1 00: 00: 05,000 -> 00: 00: 40,000
In this corner, Roberto Duran.
And in this corner, Benny Huertas.
Duran vs Huertas, MGM 13 September 1971
Instinct in the ring is art.
A gift from God that flows out of the boxer...
Like a painting flowing out of an artist.
You are blessed with that since the day you were born...
Or you are cursed don't have that...
Until you die.
In 66 seconds, Roberto Duran changed my life.
Here it is.
22 KO wins in 25 matches.
You can make it a champion.
I know that.
I don't think you need me, Carlos.
The child has everything.
But he is still wild.
Not disciplined.
He will not be able to become champion of the world with his own efforts.
He grew up on the street.
Fight with everyone.
Hates everything...
Including the United States.
Including the United States?
His father is an American who leaves his mother.
You can help him, Ray.
I want to train this child , just...
I don't want... You know...
This is not easy.
I don't want to mess it up.
What is the "Wise Man"?
That was 17 years ago.
Do you think they still care? / Yes, yes.
I can pay you secretly.
They know all the tricks.
The only thing that exists in my mind is...
I have to train her free.
That's not a bad idea.
Cholo!
Hey.
Ice cream 31 flavors and I have everything!
There is a very, very important...
What I want to introduce to you.
The best trainer in boxing history.
Ray Arcel.
He has trained champions world more...
From anyone in boxing history.
Calm down. Don't look I like that.
Where are you?
I said I would take you to Madison Square Garden.
Have I ever promised something that didn't happen?
This person can make you world champion.
I don't need anything from Americans.
I know.
I have to go.
Hey, Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray...
Nice to meet you, Carlos...
After years.
We will talk again.
Thank you, Ray.
OK.
Hey.
What's wrong with you?
That's Ray Arcel.
Ray Arcel... 18 times world championships.
Plomo Quiñones...
Cero.
Now you have two coaches. You have Panama. Our Panama.
And you have people who know...
You are very brave, Eleta.
I try to make you a world champion. Don't you want to become a world champion?
Do you eat all the ice cream?
Of course! I bought it!
January 9, 1964
United States - Panama Canal Region
Since 1903, Canal Region...
Is the US territory that is controlled...
Right in the heart of Panama.
In 1964, the tension was increasing...
Panama students clash with the US military...
They want the right to fly flags on their own land.
Living Panama!
Panama!
Panama! Panama!
UNITED STATES! UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Run! Run!
Get out of here and swim!
Swim for your life!
Conflict takes place for three days...
And when it's finished, 22 Panama citizens...
And 4 US citizens were killed.
Mom, I get food!
Watch out for bullets, Roberto, hide here!
What are you doing, are you crazy?
Mango!
Wait!
You stole huh?
I know me, I don't need to steal.
Where did you get this?
That's paid for my work.
Thank you, son.
Duran has several teachers in his life.
One of the most important is Chaflan.
He is like a storyteller for his environment...
Which teaches children how to survive.
Mango for everything!
Now say thank you for the pride.
Thank you for the pride.
Mine is yours too.
And our property is yours too.
Thank you.
Left, left, left, right, left.
Numero dos!
Numero tres!
Numero cuatro!
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro!
Run! We are late!
Use a jab. Do not be careless.
Sir.
What's up, kid ?!
Do you want to train me?
Go to school. We work here.
Do you want to pay for my school?
Go, kid.
Look later.
Silence and boxing.
Boxing is fighting, you just can dance like my little sister.
Yes!
Standing you coward!
We are rich!
I don't know you're fighting!
Do you see? I will be a world champion!
Then you must take me to New York.
Let's eat!
Hide the money!
Give me the money, son.
Give me the money.
I don't have money.
He's just a kid!
How are you, son? / How are you.
All good? / Yes.
Good, all good.
I can get you out.
But let me explain...
If you get caught fight or steal...
I will bring you myself back and leave you here.
So you will train me?
Not everything will be this easy.
Sometimes...
You need to collect numbers.
There are techniques...
Rules.
Tricks.
Movement.
You learn all the that I say?
I will learn everything you want...
As long as you buy me ice cream...
Every time I "kill" one from that bastard.
Standing you coward!
Hey.
Panama City, January 29, 1971
Honey.
Look at it.
Hey.
Blond.
What is your name?
Do mice eat your tongue?
You don't want to tell your name?
Huh?
Can you speak English?
Can you speak Spanish?
Happiness.
Are you kidding me? Your name is "Happiness?"
Let me guess. Is this what you are looking for all your life?
Poor people are born happy.
Only rich people who know sadness.
Do you go again?
Come here!
Where did you take me?
It's okay, I don't bite.
You're crazy!
Marry me!
I don't even know you!
Exactly!
We will spend the rest of our lives we know each other.
You're really crazy!
I'm crazy for you.
I can't change who I am.
So you have to forget me.
Will you leave me here?
You can't forget me!
You will draw hearts on your book.
After that, you will look at me...
And you fall in love.
You're crazy!
What's wrong? What is this spaceship?
Gosh. He is very persistent!
This is Carlos Eleta, the richest person in Panama.
I've been looking for you for hours!
Stop shouting in front of everyone.
I want to meet you.
I hear you are invincible.
If you fight a clown, it's easy to win.
Do you want to be a world champion? I can help you.
Yes.
Can you speak English?
He sees me.
Yes, I can speak English.
Will take you to Madison Square Garden.
Let's go immediately.
Is this your plane?
Vamos, vamos, vamos./ Robert, Robert, Robert.
Don't look at him, don't look.
In the early 50's, I wanted to...
Bringing boxing to every city in America...
But "Wise People" in New York City...
New York City, September 19, 1953 Not happy about that.
Boxing is a New York City sport...
And it will stay like that.
But this national television tour from you...
Will distract from Madison Square Garden.
And we can't accept it.
I...
I think it will help you for the long term, Frank.
If you believe what I say.
