"To be honest with you, Danny..." "I didn't you see you winning." "In fact, I saw you getting hurt... badly hurt." "What do you mean, badly hurt?" "Badly hurt how?" " We don't need to hear this crap..." " No, I want to hear him out." "What do you mean?" "Go ahead, I want to understand." "I saw Tibbs hitting you hard." "I saw you fall." "I saw you lying there in the ring." " You were dead, Danny." " Dead?" "Just because he saw it that way doesn't mean it has to happen." " There's still time..." " Okay, who sent you?" " Nobody sent me..." " It's Tibbs' people, right?" "That frigging Jimmy D!" " This is all some kind of setup." " John is trying..." "Trying to mess with my fighter's head!"

"Avila may be an underdog, but you can't claim this is a total mismatch." " He's passed all his medical exams." " We just told you a man's gonna die." "There's got to be something that you can do."

"Is it not true that you're carrying on a malicious campaign to undermine the legitimacy of a rigorously planned and vetted business enterprise, to wit:" "This fight, first by claiming spurious knowledge of the outcome..." " If you're referring to the headline..." "...and now, I hear, raising medical concerns about my fighter?" "Which are ridiculous on their face, because not only is Darryl Tibbs in top physical condition..." "Actually..." "Jimmy..." "Mr. Smith's concerns relate to Mr. Avila." " They do?" " Not to put too fine a point on it, but he's convinced your man's going to knock him dead... literally." "He's saying Darryl's going to kill the sorry son of a bitch?" "Now, of course, this is highly unusual, but I suppose we can require additional medical testing, maybe an MRI." " That's not gonna change anything." " I'm afraid it's the best we can do." "We can't just stop a fight based on some psychic's vision." "That doesn't mean we can just ignore this kind of information." "Mr. Smith, I apologize." "I'm a businessman." "I thought you were playing some angle here, trying to hurt Darryl somehow." "But if you're sincere..." "If we don't stop this fight, a man is going to die." "That would be a tragedy for both Darryl Tibbs, as well as Danny Avila." "Then we're going to have to make sure that that doesn't happen." "You think they'll call off the fight?" "Sounded like it." "Maybe we'll get lucky." "Mr. D has called a press conference for 9:00 a.m. Tomorrow morning." "He'd like you to attend, Mr. Smith." "You will be available?" "Absolutely."

"Jimmy D:" "As you all know," "Ali-Liston II was the last big fight to be held in Lewiston." "That's why Jimmy D Presents was proud to bring boxing back to Maine."

"Mr. Smith, I see you lurking there in the shadows, like some prophet of gloom and doom, afraid to face the light, but I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Smith, and say that your dire prediction will not dissuade this brave young man." "Prediction?" "What's he saying?" "That's right." "Maine's own Johnny Smith has made a psychic prediction that Danny Avila will not only lose this bout on Friday, but he will lose his life." "Does that prospect frighten you, Mr. Avila?" "I've got a prophecy of my own and I'll make it come true with these." "Mr. Tibbs, how do you feel about this?" "I'm gonna put him down, and I'm gonna put him down hard." " If he ain't dead, he'll wish he were." " Whoa, there you have it, folks!" "Call it a grudge match, call it a death match, but whatever you call it, do not miss this bout on Friday." "Because you're going to want to see how this one ends." " Is this true, Johnny?" " Mr. Smith, what did you see?" "Johnny, what did you see?" " Just one question." " What did you see?" " Mr. Smith?" " Johnny!" "(music playing on TV)" "And in other news, the return of big-time boxing to Lewiston, Maine" " taking a strange twist..." " A very strange twist." "...with a psychic's prediction that challenger Danny Avila will die during his middleweight championship fight with the champion Darryl "The Terminator" Tibbs." "Is this boxing or professional wrestling?" "One thing I can tell you, interest is skyrocketing, along with ticket sales, which of course make promoter Jimmy D very happy." "But not everybody up in Maine, apparently." "If Johnny Smith says a man is going to die, then a man will die." "What saddens and quite frankly disgusts me is that his gift of prophecy is being used to publicize this event rather than cancel it." "Have we become as debased as the Romans when they threw Christians to the lions?" " That's all I have to say." " You tell them, Gene." "(doorbell rings)" "I didn't expect to see you here." "Wasn't expecting