01,706 --> 00:11:03,706
Like this, Rosy.
103
00:11:03,774 --> 00:11:08,514
Then I had a mountain of mashed potatoes
and I went back for ice cream three times.
104
00:11:09,580 --> 00:11:14,183
I�m stuffed. I�m absolutely full.
I cannot eat another thing.
105
00:11:15,553 --> 00:11:17,656
Want to give me a hand?
106
00:11:17,722 --> 00:11:19,291
Jim...
107
00:11:20,825 --> 00:11:23,166
Jimmy.
108
00:11:45,716 --> 00:11:48,558
Boys, hurry up. Don�t dawdle.
109
00:11:48,619 --> 00:11:51,392
Let�s try and sleep a little more.
110
00:11:59,463 --> 00:12:03,271
Sure, business is bunk,
And Wall Street is sunk
111
00:12:03,334 --> 00:12:07,869
We�re all of us broke, And ready to croak
112
00:12:07,939 --> 00:12:11,906
We�ve nothing to dunk, Can�t even get drunk
113
00:12:11,976 --> 00:12:16,250
And all the while, They tell us to smile
114
00:12:16,314 --> 00:12:18,417
Cheer up, gentle citizens
115
00:12:18,482 --> 00:12:20,517
Though you have no shirts
116
00:12:20,584 --> 00:12:24,460
Happy days are here again,
Cheer up, smile, nertz
117
00:12:24,522 --> 00:12:28,728
All aboard prosperity,
Giggle till it hurts
118
00:12:28,793 --> 00:12:32,964
No more bread-line charity,
Cheer up, smile, nertz
119
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:36,974
Sunny smilers we must be,
The optimist asserts
120
00:12:37,034 --> 00:12:40,944
Let�s hang the fathead to a tree,
Cheer up, smile, nertz
121
00:12:41,005 --> 00:12:43,915
Here, Jake. Over here.
122
00:12:43,975 --> 00:12:46,385
I need nine men, and only nine.
123
00:12:47,445 --> 00:12:50,446
One. Two.
124
00:12:50,514 --> 00:12:52,719
Three. Four.
125
00:12:53,584 --> 00:12:56,562
Five. Six.
126
00:13:00,491 --> 00:13:03,401
Seven. Eight.
127
00:13:03,461 --> 00:13:05,564
Nine. That�s it!
128
00:13:06,564 --> 00:13:10,031
All right, let�s get a move on.
129
00:13:10,101 --> 00:13:12,340
Come on! Get going.
130
00:13:12,403 --> 00:13:15,074
Not a lot of work today.
131
00:13:16,107 --> 00:13:18,414
See you tomorrow, all right?
132
00:13:30,254 --> 00:13:31,993
Hey, Dad.
133
00:13:32,056 --> 00:13:34,795
- No shifts today, Dad?
- What are you doing, son?
134
00:13:34,859 --> 00:13:37,530
I�m being good, I�m being quiet,
I�m being �have.
135
00:13:37,595 --> 00:13:39,164
Great.
136
00:13:40,231 --> 00:13:42,732
Daddy! Daddy!
137
00:13:42,767 --> 00:13:47,473
- Rosy-cheeks. How you doin�?
- Daddy! Jay stole.
138
00:13:47,538 --> 00:13:49,845
- What?
- Jay stole.
139
00:13:59,350 --> 00:14:01,555
- What�s all this about?
- See? It�s a salami.
140
00:14:01,619 --> 00:14:07,495
Young lady, your brother�s in enough
trouble without you tellin� on him.
141
00:14:07,558 --> 00:14:11,127
It�s from the butcher�s, and he won�t say
a word about it. Will you, Jay?
142
00:14:11,195 --> 00:14:13,730
Will you, Jay?
143
00:14:17,368 --> 00:14:20,210
OK, pick it up. Let�s go.
144
00:14:21,672 --> 00:14:25,343
Do not test me, boy. Right now.
145
00:14:30,481 --> 00:14:32,982
Howard, stay here.
146
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,290
Marty Johnson had to go away
to Delaware to live with his uncle.
147
00:15:08,285 --> 00:15:11,922
- Why?
- His parents didn�t have enough to eat.
148
00:15:18,562 --> 00:15:22,972
Yeah, well, things ain�t easy
at the moment, Jay. You�re right.
149
00:15:23,033 --> 00:15:26,170
But there�s a lot of people
worse off than what we are.
150
00:15:28,939 --> 00:15:33,576
Just �cause things ain�t easy, that�s
no excuse to take what�s not yours, is it?
151
00:15:33,644 --> 00:15:36,986
That�s stealing, right? And we don�t steal.
152
00:15:37,047 --> 00:15:39,786
No matter what happens, we don�t steal.
153
00:15:39,850 --> 00:15:41,850
Not ever. You got me?
154
00:15:48,459 --> 00:15:51,926
- Are you giving me your word?
- Yes.
155
00:15:51,996 --> 00:15:54,337
- Goon.
- I promise.
156
00:15:58,469 --> 00:16:00,970
And I promise you...
157
00:16:02,072 --> 00:16:04,743
we will never send you away.
158
00:16:10,247 --> 00:16:12,657
It�s OK, kid.
159
00:16:12,716 --> 00:16:15,887
You got a little scared. I understand.
160
00:16:15,953 --> 00:16:18,056
It�s OK.
161
00:16:37,141 --> 00:16:42,210
He�s a very slow guy.
Just plants himself there.
162
00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:45,780
So you just keep him steady,
keep him trapped in the middle.
163
00:16:45,849 --> 00:16:49,157
Keep dancing around him, OK?
164
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:52,198
You know what to do. You know this type.
165
00:16:53,190 --> 00:16:55,861
The guy�s a bum.
166
00:17:00,598 --> 00:17:03,508
Two bits will get a guy a seat.
167
00:17:03,567 --> 00:17:07,807
And that guy gets to watch you bleed
and call you a bum.
168
00:17:07,871 --> 00:17:12,281
And I know I gotta take it from
him �cause he�s a paying customer.
169
00:17:12,343 --> 00:17:14,787
I see.
170
00:17:14,845 --> 00:17:17,186
Well, well, well, well, well.
171
00:17:17,248 --> 00:17:19,385
Pardon me, miss.
172
00:17:19,450 --> 00:17:23,155
Allow me to restate my position.
173
00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:26,596
Mr. Abraham Feldman is a novice fighter
174
00:17:26,657 --> 00:17:29,601
whose ass you should gently kick
175
00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:33,263
until it is humped up
between his shoulder blades.
176
00:17:33,330 --> 00:17:38,434
That is if it doesn�t offend
your overly sensitive nature. God knows.
177
00:17:50,547 --> 00:17:54,389
- Now, that break�s still a few weeks away.
- I know.
178
00:17:54,451 --> 00:17:56,986
- You were gonna tell me about this when?
- It�s fine.
179
00:17:57,054 --> 00:18:00,225
It�s not fine. No, it�s not.
What the hell? You don�t tell me?
180
00:18:00,291 --> 00:18:04,394
I owe everybody money, Joe.
I owe everybody money.
181
00:18:06,563 --> 00:18:10,098
I can�t get any shifts.
I ain�t got any cash.
182
00:18:13,237 --> 00:18:15,408
I got it, I got it.
183
00:18:18,909 --> 00:18:21,512
Screw them. I�ll tape it double.
184
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,214
Thanks.
185
00:18:25,616 --> 00:18:28,355
Keep up. Stay up.
186
00:18:28,419 --> 00:18:31,454
Keep moving, keep your legs moving.
187
00:18:32,356 --> 00:18:35,857
Here comes Braddock
with his long-time manager, Joe Gould.
188
00:18:35,926 --> 00:18:38,199
You�re washed up, Braddock!
189
00:18:38,262 --> 00:18:42,138
- And now for our main event...
- Hey. Which one�s us, pal?
190
00:18:42,199 --> 00:18:44,700
He�s up against Hymie Caplin�s
latest charge,
191
00:18:44,735 --> 00:18:47,974
- young Abe Feldman from Schenectady.
- Six-rounder.
192
00:18:48,038 --> 00:18:53,005
Some might recall that Braddock was
once a light-heavyweight title challenger.
193
00:18:53,077 --> 00:18:55,112
His golden-boy peak ended
194
00:18:55,179 --> 00:19:00,214
when Tommy Loughran handled Jim
over 15 rounds back in �29.
195
00:19:00,284 --> 00:19:02,353
Since then, the oft-injured Braddock
196
00:19:02,419 --> 00:19:05,522
has shown only a glimmer
of his early promise.
197
00:19:05,589 --> 00:19:11,295
And the losses have started to pile up.
But Braddock continues to battle.
198
00:19:11,362 --> 00:19:14,135
And here comes the popular
Abe Feldman.
199
00:19:14,198 --> 00:19:20,136
He looks to be the real thing and showed
real moxie in his recent win over Birkie.
200
00:19:24,041 --> 00:19:27,178
- Who whipped Latzo?
- I did.
201
00:19:27,244 --> 00:19:29,949
Goddamn right.
Who KO�d Slattery in the ninth
202
00:19:30,013 --> 00:19:33,957
when everybody said he didn�t have
a rainmaker�s chance in hell?
203
00:19:34,017 --> 00:19:35,517
- That�d have to be me too.
- Right.
204
00:19:35,586 --> 00:19:38,325
And we�re s�posed to pucker our assholes
over Feldman?
205
00:19:38,389 --> 00:19:40,389
- The guy couldn�t break wind.
- No.
206
00:19:40,457 --> 00:19:43,799
Jimmy, Jimmy. Jimmy.
207
00:19:43,861 --> 00:19:46,737
- Any place else you�d rather be?
- No.
208
00:19:46,797 --> 00:19:50,105
Good. Now what are you
gonna do about it?
209
00:19:51,068 --> 00:19:55,342
Here we are halfway through the fifth
and it�s more of the same.
210
00:19:55,406 --> 00:19:57,441
The boys clinch again.
211
00:19:57,508 --> 00:20:02,316
- He�s crushing my guy! Get him off!
- Break, break, break!
212
00:20:02,379 --> 00:20:06,289
The boo-birds have started flying.
They want action from these fighters.
213
00:20:06,784 --> 00:20:08,955
Feldman sticks a left in Braddock�s face.
214
00:20:09,019 --> 00:20:11,690
Braddock�s right hand
is his best and only weapon.
215
00:20:11,755 --> 00:20:14,699
He'll show the left but it lacks snap,
and Feldman knows it.
216
00:20:14,758 --> 00:20:17,634
Give these yokels a shot in the ass!
217
00:20:17,694 --> 00:20:21,331
Feldman ducks a haymaker,
but fails to follow up.
218
00:20:29,106 --> 00:20:32,607
Another big right by Braddock.
There�s the Braddock we all recall.
219
00:20:32,676 --> 00:20:36,484
But it�s one at a time.
It may not be enough.
220
00:20:36,547 --> 00:20:39,048
Come on!
221
00:21:05,509 --> 00:21:09,453
The referee pulls the boys apart,
and there�s the bell to end the fifth.
222
00:21:09,513 --> 00:21:13,287
Easy now, easy. Easy, easy.
223
00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:15,350
I saw that.
224
00:21:15,419 --> 00:21:18,397
Bust it again? I�m calling it, Jim.
225
00:21:23,227 --> 00:21:25,466
You gonna use the left? OK. Good.
226
00:21:25,529 --> 00:21:29,700
You get in there, but don�t let him crowd
you. Work his belly, hammer his belly.
227
00:21:29,766 --> 00:21:32,267
Last round. Come on,
you gotta show me something.
228
00:21:32,336 --> 00:21:35,939
- You are giving me an ulcer, Harry!
- Shut up.
229
00:21:36,006 --> 00:21:38,507
Work his belly with the left. You got it?
230
00:21:38,575 --> 00:21:43,883
Give him the flapdoodle with the right,
because he don�t know. He�s kinda stupid.
231
00:21:43,947 --> 00:21:47,357
Last round. Last round. Go get him!
232
00:21:47,451 --> 00:21:50,122
The left! The left!
233
00:21:51,021 --> 00:21:53,522
Damn it. I wish he could find
his goddamned left.
234
00:21:54,758 --> 00:21:58,895
That�s it. Change it up.
Southpaw, that�s it!
235
00:21:58,962 --> 00:22:01,701
Feldman prancing around,
looking for an opening.
236
00:22:01,765 --> 00:22:04,300
But still few clean punches by the fighters.
237
00:22:04,368 --> 00:22:09,506
Braddock still pawing away with the left.
Another ineffectual left from Feldman.
238
00:22:09,573 --> 00:22:13,381
Braddock can hardly lift his arms.
He�s slow on his feet.
239
00:22:13,443 --> 00:22:18,717
At least Gould in his corner is still
throwing punches, trying to urge his man on.
240
00:22:21,919 --> 00:22:23,897
Go home!
241
00:22:31,461 --> 00:22:32,700
No holds, Braddock.
242
00:22:32,763 --> 00:22:36,037
Cavanaugh�s working harder
than the fighters.
243
00:22:36,099 --> 00:22:37,736
Dry up!
244
00:22:40,337 --> 00:22:46,304
Another clinch. It�s as if 80 tough fights
have finally jumped on Braddock�s back.
245
00:22:54,351 --> 00:22:58,886
Cavanaugh pulls them apart. And he�s
called the fight. He�s called the fight.
246
00:22:59,856 --> 00:23:05,232
It�s a no-contest. And the popcorn
and the peanuts are raining down.
247
00:23:05,295 --> 00:23:08,796
And I�m afraid to say
that�s all these fighters deserve
248
00:23:08,865 --> 00:23:11,434
for the show they put on tonight.
249
00:23:13,136 --> 00:23:19,072
It�s sad to see a fighter that was once the
caliber of James Braddock reduced to this.
250
00:23:19,242 --> 00:23:22,709
It�s all right, Jimmy.
It�s all right, it�s all right.
251
00:23:22,779 --> 00:23:24,882
An embarrassment, that�s what it was.
252
00:23:24,948 --> 00:23:27,619
- An embarrassment!
- Where the hell�s the purse?
253
00:23:27,684 --> 00:23:31,287
You wouldn�t have to be asking that
if you gave a shit about your fighter.
254
00:23:31,355 --> 00:23:34,856
OK. OK. He�s fighting hurt.
255
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,269
Maybe you got fat and happy fighters
who can afford to rest between bouts.
256
00:23:39,329 --> 00:23:43,864
- I don�t know. Lucky you.
- Christ, he hardly gets a punch in!
257
00:23:43,934 --> 00:23:47,674
Fights being stopped by referees?
He�s pathetic!
258
00:23:47,771 --> 00:23:49,976
Fights like that keep people away.
259
00:23:53,443 --> 00:23:56,182
We�re revoking his license, Joe.
260
00:23:56,246 --> 00:24:00,020
Whatever Braddock was gonna do
in boxing, I guess he�s done it.
261
00:24:00,083 --> 00:24:02,152
Wait a minute.
262
00:24:02,219 --> 00:24:04,595
That�s all.
263
00:24:08,558 --> 00:24:11,059
Oh, boy.
264
00:24:15,365 --> 00:24:17,468
Mr. Johnston!
265
00:24:19,036 --> 00:24:21,139
Jim.
266
00:24:21,204 --> 00:24:24,205
- What�s going on?
- You didn�t tell him?
267
00:24:24,274 --> 00:24:27,718
Yeah, of course I told him.
He wanted to hear it from you.
268
00:24:27,778 --> 00:24:30,279
Come on, Mr. Johnston. No contest?
269
00:24:30,313 --> 00:24:34,950
I broke my hand. OK? It�s legit.
You don�t see me crying about it.
270
00:24:35,952 --> 00:24:40,992
I don�t see what you got to complain about.
I still put on a show. I did what I could do.
271
00:24:42,259 --> 00:24:46,601
You know, we did that boondock circuit
for you - me and Joe. Remember?
272
00:24:47,597 --> 00:24:50,939
I didn�t quit on you.
And I didn�t quit tonight.
273
00:24:53,070 --> 00:24:56,605
I didn�t always lose.
I won�t always lose again.
274
00:24:57,607 --> 00:24:59,812
- I can still fight.
- Go home.
