Luther may just...
He may be just a...tiny bit raw.

:28:07
Well, raw's workable.
:28:09
Rotten isn't.
:28:15
Look, Felix,
l don't know what to tell you.

:28:17
- Hey, Felix, it's traffic, it's rush hour.
- Yes.

:28:20
This time every day.
:28:22
Hey, Luther!
:28:24
There he is.
:28:26
Felix Reynolds.
:28:29
This tired-ass old man
is gonna be my trainer.

:28:31
Lady, l thought you said
you had a plan.

:28:39
Let me see your stance.
:28:48
He ain't worth it.
:28:50
- Oh, well. Next.
- Next?

:28:53
Hey, do you see a line anywhere?
You stop being a brat and apologize.

:28:57
A brat?
What's that supposed to mean?

:28:59
Whatever it takes
to get him back. He is it.

:29:01
Hey, Felix!
:29:05
Now, Luther has
something to say to you.

:29:09
- Luther.
- Hey.

:29:11
Look, old man, hold up. No disrespect
intended, but what have you done?

:29:15
Who have you trained? Let's hear
some actual ring experience.

:29:20
You first.
:29:27
Was l right or what?
:29:28
Yeah, he packs a helluva
punch like you said.

:29:30
Combinations need tightening.
They're all over.

:29:33
But he's strong, got a great feint,
and he's a southpaw like Hagler.

:29:37
He could make some noise
in the middleweight division.

:29:40
All right. Time, boys.
:29:43
Well, if he can learn
to be a switch hitter,

:29:46
fight from the right-hand stance
as well as the left,

:29:48
- he could surprise some people.
- Left, right, whatever.

:29:51
- lt was all right?
- lt was better than all right.

:29:54
But you gotta get in shape,
you gotta get in boxing shape, right?

:29:58
Yeah, your body's strong.
Your mind...