to be here either." "Nice crib." "I guess being a psychic pays pretty good." "Actually, my last paying job was as a teacher." "This was my parents' house." "It's held in kind of a trust." "Still, gotta cost you a couple bucks to keep it up." "I don't sell my services, if that's what you're getting at." "Look, Danny, I'm not working an angle for Jimmy D or anyone else." "Then why the hell are you trying to screw this up for me, huh?" "You got any idea what this fight can do for me and my family?" " What do you mean?" "Money?" " This is a title fight... a championship fight that I worked for, that I earned!" " Do you understand?" " I'm not trying to hurt your career," " I'm trying to save your life." " This is my life!" "You stay out of it." "Why, because you're starting to believe me?" "Did you hear what I just said to you?" "Were you hoping I'd admit that this was just a lie, a scam, a curse?" " Something I could take back?" " I'm telling you to shut up." " 'Cause I can't take it back..." " I said, shut up!" "Just like I can't stop what I'm seeing," " what I'm seeing right now!" " Shut the hell up!" " You're lying on that canvas." " Vic:" "Come on, Danny!" "Corner man:" "Vic, he's not breathing!" "Vic's trying to revive you, but he can't, because you're already dead!" "You want to change the future?" " You want to live?" " Man:" "Back away." "Give him room." "Then quit." "Walk away." "I ain't walking away from nothing!" "I ain't never ran away from a fight in my whole life, and I ain't gonna start now." "Now you... you stay away from me." "And you stay the hell out of this fight." " You sure this is the spot?" " Yeah, we got here early." "Next question:" "Why are we here?" "It occurred to me while Avila was pinning my head to my stairwell, that maybe we're going about this the wrong way." "If we can't stop this fight, maybe we can arrange for a different ending." "You're thinking about using your abilities to help him win?" "(softly) I don't know." "I don't know." "I'd settle for helping him to survive, but I can't help him if I can't get near him, right?" "He won't talk to me anymore, his trainer's thrown us out of the gym." "We need somebody who can talk to him, somebody he trusts." "Johnny:" "There she is." "Helena:" "You have to understand boxers." "They think if they admit their fear then they're finished." "But I know my husband, and he is afraid." "Anyone would be afraid of dying." "Yeah, maybe it's that." "Or maybe it's something that scares him just as much." "Failure." "The end of all his hopes and dreams." "I don't know." "What I do know is that he's never going to quit, no matter how scared he is." "Then help us." "Use what I saw to change the future... your husband's future, your child's future." "How?" "Danny, look..." "What the hell are you doing bringing them here?" "Helena:" "Be quiet, please, and listen." " They want to help you, Danny." " Vic:" "Yeah, sure." " Help him into a coffin." " Helena:" "That's not true!" "Please listen to what he has to say." "If not for you, then for me." " I told you, I ain't quitting!" " I'm not asking you to." " The why are you here?" "!" " Like your wife said, to help." " How the hell will you help me?" " By using my abilities... to guide you in any way I can." "Okay, I listened." "Now get out of here!" "Hey, hey!" "You watch Tibbs' fight tapes, right?" "Yeah, sure, we always watch the tapes to see what a guy does." "No, no, no, to see what a guy did... in the past." "What if I told you Johnny could show you fight tapes in the future so you could see what Tibbs is going to do on Friday night?" "Okay, okay... let's assume that you're not totally full of it." "You can do that?" "Possibly." "Trust him, Danny." "I've seen him do some amazing things." "Vic:" "We've got two days left." "I know you can win this fight, Danny, but you're the one that's got to believe it." "This is all about your head now." "It's your fight, kid." "There ain't no second place here, man." "If you're in my corner, you better fight to win, just like me." " Are you down with that?" " Yeah." "Commentator:" "Tibbs worked his way off the ropes, and now Avila is getting a taste of that left hand, Teddy." "Teddy:" "Avila is bending straight back." "You go straight back, you're still in the line of fire." "The left hook." " That's how it starts." " That's how what starts?" "It's the last combination in the 12th round." "It's always the same." "Okay, left hook, then what?" "A right..." "a straight right." "Only he rotates his body after he throws it, like this." "The "Fitzsimmons Shift"!" "Bob Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons, first