275
00:24:59,876 --> 00:25:03,377
- I can still fight.
- Go home to Mae and the kids, Jim.
276
00:25:04,948 --> 00:25:07,687
Go home? Go home with what?
277
00:25:07,751 --> 00:25:10,195
Go home with what?
278
00:25:10,253 --> 00:25:13,095
A broken hand from Mount Vernon?
279
00:25:14,191 --> 00:25:16,294
Mr. Johnston!
280
00:25:50,093 --> 00:25:52,264
Baby?
281
00:26:00,303 --> 00:26:02,804
What happened?
282
00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:05,715
I didn�t get the dough.
283
00:26:05,776 --> 00:26:08,447
They didn�t pay up.
284
00:26:09,412 --> 00:26:13,117
They called it a no-contest,
said the fight was an embarrassment.
285
00:26:14,618 --> 00:26:17,460
They decommissioned me.
286
00:26:20,357 --> 00:26:25,426
- Jimmy, what happened to your hand?
- It�s broken again in three places.
287
00:26:25,495 --> 00:26:28,803
They said I�m through, Mae.
Said I can�t be a boxer no more.
288
00:26:28,865 --> 00:26:30,775
Mercy.
289
00:26:35,972 --> 00:26:37,711
OK.
290
00:26:42,479 --> 00:26:47,321
Jimmy, if you can�t work, we�re not gonna
be able to pay the electric or the heat.
291
00:26:48,151 --> 00:26:50,254
And...
292
00:26:52,856 --> 00:26:56,130
we�re out of credit at the grocery, so...
293
00:26:57,093 --> 00:27:00,162
I think we need to pack the kids.
294
00:27:01,498 --> 00:27:06,840
They could stay at my sister�s for a while,
and I�ll take in more sewing.
295
00:27:06,903 --> 00:27:10,347
- Mae, I�ll get doubles, triples.
- We could make two breadlines a day.
296
00:27:10,407 --> 00:27:12,908
- Jimmy, you can�t work.
- Mae, I can still work.
297
00:27:12,943 --> 00:27:15,682
Jimmy, you can�t work. Your hand�s broken.
298
00:27:17,681 --> 00:27:23,091
They see me lugging this around, they
won�t pick me. Not the docks or anywhere.
299
00:27:24,087 --> 00:27:27,827
So I�m gonna cover it up-
with the shoe polish.
300
00:27:29,659 --> 00:27:31,762
OK?
301
00:27:57,687 --> 00:28:00,563
- I�m sorry.
- No.
302
00:28:06,329 --> 00:28:07,829
No.
303
00:28:18,408 --> 00:28:19,908
No.
304
00:28:39,296 --> 00:28:42,001
All right. Five, and only five.
305
00:28:46,002 --> 00:28:48,139
One.
306
00:28:49,105 --> 00:28:51,105
Two.
307
00:28:53,410 --> 00:28:55,445
Three.
308
00:28:56,379 --> 00:28:58,220
Four.
309
00:29:00,650 --> 00:29:02,855
Five. That�s it.
310
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,135
- What the hell happened to your face?
- I got in a fight.
311
00:29:21,204 --> 00:29:23,773
Yeah? What did you go and do that for?
312
00:29:25,208 --> 00:29:27,618
That�s a good question.
313
00:29:27,677 --> 00:29:30,053
Mike Wilson.
314
00:29:30,113 --> 00:29:31,954
Jim Braddock.
315
00:29:32,015 --> 00:29:35,857
Used to follow a pretty good
fighter with that name.
316
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,260
There�s some other guy going around
using that name now. Can�t fight for shit.
317
00:29:42,325 --> 00:29:44,826
A gambling man�ll lose
a lot of money on him.
318
00:29:44,861 --> 00:29:47,362
Twice.
319
00:29:51,868 --> 00:29:55,176
Hey, that hand ain�t gonna work.
320
00:29:55,238 --> 00:29:57,545
You can�t slow me down. I need this job.
321
00:29:58,641 --> 00:30:00,641
I need the job too.
322
00:30:09,185 --> 00:30:12,163
What�s wrong with the goddamn hand?
323
00:30:20,363 --> 00:30:22,568
You see us falling behind, Jake?
324
00:30:24,267 --> 00:30:26,608
He�s all right.
325
00:30:33,943 --> 00:30:36,284
I appreciate it.
326
00:30:38,515 --> 00:30:40,856
I�ll get a cold beer.
327
00:30:40,917 --> 00:30:44,918
- Just a water for me, Quincy.
- All I got today, big spenders.
328
00:30:44,988 --> 00:30:47,364
Beer for him too. I�m buying.
329
00:30:48,258 --> 00:30:50,202
Don�t hurt my feelings.
330
00:30:50,260 --> 00:30:54,568
It�s been a while but...
you don�t have to twist my arm.
331
00:30:55,799 --> 00:30:59,868
Yeah, I used to be a broker.
Still lost it all in �29.
332
00:30:59,936 --> 00:31:02,073
Yeah, me too.
333
00:31:02,138 --> 00:31:05,480
I had just about everything
I ever earned in stocks.
334
00:31:05,542 --> 00:31:10,918
Even that taxi company. I mean, who
loses their dough on cabs in New York City?
335
00:31:10,980 --> 00:31:14,015
Yeah. I thought that one was gold
for the grandkiddies.
336
00:31:14,084 --> 00:31:18,892
You know there�s people living in shacks in
Central Park? They call it the Hooverville.
337
00:31:18,955 --> 00:31:21,296
This governments dropped us flat.
338
00:31:21,357 --> 00:31:24,801
We need to organize, you know?
Unionize, fight back.
339
00:31:26,029 --> 00:31:30,439
Fight? Fight what?
Bad luck? Greed? Drought?
340
00:31:31,234 --> 00:31:35,235
No point punching things you can�t see.
We�ll work our way through this.
341
00:31:35,305 --> 00:31:38,283
- FDR, he�s gonna handle it.
- Screw FDR.
342
00:31:38,341 --> 00:31:40,751
FDR, Hoover, they�re all the same.
343
00:31:40,810 --> 00:31:43,151
I come home one day,
I stand in my living room,
344
00:31:43,213 --> 00:31:48,157
and between the mortgage and the market
and the lawyer meant to be working for me,
345
00:31:48,251 --> 00:31:51,024
it stopped being mine.
346
00:31:51,054 --> 00:31:53,555
It all stopped being mine.
347
00:31:53,623 --> 00:31:57,033
FDR ain�t given me my house back yet.
348
00:32:02,632 --> 00:32:05,133
Mama, why can�t I go to school?
349
00:32:05,168 --> 00:32:07,941
Is it because I�m a girl?
350
00:32:08,004 --> 00:32:11,448
Maybe. Hadn�t thought of that.
351
00:32:15,945 --> 00:32:18,923
Who�s that man at our house?
352
00:32:19,916 --> 00:32:22,121
Excuse me!
353
00:32:22,285 --> 00:32:24,490
Excuse me!
354
00:32:24,554 --> 00:32:28,055
- Can I help you?
- I�m sorry, lady. You�re past due.
355
00:32:28,124 --> 00:32:30,625
No. No, you can�t.
356
00:32:30,693 --> 00:32:32,898
You can�t. There�s kids.
357
00:32:33,463 --> 00:32:36,168
If I don�t, they let me go.
358
00:32:36,232 --> 00:32:39,039
- They already let two guys go.
- Please.
359
00:32:39,669 --> 00:32:43,772
This apartment is what we got left
that keeps us hangin� on.
360
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,716
Lady, I got kids too.
361
00:32:56,953 --> 00:32:59,192
$6.74.
362
00:32:59,255 --> 00:33:01,960
How much to turn it back on?
363
00:33:02,959 --> 00:33:05,403
Four months.
364
00:33:05,461 --> 00:33:07,632
$44.12.
365
00:33:12,869 --> 00:33:16,938
If I work 26 hours out of every 24,
it still won�t add up.
366
00:33:22,946 --> 00:33:26,515
We ain�t got nothing. Nothing left to sell.
367
00:33:31,754 --> 00:33:34,925
All the guys you could�ve married.
368
00:33:35,925 --> 00:33:39,869
Yeah. What happened to those guys?
369
00:34:00,950 --> 00:34:03,894
It�s Howard.
370
00:34:03,953 --> 00:34:06,488
Since this afternoon.
371
00:34:14,731 --> 00:34:16,766
Bless us, O Lord,
372
00:34:16,833 --> 00:34:21,436
and these thy gifts which
we are about to receive from thy bounty.
373
00:34:24,607 --> 00:34:26,710
Jim.
374
00:34:27,944 --> 00:34:29,922
I�m all prayed out.
375
00:34:49,432 --> 00:34:54,376
Where are you going?
I said where are you going?
376
00:34:54,804 --> 00:34:58,009
Go ahead, you no-good bastard!
377
00:34:58,074 --> 00:35:00,984
Go on, then! We don�t need you!
378
00:35:01,044 --> 00:35:04,613
All right. Help me.
Pick up some of that wood.
379
00:35:04,681 --> 00:35:07,557
- I got it, Mama.
- Let�s go, sweetheart.
380
00:35:15,291 --> 00:35:17,632
Nice and warm.
381
00:35:23,099 --> 00:35:25,099
Baby?
382
00:35:26,035 --> 00:35:27,376
Baby?
383
00:35:27,437 --> 00:35:29,938
Look at mommy.
384
00:35:34,344 --> 00:35:35,981
Sweet Lord.
385
00:35:44,654 --> 00:35:46,757
Mommy?
386
00:35:51,227 --> 00:35:53,898
What�s wrong?
387
00:35:54,931 --> 00:35:57,238
Nothing, sweetheart.
388
00:35:57,300 --> 00:36:00,176
Mommy will be right back, OK?
389
00:36:53,790 --> 00:36:56,529
Howard�s fever was getting worse,
390
00:36:56,592 --> 00:36:59,093
and then Rosy started to sneeze.
391
00:37:10,339 --> 00:37:13,681
- Where are they, Mae?
- Jimmy, we can�t even keep �em warm.
392
00:37:15,144 --> 00:37:17,554
Where are the kids?
393
00:37:17,613 --> 00:37:21,887
The boys�ll sleep on the sofa at my
father�s. Rosy�ll stay at my sister�s.
394
00:37:21,951 --> 00:37:23,622
Jimmy, we can�t keep �em.
395
00:37:23,686 --> 00:37:26,323
You don�t make decisions
about our children without me.
396
00:37:26,389 --> 00:37:29,367
What if they get really sick?
We already owe Dr. Macdonald...
397
00:37:29,425 --> 00:37:31,766
If we send �em away,
then all this is for nothing.
398
00:37:31,828 --> 00:37:34,067
- It�s just until...
- What else is it for?
399
00:37:34,130 --> 00:37:36,937
If we can�t stay together,
we�ve lost, we�ve given up!
400
00:37:36,999 --> 00:37:39,806
I am not giving up!
I am trying to protect our children!
401
00:37:39,869 --> 00:37:42,574
Mae, I promised him.
402
00:37:42,638 --> 00:37:44,945
Outside the butcher�s
I looked him in the eyes
403
00:37:45,041 --> 00:37:49,247
and I promised him with all my heart
I would never, ever send him away.
404
00:37:51,147 --> 00:37:54,523
- You can�t do this.
- You weren�t here.
405
00:37:55,284 --> 00:37:58,319
You can�t break my promise.
406
00:37:58,387 --> 00:38:02,490
Jim, you didn�t see. You weren�t here.
407
00:38:11,067 --> 00:38:13,238
I�m sorry.
408
00:38:16,873 --> 00:38:19,214
I�m sorry, Jimmy.
409
00:38:21,777 --> 00:38:24,516
What are you doing?
410
00:38:28,251 --> 00:38:30,490
Jim?
411
00:38:30,553 --> 00:38:32,792
Jimmy?
412
00:38:32,855 --> 00:38:35,492
Where are you goin�?
413
00:38:36,092 --> 00:38:38,229
Where are you goin�, Jimmy?
414
00:38:57,413 --> 00:39:00,152
That doesn�t qualify you, sir.
What else can you tell me?
415
00:39:00,216 --> 00:39:02,523
My wife is losing all of her teeth.
416
00:39:02,585 --> 00:39:06,859
I got a relief order for her, and the doctor
says it�s due to insufficient diet.
417
00:39:06,923 --> 00:39:11,695
She�s still nursing the baby on account
of we can�t afford milk for the family.
418
00:39:23,372 --> 00:39:25,713
I never thought I�d see you here, Jim.
419
00:40:25,968 --> 00:40:31,310
I want none of my fighters
going up against John Henry Lewis.
420
00:40:31,374 --> 00:40:34,784
None of �em. This guy�s an animal.
421
00:40:35,911 --> 00:40:41,049
Well, I gotta tell you, he jumped up,
kicked his stool out of the ring.
422
00:40:41,117 --> 00:40:45,459
He was furious.
He started to holler. I grabbed the mike...
423
00:40:51,427 --> 00:40:53,768
There�s Jimmy Braddock.
424
00:41:00,102 --> 00:41:03,944
The thing is, I can�t afford to...
425
00:41:04,006 --> 00:41:06,177
I can�t afford to pay the heat.
426
00:41:06,242 --> 00:41:08,549
I�ve had to farm out my kids.
427
00:41:09,412 --> 00:41:11,856
They keep cutting shifts down at the docks.
428
00:41:11,914 --> 00:41:14,892
You just don�t get picked every day.
429
00:41:17,553 --> 00:41:21,361
I sold everything I got
to anybody who would buy.
430
00:41:27,963 --> 00:41:32,964
I went on public assistance. I signed on at
the relief office. They gave me 19 dollars.
431
00:41:33,035 --> 00:41:38,936
I need another 18 dollars and 38 cents so
I can pay the bill and get the kids back.
432
00:41:42,511 --> 00:41:47,546
You know me well enough to know
if I had anywhere else to go,
433
00:41:47,650 --> 00:41:49,991
I wouldn�t be here.
434
00:41:53,222 --> 00:41:58,428
If you could help me through this time,
I sure would be grateful.
435
00:42:09,038 --> 00:42:11,880
Sure, Jim. Sure.
436
00:42:18,748 --> 00:42:21,021
Good luck.
437
00:42:21,083 --> 00:42:22,822
Jim.
438
00:42:26,589 --> 00:42:29,260
Jimmy.
439
00:42:57,353 --> 00:42:59,524
Here you go, Jim.
440
00:43:00,856 --> 00:43:02,925
Good luck, Jim.
441
00:43:23,913 --> 00:43:27,687
I�m sorry, Joe.
I didn�t... I�m sorry.
442
00:43:28,717 --> 00:43:31,752
What in the hell
do you have to be sorry about?
443
00:43:31,821 --> 00:43:33,924
Jesus Christ, Jim.
444
00:43:40,896 --> 00:43:43,567
How short are you?
445
00:43:54,376 --> 00:43:56,717
About a dollar fifty.
446
00:43:58,914 --> 00:44:00,085
OK.
447
00:44:02,318 --> 00:44:06,728
- We�re home! We�re home!
- We�re finally home!
448
00:44:09,458 --> 00:44:11,561
Good.
449
00:44:18,133 --> 00:44:20,474
Hey, all right.
450
00:44:20,536 --> 00:44:22,946
Howard, don�t jump on the bed.
451
00:44:23,005 --> 00:44:26,540
Sorry, Mom. Read to me, Jay.
452
00:44:26,609 --> 00:44:28,678
On his way up and down the stair,
453
00:44:28,744 --> 00:44:32,915
he often paused to sniff,
but he never asked for anything...
454
00:44:37,186 --> 00:44:40,793
Happy birthday to you
455
00:44:41,194 --> 00:44:44,294
Happy birthday to you
456
00:44:44,660 --> 00:44:49,036
- Happy birthday, dear Howard
- Junior!
457
00:44:49,098 --> 00:44:51,042
- Sarah!
- Jean!
458
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:55,010
Happy birthday to you
459
00:44:55,070 --> 00:44:57,377
- Make a wish, kids.
- Blow!
460
00:45:02,645 --> 00:45:06,453
Howard, come on. They�re gonna
cut the cake up. You gotta line up.
461
00:45:07,049 --> 00:45:11,152
- Looking forward to some chocolate cake?