TV will turn boxing into a national hobby...
And there will be lots of talented boxers and fans...
From each state comes to watching championship matches at MGM.
I don't care about other states.
New York is the "heart of the cow."
This is the best "meat". If you are a boxing fan...
Want to see the fight directly or in front...
Your little television, more well they understand...
That everything is in New York.
RAY ARCEL IN THE CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER ASSISTED IN SERANG BY MAFIA
Ray Arcel Pension! Is the Boxing World Retired?
When they know I'm safe...
We made a deal.
They will forgive my soul for I don't do business in the boxing world anymore.
This is a familiar smell.
Where are you from?
What are you talking about?
You go there?
Where?
That's what I said... Where?
Come on, you sound like I'm going with a woman or something like that.
I prefer you to go with some women.
Don't always be like a prosecutor.
I met an old friend.
That's okay.
I'm blonde.
I'm cooler with black hair.
I will be a widow who is very sexy.
Is that what you want?
How many years have I left you?
Ray...
These people will kill you.
Yes, after all I might be dead too.
That's a beautiful thing to say to your wife.
I mean not you, honey. I mean...
We are what we do.
And if you make money, you will become money.
That's what everyone wants...
That's what everyone really needs, it's just symbolic.
It has no value at all.
I have to do something I really care about.
I'm not a fool.
I know you suffer.
I understand, but the beast that manages everything.
I prefer life in fear.
Border between Panama City and US Canal Region
Faster, faster.
October 28, 1971
You have to study to breathe.
And you have to learn to spur yourself.
There are techniques and there are strategies.
The technique is every move you have, every punch you...
Covers all your short-term decisions.
Strategy is your plan for the whole game.
This is your long-term decision.
This defines how you apply the technique...
To achieve your ultimate goal.
It's OK if your technique fails to defeat your opponent...
As long as you follow the strategy.
Buchanan knows you will try drop him in the first round.
And he will wait for you to fatigue and defeat you, that's the strategy.
Comprende?
He hopes you will...
But if you slow down...
And continue...
Slow down, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow...
Buchanan will be confused.
Move away from the fence.
Sorry?
Move away from the fence.
Ah, shut up, stupid.
Do you think who you are, old man?
I'm Ray Arcel from Harlem, United States.
Do you know where that is?
And he is the future world champion who you are talking to.
Go.
He didn't realize he was in prison he thought he was in power.
We are in prison. / No, he is in prison.
They put prisons here. - No, no, he...
He... It's all in your mind.
Boxing is a sport mental, here.
What you do with your body, only one third of your work.
You have to learn to be a boss.
Say, "He's in prison."
Say it. "He's in prison."
He is in prison. / He is in prison.
See? He is in prison.
I thought I already told you to leave.
You're in prison.
You don't know when to stop, huh? / You're in prison.
Okay, alright. / You, you're in prison.
Let's go. - Do you want to go with this method? - You're in prison.
You're in prison.
I am champion. This is Panama.
Good.
Hook after punch right. Hook.
Faster. Jab. Jab.
Yes, yes, that's it.
That's it.
I see. So!
Good, good.
Ciao.
Hey, you're a boxer, huh?
Yes.
And you?
I heard you won.
Yes, it's easy.
Now I will fight for the world championship.
That's good.
Can I walk with you?
Where are you in school?
I'm a school at Plomo Quifiones.
Now I'm at Ray Arcel.
Ray Arcel?
Uh-huh.
American school?
Yes, American school.
You never went to school, right?
But you can read, right?
It's like a job interview.
I thought I was taking you home.
Yes.
I can go home by myself.
Why?
We come from different worlds.
It's all in your mind.
What?
It's all in your mind.
Replace with the right punch, change with the right punch.
First thing for future candidates world champions...
Is what luck is.
And luck is that you must learn how to seduce women.
Become a host in the ring.
This is your temple, and people do what you want.
Be the master of time.
You and only you must decide when to attack.
Enter it.
This is the kitchen.
Here.
This is my sansak.
Some perfumes.
Come see.
I've seen.
You don't like it?
I'm just not used to...
Hey, Ray.
How are you doing?
Don't be afraid.
You look healthy.
How is your wife?
He is good, thank you.
2O years since your heroic mission to develop boxing throughout the country.
Boxing has expanded. I'm not wrong.
Yes and no. But yes
Sports makes television fantastic.
And now you're back.
That's it.
I like you, Ray.
I am very sorry for what they did to you.
I don't have to check the horse's butt to find out if he's finished defecating.
I think we have agreed.
Indeed.
Maybe I'm a little confused about the agreement we mean.
You won't make money from boxing again.
I train it without pay.
You can ask Carlos Eleta.
He is the manager of his fighter.
You're a classy man...
But you won't teach me how to hide money.
Buchanan is favored 14 vs 3 against Duran, right?
That's right.
Duran will win.
Put all your money in Duran.
We make an agreement.
Release me if he wins, shoot me if he loses.
You're a classy man.
Mr. Arcel...
Why did you return from retirement? With an unproven fighter?
I just turned 73.
You know, 7 decades and changes.
I and Freddy Brown myself...
Maybe you have forgotten...
What are most coaches have experienced.
But I still remember well.
From years & 20s to 50s...
We live in an age of golden boxing.
Then the television takes over.
And we all become ambitious.
Sports change becomes a spectacle.
Show business with blood.
And that's a good thing, because we gather the audience...
The unthinkable amount we can achieve.
The problem is, like it or not...
Is that boxers start doing it...
For fame, greed, and self-interest.
Independent promoters disappear and with them...
Disappearing is also a true boxer, who is the blood of this sport.
Tonight, you will meet the best lightweight boxer...
New York in the last 50 years.
A true boxer who is hungry.
As in the past.
He has a soul, anger...
The mental energy and determination needed by this sport...
And that's why I'm here.
Because of the new golden era for boxing started with Roberto Duran.
With 28 wins, has never lost...
And 24 wins K.O...
