One Second Champion (2020) - full transcript

How much difference does one second make? Can it be the difference between life and death? A loser single father learns that lesson the hard way when he becomes gifted with the power of seeing one second into the future. When his ability is exposed, a boxing buff persuades him to use his power in the boxing ring. After reviving Hong Kong's vampire genre as the co-director of VAMPIRE CLEANUP DEPARTMENT, Chiu Sin-hang (also the lead vocalist of local band ToNick) combines the boxing genre with a refreshing dash of fantasia in his thrilling solo directorial effort.

"Delivery room"

Doctor, how is my wife?

How is my wife?

We are doing our best

The baby and the mother
stopped breathing

Please wait, Mr. Chow

What is going on?

Hello, I am Chow Tin Yan

My dad said I was dead for
one second when I was born

Since then,
I can foresee a second ahead

Good evening

"The Today Show"

It is our honor to
have our hot guest today

The boy who claims that
he can peek into the future

One Second Wonder, Chow Tin Yan

To be on our show!

He can only take
a tiny peek ahead

Yan, are you ready?

Here we go

I am nervous

Ok, this one

5 of Hearts

Bingo!

Exactly one second

Next

This one

This might be harder

Jack of clubs

Right again

Also one second

So, Yan, can you guess...

Can you guess
what I am going to say?

Can you tell me...

Yes!

A year ago,
I witnessed a car accident

I saw it before it happened

Then I realized I can foresee

Unexpected events

With practices

When I do this

I can see one second ahead

That's why you are called
the One Second Wonder

Let's see what
our audiences think

About this gifted child

Ma'ma

What do you think about
the One Second Wonder?

One Second Wonder?

Are you nuts?

Oh, that kid on TV?

He should focus more on studying

What do you think about
the One Second Wonder?

One second?

What is it good for?

Use it for horse race betting

Of course

But only one second...

It is not enough

Longer

Just a bit longer will be great

We do not have
any scientific evidence

To prove this power's existence

We can only assume

His reflex is faster than normal

Yan

Have you ever thought about

How to utilize
this one-second foresight?

Dad said my power is useless

But when I grow up

I wanna use this power
and be contributive

Little Yan is so positive

All things in their being
are good for something

I hope when little Yan
is a grown-up

He can make good use
of his special power

One second can
make a huge difference

The result, is unimaginable

Chow Tin-yan

Wake up! Start working!

Yan!

Always sleeping at work!

If my wife finds out,
she'd kill me!

Start working!

Yan, phone call

Hello

Chow Tin-yan, where's my money?

Due date has passed long ago

Do I have to come to you?

No need, thanks

"No need" what? Hey! Hey!

Excuse me,
we still haven't got the wings

Yan!

Go follow up on the wings

Coming

Wings

It's not our order

One Second Wonder, come here!

I wanna introduce
my friends to you

Come, come!

Let me introduce

Chow Tin-yan,
the One Second Wonder

He's a killer at morra

Come on!

Let's play a round

No, I'm busy

If you win ten in a row

This $500 is yours

Here we go

Five! Ten! Again!

None! Twenty!

Fifteen! Twenty! Listen Up

None! Twenty!

Let's go again

Hello, Ying Ngai Boxing
is recruiting

Hello, Ying Ngai Boxing
is recruiting

Hi, we have
different boxing programs

Hi, Ying Ngai Boxing
is recruiting

We have different programs

Please come and check it out

Hello

I'm Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing

I saw you practicing

My assistant just left

But I have a match coming up soon

I really need someone
to spar with

Whose reflex is as fast as yours

I won't charge you

Coach

I'm gonna bounce

What are you doing?

Hi! I'm Yip Chi-shun from
Ying Ngai Boxing

I saw you practicing

The muscle mass of
your upper body is very high

But your footwork
is a bit lacking

And with these strong muscles

Your mobility would be low

What did you say?

I thought we could
exchange boxing tips

You wanna fight?

I can fight too

My boxing gym is nearby,
let's go!

See? So slow

Arms up

What's the matter, coach?

Chi-leung!

So early today

The power was cut

No lights and no air-conditioner

No lights and no air-conditioner

So fast! Again! Again!

I'm grabbing some beer

Happy birthday

What's this?

