Keep your chin on your left shoulder, Mike. Get that shoulder up higher. Keep your left out. Further. That's it. Keep him away from that left. Keep jabbing, Mike. Keep that left hand in his kisser. Get him off balance with it. Now the right. Okay, Mike. That's enough for today. Come on over here. I want to talk to you. Let me have that glove. I'll take it off for you.
There we are. Feels good to get that mouthpiece out of my jaw and these gloves off, Sammy. How'd I look in there today?
You'll do. Throw this robe over your shoulders. I want you catching cold right now. There you are. Now let's have that helmet you're wearing. I'll put it away with the rest of the stuff.
Good enough, Sam. Well, what goes on now?
Nothing. You take a shower and you go home. Take it easy. No more workouts till the big fight tomorrow. Then nobody will be calling you Mike anymore. They'll be calling you champ. Think so? Sure. What's the matter? Don't you like the idea? Are you kidding?
How does Mike Daggett prepare for his big fight?
Mike Daggett, heavyweight champion of the world. You've come a long way, kid, and I'm the guy who brought you up there. Yeah, I know, Sam.
Thanks a lot.
Oh, forget it.
Oh, look, uh, I gotta stop and see my girl on the way home. That's okay, isn't it?
Well, uh, it ain't okay, Mike. Huh? I got nothing against Billy Stanley. She's a good kid. She's for you all the way. Only, fighters and females don't make so good. At least not before a big fight. Look, Call her up. Well, what you say goes, Sam. Say, look, you really think I got a chance against the champ? This isn't any pep talk you've been giving me. Oh, you're a cinch, Mike. Only thing that can stop you tomorrow is the referee counting ten over that cheese champ. He's a pushover, Mike, a pushover. You really think that, don't you, Sam? Think it, I know it. By tomorrow night, you'll be champion of the world. Think of that, just think of it. I've been thinking of it, Sam.
And right now, it's the one thing in the world I'm afraid of.
Yeah, who was it?
Me, Silk. Sam Billings.
Come in and sit down, Sam. I want to talk to you. Okay. I sent for you so I could make you a present of some easy cabbage. Sit down, kid. Sit down.
I come over because it was near the gym when I just got finished watching Mike Daggett work out. Uh-huh. Not because you sent for me, Silk.
What challenges does Mike face before the championship match?
Well, you won't be sorry. Sam, I've been managing the champ for eight years now. Yeah, I know. We got a couple of more years of easy dough ahead of us if... if your boy don't cop the duke tomorrow night.
I ain't doubting that, Silk. My boy's a breeze to win. I know it, he knows it, and you know it, or you wouldn't be sending it for me.
Maybe, maybe, but, Sam, look, we ain't in this business for love, are we, huh? No. No, none of us are. Now, suppose I fix it so you and your boy make more dough by losing. You, uh, interested?
You want Mike to lay down?
That's right. On a golden pillow with an awful lot of cash for a blanket. Hey, where you going?
Out. No dice on your deal, Silk. Mike fights clean. He fights honest. That's it.
Not yet, it ain't. You stand between me and a fortune, Sam.
If I am, I ain't moving out of the way.
Oh, okay. Want to play rough, huh? I'll toss you out of here right in your ear, Sam.
Hey, don't call me you.
Sure, but this is just a sample of what you get if you let your lip get loose. See, I wouldn't say anything about our conversation if I were you, Sam.
If I wouldn't throw a fight, you'd throw me out of your office.
That's right. Only that ain't all I'm going to do. Your boy's going to lay down tomorrow night, Sam. One way or another...
Look, Billy, I shouldn't even be here. Sam told me to call you up, made me promise I'd go right home so I'd be in shape to fight tomorrow night.
Well, I'm sorry, Mike. I don't mean to quarrel, only I can't help it.
What are the events leading up to the fight?
Why can't you see things my way? I can, baby.
And maybe you aren't wrong, Billy, but give me a break. Look at what I put into this fighting business.