From the slums of El Chorrillo, Panama...
Roberto Duran.
This is the World Champion, Lightweight...
Ken Buchanan.
Is she wearing a skirt?
He uses a skirt, Roberto!
A fucking skirt!
Invite him to the cinema.
Make the defense open. Then beat him.
Remember our practice. Strategy.
Excuse me.
It's started? / Just starting.
Duran vs. Buchanan, June 26, 1972
Duran certainly tries to make his record become...
9 K.O wins in the first round here.
He will exert everything.
Johnny records it as "Knockdown."
Break his body!
A little challenger more confident.
Buchanan gets the number from "Knockdown".
Kill him, Cholo!
Duran continues to hit.
Don't rush. You will defeat it. Go ahead.
Remember the strategy. He wants you to be tired.
I don't care about strategy. I will kill him. / Listen to me.
If you don't fool him with a jab...
He will beat you up. He is taller.
He is too tall for you.
Strategy. Stay with the strategy.
Fuck it! / No, don't say that.
Don't say that to me.
Fuck. Yes, yes, he is tall and he will beat me.
Do you work for him or something?
Are you insane? / Yes, he is higher than me...
What should I do? / I don't need this.
Yes, because he's white.
Look, stupid! / Really?
Do you want me to leave here? I can just leave you.
Take care of your behavior, act adults and stop being a baby.
I'm nervous, okay? / I know you're nervous.
But look at him. Don't make me worse, okay?
You yourself make yourself worse.
Okay, just calm down. No, you have to be calm.
Go there and show what you can do.
Run yourself.
You are the boss.
Continue to press him, reply with the jab.
Break the body.
Continue to press him...
Continue to put pressure on it.
What's this?
Duran pursues K.O's victory.
Bule is annoying, Cholo!
Eso una Perra blanca, Cholo!
Oh! He really beat him!
Buchanan is in trouble...
Make him defecate in his pants!
Buchanan's protective gear is dislodged!
Remember, Buchanan comes from a broken family.
Push him to the ring rope!
Cholo!
Johnny. Johnny.
That's a clean blow.
You have to know that.
We are in New York City, don't forget, don't forget.
I didn't hit the seeds. / No, no.
I hit his heart. / No, believe me, I know.
Duran! Duran!
He is fine.
He is fine. / I can hear you.
I can hear you, I'm fine.
I'm fine. / He's fine.
WINNER, ROBERTO DURAN
Hey!
Duran, Duran, Duran, Duran, Duran!
Hey!
We love you, Panama!
Duran, Duran, Duran...
Hey, Ray! Toast.
I want to ask you.
Why do you always comb my hair when we are in the corner of the ring?
When he hits you, he feels proud.
The bell rings, the next round of starts.
When you come back you look fresh, like you just finished taking a shower.
That makes him crazy. He thinks he can't hurt you.
That's all psychological.
Oh...
Strategy. / Strategy.
Aha./ Strategy.
Aha, you "Schumck."
Now you can speak "Yiddish" (slang).
Yes. / Yes.
"Schmlendeck."
"Schmendrick." "Putz."
Yes, child base "Putz!"
Hey, be careful of my hair. / No, no, I'm just...
I just...
Yes.
Just cut my stomach!
Don't split his stomach!
Empuja.
What is his name?
Roberto Duran.
She's a girl!
Girl again.
Roberto Duran.
You can't name they are all Roberto.
So we give him the name Robin, like Robin Hood.
We rob rich ones for given to the poor.
Another boy and his name are Roberto Duran.
And I don't want anyone to protest.
How are children? Have you eaten?
Yes!
Come drink soda.
What's wrong?
We have already spent 100 thousand dollars.
What's the problem?
We have money. Berdana is good.
Look at how happy everyone is.
Thank you for the food, Duran.
Jump! Jump!
We are here for participating in...
Signing of the agreement that will guarantee...
Peace and welfare...
United States...
With belief that justice...
And there is no coercion...
It must be located in the heart of our relationship...
With nations in the world.
Mr. President Carter Dear.
In the name of logical truth, I want to say...
That we will sign this agreement.
He signed the agreement!
Agreement signed! The canal is ours!
Blonde! Blond!
They will hand over the to us!
General Torrijos signs the agreement!
Don't believe the words Americans.
Come see what I bought for you.
But wait. This is important.
General Torrijos is a good person. - You want to see the original "Panama Canal"?
I've seen the "small canal" millions of times.
You say that because I see only "Sailing."
Sailing ship? I have "Titanic" here.
Then "sink" it.
All Panamanian people celebrate it on the road and you are not happy?
What are you happy for?
For what?
Of course, you never feel the chase of the Marines.
Sorry?
Girls rich people.
Stay away from me.
Now you're angry?
Yes. You talk carelessly.
Eh?
They offer to return your own territory in 1999.
In twenty years!
Damn basis, that's ours!
And that has nothing to do with rich or poor people.
It's a matter of common sense.
Now it's all messed up. I celebrate and you're angry.
If you want to make your people are proud...
This is the person you must defeat.
What is written there?
When will you learn to read?
What is written there?
"Boxer of the Year."
Boxers This Year? This clown?
He never fought with real men during his life.
He is a symbol of American sports.
My seed.
He is a symbol of American sports.
If you want an agreement Torrijos-Carter...
There is a meaning for this country...
Before 1999...
Destroy their idols and for them to respect Panama.
Their idol will be K.O in one round.
Let me see.
For you I have to spend 15 rounds or more.
Wow.
He is as fast as lightning, this man.
Montreal, Canada
He imitates Ali.
Blow it like a girl.
Yes, but he can attack and avoid you all night...
And collect tens of numbers with this punch.
He jumped here and there. Look at him. I mean...
The speed is like an animal.
You have to increase your speed.
If you really like him, why don't you just train him?
I don't like it, I respect him.
And you should respect him, too. Look at him.
No, you adore him, Ray. Go and massage his shoulders, you like him, right?
