Undisputed

Knockdown! Knockdown!

Another victory for Sweetwater!

And now, for your entertainment pleasure...

while we get ready for the main event...

give it up for the Gat Boyz!

I saw Louis the night that he beat Braddock...

won the title. 1937.

Louis hits him with a left and a right!

And Braddock is down!

Straight right hand to the jaw.

Christ, they could've counted to fifty.

He was the best heavyweight...

that ever fought under the modern rules.

No discussion, the best.

Then the fucking government chased him about taxes.

Fucking IRS, fucking bureaucrat assholes.

Fuck it.

...in the west corner, weighing in at 230 pounds...

wearing the green trunks with the gold trim...

he's undefeated with eight wins and no losses.

Representing the State Prison at Loda...

the great white hope, Vern Van Zant!

Now in the east corner...

he's also undefeated and defending champion...

with a record of 67 wins and no losses...

weighing in at 191 pounds...

wearing the burgundy trunks with the black trim...

Sweetwater's own, Monroe Hutchen!

All right now, shit birds, y'all both know the rules.

I want a nice, clean fight, nothing below the belt.

You understand me? Let's box.

Now remember, brother convicts...

if you learned how to act...

they wouldn't have to fight inside of a cage.

And be on your best behavior, too...

'cause we don't want no incidents, all right?

Now, let's see what the pride of Loda...

has to offer against the great Monroe.

Give Hitler's cousin his lunch, baby.

It's all you, baby! It's all you!

Yeah! Come on now!

Come back from the rail... get back,

And there go the bell. Here we go.

Monroe comes out and peppers him...

with a nice left hand,

And another left hand,

Monroe's just feeling him out...

popping him with a little left hand,

He going to shine that bald head up, for sure,

Move your feet! Oh, yeah, that's right!

Yeah! Yeah!

Beat the teeth out of his mouth, Monroe!

Come on, man!

A left and a right by Monroe!

This guy hasn't tagged Monroe yet,

How in the hell could you be 6-6, 280...

and look wobbly already? Ooh!

He's down! He's down!

He's already down! Vern Van Zant is down!

We're not even halfway through the first round...

and he's already down!

Excuse me, sir, we just got some big news.

The word is, the Iceman's day of arrival is tomorrow.

E.T.A., 2 p.m.

Now, Vern Van Zant said he got those...

brand-new tattoos just for this occasion.

Well, Vern, don't look like...

the parry s gonna last too long for you.

This guy is a bum... big, uncoordinated motherfucker.

Nine...

Look at me! You OK? Box!

Ah, here we go again! Monroe's on the hunt.

Vern, swinging and a-missing,

Ooh! And another left, right to the midsection,

Left and right uppercuts to the head!

Right to the head! Right to the stomach,

This guy's just a-swinging and a-missing!

Hits him with a left and a right!

Monroe's just tearing his ass up,

Right in the face! Right to the head!

Left to the midsection! Right to the head!

Another left and a right!

Oh, my God, he shined his head up!

I told you, he's shinin' it up!

One more time for Monroe,

Knockout! Knockout!

One round, motherfucker!

That's it! That's it!

It's done! This fight is over! Monroe wins again!

Spit it.

Yeah, but I got a little announcement for you.

Got a little announcement for you.

Little news bulletin.

Y'all been wondering when that day is coming.

Well, that day is tomorrow. He's coming to Sweetwater.

The so-called undisputed...

heavyweight champion of the world...

George "Iceman" Chambers!

What do you say to that, Monroe? You ready?

OK, here we go. Tape rolling.

Former world heavyweight champion...

George "Iceman" Chambers...

now you'll be moving to a new home...

going to live with murderers and thieves...

in California's newly-built...

Sweetwater Prison in the Mojave Desert.

How's all this going for you?

I'll be OK. I got a bad break.

I just gotta play this thing out.

Your lawyers have filed all the expected appeals...

but realistically, what do you think of your chances,,,

of getting out before serving...

the full sentence of 6 to 8 years?

I'm not supposed to talk about that legal stuff.

My people don't want me commenting on that.

Boxing experts tend to agree...

that even as little as two years in a prison...

without proper training could mean the end...

for a boxer your age. Now, you're regarded...

as one of the greatest offensive fighters...

in the history of the sport...

an attacker like Dempsey, Joe Louis...

Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier,

Just exactly how damaging to your skills...

is this prison stint likely to be?

No damage. I'll stay in shape, work out...

watch what I eat. I'll be fine.

But when an athlete is removed from competition...

That's where you're making one big mistake right off.

I'm not an athlete. I'm a gladiator.

How do you define that?

People play baseball. Nobody plays boxing.

Iceman, last week after you were convicted...

boxing's various so-called governing bodies...

began stripping you of your title belts...

stripping you...

Who they think they kidding?

Everybody knows I'm the champ.

And I'm gonna be the champ till I quit.

This fight with Manfredy is meant to be...

just a tune-up for George "The Iceman" Chambers...

hopefully leading to the unification bout...

with Montel Briscoe...

undefeated holder of the WBC crown,

The two biggest names in boxing on a collision course...

sometime next year...

assuming the Iceman gets by the South American challenger,

It's round 1 and one to go, and it's all Iceman!

He's stalking Manfredy, chasing the big South American,

Iceman with a right, another right,

Another right and a left to the body!

Oh, and a right-hand uppercut, That staggered Manfredy!

Iceman stalking him, He knows he's got him hurt,

Oh, body shots! Right, left to the body!

Left hook and he's down! He's down! He's down!

That's why they call him the Iceman!

Well, Carlos Manfredy...

gets a one-way ticket back to Brazil!

George "Iceman" Chambers...

remains undefeated heavyweight champion!

And the big man on the block!

Are you fighting Montel next?

Just another sucker who's gonna get his ass whipped.

If the money's right, bring on Montel.

Nobody's running, nobody's ducking.

Nobody... I mean, nobody... can stand up to what I got.

Does that include Montel?

Oh, yeah, that damn sure includes Montel.

Mr. Lewis!

Estimates are up to 300 million dollars...

for the pay-per-view gate alone.

Any comment on that?

Let's make the deal first.

But my first guess is you're a few million short.

And, Iceman, it's nine months till summer.

What's next for you?

Well, first of all, I'm gonna go to L.A...

you know, see some friends...

then I'm gonna do a little partying.

Hey, hey...that's it.

I've done things in my life...

maybe I shouldn't have. I know that.

But I did not want to, and I told him "No."

You'll be moving into a new home...

going to live with murderers and thieves...

in California's newly-built...

Sweetwater Prison in the Mojave Desert,

Without getting into legal strategy...

let's discuss your trial.

You continue to maintain your innocence.

I didn't rape nobody.

I done a lot of wrong shit in my life...

but I ain't no punk-ass rapist.

Look at me. What I gotta rape somebody for?

Psst. Monroe.

You see him through the window?

Big deal's got his own helicopter service...

instead of coming in here on the bus.

He's the champ.

What's this shit? Don't think negative, man.