- I liked it better when we had our own.
462
00:45:11,220 --> 00:45:12,993
I can understand that.
463
00:45:16,525 --> 00:45:18,469
- Hiya, Howard.
- Hi.
464
00:45:18,961 --> 00:45:21,939
Did your dad ever tell you
I used to spar with him?
465
00:45:21,997 --> 00:45:25,202
- You hit the Father?
- As often as I possibly could.
466
00:45:25,267 --> 00:45:27,643
He was kind of tricky, though.
Hard to catch.
467
00:45:27,703 --> 00:45:29,613
Go and get some cake. Go on.
468
00:45:30,706 --> 00:45:33,207
Missed you at Mass, Jimmy.
469
00:45:33,275 --> 00:45:36,117
I can get an extra shift on a Sunday.
470
00:45:36,178 --> 00:45:38,951
- James.
- Excuse me.
471
00:45:39,014 --> 00:45:42,356
Every day, fix the world.
How about fixing your family?
472
00:45:42,418 --> 00:45:46,885
What kind of father�s too proud to cross the
street �cause she can�t have her own cake?
473
00:45:46,989 --> 00:45:49,262
You�re drunk at church, for Christ�s sake.
474
00:45:49,291 --> 00:45:52,792
- Is that a joke, Sara?
- I�m just saying it�s enough!
475
00:45:52,861 --> 00:45:56,737
- Hey, guys, where�s the ref?
- Stay out of it. It�s between man and wife.
476
00:45:56,799 --> 00:46:00,107
- How do you even call yourself that?
- What�d you say to me?
477
00:46:00,169 --> 00:46:02,545
- Get off me.
- A couple of drinks, no harm in that.
478
00:46:02,604 --> 00:46:05,980
All washed up, can�t get a fight.
Well, you wanna fight me?
479
00:46:06,041 --> 00:46:08,280
Don�t do this. I ain�t got no beef with you.
480
00:46:08,344 --> 00:46:11,447
Come on! Can�t make it in the ring?
481
00:46:11,513 --> 00:46:14,423
Come on, Braddock!
I could take your head off. Come on!
482
00:46:14,483 --> 00:46:16,984
Jim, no!
483
00:46:17,052 --> 00:46:20,689
- You OK, baby? You OK?
- Get off me.
484
00:46:20,756 --> 00:46:23,495
Go to hell. The both of you.
485
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:25,900
Jesus, Jim. He wasn�t gonna hit me.
486
00:46:28,063 --> 00:46:30,507
Mike! Wait!
487
00:46:40,776 --> 00:46:44,220
What it�s all about is
rotating your body behind your fist. Bang.
488
00:46:44,279 --> 00:46:46,450
That�s right. Right in the kisser, yeah.
489
00:46:46,548 --> 00:46:48,287
Boom.
490
00:46:48,317 --> 00:46:50,295
There you go. Yeah.
491
00:46:50,352 --> 00:46:53,296
There you go. Good girl.
492
00:46:53,355 --> 00:46:55,799
You got a better jab than your dad.
493
00:46:57,226 --> 00:47:01,193
- Boy, you are a brave man.
- Not really. Mae�s at the store.
494
00:47:02,231 --> 00:47:06,005
- That�s a good one, kiddo.
- Wanna go play while I talk to Uncle Joe?
495
00:47:09,338 --> 00:47:11,145
Joe Gould.
496
00:47:11,206 --> 00:47:16,275
- Still looking dapper, I see.
- Certainly. Gotta keep up appearances.
497
00:47:17,079 --> 00:47:20,182
- Good to see you, Jimmy.
- Nice to see you, Joe.
498
00:47:21,116 --> 00:47:23,560
Well, nice day.
499
00:47:23,619 --> 00:47:25,790
Yeah.
500
00:47:27,222 --> 00:47:30,098
You drove all the way out here
to talk about the weather?
501
00:47:30,526 --> 00:47:34,493
Maybe I was in the neighborhood.
You ever think of that? A little fresh air.
502
00:47:34,563 --> 00:47:37,905
Joe, this is Jersey.
503
00:47:38,901 --> 00:47:41,743
Yeah. Good point. Yeah.
504
00:47:43,105 --> 00:47:44,878
Good point.
505
00:47:45,741 --> 00:47:48,151
I got you a fight.
506
00:47:48,210 --> 00:47:50,847
- Go to hell.
- Come on. You want it, don�t you?
507
00:47:50,913 --> 00:47:53,254
Are we gonna tell
the Boxing Commission or not?
508
00:47:53,315 --> 00:47:56,725
Yes. And they�ll sanction it.
This one fight and one fight only.
509
00:47:56,785 --> 00:48:01,025
- It�s not a comeback. It�s just one fight.
- Why?
510
00:48:01,090 --> 00:48:03,897
- �Cause of who you�re fighting.
- How much?
511
00:48:03,959 --> 00:48:06,232
- Just ask me who you�re fighting.
- How much?
512
00:48:06,295 --> 00:48:10,603
250 dollars. You�re on at the big show
at the Garden tomorrow night.
513
00:48:10,666 --> 00:48:15,201
You fight Corn Griffin, Jimmy. Number two
heavyweight contender in the world.
514
00:48:15,270 --> 00:48:18,475
- Prelim before the championship bout.
- Joe, this ain�t funny.
515
00:48:18,540 --> 00:48:23,746
No, it�s not. And it ain�t no favor either.
Griffin�s opponent got cut and can�t fight.
516
00:48:23,812 --> 00:48:28,620
We had to find somebody they could throw
in at a day�s notice. Nobody legit would...
517
00:48:30,652 --> 00:48:33,857
Nobody would take a fight with Griffin
without training.
518
00:48:34,590 --> 00:48:36,659
So I told them...
519
00:48:36,725 --> 00:48:41,669
use the angle Griffin�s gonna knock
out a guy who�s never been knocked out.
520
00:48:41,730 --> 00:48:43,901
You�re meat, Jimmy.
521
00:48:43,966 --> 00:48:46,876
- Are you on the level, Joe?
- Come on. Always.
522
00:48:47,302 --> 00:48:51,337
- For 250 dollars, I would fight your wife.
- Now you�re dreaming.
523
00:48:51,406 --> 00:48:53,782
- And your grandmother.
- Teeth in or teeth out?
524
00:48:53,842 --> 00:48:56,377
- Take �em out.
- Then you�re dead. Down, gone.
525
00:48:56,445 --> 00:48:59,446
- 250 bucks?
- 250 bananas. Come here.
526
00:49:03,085 --> 00:49:05,461
Programs here.
527
00:49:06,788 --> 00:49:10,994
Programs here.
45 cents. Programs here.
528
00:49:11,059 --> 00:49:13,003
I mean, for Christ�s sake.
529
00:49:13,061 --> 00:49:15,766
A hundred and something fights,
you never been knocked out.
530
00:49:15,831 --> 00:49:18,332
Who the hell
goes and sells his gear?
531
00:49:18,367 --> 00:49:21,277
80 fights as a pro, 50 as an amateur.
532
00:49:21,336 --> 00:49:24,075
How soon they forget.
I�m so sorry.
533
00:49:24,139 --> 00:49:28,379
Borrowed gear, borrowed robe.
Knock yourself out.
534
00:49:29,378 --> 00:49:31,879
Hey, Joe.
535
00:49:34,583 --> 00:49:39,027
You know, I might as well get an
Aooga horn and chase him round the ring.
536
00:49:39,788 --> 00:49:41,595
That�s good.
537
00:49:41,657 --> 00:49:44,601
- You been drinking?
- Are you trying to hurt my feelings?
538
00:49:44,660 --> 00:49:48,127
Well, you�re just too loose.
You�re spooking me. Sharpen up.
539
00:49:48,197 --> 00:49:51,368
Come on, Joe.
We both know what this is, right?
540
00:49:52,334 --> 00:49:55,801
I get to put a little more distance
between my kids and the street
541
00:49:55,871 --> 00:49:59,576
and I get to say goodbye at the Garden.
542
00:50:00,576 --> 00:50:02,713
Full house, night of a big fight.
543
00:50:03,645 --> 00:50:05,748
Thank you very much.
544
00:50:05,814 --> 00:50:07,814
Right, come on. Hurry up.
545
00:50:07,883 --> 00:50:10,088
Let�s get the lead out here.
546
00:50:12,654 --> 00:50:15,393
What the hell was that?
547
00:50:15,650 --> 00:50:19,958
- They ran out of soup on the line.
- Ran out of soup on the line?
548
00:50:20,021 --> 00:50:22,828
How the hell are you supposed to fight
on an empty stomach?
549
00:50:23,258 --> 00:50:24,792
Good evening.
550
00:50:24,859 --> 00:50:29,803
Welcome to tonight�s broadcast
of the Primo Camera/Max Baer fight
551
00:50:29,864 --> 00:50:32,637
for the heavyweight championship
of the world.
552
00:50:32,700 --> 00:50:35,041
Hash is all they had, OK?
553
00:50:35,103 --> 00:50:37,604
- Eat. Quick.
- You got a spoon?
554
00:50:37,639 --> 00:50:40,481
For Christ�s sake. It�s not there?
We gotta go anyway.
555
00:50:40,542 --> 00:50:43,918
- One bite, Joe. I�ll eat it with my fingers.
- Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey!
556
00:50:43,978 --> 00:50:49,150
I don�t have time to retape you.
Just sit tight and I�ll find you a spoon.
557
00:50:50,585 --> 00:50:52,256
For Christ�s sake.
558
00:51:03,465 --> 00:51:05,966
Is that a ghost I�m seeing?
An apparition?
559
00:51:06,034 --> 00:51:09,774
Or is that James J. Braddock,
the Bulldog of Bergen?
560
00:51:09,838 --> 00:51:12,111
How you feeling, Jimmy?
How�s that right hand?
561
00:51:12,173 --> 00:51:14,674
Braddock, you�re up.
562
00:51:19,047 --> 00:51:22,787
- Sporty Lewis. How you doing?
- How you doing?
563
00:51:24,085 --> 00:51:27,688
July 18, 1929.
564
00:51:28,523 --> 00:51:30,228
New York Herald.
565
00:51:31,759 --> 00:51:34,760
Proving he was too young and too green
566
00:51:34,829 --> 00:51:37,034
and rushed to the top,
567
00:51:38,032 --> 00:51:41,306
Loughran wiped the ring
with the Bulldog�s career.
568
00:51:41,369 --> 00:51:44,245
A sad and somber funeral,
569
00:51:44,305 --> 00:51:47,306
with the body still breathing.
570
00:51:47,408 --> 00:51:50,318
I don�t fight the fights, Jimmy.
I just write about �em.
571
00:51:50,345 --> 00:51:54,016
Sporty, save the crap for the customers.
572
00:52:04,893 --> 00:52:08,894
- Who�s Jim Braddock?
- Get your pencil out. I got your lead line.
573
00:52:08,963 --> 00:52:11,736
I�m not kidding. Write this down.
574
00:52:11,799 --> 00:52:17,769
The walk from the locker room to the ring
was the only time tonight Jim Braddock...
575
00:52:17,939 --> 00:52:21,849
- Looking good, Jimmy!
- was seen on his feet. You got that?
576
00:52:21,910 --> 00:52:25,252
Before the championship baffle,
we�ll bring you a special bout,
577
00:52:25,313 --> 00:52:28,882
featuring Charlie Harvey�s
soldier boy, Corn Griffin.
578
00:52:28,950 --> 00:52:33,087
Griffin is the fella that ran rings
around the champion Camera in training.
579
00:52:33,154 --> 00:52:37,291
His opponent? Looks like they dug
old Jim Braddock out of retirement
580
00:52:37,358 --> 00:52:39,358
for one more fight.
581
00:52:39,427 --> 00:52:40,927
Mike.
582
00:52:40,995 --> 00:52:43,098
- What?
- Isn�t that your buddy?
583
00:52:44,098 --> 00:52:46,599
In this corner...
584
00:52:47,869 --> 00:52:53,711
the sensational heavyweight slugger
from Fort Benning, Georgia,
585
00:52:54,242 --> 00:52:58,050
who�s punching a path to
the top of the division,
586
00:52:58,112 --> 00:53:00,954
John Corn Griffin.
587
00:53:01,683 --> 00:53:03,627
Corn Griffin.
588
00:53:04,485 --> 00:53:08,759
His opponent, the popular battler
589
00:53:08,823 --> 00:53:13,631
who has never been KO�d
in more than 80 professional bouts...
590
00:53:13,695 --> 00:53:16,105
- Quincy, beer. We got a fight.
- Coming right up.
591
00:53:16,164 --> 00:53:19,108
...from North Bergen, New Jersey,
592
00:53:19,167 --> 00:53:21,440
James J. Braddock.
593
00:53:21,970 --> 00:53:25,141
Braddock!
594
00:53:29,077 --> 00:53:30,077
Yeah!
595
00:53:47,895 --> 00:53:51,669
The skinny from ringside
is that Braddock won�t last two rounds.
596
00:53:51,733 --> 00:53:54,040
Griffin is the five-to-one favorite.
597
00:53:54,102 --> 00:53:56,671
Joe Gould claims
Braddock�s right hand is fine.
598
00:53:56,738 --> 00:53:58,773
Jimmy will need two good hands tonight.
599
00:54:04,579 --> 00:54:08,387
Griffin storms out of his corner.
Things are up-tempo right away.
600
00:54:11,219 --> 00:54:13,356
Come on, Braddock. Make a fight of it.
601
00:54:20,695 --> 00:54:22,673
Get out of it, Jimmy!
602
00:54:23,731 --> 00:54:26,436
Braddock takes a left to the body
and a right to the head.
603
00:54:26,501 --> 00:54:28,877
Braddock giving ground now.
604
00:54:31,606 --> 00:54:33,641
Get out of there, Jimmy!
605
00:54:39,047 --> 00:54:43,048
- And Braddock is down!
- Shut up. I wanna hear this. Shut up.
606
00:54:43,117 --> 00:54:47,254
Jim? You�re fine, you�re fine, you�re fine.
Stay down. Stay down.
607
00:54:55,930 --> 00:54:59,101
- One. Two.
- Stay down. What�s the hurry?
608
00:54:59,167 --> 00:55:02,736
- Three.
- Hey, listen! Work the left. Try two lefts.
609
00:55:03,271 --> 00:55:05,544
Give him two lefts. Pop, pop.
610
00:55:05,606 --> 00:55:07,413
- Double it up.
- Seven.
611
00:55:07,475 --> 00:55:11,010
- Up, up, up, up. Let�s go.
- Eight. Nine.
612
00:55:11,079 --> 00:55:13,750
- Braddock, up at nine.
- Yeah! Come on, Jimmy!
613
00:55:14,649 --> 00:55:16,956
Referee waving Griffin in.
614
00:55:18,286 --> 00:55:21,093
Move in on that! Nice move!
615
00:55:27,395 --> 00:55:30,032
Welcome to New York.
616
00:55:31,733 --> 00:55:34,234
That�s more like it. Let me see that cut.
617
00:55:34,302 --> 00:55:36,337
You look great.
618
00:55:36,404 --> 00:55:38,973
It sure as hell beats working on the docks.
619
00:55:40,842 --> 00:55:46,743
Say, the two jabs look sensational, they
look sweet! He�s loading up on you, see?
620
00:55:46,914 --> 00:55:50,153
He opens up after you jab,
and you gotta come in with the right.
621
00:55:50,218 --> 00:55:52,253
Real quick. Pop, pop. Bang.
622
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,559
But you gotta stop
some of those left hands.
623
00:55:55,623 --> 00:55:57,896
See any gettin� past my head?
624
00:55:57,959 --> 00:55:59,959
Keep moving. Pop, pop, bang.
625
00:56:02,930 --> 00:56:07,567
Griffin is still winging big shots.
He wants to be the first to stop Braddock.
626
00:56:09,804 --> 00:56:14,976
Another big right hand.
Snapped Griffin�s head back with that one.
627
00:56:16,310 --> 00:56:18,913
Griffin loading up.
628
00:56:21,015 --> 00:56:24,220
- Move out!
- Another big flurry by Griffin.
629
00:56:24,285 --> 00:56:29,525
Braddock hanging tough.
