1:03:00
Well, I'll keep my eye open.
1:03:02
You know, maybe--
maybe-- who knows?

1:03:04
The only thing is, Len,
he'd have to be as smart as me.

1:03:08
I'm sure there's somebody out there,
you know, that can--

1:03:12
- You'll find an equal somewhere.
- Yeah?

1:03:14
And don't worry, Len.
I gave up on you.

1:03:17
- M--
- I knew it couldn't be.

1:03:19
Let me tell you, at my age,
if I made love with you,

1:03:22
they would have to
put me on a resuscitator.

1:03:25
Ha.
1:03:26
- This is Max.
1:03:28
- Max.
- This is my kid.

1:03:30
- How old are you?
- I'm five.

1:03:32
- You're five? You gonna be a fighter?
- Yeah.

1:03:34
Max is gonna be
a middleweight when he gets older.

1:03:37
He's gonna be a heavyweight,
the way you're carryin' him.

1:03:40
I'm gonna teach you how to box, Max.
I'm gonna show you a combination punch.

1:03:44
One-five, one-five.
Two, three and four, you're gonna get.

1:03:47
- Hey, Ray. This is my kid Max.
- How you doin', Max?

1:03:50
Max is gonna be a middleweight
when he gets older.

1:03:53
- Maybe a heavyweight?
Yeah, I think a heavyweight.

1:03:56
- You wanna go hit the bag with me?
- Okay.

1:03:59
- Nice kid.
- He's a doll.

1:04:01
So, what's with
the Sanchez thing?

1:04:03
Is he gonna win that?
ls he training? ls he not training?

1:04:06
- He can do it. He's in
the best shape of his life.
- Yeah?

1:04:09
The only thing is, you don't know
what these guys do outside the gym.

1:04:12
- Well, that's the point.
You hear all these stories.
- He'll be all right.

1:04:15
Hey, Kevin, come here. I wanna introduce
you to my friend Lenny Weinrib.

1:04:19
- He's a sportswriter.
He writes about boxing.
- How you doin'?

1:04:23
- Listen, I'm gonna get
warmed up, all right?
- Show us what you can do.

1:04:26
- My hand's still a little sore.
- Wrap it up good. You'll be okay.

1:04:29
- I don't know that kid.
- This kid can move. He hits good too.

1:04:33
Got nice hand speed,
you know?

1:04:35
Only thing is, you don't know about
these guys-- sometimes they lack desire.

1:04:38
I seen it a million times. I don't know
if he's got the killer instinct.

1:04:41
Keeps talkin' about goin' back upstate
where he comes from on an onion farm.

1:04:45
- He wants to be an onion farmer.
You believe it?
- That kid's a farmer?

1:04:49
He's an onion farmer, yeah. I don't know
how long he's gonna stick around.

1:04:51
That's the problem. It's a shame too;
he hits like a fuckin' mule.

1:04:55
He's fast, but he wants to quit boxing,
go back and hang out on the farm.

1:04:59
You know, retire.