triple world champ." "He'd use his right to shift to a southpaw stance then throw a big left hook to the solar plexus." "Devastating." "Okay..." "what's he throw next?" "Johnny:" "Yeah... it's a left to the body." "Then a right uppercut." "Then a left hook to the head." "The last left hook blindsides you on the temple." "Assuming this ain't just a circus act, it's the shift that sets it all up." "I ain't seen a guy use it for years, but I know Tibbs' trainer." "He's the kind of guy who'd dust it off, see if they can catch us napping." "Mr. Smith, you can step out of the ring." "Get Danny's gear on." "Carl, get your ass in there." "We've got work to do." "That's it, Carl, beat on him like you just found him screwing your wife." "Remember, kid, this happens, it's gonna be after 12 long rounds with the toughest middleweight out there." "Now!" "That's okay, that's okay." "Remember, when you see that shift, to drop your right elbow to block that body shot, 'cause that's the killer." "Then get your gloves back up before the uppercut or you'll be wide open for that left hook." "Half an inch is the difference between life and death." "Got it?" " I got it!" " Then do it!" "Now!" " Piece of cake, Vic." " Sure, when you see it coming." "Carl, this time, you pick the moment." "Like I said, Vic, I got it." "You're still late getting that glove back up after dropping the elbow." "Tibbs throws this combo at you, it'll be like trying to catch a bullet with your teeth... any doubt, the slightest hesitation, and you're dead." "Let's go." " I can't get my head over there." " Come on, kid, get it down." "Get your eyes down." "Come down here." "Like what, this?" "* You gotta bob and weave 'cause they try to deceive *" "* You gotta cover your wounds, don't let 'em see you bleed *" "* It's time to make my stand, wave my fists in hand *" "* I draw my sword 'cause this village is damned *" "* It's like war, are you feeling hardcore?"

"That's the rhythm." "That's it, kid!" "Thought and action become one thing." "No hesitation, that's the key." " I think he's got it licked." " I sure hope you're right." "Okay, that's it." "That's enough." "Come on out." "Weigh-in's tomorrow." "Go home, get some rest, think happy thoughts about killing the bastard." " You looked good, man." " I feel good." "I'm ready." "What's the matter?" "You don't believe me?" "Go ahead, man." "Take a look." "You're ready, kid." "You said so yourself." "Leave it at that." "I'm telling you, man, I ain't scared anymore." "John, come on, man." "Come on." "I'm sorry, Danny." " Nothing's changed." " What?" "!" " You're lying, man!" "You're lying!" " Vic:" "Danny!" " You're wrong, man!" " That's it." "Come on." "Danny:" "You're wrong!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Get up, bitch!" "Yo, Frank, get me another one in here, man." "One who can hit." "No, don't you worry, my friend." "Your assistance is greatly appreciated." "Yes, it will be amply rewarded." "Andrew, tell ESPN Darryl will do a one-on-one with "SportsCenter."" " Yo, Jimmy..." " Listen, I just got off the phone with one of my contacts over at the Avila camp." "Seems our friend Mr. Smith is sleeping with the enemy." "They really must be running scared if they think a psychic'll help them." "That's what I want to talk to you about." "Listen..." "what if this Smith guy's right?" " What if I really kill this dude?" " You're feeling guilty already?" "No, man, I mean, can I be prosecuted?" " 'Cause I can't go back to jail." " Darryl..." "I checked with the lawyers." "There's no problem." "Okay?" "So you put that out of your mind." "You get in there and you do what you do best." " All right, dawg." " All right." "Darryl:" "Well, what you waiting for, chump?" "Step on up." "I know what you're thinking, but you did everything you could do." "It still didn't make a damn bit of difference." "He beat the combination every time in practice." " You gave him a fighting chance." " But I'm still seeing him die." "What if the problem isn't how he blocks the jab?" "Or how he counters the Fitzsimmons shift?" "Then what?" " Then it's me." " That's crazy, John." "No, it isn't." "I made a self-fulfilling prophecy." "You heard his trainer." "One bit of doubt, one bit of hesitation, he's dead." "And who planted that doubt in his head?" "Me!" "Danny Avila believes in me, in my prediction, more than he believes in himself." "So if this is a self-fulfilling prophecy... maybe it's the prophecy that needs to change." "Change how?" "You mean, lie to him about what you're seeing?" "Make him believe that he's going to