But, folks, he is taking a beating.
630
00:56:30,258 --> 00:56:33,827
That�s two rounds more
than I thought he was gonna go.
631
00:56:33,895 --> 00:56:37,237
He�s a half a step behind you.
Do you feel that? Pop, pop, bang.
632
00:56:37,298 --> 00:56:40,867
- Stick with it. Stick with it.
- Busy, busy.
633
00:56:42,403 --> 00:56:45,176
Six minutes of fury so far.
634
00:56:45,273 --> 00:56:49,308
Braddock has the look of a man
trying to hold back an avalanche.
635
00:56:51,045 --> 00:56:55,989
Griffin cuts him with the left.
Braddock is stepping in postholes.
636
00:56:57,051 --> 00:56:58,892
Keep him in front of you!
637
00:57:00,922 --> 00:57:02,593
Lure him in, Jim.
638
00:57:02,657 --> 00:57:05,294
Jimmy�s finally moving his head.
639
00:57:06,093 --> 00:57:07,696
Pick your spot.
640
00:57:12,500 --> 00:57:14,069
Pop, pop - now!
641
00:57:16,704 --> 00:57:18,375
Griffin is down!
642
00:57:23,578 --> 00:57:26,488
Where the hell have you been,
Jimmy Braddock?
643
00:57:26,547 --> 00:57:30,184
One. Two. Three.
644
00:57:30,251 --> 00:57:34,320
He�s up at three.
The referee wipes his gloves.
645
00:57:41,229 --> 00:57:44,332
That�s it! That�s it! No daylight!
646
00:57:44,832 --> 00:57:46,503
Take it to him!
647
00:57:46,567 --> 00:57:50,375
- Another big right by Braddock.
- Finish him, Jim!
648
00:57:57,211 --> 00:57:59,950
Knock him back to the goddamn Ozarks!
649
00:58:02,250 --> 00:58:04,751
Griffin is ready to go!
650
00:58:05,753 --> 00:58:07,822
Break it up.
651
00:58:07,889 --> 00:58:09,458
Get back.
652
00:58:10,958 --> 00:58:13,959
Get back to your corner.
653
00:58:17,365 --> 00:58:19,036
Jimmy!
654
00:58:21,936 --> 00:58:24,709
This fight is over! This is incredible!
655
00:58:24,772 --> 00:58:27,773
Corn Griffin,
the number two contender in the world
656
00:58:27,842 --> 00:58:31,616
has just been knocked out
by Jim Braddock in the third round.
657
00:58:31,679 --> 00:58:34,020
- What an upset!
- You son of a...!
658
00:58:34,081 --> 00:58:37,423
It�s pandemonium here in the Garden.
659
00:58:44,725 --> 00:58:47,226
Settle down, for Christ�s sake!
660
00:58:49,196 --> 00:58:51,401
Jesus H. Christ.
661
00:58:51,465 --> 00:58:54,238
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
662
00:58:54,302 --> 00:58:58,905
Mary Magdalene, all the saints
and mothers and... Jesus!
663
00:58:58,973 --> 00:59:03,110
Did I say Jesus?
Where the hell did that come from?
664
00:59:03,177 --> 00:59:06,985
When my hand was broken, I had to work
down the docks and I had to use my left.
665
00:59:07,048 --> 00:59:10,515
- So... Well, no, that and luck.
- Luck?
666
00:59:10,584 --> 00:59:14,187
- Sheer, dumb-ass Irish luck.
- Don�t give me that luck of the Irish crap.
667
00:59:14,255 --> 00:59:17,631
Lucky? That�s something you ain�t been
in a long time, brother.
668
00:59:17,692 --> 00:59:19,863
- Everybody�s due.
- Due or not, I�ll take it.
669
00:59:19,927 --> 00:59:22,928
You had the left.
The left - but you were bouncy.
670
00:59:22,997 --> 00:59:25,498
You were bouncy.
You went: pop, pop, bang!
671
00:59:25,566 --> 00:59:26,771
Pop, pop, bang!
672
00:59:26,834 --> 00:59:29,244
Unbelievable. Pop, pop, slide.
673
00:59:29,303 --> 00:59:32,940
- Sliding, slipping. You were like a cat.
- I did that on hash.
674
00:59:33,007 --> 00:59:37,883
Imagine what I would�ve done to him
if I�d had a couple of steaks.
675
00:59:37,945 --> 00:59:40,616
Jimmy?
676
00:59:40,681 --> 00:59:43,057
That was one hell of a goodbye.
677
00:59:49,223 --> 00:59:51,724
Here you go, fellas.
678
01:00:22,323 --> 01:00:24,562
Jesus Christ.
679
01:00:28,329 --> 01:00:30,432
Murder him, Maxie!
680
01:00:33,934 --> 01:00:38,606
This is fighting? Why doesn�t he
just hit him with a goddamn chair?
681
01:00:41,008 --> 01:00:43,509
Griffin was supposed to fight Baer next.
682
01:00:43,544 --> 01:00:47,045
He should kiss your ass
for saving him from that thing.
683
01:01:07,935 --> 01:01:10,572
Throw him down, Maxie!
684
01:01:10,638 --> 01:01:12,979
Give it to him, Maxie!
685
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:31,560
Ladies and gentlemen, the new
heavyweight champion of the world -
686
01:01:31,625 --> 01:01:33,898
Max Baer!
687
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,450
Come on. He�s home.
688
01:02:16,303 --> 01:02:18,303
I won.
689
01:02:20,541 --> 01:02:23,110
I knew you�d win!
690
01:02:24,111 --> 01:02:27,282
- I knew you�d win!
- You won, you won, you won!
691
01:02:30,851 --> 01:02:33,192
Get the silverware.
692
01:02:33,254 --> 01:02:38,323
So, was it like you said?
Or are they letting you back in?
693
01:02:40,928 --> 01:02:43,235
No, baby. It was just one fight.
694
01:02:56,343 --> 01:03:00,810
- Jake! Jake!
- I need seven men, and seven only.
695
01:03:00,881 --> 01:03:03,882
One. Two.
696
01:03:03,951 --> 01:03:06,054
Three.
697
01:03:09,390 --> 01:03:11,766
Four. Five.
698
01:03:14,395 --> 01:03:16,771
Thanks.
699
01:03:16,830 --> 01:03:18,637
Braddock!
700
01:03:24,838 --> 01:03:28,543
Listened in last night. Was that really you?
701
01:03:30,444 --> 01:03:33,354
- Yeah.
- Didn�t think I�d be seeing you back here.
702
01:03:33,414 --> 01:03:36,756
It came up at the last minute, you know?
It was a one-fight deal.
703
01:03:36,817 --> 01:03:40,693
The purse was $250. My end of that
was a little less than half. It was $123.
704
01:03:40,754 --> 01:03:43,425
We owed $118. Left me with five bucks.
705
01:03:43,490 --> 01:03:46,161
- Makes you a rich man.
- Around here.
706
01:03:46,227 --> 01:03:48,728
- Good fight.
- Thanks.
707
01:03:48,796 --> 01:03:50,296
- Dock seven.
- Seven.
708
01:03:56,537 --> 01:03:59,379
- Hey, Jim.
- Hey, Mike.
709
01:04:04,111 --> 01:04:06,248
- Good fight.
- Thanks.
710
01:04:11,318 --> 01:04:14,523
- I wouldn�t have hit Sara.
- I know, Mike.
711
01:04:14,588 --> 01:04:18,532
I couldn�t live with myself
if I�d have hit her.
712
01:04:19,326 --> 01:04:22,463
I just get so angry with all this shit.
713
01:04:25,332 --> 01:04:29,299
You know, if you were gonna win,
you could�ve told me.
714
01:04:29,370 --> 01:04:32,246
If I knew I was gonna win,
I would�ve bet on myself.
715
01:04:32,306 --> 01:04:36,409
- Why can�t you ever listen to me, huh?
- I don�t know.
716
01:04:36,477 --> 01:04:41,717
...to determine whether the strikers
were willing to submit to arbitration...
717
01:04:46,287 --> 01:04:49,890
Why don�t you go play with the boys,
sweetheart? Be careful.
718
01:04:51,659 --> 01:04:53,830
- Hey, Rosy.
- Hi, Daddy.
719
01:04:53,894 --> 01:04:57,236
Beep beep! Vroom, vroom.
720
01:04:59,333 --> 01:05:02,743
You know, Joe Gould was just here.
721
01:05:02,803 --> 01:05:04,906
- Yeah, I saw him.
- You did?
722
01:05:07,274 --> 01:05:13,741
He thinks the commission might be
willing to reverse their ruling.
723
01:05:13,814 --> 01:05:16,553
He thinks he can get me another fight.
724
01:05:16,617 --> 01:05:20,152
He wants me to stop working
and get back in shape.
725
01:05:21,155 --> 01:05:24,292
I thought it was just the one fight.
726
01:05:24,358 --> 01:05:26,461
Well, yeah.
727
01:05:29,797 --> 01:05:33,798
He fronted us 175 dollars so I can train.
728
01:05:36,103 --> 01:05:39,979
Know what that is right there?
That�s a second chance.
729
01:05:40,974 --> 01:05:43,475
That�s what that is.
730
01:05:46,046 --> 01:05:48,319
It�s not that I�m not grateful,
731
01:05:48,382 --> 01:05:50,985
or proud.
732
01:05:51,051 --> 01:05:54,052
I am. I�m so proud of you.
733
01:05:55,556 --> 01:05:58,659
But we got off easy
when you broke that hand.
734
01:05:59,660 --> 01:06:01,763
We�re back to even now.
735
01:06:01,829 --> 01:06:04,568
And nine months from now
we�ll be back in the same boat.
736
01:06:04,631 --> 01:06:08,075
Baby, please.
We just don�t have anything left to risk.
737
01:06:08,135 --> 01:06:10,408
Hey, hey.
738
01:06:11,472 --> 01:06:15,007
There�s still some juice in these legs
and I can still take a few.
739
01:06:15,075 --> 01:06:17,610
Baby, please.
740
01:06:18,979 --> 01:06:21,320
Just let me take �em in the ring.
741
01:06:21,382 --> 01:06:24,224
At least I�d know who was hitting me.
742
01:06:40,100 --> 01:06:42,771
I�m gonna go tell the kids.
743
01:06:42,836 --> 01:06:46,041
- Jay. Guess what.
- What?
744
01:06:46,106 --> 01:06:48,675
- I got another fight.
- Who with?
745
01:06:48,742 --> 01:06:53,243
I don�t know, but he�s goin� down.
Hey, Howard!
746
01:07:30,551 --> 01:07:32,392
Jesus.
747
01:07:33,921 --> 01:07:36,126
Joe, open the door.
748
01:07:37,991 --> 01:07:40,435
Joe, open the damn door.
749
01:07:40,494 --> 01:07:42,995
Don�t hide in your fancy apartment.
750
01:07:43,063 --> 01:07:45,768
I want to talk to you.
751
01:07:45,833 --> 01:07:49,743
You are not gonna make my husband
your punching bag all over again.
752
01:07:49,803 --> 01:07:54,872
We are just gettin� by and you take him
from his work like a bloodsucking leech.
753
01:07:54,942 --> 01:08:00,080
And I will not let you get him hurt again like that.
Do you hear me? I will not let you.
754
01:08:03,584 --> 01:08:06,085
I guess you�d better come in.
755
01:08:17,231 --> 01:08:20,732
- How is it?
- Too sweet. Per usual.
756
01:08:20,801 --> 01:08:22,938
Really? Go figure.
757
01:08:23,403 --> 01:08:25,938
- Yours?
- Nice, thanks.
758
01:08:27,875 --> 01:08:30,376
Sorry about that.
759
01:08:32,179 --> 01:08:35,646
Just don�t want folks
to see you down, that�s all.
760
01:08:35,716 --> 01:08:37,921
I didn�t know. I mean, I thought that...
761
01:08:37,985 --> 01:08:40,258
Yeah. That�s the idea.
762
01:08:41,188 --> 01:08:44,030
Always keep your hands up.
763
01:08:46,527 --> 01:08:48,061
So...
764
01:08:49,630 --> 01:08:54,097
Sold the last of it two days ago-
so Jimmy could train.
765
01:08:55,235 --> 01:08:57,440
Why?
766
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,479
Well...
767
01:09:02,543 --> 01:09:05,248
Sometimes you have an instinct, Mae.
768
01:09:05,746 --> 01:09:08,985
You see something in a fighter.
769
01:09:10,517 --> 01:09:14,461
You don�t even know if it�s real,
you�re looking for it so bad.
770
01:09:21,662 --> 01:09:24,469
Can�t have no hope at all.
771
01:09:24,531 --> 01:09:28,441
But this is crazy. I mean, you don�t even
know if you can get him a fight.
772
01:09:28,502 --> 01:09:32,878
I�ll get him a fight. Believe me, if it�s
the last thing I do, I�ll get him a fight.
773
01:09:32,940 --> 01:09:35,816
Honey. Go get us
some of those crackers, would you?
774
01:09:37,911 --> 01:09:41,253
She looks good wearing the pants.
775
01:09:54,394 --> 01:09:59,338
Can you ever stop yours?
When he sets his mind to a thing?
776
01:10:03,537 --> 01:10:05,640
I wish I could.
777
01:10:07,374 --> 01:10:11,216
See, I never know
who it�s harder on - them or us.
778
01:10:11,912 --> 01:10:15,481
We have to wait for them to fix everything.
779
01:10:17,084 --> 01:10:19,425
And every day...
780
01:10:21,521 --> 01:10:23,965
they feel like they�re failing us.
781
01:10:25,125 --> 01:10:29,365
Really, it�s just the world that�s failed,
you know.
782
01:10:34,368 --> 01:10:36,971
It�s a lovely apartment.
783
01:10:37,971 --> 01:10:39,971
Thank you.
784
01:10:42,142 --> 01:10:44,483
Now, what am I gonna go and do that for?
785
01:10:44,544 --> 01:10:49,147
You saw the papers. The News had to print
extra copies the day after Braddock�s fight.
786
01:10:49,216 --> 01:10:52,455
People are sentimental.
Some people are sentimental.
787
01:10:52,552 --> 01:10:55,655
Yeah? So tell me why I care.
788
01:10:55,689 --> 01:10:58,963
You�re still sore over the way
Braddock took down Griffin, fine.
789
01:10:59,026 --> 01:11:02,027
It was a heartbreak-
for a lot of people, yes.
790
01:11:02,095 --> 01:11:04,402
But look.
791
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:12,342
You got an elimination series over who
gets a shot at Baer for the championship.
792
01:11:12,406 --> 01:11:15,009
John Henry Lewis,
he�s your number two in line.
793
01:11:15,075 --> 01:11:19,144
Now, he already defeated Braddock
once in Frisco, correct?
794
01:11:19,212 --> 01:11:22,156
Say you put Braddock
back in the game against Lewis.
795
01:11:22,215 --> 01:11:24,784
Lewis wins, you get
your revenge on Braddock,
796
01:11:24,851 --> 01:11:28,693
and your boy gets a topflight tune-up
with full publicity before Lasky.
797
01:11:28,755 --> 01:11:31,096
And what happens? You make more money.
798
01:11:34,594 --> 01:11:38,561
Now, say on the other hand,
by some minute, infinitesimal chance,
799
01:11:38,632 --> 01:11:40,769
God forbid, Braddock beats Lewis,
800
01:11:40,834 --> 01:11:43,573
you got an old favorite
go up and lose against Lasky.
801
01:11:43,637 --> 01:11:46,876
And what happens?
You�ll make more money.
802
01:11:46,940 --> 01:11:52,544
James! Either way you�re a richer man with
Braddock back in the ring than if he�s not.
803
01:11:52,612 --> 01:11:56,681
Come on. Don�t be foolish.
We both know the name of this game.
804
01:11:57,684 --> 01:11:59,957
And it sure as hell ain�t pugilism.
805
01:12:12,232 --> 01:12:15,005
They oughta put your mouth in a circus.
806
01:12:16,002 --> 01:12:18,275
What do you say?
807
01:12:19,306 --> 01:12:22,648
Don�t chase him.
Go around. Cut him off.
808
01:12:22,709 --> 01:12:24,709
Time!
809
01:12:25,879 --> 01:12:27,982
- I got you a fight.