Come on, don't do it, come on. / So I'm slow now?
I don't know, it's up to you./ Now I'm slow?
No, go to his shoulder massage. Go with your people, Ray.
Maybe you have trained it.
I don't know where you are go every night.
You must be joking. Roberto!
No? Come on, stop it. Shut up and grow up.
Not everything must be near you.
I have responsibility. Come on, look at this...
They certainly know if I won't be able to defeat...
To defeat him.
I will beat he, you know?
I will beat him because I'm a great boxer.
And you know? / strategy and now sit down.
I will make him fight like a real man.
Sit down so that we can discuss strategies. / I've seen.
No, go.
I will defeat him. With my own strategy.
If you leave, I will pack and leave.
Go away. - You go, I go.
Please. / Ah...
"Schmendrick" damn.
Fuck you, damn "Schmendrick".
And you will tell your father, about me, okay?
Very funny.
That's Duran, right?
Yes.
Do you know he's here?
Manos de Piedra!
Look at this rich kid.
Is that a true boxer?
Or just a clown? Hey.
Respect a little Duran. He is with his wife.
What is that bitch kid here?
Or are you talking about the prostitute? Hei Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, respect little, man.
You talk to me, garbage?
Do you know who you are?
Remove your masculinity. Which I see you're just a "Golden Boy."
You think he can fight. Can you fight?
Hey, shut up. - Can you fight?
Let's leave here, Ray. Come on.
Come on. - You're effeminate, man.
You're just a clown. You can only dance and jump up and down.
Jumping and selling soda.
He will beat you up.
Shut up, bitch. / Oh, you bastard!
I will make love with your husband in the ring...
When I'm done with it, I'll make love to you all night. You!
Do you want to fight here?
What's wrong with you?
Wash your mouth before you talk to a woman!
Now, now, bastard.
I came all the way from Panama to fight this man.
And they give me an opponent a sweet child. What is this?
And you see, you see...
Ad diet soda?
And he calls himself "Sugar" (Sugar).
And he sells sugar-free soda.
Or maybe, maybe that's what we will get.
Sugar free fight.
I'm sorry, okay?
Sorry it's not enough.
Why can you do that? Insulting a woman like that?
What's wrong with you?
My country has been insulted by your country.
And not only women.
Children too.
What is the relationship between your country and the way you speak to that woman?
How do you behave?
Do you know how feels like starving?
I mean not just hungry.
Hungry that makes you have to go into the trash looking for food?
While American soldiers exploit your country?
Do you know how it feels?
So what does it have to do with what you just did?
What are you doing?
That must be done... / You know, you want to be...
You want to be a warrior...
You want to hurt your nation's heart, that's good.
Balanced your nation's hurt. Be a warrior.
But true fighters don't do what you do.
They don't insult women like you just did.
And if you still want I'm in your corner...
Don't do that again.
Okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
But I won't apologize to him.
I apologize to you...
But I won't apologize to him.
Let's just forget it.
What happened, happened.
Are you angry?
And let's...
Focus on the fight.
The anger you feel, I understand that.
You don't want to be a victim of your own mind game .
It's all in your mind.
Robert.
Why are you here?
If Ray knows, you die.
I can't sleep.
Is there a problem?
I don't want to disappoint tomorrow.
Father!
Hey!
My child! Good morning!
Kiss for Dad.
I can't wait to see Daddy killed the coward!
Don't talk like that!
But Dad said it on TV.
It's Father's job to talk like that.
So you won't kill him?
Of course, Daddy will kill the bastard.
That's just a game. Daddy spoke so so the fight was more fun.
Come on, get dressed.
Duran has changed to audience favorite...
After seeing the process training in the city.
He is so aggressive.
Tonight's referee is Carlos Padilla, who also oversees...
"Thrilla in Manila" between Frazier and Ali.
You have to let them fight or you will see...
Two people running all night.
To your corner. To your corner.
The greatest ring that I have ever seen.
Sugar Ray Leonard!
Audience scoffs at the Champion, Ladies and gentlemen.
This must be surprising for Leonard who is in this stadium too...
Never shocked the world with won an Olympic gold medal.
This is a beautiful day.
It's okay, baby!
This is your night!
You will die, Duran!
That's right. You don't mean anything.
Cholo fucks! / Yes.
Continue to paste him. Don't listen to the woman.
Don't let him screw up your mind. Don't let him.
It's better to lose than run away.
Look at him.
Boxing 15 rounds...
Strategy.
Presented by the promoter...
Duran vs. Leonard, June 20, 1980
This Canadian audience favored "Underdog" Roberto Duran.
Speculation has run rampant...
Will Leonard change this into a street fight...
Or use boxing techniques...
Who brought it here.
Leonard and Duran!
Duran enters with jab to Leonard.
Urge him! Keep pushing to the ring rope! Urge him!
Two boxers with their best condition .
Jab! Jab! Jab!
Continue! Continue!
Get out of there, get out of there!
That's not Leonard.
Leonard uses a short punch , not a long blow.
Rest.
Unusual, Leonard does not use the agility of his legs.
He sells and blows with Duran and doesn't want to back down.
He wants to prove that he's a real man.
Let him feel that.
Keep giving him hope until he is off guard and then finish him.
Look at me!
Who are you today? Hah?
I fight for my honor.
Fuck it all!
Make him fight.
Break him, champion!
Brackets him!
Duran! Duran! Duran!
Duran! Duran!
Duran landed the left hook to the neck...
Makes Leonard stagger!
Ankle! Ankle!
Dale Chucha tu Madre!
This is not Leonard who is as we usually see.
Can you believe Leonard is trying against hard loudly?
Duran presses again.
Leonard is free now.
The right punch is good from Leonard.
Rest. Separate. Separate.
The key to Leonard is his left jab.
But it must be supported by with the agility of his feet.
Now, it seems like he doesn't use his legs...
He just tried to drop Duran.