win?" "Maybe believing in a lie... is better than knowing the truth." "That's a scary thought, John." "Daniel Avila, 1571/2." " (all cheer)" " Yeah, move it, bitch." "Yeah, you bad." "You better get measured for your box, 'cause I know I'll put you in it." " Vic:" "Save it for the ring, kid." " I'll save it for his wife, 'cause I know she's going to need some consoling." "Reporter:" "What do you see, Johnny?" "Avila still gonna die?" "He's going down!" "Oh, he's going down!" " Reporter:" "Who, Johnny?" "Avila?" " No, Tibbs!" "Darryl Tibbs." " Whoa, whoa..." " Going down, Tibbs." "Don't listen to this man." "Obviously he's a fraud." "Commentator:" "Two teams of paramedics, Boston's top neurosurgeon, and cardiologist... we've been talking about it all week... our friend Jimmy D may be going overboard here." "It's possible, especially since this soothsayer Johnny Smith all of a sudden completely changed his prediction." "Now he's got the other guy knocking Tibbs out." " What's the story with that?" " The gentleman's prognostications have proven a tad capricious, but I'm not about to risk the health" " of either of these brave gladiators." " Let me ask you this:" "You about to risk your own prognostication?" "Only that we're in for one hell of a scrap." "Now if you gentleman will excuse me, I have to wish my fighter good luck." "There goes a guy who's never at a loss for words or for tricks." "Still, you've got to wonder if the underdog Danny Avila isn't getting a psychic boost here from Johnny Smith's latest prophecy." "Remember to keep that right up, or you'll end up as ugly as me." "Helena:" "You mean as handsome, don't you?" "I can't wait to get this on." " You see how it's gonna happen?" " I just saw him going down." " Remember you've got to put him there." " I know." "No problem." "Babe, my sister's waiting for me." "Good luck." "Don't worry." "I ain't the one that's gonna need it." "Thank you." "So, Vic, we got jackets for these guys or what?" " Yeah, they're right there." " Hey..." "You guys are going to be my corner, you gotta look sharp, right?" "Listen... how about everyone give me a minute with my medicine man here?" "You keep warming up." "Bruce:" "Danny..." "handle your business, boy." " It's all a crock, ain't it?" " What do you mean?" "You didn't see me taking Tibbs down." " You still think I'll die in that ring." " I told you what I saw." "Yeah?" "Then tell me again." "Tell me what you see right now." "Come on." "It's just like I said." "You hit him..." "he goes down." "My visions have changed, Danny." "Because the future has changed." "I see that you're going to do this." "And I see..." "it's going to happen." "You've got to believe." "Five minutes." "Time to get your gloves on." "Don't forget your jacket." "Like I said, you gonna be in my corner," " you gotta look sharp." " Yeah." "I lied to him." "I touched him then I lied right to his face." " I thought that was the game plan." " Only it isn't working." "Nothing's changed yet." "He must not believe me." "Maybe he'll believe it when you do." "Believe what?" "I told you it's a lie, remember?" "It's not a lie, it's hope!" "Like my dad used to say, "What makes hope reality... is faith."" "Bruce:" "John..." "John!" "You've done everything you can do." "Why not just have some faith... in yourself... and Danny Avila?" "Commentator:" "Danny Avila really wants that belt, but Tibbs won't give it up." "Just under a minute to go in round number five." "Come on, jab!" " Vic:" "Watch your jab, kid." " Keep your hands up." "I'm really impressed by how tough and determined Avila has been." "Still, he's paying a price for that courage." "Teddy:" "Paying a big price." "And he's got to start taking that left hand away with his southpaw jab." " Come on!" " Danny, get out there!" "Commentator:" "A little work to the body right there." "Back to that jab consistently comes Darryl Tibbs." "And again, a little opportunity there for him, because Avila goes straight back and he's still in the path of the punch." "And once again, there's the jab in the right hand." "Commentator:" "Tibbs continues to press the action here." "Man:" "Get off the ropes!" "Get off the ropes!" "And a bad cut has opened up over that left eye." " (bell rings)" " You're lucky, boy." "You're going down." "Teddy:" "And the key, Joe, it's over the eye." "That means the blood's going to pour into it." "He's having enough trouble dealing with the punches." "This won't help any." "Vic:" "Give me a gander at that cut." "Okay... that's it." "Breathe nice and easy." "That's it." "Corner man:" "Stay the course, baby, stay the course."