- Who?
810
01:12:28,048 --> 01:12:31,253
You�re gonna fight
John Henry Lewis again.
811
01:12:31,318 --> 01:12:35,421
- Joey! I could kiss you.
- Please, not in front of the fellas.
812
01:12:35,489 --> 01:12:39,797
- Ain�t John Henry one of Johnston�s boys?
- You let me worry about that, please.
813
01:12:39,860 --> 01:12:43,634
Now I know why you won�t kiss me.
You�re all puckered out already.
814
01:12:43,697 --> 01:12:48,505
- Brother, you have no idea.
- Lewis? Kicked our ass in Frisco.
815
01:12:49,569 --> 01:12:53,740
- Who�s this? Who�s our ass up here?
- Joe Gould, Mike Wilson. Mike, Joe.
816
01:12:53,807 --> 01:12:56,080
That guy ain�t been beat in ten fights.
817
01:12:56,143 --> 01:12:59,553
But you win on a long shot
and that�s a great payday for me.
818
01:13:00,113 --> 01:13:02,216
- That�s great.
- I�ll keep that in mind.
819
01:13:02,282 --> 01:13:05,817
You got more important things
to think about. Come here.
820
01:13:05,886 --> 01:13:10,796
Now, I ain�t gonna bullshit you, all right?
You win one, I can get you another.
821
01:13:10,857 --> 01:13:15,631
Win again, and then things maybe
start getting serious around here.
822
01:13:15,695 --> 01:13:17,502
Jimmy...
823
01:13:18,565 --> 01:13:20,565
Win.
824
01:13:39,586 --> 01:13:41,689
That�s it.
825
01:13:50,096 --> 01:13:54,768
That�s it, James. Be a bully, James.
Aggression. That�s it.
826
01:14:16,623 --> 01:14:18,260
Thanks.
827
01:14:20,327 --> 01:14:22,771
I know this isn�t what you wanted,
828
01:14:22,829 --> 01:14:25,739
but I can�t win without you behind me.
829
01:14:25,799 --> 01:14:28,743
I�m always behind you.
830
01:14:28,802 --> 01:14:30,905
Thank you, baby.
831
01:14:32,772 --> 01:14:35,477
I got a great idea.
Want to come along?
832
01:14:35,542 --> 01:14:38,043
Come on. Just this once?
All right, all right.
833
01:14:38,111 --> 01:14:41,680
OK, OK.
I�ll make that a rain check, then.
834
01:15:09,242 --> 01:15:11,811
Lewis still moving well here in the fourth.
835
01:15:12,512 --> 01:15:15,183
He dances in and out
before Braddock can react.
836
01:15:18,518 --> 01:15:21,689
Don�t let him set the pace, Jimmy.
837
01:15:23,723 --> 01:15:25,860
There you go, there you go.
838
01:15:28,461 --> 01:15:32,030
Braddock slides to his right,
tries cutting down the ring.
839
01:15:41,508 --> 01:15:44,009
- Knock him out, knock him out.
- Braddock!
840
01:15:44,044 --> 01:15:49,284
Lewis spins his way up the ropes
and looks to resume control at the bell.
841
01:15:50,917 --> 01:15:55,361
There we go. Suck it up, suck it up.
Deep breath, deep breath.
842
01:15:55,422 --> 01:15:58,866
- Breathe, breathe.
- He�s even faster than I remember.
843
01:15:58,925 --> 01:16:02,028
Yeah, yeah. He�s fast.
Big deal. You�re not so bad yourself.
844
01:16:02,095 --> 01:16:04,664
What are you doin�?
You beat this guy easy last time.
845
01:16:04,731 --> 01:16:06,072
He ain�t the same guy.
846
01:16:06,132 --> 01:16:09,303
Use your speed. Keep that jab
in his face and slide to his right.
847
01:16:09,369 --> 01:16:12,506
You see that? Keep him in front of you,
cut him off. Right?
848
01:16:12,572 --> 01:16:15,743
And let go with the punches.
Hit him. He ain�t gonna like it.
849
01:16:15,809 --> 01:16:20,276
I guarantee you, the more you hit
this bastard, the slower he�s gonna get.
850
01:16:20,347 --> 01:16:22,984
He�s an old man, he�s slow.
He can�t keep up with you.
851
01:16:23,049 --> 01:16:25,152
- How�s that cut?
- He�s all right.
852
01:16:25,218 --> 01:16:28,958
Knock the legs out from under him.
Trap him in the corner and work him.
853
01:16:29,022 --> 01:16:33,091
Do not fight this fight his way.
You make him fight this fight your way.
854
01:16:33,159 --> 01:16:35,830
Let�s go. You got him, you got him.
855
01:16:38,231 --> 01:16:40,231
A left to the body, a right to the head.
856
01:16:40,300 --> 01:16:46,176
A left-right-left by Lewis. His dancing
shoes are off. It�s a fight now, folks.
857
01:16:46,940 --> 01:16:50,316
- Work his body!
- Punching well with both hands now.
858
01:16:50,377 --> 01:16:53,548
Toe-to-toe. No one giving an inch.
859
01:16:56,149 --> 01:16:58,422
That left has some pop!
860
01:16:58,485 --> 01:17:01,952
Jimmy�s hoping those body shots
will pay dividends.
861
01:17:02,022 --> 01:17:04,398
Keep him in there! Stay with it!
862
01:17:06,126 --> 01:17:08,933
Don�t give him any room. No room!
863
01:17:09,963 --> 01:17:13,271
- Outta the corner!
- Braddock pushing all the action now.
864
01:17:13,333 --> 01:17:17,175
Lewis can�t discourage him.
Tremendous pressure from Jimmy.
865
01:17:17,237 --> 01:17:21,113
Lewis is running out of real estate
in this 24-foot ring.
866
01:17:21,174 --> 01:17:23,743
Jump on him!
867
01:17:23,810 --> 01:17:25,617
And Lewis is down.
868
01:17:29,516 --> 01:17:31,426
Gotcha. Good boy.
869
01:17:33,853 --> 01:17:35,990
- One.
- Getup.
870
01:17:36,056 --> 01:17:37,761
- Two.
- Come on. Come on.
871
01:17:37,824 --> 01:17:40,325
Three.
872
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,531
Four.
873
01:17:42,595 --> 01:17:44,971
Five.
874
01:17:45,031 --> 01:17:47,304
Six.
875
01:17:50,537 --> 01:17:53,208
The referee wipes his gloves.
Braddock steams back in.
876
01:17:53,273 --> 01:17:55,649
Close it down!
877
01:17:55,708 --> 01:18:01,243
A big right by Braddock. Lewis is a piece
of meat and Braddock is carving him up.
878
01:18:02,782 --> 01:18:07,192
Braddock is now dominating Lewis.
Here comes Jimmy!
879
01:18:19,199 --> 01:18:21,575
Side to side. Side to side.
880
01:18:21,634 --> 01:18:25,840
In the tenth, riding high after his
dazzling victory over John Henry Lewis,
881
01:18:25,905 --> 01:18:29,508
Jim Braddock has just hit a wall
named Art Lasky.
882
01:18:32,145 --> 01:18:37,680
- He can�t keep taking those body shots.
- He�s cracked a couple of ribs for sure.
883
01:18:38,785 --> 01:18:42,525
Lasky walks through those jabs
and keeps working on Braddock�s body.
884
01:18:42,589 --> 01:18:48,034
Braddock won�t fold. He�s making Lasky
work hard for every minute of every round.
885
01:18:48,094 --> 01:18:50,867
That�s it. Get on him.
886
01:19:02,408 --> 01:19:04,784
Lasky�s starting to impose his will,
887
01:19:04,844 --> 01:19:09,845
showing why Johnston is making noises
about matching him with Baer for the title.
888
01:19:13,853 --> 01:19:16,263
Break it up.
889
01:19:17,223 --> 01:19:19,564
Break clean.
890
01:19:26,966 --> 01:19:29,171
Don�t sit down. You�re not tired.
You�re fine.
891
01:19:29,235 --> 01:19:31,576
Get that thing outta here.
He don�t need it.
892
01:19:32,005 --> 01:19:34,983
Is he looking over?
Shake your head like you don�t need it.
893
01:19:35,041 --> 01:19:37,985
Shake your head
like you don�t want it. Yeah.
894
01:19:38,044 --> 01:19:40,920
- Why isn�t he sittin� down?
- Pay attention.
895
01:19:40,980 --> 01:19:44,924
Now he�ll wonder: If Braddock is
such an old man, why�s he still standing?
896
01:19:44,984 --> 01:19:47,621
Why�s he still coming at me?
897
01:19:47,687 --> 01:19:51,222
You�re stronger than this guy.
Don�t back up, don�t back off!
898
01:19:51,824 --> 01:19:56,132
This guy is a bull-rusher. He�ll keep
coming at you all night, until you stop him.
899
01:19:56,196 --> 01:19:59,231
He can�t back up. You stop him.
900
01:19:59,299 --> 01:20:03,709
You gotta beat this son of a bitch
from the inside out!
901
01:20:03,770 --> 01:20:05,873
You hear me? You gotta get in there.
902
01:20:05,939 --> 01:20:09,542
You get in there and hit him
and keep hitting until you break his nose.
903
01:20:09,609 --> 01:20:11,712
You fill his face with blood.
904
01:20:12,679 --> 01:20:15,953
Beat him from the inside out, Jim,
from the inside out!
905
01:20:16,516 --> 01:20:20,790
Lasky continues to fire. Braddock
looks like he�s finally starting to wilt.
906
01:20:20,853 --> 01:20:23,990
That�s it. That�s more like it.
907
01:20:24,924 --> 01:20:26,424
Back him up.
908
01:20:28,194 --> 01:20:32,297
Lasky now looking to put a Grimm ending
to Braddock�s fairy-tale comeback.
909
01:20:32,365 --> 01:20:35,741
Lasky pounding hard shots to the body.
910
01:20:38,538 --> 01:20:41,539
Braddock just took a tremendous shot,
a hard right to the head,
911
01:20:41,608 --> 01:20:43,813
which knocked his mouthpiece
to the canvas.
912
01:21:12,772 --> 01:21:16,875
Braddock just took Lasky�s best shot
and it didn�t even faze him.
913
01:21:37,063 --> 01:21:40,041
Get in there and take that sucker!
914
01:21:40,667 --> 01:21:43,736
He�s showing tremendous determination.
915
01:21:48,508 --> 01:21:51,145
Right in there, and get his nose!
916
01:21:57,317 --> 01:21:59,988
Braddock comes in
with a hard shot to the body.
917
01:22:00,053 --> 01:22:03,758
Lasky�s wilting under the pressure
from the Bulldog of Bergen.
918
01:22:04,891 --> 01:22:09,358
Braddock�s now back on the attack.
Another vicious combination by Braddock.
919
01:22:09,429 --> 01:22:11,532
Lasky flowing blood from the nose.
920
01:22:11,597 --> 01:22:13,870
The 15th and final round.
921
01:22:13,933 --> 01:22:16,843
Braddock now looks like
the younger fighter.
922
01:22:16,903 --> 01:22:21,370
The Garden is on its feet!
Jim Braddock will not be denied!
923
01:22:21,441 --> 01:22:24,908
There�s the bell.
This one goes to the scorecards.
924
01:22:26,946 --> 01:22:31,288
And the winner, by unanimous decision,
925
01:22:31,351 --> 01:22:34,954
James J. Braddock!
926
01:22:52,071 --> 01:22:54,140
Thanks, buddy.
927
01:22:57,577 --> 01:23:00,078
- Max?
- What?
928
01:23:01,414 --> 01:23:03,517
Max!
929
01:23:03,583 --> 01:23:07,391
Jim Braddock just beat Lasky.
They made him the number one contender.
930
01:23:07,453 --> 01:23:09,124
- Max, when are we...?
- Shut up.
931
01:23:09,188 --> 01:23:11,961
- Maxie.
- Shut up!
932
01:23:18,831 --> 01:23:22,741
I�m not gonna fight Jimmy Braddock.
He�s a chump.
933
01:23:22,802 --> 01:23:26,973
You tell Johnston to bring me
somebody who can fight back.
934
01:23:27,039 --> 01:23:30,744
You�re gonna bust your contract?
It�s done, Max.
935
01:23:46,125 --> 01:23:48,364
There�s Braddock.
936
01:24:29,168 --> 01:24:31,339
Hey, Mrs. Braddock.
937
01:24:34,607 --> 01:24:37,483
- Sara�s here.
- Yeah?
938
01:24:37,543 --> 01:24:40,714
- I got her to sleep.
- Hey.
939
01:24:40,780 --> 01:24:42,917
Hey, Jim.
940
01:24:44,484 --> 01:24:47,360
Mike�s gone missing.
941
01:24:47,420 --> 01:24:49,523
How long?
942
01:24:50,490 --> 01:24:52,593
Three days.
943
01:24:52,658 --> 01:24:55,932
I�ve been staying at my brother�s
since Jake cut him.
944
01:24:55,995 --> 01:24:58,336
Jake fired him? I didn�t know that.
945
01:24:58,397 --> 01:25:03,603
You know how Mike gets.
All his talk, so much trouble.
946
01:25:05,004 --> 01:25:08,005
He�s been sleeping nights
down in the Hooverville.
947
01:25:08,074 --> 01:25:11,052
My brother didn�t have room
for both him and us.
948
01:25:11,110 --> 01:25:14,054
Mike said, you know,
if he had to stay down there anyway,
949
01:25:14,113 --> 01:25:17,182
he was gonna try
to get everybody organized.
950
01:25:17,717 --> 01:25:20,956
Something�s wrong, Jim. I know it.
951
01:25:21,888 --> 01:25:25,162
Now I�m hearing
there�s some trouble in Hooverville.
952
01:25:25,224 --> 01:25:28,634
He wouldn�t leave me and the baby
for this long.
953
01:25:29,295 --> 01:25:31,568
He just wouldn�t.
954
01:25:32,131 --> 01:25:35,041
I didn�t know who else to come to, Jim.
955
01:25:42,975 --> 01:25:47,442
Come on, out of the way.
Beat it. Move along.
956
01:25:54,921 --> 01:25:58,626
Get the hell out of here, coppers!
957
01:25:59,692 --> 01:26:02,261
Mike! Mike Wilson!
958
01:26:03,863 --> 01:26:06,398
Mike Wilson!
959
01:26:07,934 --> 01:26:11,276
We didn�t do nothing. You let
these commies in here and start a riot.
960
01:26:11,337 --> 01:26:13,872
Then what do you think�s
gonna happen?
961
01:26:13,940 --> 01:26:16,782
Get over here. On your feet!
962
01:26:16,842 --> 01:26:20,081
You pull a knife on me, you son of a bitch?
963
01:26:25,618 --> 01:26:29,653
We tried to break up these agitators,
peaceful like, but they charged us.
964
01:26:29,722 --> 01:26:32,996
- What is this?
- Horses got spooked, the wagons tipped.
965
01:26:33,059 --> 01:26:37,060
Three or four of �em got run over.
They�re hurt pretty bad.
966
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:43,471
Go away. Come on, move.
Move back.
967
01:26:44,537 --> 01:26:47,140
Keep those bastards back.
968
01:26:48,708 --> 01:26:52,550
Get those guys next.
The ones who got trampled.
969
01:26:59,185 --> 01:27:02,322
- Hey, Jim.
- Mike.
970
01:27:06,759 --> 01:27:08,862
You�re gonna be OK, Mike.
971
01:27:08,928 --> 01:27:12,429
- Tell Sara... Tell her...
- I�ll tell Sara.
972
01:27:12,498 --> 01:27:14,635
...I�m gonna be late, Jimmy.
973
01:27:55,741 --> 01:27:58,980
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
974
01:27:59,045 --> 01:28:03,785
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
975
01:28:04,383 --> 01:28:06,918
Give us this day our daily bread
976
01:28:06,986 --> 01:28:12,260
and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us.
977
01:28:12,324 --> 01:28:17,064
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil...
978
01:28:17,229 --> 01:28:19,229
Mae. Look up, Mae.
979
01:28:29,075 --> 01:28:31,075
How about it, Pete, yeah?
Time-out.