Come on! Beat him!
Now, Sugar Ray fights with enthusiasm.
You have to try to hit him, Cholo.
You will never know the decisions of the judges.
They can defeat us in this fight.
This is your best fight.
But you are still human.
You can still lose.
I want you to focus.
Will we become champions?
Tu eres mi campeon.
Stay away from the ring rope.
Last round, champion!
Now or not at all!
Round 15!
Not many people think the fight will be so far.
The audience all stands up.
In this fight in Montreal.
We are nearing the end of this fight. Come on, come on!
I can't believe what I see.
I can't believe what has happened.
Until the end, these two boxers keep beating each other.
Like they don't care that the bell will ring.
For this reason we are here.
We are witnesses of history.
Cholo, drop him!
Who still wants more?
Come on, Cholo!
An amazing fight!
And we are in round 15.
This fight will be brutal to the end!
We count down.
Six, five...
Four, three...
And the bell will ring!
That's it!
Look at these two fighters!
Take care of your behavior, your behavior, your behavior!
We can be punished, take care of your behavior. - You're trash!
We have seen this before, when the fight is over.
The decision is usually siding with the champion.
Who is effeminate now? Who are the transvestites now, bastards?
Maricon! / You bastard!
You just become my dick!
Robbie!
You win, my love!

World Champion, Roberto Duran!
Hello.
I call from Home Sick Coney Island...
A patient with heroin overdose.
Yes? / Patient records show he is the daughter of Ray Arcel.
No, this is the wife of Ray Arcel...
And my husband does not have a daughter.
You must be misplaced.
Sorry, ma'am. - It's okay. Good night.
What's wrong?
None. Only a wrong connection.
What does it say?
He said there was another man named Ray Arcel...
And her daughter was hospitalized.
What hospital? What happened?
I don't know, but I know I won't be able to sleep again now.
What are you doing?
Gosh.
Thank you.
I understand if you have a relationship with the patient.
Yes, I'm her father and...
I will be responsible for anything that is...
Why are you here?
For years have you just arrived now?
Why?
You don't have a boxer to take care of?
What are you doing here?
I don't want to look like this.
I'm not one of your teammates.
Hazel and I can't have children.
And we want to adopt.
We adopted Adele and when Adele was 4 years old...
Hazel dies.
I don't know what to do . I have no money.
I can't take care of him. I...
I think he will be better with my in-laws. I...
I should have told you. / Tell me?
How about it? What about girls who depend their lives...
In a hospital bed?
Hawaii, June 27, 1980
Sure. Leonard.
You are my friend now.
Honey, I want to show you something .
Yes?
What do you want to show?
Want to go in there?
Yes, we will.
But I want to show something before we do that, okay?
Just let me...
Let me...
Respect Sugar Ray Leonard?
Sure, of course. Leonard...
You're my friend now.
See this.
Leonard.
You're my friend now.
He did this intentionally.
He hurt you for drove me crazy.
To trap me in...
In the war of the macho man.
Ray, you're obsessed.
I tell you that is the strategy.
This is the strategy...
I will make love with your husband in the ring...
After I'm done with it, I'll make love to you all night, baby.
From the moment he insulted you...
He knew that he could enter my mind...
And makes me fight he is all out.
I never lose.
I don't lose.
Angelo.
Talk to Don King.
Duran cannot fight with anyone but me.
Immediately set the match again as soon as possible.
I tell you what I'm going to do, Carlos.
I will add two to eight...
And raise it to ten.
$ 10 million, Carlos.
You will be able to pay the highest boxer in history.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, boy.
I know you are happy hear that, Carlos.
I know you like to hear that.
Eva.
Hey, Cholo.
Cholo.
I'm tired.
Hey.
This week I call you on.
How are you, Eleta?
I have big news, Cholo./ What is that?
They want a rematch.
Who?
What do you mean? Leonard!
Leonard? Does he want to be beaten again?
I get the highest paid Welter class for you. / How much? How many?
$ 8 million.
Hey, Boba.
$ 8 million for repeat matches with me.
He must have been desperate.
No, no, that person needs money.
Cholo. Cholo./ What?
Look at me.
A little attention.
OK, alright.
I have to respond to these people tonight.
In front of these witnesses, did you accept rematch with Leonard?
I will fight it, but I won't make love to married men.
You drink a lot. You got fat.
You come to my house and say I'm fat?
Do you have a mirror in your house?
You yourself are fat. You get that fat from everything you eat...
From the money I make for you.
So what do you mean?
Parasites.
That's you, you are a damn parasite.
You call me fat, I call you a parasite.
Hey, hey. Hey, hey, Eleta.
Now you're angry, huh?
Hey!
What are you doing?
Don't you see you make we are all wet?
You're a damn parasite too!
I drove you away, I drove you away, stupid!
Rob, what are you doing?
He makes me wet.
Go you!
This is my house, you idiot!
Go or I'll beat you!
That's Chaflan, Rob!
Stop that, he is Chaflan.
Las Vegas, Nevada, July 30, 1980
Chivo, where is Cholo?
Cholo!
That's it, talk to him.
How are you?
I saw you on TV.
I am in this city and...
Saying to myself yourself, "Why not?"
Try listening...
I'm not proud of what I do.
You are the world champion.
He is still 14 years old.
There is no money.
Your son.
I served in the military.
And when they say you have to be in charge there is no if or but.
What do you want?
None.
Just want to say hello to you.
Hi.
I think you're American.
I'm American.
You're like a Mexican to me.
Mexican descent.
You think I'm blonde, blue eyes? / Yes.
I can't pull back what I've done.
All I can say is...
I'm sorry.
And I...
I'm proud...
You are my son.
Ladies and gentlemen...
I brought this event directly from Las Vegas.
Don't miss international events for all Panamanian people.
Let's play. Everyone see this ball...
Stop you!
I'm hungry, man.
Catch him!
A little salty...
But thank you.
Disgusting!
Your bastard!