"It has been a very long evening for Danny Avila." "He's been taking a lot of leather." "It's time he starts dishing some out." "He's got to start putting punches together." "He can't do the "one punch at a time." He needs a knockdown to get this fight." "Let's be honest." "We know why people are interested in this 12th round:" " The prediction by Johnny Smith." " That's a mental thing right now." "He's got to put that out, because that's a bunch of crap." "He has to concentrate on one thing:" "Winning this round." "That is his life right now..." "winning this round." "Darryl Tibbs..." "loads of confidence." "Three minutes to go, middleweight championship of the world on the line." " How are you feeling?" " I'm all right." " I just need a second wind." " How does that cut look?" " Not good." "Keeps opening up." " I'm calling the doc." " What?" "!" "No way, Vic." "No way!" " That cut's bad." " You could be risking the eye." " No way you're calling this fight." "You fought a great fight, but it's still just one fight." "Danny:" "I'm going out there." "I can do this!" " Give me the mouthpiece." " (bell rings)" " Give me the mouthpiece!" " Joe: 12th and final round..." "Danny Avila has said for so long he just wants a shot at that middleweight title." "He's got three minutes to make the most of it." "Teddy:" "And he's doing it." "He knows exactly what he has to do:" "Come out firing and let the leather go." "Joe:" "Good work in the corner by Avila against Tibbs." "Tibbs has to do something to get himself out of there." "Teddy:" "He just did!" "He pushed off, and got just enough distance to get the punches off." "Yeah!" "Come on!" "Come on, get up!" "Get up, punk!" "Danny... oh God." "(distorted voice) One... two... three... four... five... six... seven..." "(crowd cheers)" "Joe:" "Wait a minute here, folks, he's getting up on his feet!" "Teddy:" "Avila did block some of those punches in that devastating combination by Tibbs." "Joe:" "Avila back to his feet courageously here." "Let's see what he has left to close out this fight, if he can even survive." "Teddy:" "The story now is just that he got up." "Who cares who wins." "Not only did he get up, now he's on the attack." "Look at this!" " That's my boy!" " Get him!" "Where did Danny Avila come up with this?" "There you go, baby!" "There you go!" "(whistles)" "(bell rings)" "Teddy:" "To the bell with Tibbs on the ropes." "Joe:" "Darryl Tibbs, the champion of the world, just saved by the bell against hometown hero Danny Avila." "What an amazing effort... a miraculous turnaround here in the 12th round." "He may not come up the winner on the score cards, but this is going to be a memorable night for our viewers on "Friday Night Fights" for years to come." "(panting)" "I don't know about you, but Danny Avila has made a believer out of me." "Teddy:" "Avila has brought new meaning to that old saying, "Diehard kid."" "This is the real "Diehard kid."" "Joe:" "That was a great, courageous 12th round by Danny Avila." "So what do you think the turning point was?" "Johnny:" "Well... it could have been at the weigh-in." "It could have been the dressing-room before the fight." "But then again..." "What?" "Well..." ""You change one detail, and all life changes.""
