He loved to box.
People on the outside had their eye on him.
:41:05
He was gonna come out of the Army
and go right up to the top.
:41:09
Well, one afternoon...
:41:11
...he and I were sparring in the gym.
:41:13
You know, kind of friendly-like.
:41:17
He must have been set pretty flat
on his feet...
:41:19
...'cause I caught him...
:41:22
...with a no-more-than-ordinary right cross.
:41:30
He didn't get up. He didn't move.
:41:33
He was in a coma for a week.
:41:36
Finally, he did pull out of it.
:41:39
Only, the thing was, he was blind.
:41:46
I went to see him at the hospital
a couple of times.
:41:51
Finally, I just couldn't go back.
:41:53
The last time he and I started talking
about fighting and....
:41:59
He started to cry.
:42:02
Seeing tears coming out of those eyes
that couldn't see anything....
:42:32
I thought I ought to tell you.
:42:34
Holmes spoke to his boxers last night.
:42:36
From now on, it's no holds barred.
:42:38
They aim to run you
right into the stockade if they got to.
:42:41
Let them.
:42:43
I'll help you as much as I can.
:42:45
But I can't go too far out on a limb.
:42:47
I ain't risking losing my stripes.
:42:49
I like this outfit.
:42:50
So do I. That's funny, ain't it?
:42:53
Yeah, that is funny.