980
01:28:31,143 --> 01:28:34,121
That�s it. Keep your questions
short and to the point.
981
01:28:34,180 --> 01:28:37,419
We�re gonna start off with Frank Essex.
Frank Essex.
982
01:28:37,483 --> 01:28:40,518
Take it easy, Petey. Jeez.
Frank Essex, Daily News.
983
01:28:40,586 --> 01:28:44,155
A lot of reporters here today,
a lot of people interested in this fight.
984
01:28:44,223 --> 01:28:48,099
What do you got to say
to your fans today, Jimmy?
985
01:28:49,428 --> 01:28:52,804
I guess I�m grateful for the opportunity.
986
01:28:55,301 --> 01:28:59,404
I know that these days
not everybody gets a second chance.
987
01:28:59,472 --> 01:29:01,609
I have a lot to be grateful for.
988
01:29:01,674 --> 01:29:06,414
I have three beautiful, healthy,
troublemaking kids.
989
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:10,321
And I have the prettiest wife
a man could wish for.
990
01:29:10,382 --> 01:29:12,917
Bob Johnson, Boston Globe.
991
01:29:12,985 --> 01:29:17,259
Two days ago we ran a story about you
giving your relief money back.
992
01:29:17,823 --> 01:29:20,494
Can you tell our readers why?
993
01:29:21,927 --> 01:29:25,462
I believe we live in a great country.
994
01:29:25,531 --> 01:29:30,271
A country that�s great enough to help
a man financially when he�s in trouble.
995
01:29:31,337 --> 01:29:36,077
But lately I have had some good fortune
and I�m back in the black,
996
01:29:37,076 --> 01:29:39,486
and I just thought I should return it.
997
01:29:41,781 --> 01:29:45,816
Listen, what�s the first thing you�re
gonna do if you make world champion?
998
01:29:45,885 --> 01:29:50,159
First thing? I�m gonna have to
go and buy some turtles.
999
01:29:50,923 --> 01:29:55,265
I said to the kids when I left the house this
morning I was gonna bring back the title,
1000
01:29:55,327 --> 01:29:58,498
and they thought I said turtle.
1001
01:29:59,498 --> 01:30:01,942
So, naturally,
I don�t wanna let �em down.
1002
01:30:02,001 --> 01:30:06,172
But if I could bring back the title
and a turtle, they sure would be tickled.
1003
01:30:06,238 --> 01:30:09,045
You got that? Title, turtle. Right?
1004
01:30:09,108 --> 01:30:12,450
- Jake Greenblatt from Chicago Trib.
- Hello, Jake.
1005
01:30:12,511 --> 01:30:14,852
It�s been a while. What�s changed, Jimmy?
1006
01:30:14,914 --> 01:30:18,051
I mean, you couldn�t win a fight
for love or money, right?
1007
01:30:18,117 --> 01:30:20,220
How do you explain your comeback?
1008
01:30:20,686 --> 01:30:25,096
The truth is, Jake, for a number of years
there, we was fighting injured.
1009
01:30:25,157 --> 01:30:29,260
I broke my hand. More than once.
1010
01:30:29,328 --> 01:30:34,829
I got in a car accident one time I was
on the road, and I had to get that fixed.
1011
01:30:34,900 --> 01:30:37,571
Ihad a run of bad luck.
1012
01:30:39,071 --> 01:30:42,379
And this time around,
I know what I�m fighting for.
1013
01:30:42,441 --> 01:30:45,510
Yeah? What�s that, Jimmy?
1014
01:30:45,578 --> 01:30:48,385
- Milk.
- Milk?
1015
01:30:48,447 --> 01:30:52,187
- Sporty Lewis, New York Herald.
- Sporty.
1016
01:30:52,284 --> 01:30:54,955
Actually, my question�s for Mrs. Braddock.
1017
01:30:54,987 --> 01:30:57,829
Mrs. Braddock, my readers
would love to know,
1018
01:30:57,890 --> 01:31:02,800
how do you feel about the fact
that Max Baer�s killed two men in the ring?
1019
01:31:04,063 --> 01:31:08,234
So, how do you feel about that, ma�am?
Are you scared for your husband�s life?
1020
01:31:08,300 --> 01:31:11,642
She�s scared for Max Baer,
is who she�s scared for, Mr. Lewis.
1021
01:31:11,704 --> 01:31:14,705
How about one more question?
1022
01:31:25,517 --> 01:31:30,927
- Said downstairs you wanted to see us.
- Sure. Jim, come on in. Have a seat.
1023
01:31:30,990 --> 01:31:33,161
Right here.
1024
01:31:34,793 --> 01:31:38,032
Editorial says this fight is good as murder.
1025
01:31:38,097 --> 01:31:43,098
And everybody associated with it should
be hauled into court and prosecuted after.
1026
01:31:43,168 --> 01:31:46,703
They�re getting letters from people
saying you�re their inspiration.
1027
01:31:46,772 --> 01:31:50,875
Like you saved their lives or something.
If you ask me, it�s a lot of crap.
1028
01:31:50,943 --> 01:31:54,978
But I�m not getting hung out to dry
if something happens to you.
1029
01:31:55,047 --> 01:31:57,025
You�re all heart.
1030
01:31:57,983 --> 01:32:01,154
My heart�s for my family.
My brains and my balls are for business.
1031
01:32:01,220 --> 01:32:04,755
- And this is business. You got me?
- Got you.
1032
01:32:08,093 --> 01:32:11,162
You will know exactly
what you�re up against.
1033
01:32:12,131 --> 01:32:18,035
And my attorney Mr. Mills will witness I�ve
done everything in my power to warn you.
1034
01:32:20,039 --> 01:32:22,676
You know, I seen the Camera fight.
1035
01:32:22,741 --> 01:32:26,344
- Camera�s height saved him.
- He was knocked down 12 times.
1036
01:32:26,412 --> 01:32:29,288
Exactly. It would�ve been worse
if he was shorter.
1037
01:32:29,348 --> 01:32:34,349
Baer had to punch up to hit him.
Took a little something off.
1038
01:32:41,226 --> 01:32:43,329
That�s Frankie Campbell.
1039
01:32:43,395 --> 01:32:46,566
Stand-up fighter,
knows how to take a punch.
1040
01:32:47,266 --> 01:32:49,539
His style familiar, Jim?
1041
01:32:50,436 --> 01:32:53,710
- Like looking in a mirror.
- He don�t need to see this.
1042
01:32:53,772 --> 01:32:56,807
He�ll see it or I�ll call off the fight.
1043
01:33:07,553 --> 01:33:09,690
Do you see that combination?
1044
01:33:09,755 --> 01:33:13,892
Campbell didn�t go down
on the first punch. He was a tough guy.
1045
01:33:13,959 --> 01:33:17,335
Second one killed him, on the spot.
1046
01:33:23,769 --> 01:33:26,213
Just cut it off, will you?
1047
01:33:32,378 --> 01:33:38,084
The autopsy said that his brain was
knocked loose from the connecting tissue.
1048
01:33:40,652 --> 01:33:43,630
Consider your ass fully covered, OK?
1049
01:33:46,859 --> 01:33:48,859
Run it again.
1050
01:34:53,859 --> 01:34:58,803
Remember Ernie Schaaf?
Nice guy. You lost one to him in� 31.
1051
01:34:58,864 --> 01:35:03,104
Ernie took one of those on the chin
from Baer. He was dead and didn�t know it.
1052
01:35:03,168 --> 01:35:09,044
Next fight, first little nothing jab put him
to sleep forever. Detached brain, they said.
1053
01:35:10,542 --> 01:35:12,815
Joe
1054
01:35:12,878 --> 01:35:15,379
No snappy comeback?
1055
01:35:15,447 --> 01:35:19,448
It ain�t my skull
the guy�s gonna try and stove in.
1056
01:35:20,752 --> 01:35:23,093
You want to think about it?
1057
01:35:24,523 --> 01:35:26,899
You think you�re telling me something?
1058
01:35:27,893 --> 01:35:31,360
What, like boxing�s dangerous,
something like that?
1059
01:35:33,499 --> 01:35:38,909
You don�t think triple shifts or workin� nights
on scaffolds is just as likely to kill a guy?
1060
01:35:39,638 --> 01:35:44,139
How many guys died the other night living
in cardboard shacks trying to save on rent?
1061
01:35:44,209 --> 01:35:47,517
Guys just trying to feed their family.
�Cause men like you
1062
01:35:47,579 --> 01:35:51,319
have not yet quite figured out a way to
make money out of watching that guy die.
1063
01:35:51,416 --> 01:35:55,156
In my profession - and it�s my profession -
1064
01:35:56,588 --> 01:35:59,998
I�m a little more fortunate.
1065
01:36:04,029 --> 01:36:06,336
All righty, then.
1066
01:36:06,398 --> 01:36:10,467
You guys have dinner here tonight.
Take your wives. It�s on me.
1067
01:36:10,536 --> 01:36:12,946
We�ll snap some pics on your way out.
1068
01:36:13,005 --> 01:36:15,915
You change your mind,
at least we got some press out of it.
1069
01:36:15,974 --> 01:36:18,009
Good. Come on.
1070
01:36:29,555 --> 01:36:31,999
It�s gorgeous. It�s gorgeous.
1071
01:36:32,057 --> 01:36:33,557
Jimmy.
1072
01:36:33,625 --> 01:36:37,592
- Can we get silver faucets?
- What do you want, a dozen?
1073
01:36:37,663 --> 01:36:42,767
Listen. A little bird told me to check
the evening editions. Let�s see what we got.
1074
01:36:42,834 --> 01:36:45,607
Boxer Jim Braddock
has come back from the dead
1075
01:36:45,671 --> 01:36:49,581
to change the face of courage
in our nation.
1076
01:36:49,641 --> 01:36:51,244
That�s nice.
1077
01:36:51,310 --> 01:36:53,845
- Sporty Lewis wrote that.
- Sporty Lewis?
1078
01:36:55,013 --> 01:36:58,855
Get this:
In a land that�s downtrodden,
1079
01:36:58,917 --> 01:37:02,759
Braddock�s comeback
is giving hope to every American.
1080
01:37:04,289 --> 01:37:09,563
People ready to throw in the towel
are finding inspiration in their new hero.
1081
01:37:10,362 --> 01:37:12,897
As Damon Runyon has already written,
1082
01:37:12,965 --> 01:37:16,102
he�s truly the Cinderella Man.
1083
01:37:17,069 --> 01:37:18,740
- Cinderella Man?
- Yeah.
1084
01:37:18,804 --> 01:37:21,043
I like it.
1085
01:37:21,106 --> 01:37:25,550
- It�s kinda girly.
- Oh, brother. This is gonna be fun.
1086
01:37:25,611 --> 01:37:27,782
- Excuse me.
- Jim.
1087
01:37:28,614 --> 01:37:31,456
- I�m not quite finished yet.
- I beg your pardon, sir.
1088
01:37:31,516 --> 01:37:33,426
Thank you.
1089
01:37:33,485 --> 01:37:36,258
You know what? I got the bill here.
1090
01:37:36,321 --> 01:37:40,390
Johnston, he�s a big spender.
He�s gonna leave a big, big tip.
1091
01:37:40,459 --> 01:37:43,664
It�s a real peach.
Gotta love the guy, right, sweetie?
1092
01:37:43,729 --> 01:37:46,366
- Look at this!
- This is me.
1093
01:37:50,302 --> 01:37:52,007
Jimmy.
1094
01:38:11,137 --> 01:38:12,637
Oh, boy.
1095
01:38:13,973 --> 01:38:17,042
- You think Johnston set that up?
- Yeah, I think maybe.
1096
01:38:17,109 --> 01:38:19,882
A few extra pics for the dailies.
1097
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,187
From the gentleman who just arrived.
1098
01:38:23,249 --> 01:38:26,591
Mr. Baer said to wish you bon voyage.
1099
01:38:30,823 --> 01:38:33,324
Don�t open it. We�ll take it with us.
1100
01:38:33,359 --> 01:38:35,132
- Hey, Joey?
- Yeah?
1101
01:38:35,194 --> 01:38:37,604
- Get the coats.
- Whoa, whoa, Jim.
1102
01:38:37,663 --> 01:38:40,266
Jim. Jimmy.
1103
01:38:46,872 --> 01:38:51,509
- Well, if it ain�t Cinderella Man.
- Thanks for the champagne.
1104
01:38:51,611 --> 01:38:54,589
You�re doing great publicizing the fight.
I appreciate it.
1105
01:38:54,614 --> 01:38:58,149
I hope it�s gonna be
a very successful night for both of us.
1106
01:38:58,217 --> 01:39:01,991
You keep tellin� people
you�re gonna kill me in the ring.
1107
01:39:02,054 --> 01:39:05,657
I got three kids. You�re upsettin�
my family, particularly my wife.
1108
01:39:05,725 --> 01:39:07,998
Listen, Braddock.
1109
01:39:08,060 --> 01:39:11,368
I�m asking you sincerely
not to take this fight.
1110
01:39:11,430 --> 01:39:15,101
Now, you seem like a decent fella.
People admire you.
1111
01:39:15,167 --> 01:39:17,668
I really don�t want to hurt you.
1112
01:39:17,703 --> 01:39:22,875
It�s no joke, pal.
People die in fairy tales all the time.
1113
01:39:22,942 --> 01:39:25,147
- Max!
- Jim! How about a shot?
1114
01:39:25,211 --> 01:39:27,018
- Smile.
- There you go.
1115
01:39:27,079 --> 01:39:29,318
- Just smile.
- One more.
1116
01:39:29,382 --> 01:39:32,485
Yeah, the smart thing�d be
for you to take a fall.
1117
01:39:32,551 --> 01:39:34,620
Circus act�s over, old man.
1118
01:39:37,723 --> 01:39:39,223
- Right here.
- Great.
1119
01:39:39,292 --> 01:39:42,168
I think I�ll go a few rounds
with the dancing Baer.
1120
01:39:45,064 --> 01:39:47,837
Very good. OK. OK.
1121
01:39:47,900 --> 01:39:50,901
Hey, we�ll see you in the ring.
How about that, champ?
1122
01:39:50,970 --> 01:39:53,141
Yeah? Come on. Let�s go, Jim.
1123
01:39:53,205 --> 01:39:55,740
Max, my wife Mae.
1124
01:39:55,808 --> 01:39:58,081
You oughta talk to him, Mae.
1125
01:39:58,144 --> 01:40:01,145
You are far too pretty to be a widow.
1126
01:40:02,014 --> 01:40:06,651
- That�s not nice, Max. Not nice.
- Maybe I can comfort you after he�s gone.
1127
01:40:06,719 --> 01:40:10,288
Hey! I said shut your goddamn mouth,
you punk!
1128
01:40:15,594 --> 01:40:18,436
Sorry. Send me the cleaning bill.
1129
01:40:19,432 --> 01:40:23,933
Get that, boys? Now he�s got his wife
doin� his fighting for him.
1130
01:40:28,174 --> 01:40:30,379
Yeah. Ain�t she something?
1131
01:40:35,414 --> 01:40:37,551
Get me a drink.
1132
01:40:47,626 --> 01:40:50,127
OK. Three-punch combo, OK?
1133
01:40:50,196 --> 01:40:53,299
Pop, pop, bang. Come on.
1134
01:40:54,567 --> 01:40:57,443
Yeah. That�s good.
1135
01:40:57,503 --> 01:41:00,106
Keep your thumbs tucked in,
keep your elbows in.
1136
01:41:00,172 --> 01:41:02,241
All right, that�s enough now.
1137
01:41:02,308 --> 01:41:05,252
- There�s some sting in that.
- That�s enough, please.
1138
01:41:05,311 --> 01:41:07,812
Yeah, good. Bang.
1139
01:41:09,648 --> 01:41:13,717
- I want a turn, Dad.
- Where�s the defense? Get your hands up.
1140
01:41:13,786 --> 01:41:15,786
I want a turn.
1141
01:41:17,857 --> 01:41:20,596
Pop, pop, bang.
1142
01:41:22,395 --> 01:41:24,373
Pop, bang, bang.
1143
01:41:24,430 --> 01:41:25,964
Come on, Howie.
1144
01:41:28,601 --> 01:41:30,806
That�s enough! No boxing in the house!
