:48:13
You wanted to see the Iceman?
:48:15
Mr. Ripstein thanks you
for bringing him...
:48:17
to this neutral location.
:48:23
The Iceman doesn't want
any disappointments.
:48:25
He expects to negotiate.
:48:30
You have to understand...
:48:31
that Mr. Ripstein is
a great boxing enthusiast...
:48:33
a great student of the art...
:48:35
a great historian
of the prize ring.
:48:38
Mr. Ripstein
believes the truest,,,
:48:40
purest expression
of the sport,,,
:48:42
was the bare-knuckle fights
of the Nineteenth Century...
:48:45
the Queensbury rules.
:48:47
Oh, no, no.
The London Prize Ring rules.
:48:50
Queensbury changed the rules
to the ones that we got now.
:48:55
Look, let's cut through
all this bullshit.
:48:57
I want out.
Otherwise, no fight.
:48:59
How you gonna pull it off?
:49:02
We handle that through
the Department of Corrections.
:49:05
We got a guy on the committee.
:49:09
I got your word on this?
:49:13
You better get ready to fight.

# Train all day #
:49:16
# Train all day #
:49:17
# You know I gotta feel
the pain all day #
:49:19
# Work hard even if
it rain on me #
:49:21
# Nothing less than
five miles in the morning #
:49:23
# I'm jogging and yawning #
:49:24
# Stick and move,
intense, here we go #
:49:26
# One, two,
come up the ring now #
:49:27
# What you gonna do? #
:49:29
# Showboat when
I expose the ribs #
:49:31
# Watch for the hook #
:49:33
# Place bets, hey,
money on the books #
:49:34
# You ain't seen a fight
till you seen what I took #
:49:36
# I got precision,
the jab keep you #
:49:38
# At the perfect distance,
and it can be done #
:49:43
The fight is six weeks
from tomorrow night.
:49:45
Y'all got that amount of time
to get your fighters in shape.
:49:47
These are the rules.
:49:49
Mr. Ripstein has gone
through a lot of trouble...
:49:51
putting them together.
:49:52
What about a foul?
Who's gonna ref this thing?
:49:55
There isn't any referee.
That's one of the rules.
:49:58
What kind of shit is this, huh?
:49:59
Mr. Mercker can judge fouls
from outside the cage.
