"He knew that I loved him." "I know he did." "I know it." "He knew." "That's what's gonna happen." "I think it's gonna go the full five rounds." "Oh, boy." "Oh, boy." "I'm excited, man." "I mean, come on." "You got two, you know, legendary fighters facing off against each other." "It's gonna be incredible." "I agree with you." "And, uh, also, Alvey, he's gonna have to deal with the loss of his 25-year-old s..." "Coach." "Am I late?" "I thought we said 7:30." "Couldn't sleep." "How's your weight?" "Nine over."

" Kayla." "Go put those in the truck." "I didn't know he had so much stuff." "I bought some flowers." "I thought we could walk to the beach." "That's good." "Okay, well..." "Whenever you're ready, we can go." "Yeah, this is the last of it." "I'll just meet you out there." "Do 30 minutes, 5-minute rest, 2 more 10-minute rounds," " and then we'll check your weight?" " Mm-hmm." "You use Albolene or the mineral oil?" "Albolene." "You should try the mineral oil." "It's better." "It's, like, it's less greasy and it actually opens up your pores better..." "Ryan..." "I don't give a fuck." "I want you to corner me." "Just you." "I'd be honored." "What about Jay?" "What about him?" "You don't want him in there?" "I need one voice." "Have you talked to him lately?" "Not since the funeral." "Maybe you should call him." "I have." "He'll come around." "He will or he won't." "I have a fight tomorrow." "You wanna help me focus on that?" "Yes, Coach." "You don't need to be here." "All right." "I'll check on you in a..." "in a few minutes." "Thank you for your help." "You're welcome." "The bags." "Hey." "Hey." "What's that?"

"Nate's whole world was his older brother, so I would like to welcome him to the stage to say a few words..." "Jay Kulina." "Thank you." "My brother Nate and me were raised by wolves." "I became one, but my brother did not." "And that worried me, because I was his older brother and I had to take care of him." "I had to protect him." "I had to teach him." "That was my job." "So I would say to him that the only way to get through life is to be violent and unyielding, and I would tell him that with a lacerated face and broken hands just to prove it." "Here we go." "And he would nod, and he would sew me up and wrap my hands." "And when I would rant about how life will fuck you and tear you down... and steal from you... he would nod and he would wipe away my tears." "And when he would find me on the floor with my body shot full of dope, because sometimes" "I don't believe a fucking word I'm saying, he would not call me a fraud." "He would pick me up and he'd put me into bed and he would say," ""Jay..."" ""I got you." "It's all right."" "Nate was kind, he was courageous, he was brave, he was loyal, he was unrelenting." "And he was an absolute savage in this cage." "My brother was also gay, which I think a lot of you knew."