1145
01:41:30,870 --> 01:41:35,212
No boxing out of the house. All right?
No boxing, period.
1146
01:41:35,274 --> 01:41:39,616
You�re gonna stay in school,
and then go to college and have professions.
1147
01:41:39,678 --> 01:41:42,883
Because you�re not gonna have
your skulls smashed in too.
1148
01:41:42,948 --> 01:41:45,619
Do you understand me?
Is that clear?
1149
01:41:54,693 --> 01:41:56,500
Why don�t you get ready for bed?
1150
01:42:19,084 --> 01:42:22,687
I... used to pray...
1151
01:42:23,656 --> 01:42:27,464
for you to get hurt just enough
1152
01:42:27,526 --> 01:42:30,402
so you couldn�t fight anymore.
1153
01:42:30,463 --> 01:42:34,237
And when they took your license away,
even scared as I was,
1154
01:42:34,300 --> 01:42:38,244
I went to the church
and I thanked God for it.
1155
01:42:38,304 --> 01:42:44,044
�Cause I always knew a day might come
when it could kill you.
1156
01:42:44,109 --> 01:42:48,315
- I just knew it, Jimmy, and now it�s here.
- Hey. You just got the jitters.
1157
01:42:48,380 --> 01:42:53,324
He�s killed two men, Jimmy.
What�s worth it? Huh? What�s worth it?
1158
01:42:53,419 --> 01:42:56,658
I have to believe I got
some kind of say over our lives.
1159
01:42:56,689 --> 01:42:58,133
OK?
1160
01:42:58,190 --> 01:43:02,191
If things are bad, that we can change �em.
We can make things better for our family.
1161
01:43:02,261 --> 01:43:05,796
But I need you to be safe!
1162
01:43:05,865 --> 01:43:08,843
- Nothing�s safe, and without that...
- So much!
1163
01:43:08,901 --> 01:43:12,072
- Nothing�s safe at all.
- I need you to be safe. All right.
1164
01:43:12,137 --> 01:43:16,081
I have stood by for all of it.
1165
01:43:16,141 --> 01:43:19,051
Until now.
1166
01:43:19,111 --> 01:43:22,180
Not for this, Jimmy. I just can�t.
1167
01:43:23,115 --> 01:43:28,685
So you train all you want. Make a show of it
for yourself, for the papers.
1168
01:43:28,754 --> 01:43:31,323
But you find a way out of that fight.
1169
01:43:31,390 --> 01:43:34,800
Break your hand again if you have to.
1170
01:43:57,583 --> 01:43:59,822
So how's he doing?
1171
01:43:59,885 --> 01:44:02,261
He�s old, he�s arthritic,
1172
01:44:02,321 --> 01:44:05,560
and his ribs haven�t been right
since the Lasky fight.
1173
01:44:05,624 --> 01:44:07,829
What�s the bad news, sunshine?
1174
01:44:08,561 --> 01:44:11,664
- Joe. The reporters are here.
- Jesus.
1175
01:44:11,730 --> 01:44:14,867
Right. Get rid of that
goddamn rib protector. Jimmy!
1176
01:44:14,934 --> 01:44:17,912
Press is here, boyo!
Get bouncing around in that ring!
1177
01:44:17,970 --> 01:44:20,880
Showtime, big smiles!
You�re the belle of the ball!
1178
01:44:20,940 --> 01:44:23,816
Baer don�t need to know
about no goddamn ribs.
1179
01:45:53,365 --> 01:45:55,468
Bye, Dad.
1180
01:46:15,921 --> 01:46:18,228
Come on. Lets go. Lets go.
1181
01:46:18,290 --> 01:46:21,132
Let�s go. Come on.
1182
01:46:33,472 --> 01:46:35,848
- Look! It�s Braddock!
- Jimmy!
1183
01:46:35,908 --> 01:46:38,443
There�s Braddock!
1184
01:46:41,480 --> 01:46:44,287
Hey, this is your night, Bulldog.
1185
01:46:44,349 --> 01:46:47,384
- Give him a good fight, now.
- We�re with you, Jimmy!
1186
01:46:47,453 --> 01:46:49,556
You�re gonna beat him, Bulldog!
1187
01:46:54,026 --> 01:46:56,936
- Well, look who�s here.
- Hi, Aunt Alice.
1188
01:46:56,995 --> 01:46:59,632
Come on in.
1189
01:46:59,698 --> 01:47:02,369
No radio, all right?
1190
01:47:02,434 --> 01:47:05,878
- Yeah. Sure.
- All right. Be back soon.
1191
01:47:27,159 --> 01:47:31,069
- Hello, Mae.
- I came to pray for Jim.
1192
01:47:32,931 --> 01:47:35,670
So did they.
1193
01:47:35,734 --> 01:47:38,178
Yeah.
1194
01:47:46,245 --> 01:47:50,189
They all think that Jim�s...
fighting for them.
1195
01:48:53,078 --> 01:48:56,579
- Yeah?
- Who beat that John Henry Lewis?
1196
01:48:59,318 --> 01:49:02,921
- That Braddock guy.
- Correct.
1197
01:49:02,988 --> 01:49:05,261
Who whupped that Art Lasky punk?
1198
01:49:05,324 --> 01:49:08,393
- James J. Braddock.
- Correct again.
1199
01:49:08,460 --> 01:49:12,029
Now, refresh me on this one.
Who was it that took that Corn Griffin
1200
01:49:12,097 --> 01:49:14,666
and turned him inside out
with no questions asked?
1201
01:49:14,733 --> 01:49:17,472
Who was that?
1202
01:49:17,536 --> 01:49:20,037
I used to think it was me,
but now i'm kinda thinking it was you.
1203
01:49:20,105 --> 01:49:23,049
No, don�t you sell yourself short.
1204
01:49:23,108 --> 01:49:28,109
At some stage, you think maybe
we�ll do some taping, maybe?
1205
01:49:28,180 --> 01:49:30,521
Why not, why not?
1206
01:49:35,854 --> 01:49:38,093
Let�s see. How�s that?
1207
01:49:39,858 --> 01:49:41,858
What?
1208
01:50:00,312 --> 01:50:02,483
Excuse me, ma�am.
1209
01:50:10,522 --> 01:50:13,432
You can�t win without me behind you.
1210
01:50:16,228 --> 01:50:18,729
That�s what I�ve been trying to tell you.
1211
01:50:28,273 --> 01:50:33,149
Maybe I understand some
about havin� a fight.
1212
01:50:34,846 --> 01:50:38,313
So you just remember who you are.
1213
01:50:38,784 --> 01:50:41,353
You�re the Bulldog of Bergen
1214
01:50:41,420 --> 01:50:44,557
and the pride of New Jersey.
1215
01:50:44,623 --> 01:50:47,158
You�re everybody�s hope,
1216
01:50:47,225 --> 01:50:50,135
and you�re your kids� hero.
1217
01:50:51,330 --> 01:50:57,236
And you are the champion of my heart,
James J. Braddock.
1218
01:51:07,446 --> 01:51:09,787
You know, you�d better go home.
1219
01:51:10,749 --> 01:51:13,318
You know, boxers hang around
places like this
1220
01:51:13,385 --> 01:51:16,192
and you don�t want to get tangled up
in that kind of crowd.
1221
01:51:16,254 --> 01:51:18,823
A nice girl like you.
1222
01:51:18,890 --> 01:51:21,197
OK.
1223
01:51:21,259 --> 01:51:23,896
I�ll see you at home.
1224
01:51:29,267 --> 01:51:31,677
Please, Jimmy.
1225
01:51:33,071 --> 01:51:35,708
I�ll see you at home?
1226
01:51:36,675 --> 01:51:38,778
See you at home, baby.
1227
01:51:59,531 --> 01:52:02,600
Madison Square Garden Bowl...
1228
01:52:02,667 --> 01:52:05,202
the biggest pugilistic event
of the year.
1229
01:52:05,270 --> 01:52:08,941
Max Baer versus the
Cinderella Man - Jimmy Braddock.
1230
01:52:10,308 --> 01:52:15,718
In a moment, the contestants for tonight�s
bout will be making their way to the ring.
1231
01:52:36,935 --> 01:52:39,436
God Almighty.
1232
01:52:46,945 --> 01:52:50,412
Jim Braddock�s rise to number one
heavyweight contender
1233
01:52:50,515 --> 01:52:52,515
has truly been miraculous.
1234
01:52:52,551 --> 01:52:57,120
Never in all my years
have I seen this arena so quiet.
1235
01:53:25,083 --> 01:53:27,584
You can do it, Jimmy!
1236
01:53:34,926 --> 01:53:37,267
James J. Braddock, the Cinderella Man,
1237
01:53:37,329 --> 01:53:39,773
who just a year ago
was standing in a bread line.
1238
01:53:39,831 --> 01:53:42,366
Braddock�s a tremendous underdog
with the betters,
1239
01:53:42,434 --> 01:53:44,935
but you wouldn�t know it
from the crowd�s reaction.
1240
01:53:50,675 --> 01:53:54,585
People buying tickets looked
as if they were spending their last dollar.
1241
01:53:54,646 --> 01:53:58,181
But they�re here now, and 35,000 strong.
Listen to them!
1242
01:54:18,069 --> 01:54:21,809
We understand Max Baer
has left his dressing room. There he is.
1243
01:54:21,873 --> 01:54:24,612
Baer has the look and swagger
of a Hollywood star.
1244
01:54:24,676 --> 01:54:29,677
Tonight there�ll be no playacting, not with
Braddock in the ring. This fight is for real.
1245
01:54:29,748 --> 01:54:32,351
The table�s been set:
let�s get to the main course.
1246
01:54:36,621 --> 01:54:39,497
Gentlemen, I gave you the rules
in the dressing room.
1247
01:54:39,558 --> 01:54:43,559
- One minute to midnight, Cinderella.
- Your clock�s about ticked down, asshole.
1248
01:54:43,628 --> 01:54:46,038
Tell laughing boy no backhanding.
1249
01:54:46,097 --> 01:54:49,837
- No holding and hitting on the breakaway.
- No low blows.
1250
01:54:49,935 --> 01:54:55,470
- Tell this bohunk no manhandling.
- Watch your language, you nasty little shit.
1251
01:54:59,511 --> 01:55:04,319
- Holy mackerel, it talks! Look at that.
- Keep your hands up at all times.
1252
01:55:04,382 --> 01:55:08,383
Touch gloves and come out fighting.
Good luck. Go to your corners.
1253
01:55:08,453 --> 01:55:12,329
I�ll kick his Mick balls up to the roof
of his mouth. That oughta taste familiar.
1254
01:55:15,594 --> 01:55:17,765
Come on, Jimmy boy!
1255
01:55:19,264 --> 01:55:22,674
Come on, boys.
Get some pictures here. Come on!
1256
01:55:31,476 --> 01:55:35,079
You can do this. This guy is made for you.
1257
01:55:35,146 --> 01:55:37,851
Have a picnic, all right?
1258
01:55:41,820 --> 01:55:44,230
There�s the bell, and the fight is on.
1259
01:55:51,963 --> 01:55:56,100
The boys come out and immediately
Braddock shoots a left to Max�s jaw.
1260
01:55:57,902 --> 01:56:00,812
That�s it. Take it right to him, Jimmy.
1261
01:56:02,507 --> 01:56:04,348
Now, now.
1262
01:56:04,409 --> 01:56:07,114
He snaps Braddock�s head back
with two uppercuts.
1263
01:56:07,178 --> 01:56:12,554
It�s always the question of which Max will
show up in the first round- killer or clown?
1264
01:56:21,493 --> 01:56:25,062
It looks like he�s enjoying himself,
mugging for the crowd.
1265
01:56:26,698 --> 01:56:29,142
A big flurry by Braddock.
A vicious right to the head.
1266
01:56:37,909 --> 01:56:42,080
Take it easy, pal.
I�ll let it go a couple of rounds.
1267
01:56:42,147 --> 01:56:46,216
Madcap Maxie is heavily favored to put
the long snore on Jim in the first round.
1268
01:56:46,284 --> 01:56:49,660
That right hand is dynamite,
especially with his man on the ropes.
1269
01:56:49,754 --> 01:56:51,959
He�s gonna carry him for a couple of rounds.
1270
01:56:56,795 --> 01:56:59,898
Break it up. Break it up, I said!
1271
01:57:03,601 --> 01:57:06,340
Jim survived the round
and looked pretty good doing it.
1272
01:57:06,404 --> 01:57:08,677
Braddock will not be bullied, not tonight.
1273
01:57:08,740 --> 01:57:12,309
When he does this horseshit, knock it off.
He�s trying to thumb you.
1274
01:57:12,377 --> 01:57:15,753
And then slip inside of there
and shorten up the punches, right?
1275
01:57:15,814 --> 01:57:19,656
Shorten �em up. That�s your turf.
Inside is yours.
1276
01:57:19,718 --> 01:57:22,696
- Put him down, Braddock!
- Come on, Braddock!
1277
01:57:22,754 --> 01:57:25,857
Well, no one expected Braddock
to go past the first round.
1278
01:57:25,924 --> 01:57:29,061
- Stay inside of him.
- The experts were wrong again.
1279
01:57:29,127 --> 01:57:33,503
- Shorten �em up!
- There�s the bell. The second round.
1280
01:57:33,565 --> 01:57:35,838
Now add some salt on it!
1281
01:57:35,900 --> 01:57:41,208
Braddock lands a hard right to the head.
Max swats him away with utter contempt.
1282
01:57:41,272 --> 01:57:45,443
He appears to be toying with Braddock.
There�s no other word for it.
1283
01:57:45,510 --> 01:57:48,579
Struts around the ring
without a care in the world.
1284
01:57:51,282 --> 01:57:54,624
Sharp and vicious. Clip it, short. Good.
1285
01:57:59,357 --> 01:58:01,767
Knock that out.
1286
01:58:01,826 --> 01:58:07,168
And Max responds with swinging rights
and lefts. All power punches from Maxie.
1287
01:58:14,305 --> 01:58:17,806
Braddock comes back
with a vicious right to the head.
1288
01:58:22,814 --> 01:58:24,985
Cover up. Cover up.
1289
01:58:26,317 --> 01:58:28,818
Is that the right spot, Jimmy?
1290
01:58:28,853 --> 01:58:31,160
Break it up. Make it clean.
1291
01:58:40,865 --> 01:58:42,536
How are those ribs?
1292
01:58:42,600 --> 01:58:46,442
OK. All right.
Take it easy. Just breathe.
1293
01:58:46,504 --> 01:58:49,675
- Deep breaths. Relax.
- Good rhythm.
1294
01:58:49,774 --> 01:58:52,911
You�re looking great out there, Jimmy.
You look great.
1295
01:58:52,944 --> 01:58:55,047
Hey, Jim? Jim?
1296
01:58:55,113 --> 01:58:58,091
If he goes for your body,
drop the elbows on him.
1297
01:58:58,149 --> 01:59:00,525
Teach him a lesson.
Break his goddamn hand.
1298
01:59:00,585 --> 01:59:04,120
That round was tough to score.
Braddock landed several right hands.
1299
01:59:04,189 --> 01:59:06,599
And those thunderous body punches
by the champ
1300
01:59:06,658 --> 01:59:08,795
should pay dividends in the later rounds.
1301
01:59:10,929 --> 01:59:13,873
In the fifth, Baer�s smile is gone.
1302
01:59:15,667 --> 01:59:20,202
Jimmy comes in there with a hard right,
then neatly slides up to Baer�s left.
1303
01:59:20,738 --> 01:59:23,875
Avoiding the counterpunch,
Jimmy sticks a jab.
1304
01:59:26,978 --> 01:59:29,854
Now the crowd is jeering
and even laughing at the champ,
1305
01:59:29,914 --> 01:59:32,119
and Maxie�s none too pleased.
1306
01:59:32,183 --> 01:59:35,320
All right, break it. Break. Break, break.
1307
01:59:35,753 --> 01:59:39,061
Baer backhands Braddock
across the face. That�ll cost Maxie.
1308
01:59:39,123 --> 01:59:42,033
- You lousy shaygitz!
- That�s a warning, Max.
1309
01:59:43,895 --> 01:59:46,066
I�m sorry.
1310
01:59:47,499 --> 01:59:50,272
- Hows that wife of yours?