While you are partying...
What?
Chaflan is killed.
Who told you?
You can't discipline him with forcing him to do something.
You have to let him live his life in a certain way.
Stunned!
I'm stunned!
And he will be stunned...
When he hears what you are doing.
And I have to explain to him.
Yes, I told him that I got him $ 8 million...
The most money... / He doesn't care.
Anyone has ever produced. But he didn't even know that.
He doesn't know that, even for himself.
That money is the most important thing.
He's a professional boxer. He can lose weight.
Three months to lose weight of almost 40 pounds.
Do you know what he did as a boxer?
I want the best for him.
I want us to do the best for him. - It's not the best for him.
The best for you but not for him.
That's your opinion.
I tell you...
This is not my opinion. This is a fact!
If he doesn't do this fight do you know what will happen?
He will fight boxers who don't have names.
He will lose and he will never ever in a million years...
Get money like I got now.
He is Duran. He won't lose.
He is Duran. When he focuses, no one can beat him.
You know that.
He wins.
Let him enjoy it. Let him party.
So why if he is partying?
So why if he eats?
Let him eat. Let him enjoy his time.
He never had anything. He never ate anything.
And now he finally got something.
He gets over his own business.
Nobody gave it. And you took it.
I have been dealing with these animals for the past ten years.
He, he is a good child...
He must be disciplined!
He will be disciplined! That's my job.
If he loses, then we can set another rematch and...
You're a paranoid pain who wants your pet to lose.
No, what I said, "If"...
Carlos, you have money. Ray.
Your family has money. Ray.
He doesn't have one. He doesn't care.
The most important thing for him is to win.
The most important thing for I is to win.
So respect that victory.
Right. I mean is...
If he loses, he gets rematch...
I'm done.
Panama Canal, US, 26 August 1980
I met my father.
Really? / Mm-hmm.
What is he like?
He is Mexican.
I thought you said he was American.
He is indeed an American.
I mean, he was born in America.
And I thought he would look like Paul Newman.
But he looks more like Pancho Villa.
Do you think he will look like Paul Newman?
No, but Charles Bronson, maybe.
You must learn to forgive others.
Carlos.
Why?
He agrees to rematch.
For when?
Three months from now. / That is impossible.
We must allow it. He has signed the contract.
He can't do it without permission from me.
He said you already gave him permission.
At your house, at a party.
In front of many people. Many witnesses, he said.
Hi!
Hi. All are insured.
So you can destroy all if you want.
No matter what happens, you have to do the fight.
You want me to call the police? / Yes, call the police!
They will imprison me and you will lose your $ 8 million!
Now, Cholo, you already understand it is business.
I'm not a prostitute! / Prostitutes are cheaper...
And prostitutes don't make a lot of trouble.
You have to practice now.
I've been practicing all my life _ my life!
Go home, Roberto.
If you lose, we can set the rematch.
I won't lose!
In Panama, nationalist demonstrations...
We have 75 days for lowering your 35 pounds.
You have to try, Cholo.
I don't want to do this, man, I want to rest.
Do you want to rest? / I'm tired, man.
Do you want to rest? / Yes.
You rest, you rust. And you know that.
You're the type of boxer who has to be ready to fight...
And if you stop practicing...
Then you will disappear, that's all.
And you can do this.
But you have to decide to do this.
No one can do it for you. No hero is lazing.
You have to do it yourself.
I work hard all my life , man.
I've worked hard all my life.
I don't have any food when I was little.
I'm hungry, man, I'm hungry.
I don't want to starve anymore.
I want to enjoy what I have, Ray.
Riots spread unexpectedly.
Police use tear gas...
And a water hose for expels the demonstrators.
I understand that.
I tried to convince Don King to delay the fight.
But we must be ready to fight if we have to.
Good.
Are you still angry?
I don't know what to say to you.
I'm sorry?
Yes.
I need you.
I don't want to fight.
Just focus on your training.
Why don't you come with children?
I want to meet you.
You need to rest, Robert. Sleep.
I love you.
Me too.
Do you realize I'm black?
Do you realize that I'm the only black promoter...
In this business and if you are procrastinating constantly...
They will bother me? / We don't delay.
He can't lose his weight.
It is impossible for him to reduce weight in a short time.
We have CBS. We have a stadium.
We can sponsor. We can get a ticket.
You can't talk to them?
Yes, I can just talk to them.
I will say, "Sorry, Mr. CBS, I need another month."
They will say, "No way, black negro."
That is what will happen.
Your pet must lose weight or he will be disqualified, point.
Yes, but you're just thinking about yourself.
You only think of Bob Arum.
You think, "I will look bad. because I'm the only Negro promoter."
With all due respect, that has no meaning at all.
You have responsibility for boxing.
Boxing?
Boxing has been run by gangsters, criminals and bastards since then.
Come on. Don't put it all on me.
Don't you dare blame me. / This is reckless production...
To start so fast when he is not ready.
I think if Roberto Duran, "Stone-hard-armed man."
If you challenge him, then he will be ready.
He has the spirit of Panama in his heart.
You don't need to tell me what it has.
I know he is better than anyone here.
OK, I'm sorry.
If you continue like this, Ray...
Then I have to sue you for breach of contract.
This is the mess you involve us in it.
Gosh, Ray, you scared me.
What are you doing here?
How can you enter?
Hey. What...
Hey...
Ray, we can't do this.
dear, baby, okay, come on.
Ray, listen, this violates the rules.
Your fight will soon.
Come on, come on, baby.
No, no, no, no, no.
Sst, shh, shh, shh.
This time is my rule.
OK?
You have to defeat Duran.
You have to embarrass him.
There, in front of everyone.
This won't work.
Sorry.
Sorry, you must maintain the title.
Or they will take it from you.
What? / They will take your belt.
But I won the match.
Everyone sees it.
They can't take it my belt just like that?
That's what they can do.
They will take it if you don't defend it.
