“- Lenny Carboni: I promise you fifty wins before Christmas.
- Burp: Your man gets in the ring forty of fifty times before Christmas he won't have enough brains left to tie his shoelaces. And then you'll have two cripples in the family.”

“If there's magic in boxing, it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.”
Morgan Freeman - Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris

“Boxing is an unnatural act. Everything in boxing is backwards: sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back. But step back too far and you ain't fighting at all.”
Morgan Freeman - Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris

“Boxing is about respect. Getting it for yourself, and taking it away from the other guy.”
Morgan Freeman - Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris

“Instead of running from the pain like a sane person would do, you step into it.”