- Break!
1311
01:59:54,539 --> 01:59:57,847
- Does she talk about me?
- Break off the wrastling. Break it up.
1312
01:59:57,909 --> 02:00:00,910
Quit fooling around, Max.
1313
02:00:02,413 --> 02:00:05,584
- Low blow!
- Keep �em up.
1314
02:00:05,650 --> 02:00:07,821
Wake up, you wet son of a bitch!
1315
02:00:13,224 --> 02:00:16,725
Max salutes the crowd.
He�s one of a kind, folks.
1316
02:00:16,794 --> 02:00:19,135
Say my name in her sleep?
1317
02:00:20,164 --> 02:00:22,937
Baer took a chinful of Braddock�s head
in that clinch.
1318
02:00:23,001 --> 02:00:25,036
That�s it! Work his body!
1319
02:00:28,740 --> 02:00:30,309
She miss me?
1320
02:00:30,375 --> 02:00:32,648
Baer grips Braddock�s head in a headlock.
1321
02:00:32,710 --> 02:00:35,688
Hey, Max!
You gonna punch him or pork him?
1322
02:00:35,747 --> 02:00:37,156
That�s your job, asshole.
1323
02:00:37,215 --> 02:00:40,216
Jimmy fights his way free,
gets a shot to the head.
1324
02:00:40,285 --> 02:00:42,786
You kidding me? You watching this?
1325
02:00:42,854 --> 02:00:44,764
You�re gonna get hurt.
1326
02:00:45,423 --> 02:00:49,390
Braddock keeps punching.
They hammer each other toe-to-toe.
1327
02:00:53,598 --> 02:00:55,439
Keep your hands up and mouth shut.
1328
02:00:55,500 --> 02:00:58,239
You watching the fight,
or the cute guy in the front row?
1329
02:00:58,303 --> 02:01:02,213
Take a seat, Maxie. He�s nothin�, nobody.
The guy has got nothin�.
1330
02:01:02,273 --> 02:01:05,274
Jesus. Sit down.
1331
02:01:06,244 --> 02:01:07,983
Give me the sponge.
1332
02:01:08,046 --> 02:01:10,217
- What are you doin�?
- Don�t worry about it.
1333
02:01:10,281 --> 02:01:13,918
- Quit screwing around.
- Relax.
1334
02:01:13,985 --> 02:01:16,292
Give me the goddamn water.
1335
02:01:21,693 --> 02:01:23,796
Ten seconds!
1336
02:01:34,105 --> 02:01:37,015
Hit this guy. Hit him! Hit him!
1337
02:01:37,075 --> 02:01:39,178
Cut him down to size!
1338
02:01:41,679 --> 02:01:43,179
Shit.
1339
02:01:43,615 --> 02:01:45,820
In the seventh, the boys come out again.
1340
02:01:45,883 --> 02:01:48,622
And Max is all business now.
1341
02:01:51,255 --> 02:01:52,892
- Get him!
- Come on!
1342
02:01:54,158 --> 02:01:56,465
Slide it, Jimmy!
1343
02:01:57,595 --> 02:02:01,664
Braddock starting to look his age here
as Baer pushes him around the ring.
1344
02:02:02,233 --> 02:02:05,870
Baer swings hard to the body.
Braddock gets in a right to the head.
1345
02:02:17,548 --> 02:02:19,889
Jesus Christ.
1346
02:02:19,951 --> 02:02:23,691
Baer with a tremendous shot.
That was the hardest blow in the fight.
1347
02:02:30,094 --> 02:02:33,538
Baer pounds him again,
with another right to the head.
1348
02:02:41,706 --> 02:02:43,547
Push him, push him!
1349
02:02:54,886 --> 02:02:57,091
Braddock gets in a vicious uppercut.
1350
02:02:58,790 --> 02:03:00,927
- Baer keeps on punching.
- Johnny!
1351
02:03:02,060 --> 02:03:04,902
That�s enough.
Break it up, break it up.
1352
02:03:04,962 --> 02:03:07,167
You�re gonna go home in butcher paper.
1353
02:03:07,231 --> 02:03:09,936
Butcher paper!
1354
02:03:12,904 --> 02:03:15,405
All right, let me see that nose.
1355
02:03:15,440 --> 02:03:17,850
Get it out, get it out. Let me see it, Jim.
1356
02:03:17,909 --> 02:03:20,182
That�s nothing.
That�s a piece of cake.
1357
02:03:20,244 --> 02:03:23,620
Keep your head up, breathe
through your mouth. Breathe, breathe.
1358
02:03:23,681 --> 02:03:28,057
All your ugly friends are down from Jersey.
They dressed up nice, came to see you.
1359
02:03:28,119 --> 02:03:31,654
You�re putting �em to sleep.
You�re not turning him anymore, Jimmy.
1360
02:03:31,723 --> 02:03:35,224
Come on, pick it up. Spit that out, boyo.
1361
02:03:35,293 --> 02:03:38,862
Good boy. Good boy, good boy.
1362
02:03:38,930 --> 02:03:41,601
Good boy. Come on.
1363
02:03:43,401 --> 02:03:46,106
The boys go after each other immediately.
1364
02:03:46,170 --> 02:03:49,273
- Braddock gets in a left to the body and...
- Mae.
1365
02:03:51,776 --> 02:03:54,720
It�s the cops.
1366
02:03:54,779 --> 02:03:58,587
Braddock stumbles away.
Baer tries that right again.
1367
02:03:58,649 --> 02:04:01,525
They come together.
Braddock swings a left and a right.
1368
02:04:01,586 --> 02:04:03,257
Please, Ma.
1369
02:04:04,822 --> 02:04:07,732
Braddock sticks out a left.
Baer still after him.
1370
02:04:07,792 --> 02:04:11,668
Another left, and a hard right!
That�s knocked Baer for a moment.
1371
02:04:11,729 --> 02:04:13,468
Baer tries that right again.
1372
02:04:17,335 --> 02:04:21,938
A hard right to Braddock�s head.
Braddock is hurt. His legs are gone.
1373
02:04:29,580 --> 02:04:31,956
Braddock sticks out a left. Another left.
1374
02:04:36,621 --> 02:04:39,565
Neither man will back down.
It�s a slugfest, folks.
1375
02:04:39,624 --> 02:04:41,795
And there�s the bell.
1376
02:04:41,859 --> 02:04:45,167
James J. Braddock has exhibited
a lot of heart here
1377
02:04:45,229 --> 02:04:47,934
over 11 grueling rounds
with the champion.
1378
02:04:47,999 --> 02:04:51,204
Nobody expected him to last
more than a few innings with Baer,
1379
02:04:51,302 --> 02:04:54,746
yet here he is,
and he�s held his own.
1380
02:04:54,772 --> 02:04:57,750
But now we head
into the championship rounds, folks.
1381
02:05:00,745 --> 02:05:03,246
Jim? Look at me.
1382
02:05:05,316 --> 02:05:08,521
I swear to God, boyo. Win, lose or draw...
1383
02:05:09,053 --> 02:05:12,656
Thanks, Joey. For all of it.
1384
02:05:13,324 --> 02:05:18,325
Son of a bitch.
All right? Stop talking. Get in there!
1385
02:05:18,396 --> 02:05:21,340
And bury him!
1386
02:05:21,933 --> 02:05:24,672
Come on, Jimmy!
1387
02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:34,882
Here in the 12th, James J. Braddock is
showing this crowd what heart is all about.
1388
02:05:41,886 --> 02:05:46,023
Jimmy seems to be timing that left
and has slapped it away several times.
1389
02:05:51,896 --> 02:05:54,635
You stay with him! Son of a bitch!
1390
02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:59,210
Braddock with a shoeshine.
Left-right, left-right!
1391
02:05:59,270 --> 02:06:03,680
- Am I seeing what I�m seeing?
- Finish him, Jimmy, finish him!
1392
02:06:03,741 --> 02:06:06,378
Braddock! Braddock!
1393
02:06:14,585 --> 02:06:18,552
Maxie�s glamour-boy smile
is now a bloody grimace.
1394
02:06:18,623 --> 02:06:21,726
This crowd is definitely hoping
for a Braddock victory.
1395
02:06:21,792 --> 02:06:24,793
But Mr. Baer might have something
to say about that.
1396
02:06:28,266 --> 02:06:29,607
Holy crap!
1397
02:06:36,140 --> 02:06:37,811
Low blow!
1398
02:06:39,277 --> 02:06:40,948
Jesus!
1399
02:06:41,012 --> 02:06:45,547
- Hey! Why not just kick him in the balls?
- Joe, back in your corner.
1400
02:06:45,616 --> 02:06:48,787
What are you afraid of, you son of a bitch?
1401
02:06:52,490 --> 02:06:54,934
- Come on, ref.
- Jesus Christ!
1402
02:06:55,459 --> 02:06:59,960
McAvoy is on the verge
of losing control of this fight.
1403
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:05,137
Knock him on the ground, Bulldog!
1404
02:07:07,838 --> 02:07:10,339
- Last round.
- That�s right! Next champ!
1405
02:07:12,476 --> 02:07:15,818
You won this one. It�s a cinch. It is yours.
1406
02:07:16,914 --> 02:07:20,119
But I want you to play it cagey now.
All right?
1407
02:07:20,184 --> 02:07:24,094
I know you don�t like laying back,
but I want to stay away from his right.
1408
02:07:24,155 --> 02:07:26,360
Do you understand me? Stay away.
1409
02:07:26,424 --> 02:07:28,561
Right hand.
1410
02:07:28,626 --> 02:07:31,661
You�re behind. Are you listening to me?
1411
02:07:31,729 --> 02:07:34,866
You wanna lose the championship
to this goddamn nobody?
1412
02:07:36,334 --> 02:07:38,209
This is your night.
1413
02:07:39,971 --> 02:07:41,005
Stay away.
1414
02:07:41,072 --> 02:07:44,073
Put him down! Put him down!
1415
02:07:44,141 --> 02:07:46,244
Use the right hand, right hand.
1416
02:07:48,512 --> 02:07:51,513
This is it. This is your shot.
1417
02:07:51,615 --> 02:07:53,752
- Ten seconds!
- Finish him.
1418
02:07:58,689 --> 02:08:02,394
It�s the last round, Jimmy.
There ain�t no more.
1419
02:08:02,460 --> 02:08:06,927
You play this bastard smart
and they can�t take it from you.
1420
02:08:15,573 --> 02:08:21,477
One more round. McAvoy is at center ring,
waiting for the fighters to join him.
1421
02:08:42,633 --> 02:08:45,270
Touch gloves.
1422
02:08:46,604 --> 02:08:50,514
The boys touch gloves at center ring.
And now they�re right back at it!
1423
02:08:50,608 --> 02:08:53,018
No, Jimmy!
1424
02:08:54,812 --> 02:08:57,517
Leave him alone!
1425
02:08:57,581 --> 02:09:01,684
Stay away from him! That ain�t laying back!
1426
02:09:01,752 --> 02:09:05,026
Braddock�s corner is yelling at him
to stay away from Baer,
1427
02:09:05,089 --> 02:09:06,623
who�s looking for the knockout.
1428
02:09:06,690 --> 02:09:08,725
Stay off him, Jim. Come on.
1429
02:09:11,529 --> 02:09:13,098
Right hand, Max!
1430
02:09:21,005 --> 02:09:23,449
What is he, stupid?
1431
02:09:25,676 --> 02:09:27,915
Step away, step away!
1432
02:09:27,978 --> 02:09:30,319
trying to survive this brutal onslaught.
1433
02:09:30,381 --> 02:09:33,018
Stay off him!
1434
02:09:35,119 --> 02:09:37,688
Looking good, Maxie!
1435
02:09:41,792 --> 02:09:44,168
That�s the uppercut.
Stay the hell away from it.
1436
02:09:44,228 --> 02:09:47,331
Baer cutting loose with thunderous shots.
1437
02:09:47,398 --> 02:09:49,774
A left to the body.
Baer, again with the right.
1438
02:09:50,201 --> 02:09:52,804
Braddock covering up, trying to hang on.
1439
02:09:53,737 --> 02:09:58,011
Baer looking for the knockout. He doesn�t
want this one to go to the cards, folks.
1440
02:09:58,075 --> 02:10:00,314
They pound each other with lefts and rights.
1441
02:10:00,377 --> 02:10:06,219
Braddock blocking with his gloves and
elbows. Snaps a big right to Maxie�s jaw.
1442
02:10:14,291 --> 02:10:17,394
Baer smashes him with a big right.
1443
02:10:24,902 --> 02:10:28,312
Braddock is back on the ropes.
1444
02:11:13,784 --> 02:11:16,785
Braddock lands a crushing right!
1445
02:11:16,854 --> 02:11:21,923
Maxie desperately wants
to keep the crown from slipping away.
1446
02:11:25,629 --> 02:11:27,698
Jesus Christ!
1447
02:11:31,435 --> 02:11:33,970
Stay with him.
1448
02:11:37,908 --> 02:11:40,943
Both fighters are tired.
1449
02:11:49,353 --> 02:11:51,592
Baer is trying wildly for the knockout.
1450
02:11:52,189 --> 02:11:56,758
Jimmy is still standing. And he�s not
only standing, he�s moving forward.
1451
02:12:08,639 --> 02:12:12,413
This is the finish. Both boys are tired.
1452
02:12:12,476 --> 02:12:16,250
This is not boxing, folks.
This is a walloping ballet.
1453
02:12:20,517 --> 02:12:23,756
- Ten seconds!
- Son of a bitch.
1454
02:12:37,635 --> 02:12:41,045
There�s the bell!
It�s over! This fight is over!
1455
02:12:43,073 --> 02:12:45,244
Son of a bitch!
1456
02:12:52,316 --> 02:12:55,487
What a fight! Unbelievable!
1457
02:12:59,156 --> 02:13:03,623
Braddock came into this fight
the biggest underdog in pugilistic history.
1458
02:13:03,694 --> 02:13:06,035
For 15 rounds
he gave it everything he had
1459
02:13:06,096 --> 02:13:08,369
against the younger, stronger champion.
1460
02:13:19,443 --> 02:13:21,546
We are waiting for the decision.
1461
02:13:23,580 --> 02:13:24,580
It�s over.
1462
02:13:30,254 --> 02:13:32,891
McAvoy. McAvoy.
1463
02:13:33,324 --> 02:13:36,063
- What?
- Help me out. How�d you score the fight?
1464
02:13:36,126 --> 02:13:39,331
- Nine-five, one even.
- Which way?
1465
02:13:39,897 --> 02:13:43,171
- You have to read it in the papers, Sporty.
- No, come on!
1466
02:13:45,569 --> 02:13:48,376
What the hell is this crap?
1467
02:13:50,941 --> 02:13:55,408
They take this long to make a decision,
they�re gonna decide to screw someone.
1468
02:13:56,647 --> 02:14:00,091
- Make a decision!
- They�re gonna rob this poor bastard.
1469
02:14:00,150 --> 02:14:02,526
Unbelievable bullshit.
1470
02:14:08,926 --> 02:14:11,927
Come on, make a decision here!
1471
02:14:15,299 --> 02:14:19,505
The crowd, on its feet for almost
the entire fight, is still standing,
1472
02:14:19,570 --> 02:14:24,037
yelling for who they clearly believe
to be the winner of this fight.
1473
02:14:25,008 --> 02:14:28,748
We�ll have to wait and see
how the judges scored it.
1474
02:14:45,829 --> 02:14:48,500
Ladies and gentlemen,
1475
02:14:48,565 --> 02:14:51,270
we have your decision.
1476
02:14:52,336 --> 02:14:54,575
It�s unanimous.
1477
02:14:54,638 --> 02:14:59,139
Winner and the new world champion,
1478
02:15:00,477 --> 02:15:03,751
James J. Braddock!
1479
02:15:19,563 --> 02:15:21,336
You son of a bitch.
1480
02:15:21,398 --> 02:15:24,137
Jim Braddock has defeated Max Baer
1481
02:15:24,201 --> 02:15:27,179
for the heavyweight championship
of the world!
1482
02:15:29,506 --> 02:15:32,007
He won!
1483
02:15:48,008 --> 02:15:50,508
You earned it.
Hell of a fight.