New Orleans, Match Day
Roberto Duran has brought us in the new golden age of boxing.
But we here remind him that he doesn't care.
That decision is made in the back room...
And he's just a circus animal that we need for ticket sales.
Approved.
You will see blood in this fight.
I don't like clowns.
When you enter the ring, you come to fight...
Don't dance or band up.
He just imitated Ali, that's what he did.
He doesn't have any style.
I will drop you...
Because imitators are losers.
And I don't like you.
I think Duran is a loving man.
And I want my son to be like him.
Listen.
I think Duran is quite tough...
Impressive, smart boxer.
And we are in a serious fight .
You are angry.
Stop it.
Get it. You can't eat like this.
Get me the yellow one.
Why can't I get chicken wings?
You have eaten a lot.
And why are you staring at Leonard?
Don't start with that.
Do you think I didn't see you?
Don't fool me.
Do you think I'm stupid? / You're crazy.
I see him winking at you.
And you smile.
Former world champion...
Sugar Ray Leonard!
Will be a fight _ this century.
Enter the arena of Leonard and the group led by Angelo Dundee.
And here it is, the challenger tonight...
Sugar Ray Leonard.
Leonard vs Duran, November 25, 1980
Looks very calm.
He looks very relaxed.
World Champion!
Roberto...
Duran!
Men with rock-hard hands...
From Panama it must be considered as one of the greatest boxers of all time.
And now Ray Charles, is a tribute...
From Sugar Baptist Father Ray Charles Leonard...
Will sing "America the Beautiful."
♪ O beautiful ♪
♪ For purple mountain... ♪
♪ America ♪
♪ Sweet America ♪
♪ He done shed His grace ♪

♪ & apos; Cause He... ♪

♪ Shining sea... ♪
Thank you, Ray.
Kick his ass, kid.
Definitely. / Do it for me.
Action starts.
Leonard fights for his pride tonight...
While Duran tried to defend his title.
Duran! Duran! Duran!
Duran! Duran!
A blow from Leonard.
That's what he wants to do in this fight.
He said he didn't use jab efficiently in the first game.
Stop following him!
Chase him!
Get him! Get him! Chase him!
20 seconds left for this round.
Urge it.
Push him to the ring rope! Don't forgive!
Push him to the ring rope!
Urge him. Push him to the ring strap.
To the ring rope!
Leonard is much more confident...
As we see tonight.
You should be the host. But you are like a guest.
You have to press him, you have to push it to the ring strap.
You have to beat his body.
This is your home. No one else. This is your house.
You understand, Cholo? / I feel unwell.
You let him control you.
He dances around you.
You know what he is doing...
That's the defense. / I feel unwell.
You feel unwell? You eat too much.
Focus. Don't let him control you.
Don't leave him, don't let him run away from you.
Duran attacks, again and again...
Hold him there, hold him there!
Like the attack pattern in the first game.
Duran landed a good punch. - Yes!
That is the greatness of Duran.
Hey!
Duran butts Leonard.
You can see anger and frustration.
Finish him!
Leonard is a moving target.
And Duran will... / You can defeat him!
Take control of yourself. Look at me! Look at me!
Step on, fuck! / Listen.
You have to beat it.
You let him do that. / I'm really upset.
Duran cannot push Leonard to the ring strap as in the first match.
Do you see the size of this ring?
They make this ring for the purpose of so that he can escape from me.
Cibiran seen on his face.
Yes! Yes, Ray!
No, no, I'm a boxer. I'm not a fucking ballerina...
I didn't come here for dancing with a man.
And he mocked Duran. Openly.
Duran is not only angry but also confused.
Duran is interrupted by his movements.
It would be better for Dundee to tell him...
Tell Leonard to stop it.
Leonard shows off his skills.
And it's very different...
Stop following him!
That is Duran tonight.
Good, baby!
Yes!
Break the body and then go up to the head.
Everyone laughs at me.
Don't think about it.
I'm not a fucking clown in the in the ring. / Don't think...
And he hit it with a left punch!
Yes
Calm down.
You let him... / I'm busy chasing that bastard.
Look at me.
You don't need to do that, okay?
You will be the champion of the welterweight world.
Clear your mind!
You don't do what you should do.
You know how to do it, go there.
I want to be proud of you. I want you to go there and I want you...
Look at me! You're Roberto Duran.
Go there and be like him.
Break his body! Finish him!
Hey.
Cholo, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
He... He stopped!
Duran stops! He said, "No Mas" (No more).
No, no, no, no, no, no. Cholo.
Roberto Duran has stopped.
What are you doing? You can't.
What are you doing? You have to be your opponent. No. Fuck him.
You have to fight him! / No, no, he's a loser...
You can't. You have to...
What are you doing, Cholo? / I won't fight him.
I am not here to fight against clowns.
You have to fight him. No, no, no, no, no.
It's enough they to play with me.
It's enough. No, no!
I'm not a clown.
Look, you have to go there and fight him.
You can't do this. Why do you do this? All nonsense.
Roberto. Roberto, what happened?
I retire from boxing.
He said, he retired from boxing.
Suddenly, somehow...
The fight has ended.
Don't do that, Robbie!
Fight!
You must fight!
Bullshit.
This is for America.
We succeed! We did it!
Get up.
I don't care how big you are as a boxer.
If you can't think, you're just a bum in the park.
Boxing prioritizes the brain rather than the muscles.
Thousands of people in "Super Dome" and millions of others watch...
In closed-circuit cinemas across the country...
Feeling deceived by the game they paid to watch.
Commissions and the public are eligible get an explanation.
When a boxer loses in the ring, it is often because of the boxer's fault.
But when a boxer loses the desire to fight...
It's always the coach's fault.
Camera. Flash light. Microphone.
It's all about heroism.
Television can make people think of themselves as gods.
And I...
I might have failed...
Keeping my pet to stay grounded.
But I tell you this...
Roberto Duran is not a coward.
