Quotes 

• Davy : Don't you want me to be rich and famous?

  Peter : I'd rather have you alive and well.

  Mike : Yeah, Besides, you don't know anything about boxing!

  Peter : Yeah.

  Davy : That's not so! I used to be quite a scrapper at school, y'know. There was this one big bully, always used to be pickin' on me, so one day I went wham-o! with a right and wham-o! with a left!

  Mike : And what then, what happened?

  Davy : She never bothered me again.

• Peter : Oh, look at that carnage, what brutality.

  Micky : You what, are you watching the fight?

  Peter : No, the news.

• The Champ : Tell me true and don't make no bones, how was your fight with Davy Jones?

  Mike : [Peter throws Mike a puzzled look]  Don't worry, he always talks that way, just...

  Peter : It was a split decision. He split my eye, he split my nose and he split my lip.

• Fight Announcer : [Live on TV]  They've shaken hands, and the fighters have now both been told that in the event of a knockdown, each man must go to a neutral corner.

  Micky : Man, I wish he'd go to the corner of Crescent Heights and Sunset.

  Peter : He'd be safe.