He leaves the ring not because he is afraid of his opponent.
He left the ring for his pride.
There is talk of dropping the suspension on Duran.
What do you think about that?
I don't know what happened.
And if I don't know, then you don't know.
But what I know is...
How Roberto Duran started his life.
I know he wants what he is.
I know the honor he brings into this business...
Which sometimes isn't feasible for that.
And I know you can not suspend him.
He deserves a better .
And if you don't understand, then you will do it to him.
And when you wake up tomorrow, you will feel embarrassed.
Faster, faster!
Enter there!
Why are you guys?
Fucks all of you!
New York City, July 31, 1981
We have no right or reason to surrender the Panama Canal Region...
Just like now we will surrender Alaska.
And I think that foreign policy our country must be one...
And we, the people who have the canal...
Have to tell our government...
Listen and tell Mr. Torrijos that we are building the area.
We buy that area. We pay for it.
And we intend to keep maintaining it now and later.
Wake up.
Stand up.
Come on.
Let's leave here.
This is not life.
This is real life.
Your husband is messed up.
And everyone calls it loser.
Show if they are wrong.
Why?
For money?
For the glory of Panama?
Fuck this nation and hypocrites.
Huh?
If life is nonsense, why don't we stop like you stop fighting?
No! No!
Cholo! No! No!
No more.
Go, find another woman.
I can be thousands of women.
I bring children.
Go to hell, but children live here.
I will go with my children!
My children.
What?
Speak, for God's sake!
President Torrijos was killed.
Cholo!
Go up to the ring and I will kill you.
Let's have lunch with us, children.
I don't need your food.
I'm looking for myself by fighting. You will ask for my signature later.
Good, hero.
Who says good?
You open "El Chorrillo" again. You're just rubbish.
I will send you to the morgue and make you stop boxing again!
Basic kids don't thank you.
That's never enough!
Without Torrijos leadership this country will be destroyed.
Let's go home, Robert.
They are right.
"El Chorrillo" hopes have disappeared.
I move away from the fight.
I stay away like my father.
Yes!
I let them down.
I disappoint them and I disappoint you.
I don't have to be a champion, but I have to fight.
I will fight.
I want you to train me, dad. Don't say no.
I'm sorry. I'm retired.
I can't.
You're my father, man.
You're the only one I have.
Listen. I can not.
I'm done with that.
And that has nothing to do with you.
We talk about me now. I am old. I am tired.
You don't need me.
You don't really need me.
You're a great natural boxer .
You have a great instinct fight.
I only have to support you.
That's not true.
I want you in my corner, Ray.
No more. You are an adult. You already have children.
You don't need a father.
You need someone to bring the way back to you.
Talk to Plomo./ Plomo?
He knows you better than anyone.
He has been with you from the beginning.
I will help you get the fight.
I will watch every time you fight.
But Plomo will bring you back.
That's what you need.
Good./ And please...
Always remember, Americans who speak to you now?
He gave you the best years of his life.
"Schmuck."
You have no reason to feel guilty.
He is my pet, so...
You need to do what you think best for everyone.
What do you think is best?
That depends.
Do you think he is the most who needs you now?
To prepare a "comeback" for him...
The first thing Plomo did was to bring Duran...
To the spiritual heart of Panama...
The "Black Christ of Portobelo" procession.
Plomo has promised Duran when he was little...
If he gets off track, Plomo will take him back to prison.
So that's what he did.
I make a lot of money from that fight.
Whatever you need, the answer is yes.
Roberto Duran./ Gosh, no.
He is bad news, Ray.
You can do more good than the homeless.
He wants to go back.
He stopped.
Understand? You can't do that.
Unless we ask for it.
No Mas.
No Mas, my ass.
No one wants to pay to see the slapstick.
What about Davey Moore?
Davey Moore?
He's a 24 year old giant. He will kill Duran.
Isn't that what you want see everyone...
After what he did in New Orleans? / Maybe.
I will definitely pay for see Duran being beaten.
I will think about that.
You are the best boxer in the world.
And I want to see the back in the ring.
You're just glad there will be other black people...
Who will be beaten tonight.
Bullshit.
Thank you.
Yes, man.
And tell your wife...
I'm sorry.
Sure.
Tonight will be the 32nd birthday Roberto Duran and he promises to change...
The battle at Madison Square Garden becomes a party for him and his friends.
Does Ray come? / Why do you keep thinking about Ray?
I'm Sugar Ray Leonard reporting to you...
On behalf of CBS Sports.
Ray, I know you respect your former opponent...
But let's see if he can finish this one.
But Duran's experience convinced to play well in tonight's match
He started as a boxer light class...
And now he fights in the light middle class.
That's a big jump for any boxer.
Okay, I've given instructions to both of you in the dressing room.
I want to remind you again.
Obey my orders at any time.
He is younger, stronger...
With a longer range, but I tell you...
Duran has right and left fists...
What they call "Manos de Piedra," Rock-hard boxing.
Duran vs Moore, June 16, 1983
Blow right Moore is very hard and Duran feels it.
Moore wants to hit K.O Duran!
Can Duran hold all those blows?
We might see the final from Roberto Duran.
Duran starts attacking. He put everything together.
How big is the impact for Moore's youth?
How do you feel?
I want to remove this hand holster and kill it!
That's the way to do it.
Without mercy.
Focus on him.
He is yours. He is died.
Breathe...
That's it. Let's go.
I love you.
You know how much.
You are my son.
You are my hero.
Duran! Duran! Duran! Duran!
Duran has found "home" for that right hand!
He landed the punch.
And throw a towel!
Roberto Duran is a World Champion A new Super Welter Class!
And this is the day _ birthday.
You're back, my love.
Ray!
Happy birthday, Dad! Happy birthday dad!
Happy birthday!
Yes! Thank you!
Allowing the rest of his life, Nestor "Plomo" Quinones are always in the corner of Duran in every world championship game, until he dies in 2012 at the age of 81 years.