Your favorite green shapeshifter

Shulk?

This is neither, and it's fat

What

It's the same, they're both green

It just hasn't transformed yet

It's as fat as you

What? Someone broke
your hearing aid again?

Seriously?

I have to talk to
your teacher next time

Hey

Did someone broke
your hearing aid again?

I have to go to your school

To have a chat with your teacher

You say that every time

I was gonna talk to her last time

Whatever, go back to work

Go play morra with the grannies

One Second Wonder

I'm serious

I was gonna talk to her last time

I actually called her

And then...

Welcome to the match
of the century

In red gloves, we have
our Hong Kong champion

Cheng Yiu-jo, Joe

His opponent,
Wai, in black gloves

Looking quite cocky

Doesn't seem respectful

and provoking Joe

I don't think it's a good idea

Joe isn't a pushover

See?

Joe is throwing rapid
chain punches

Following up with an uppercut

Wai passes out on the floor!

Hello, we have seats

What're you doing? Let me go!

Chow Tin-yan. Where's my money?

I'm sorry

I'll pay you back soon

Shortly! Right Now!

Hang up on me?

My new colleague doesn't know me

I'll teach him a lesson for you

Hold on, people

Please be calm

Take your business outside

Right

All the bystanders, get out!

Get out

You guys haven't paid yet!

Let's go! There's a fight

When are you going to pay?

Chi-leung!

When are you going to pay?

Chi-leung Go

Come on! Quick!

Wait!

Wait one second!

Where's my warrant card?

Ah, whatever

What's your name, kiddo?

I'm Chow Chi-leung

Can you tell me what happened?

Nothing

I didn't want to borrow
any money either

If not for my son's surgery

I wouldn't gamble again

It'll be fine once it's paid off

So what happened just then?

Can you be clear?

I was delivering food

A fight broke out in the bar

So I went over and checked

I saw two guys

chasing down the blond one

But they couldn't land
a strike on him

And then...

Hey

And then?

No one could land a strike on him

They couldn't get him in a 2v1

If he's in the ring...

Get to your point

My point is...

Please don't tell my wife

Why not?

Are you hiding something?

You don't have a wife

You wouldn't understand

Hello

I'm Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing

Please don't mind me asking

You showed some great reflexes
during the fight

I wonder if you have ever
been trained in martial arts

-No
-It's fine

But sir, ever thought about

applying your skill to boxing?

No

Alright let me be straight

I have a match coming up

But my assistant left me

I need someone like you

to spar with me

Mr. Chow

Chi-leung is still a kid

This is not a place for children

How could you let this happen?

Ms. Social Worker

I'm a single dad

I need to take care of him,
and I have work

I don't want to get sued for
abandoning my child

Is that all?

Can we go?

Come on

Hey

Mr. Chow!

Mr. Chow!

Please think this through

Come and check my gym out
whenever you have time

Leave me alone

My son needs to go to school
in the morning

That's fine

If you're interested

Call me anytime

-Leave me alone
-Call me

Hey

Chi-leung

Answer me please

That's the fatty
who broke your hearing aid?

Hey

Did you break
Chi-leung's hearing aid?

No, no

What's going on?

I'm Chow Chi-leung's father

My son said your son
broke his hearing aid

Did your son do it?

Does he know he's wrong?

Hey

I have successfully negotiated
potential compensation

Ain't your dad awesome?

It's ok, mom's here

You just need to apologize

Chi-leung, say sorry to auntie

Didn't you
hear your dad, deaf boy?

Yes I'm deaf

What you gonna do?

You see! So rude

How can you say that?

Sorry, sorry

It's great to be deaf

So I don't have to listen to
you people anymore!

So bad-mannered

Sorry, sorry, Chi-leung

Hey

Hey

You're a grown man

Don't pick fights with the shrews

Lunch box!

I don't eat stolen food

You said you quitted
gambling years ago

Aren't you done yet?

I need money for my son's surgery

You think you can win relying

On this one-second power?

If it wasn't for this power

I wouldn't go gamble

If I stopped gambling

I wouldn't have lost

All you do is making up excuses

You... and your excuses!

Just like your dead father

You... and your excuses!

Keep running away from problems

Give me one more chance

I have been working here
for 20 years

Quit it

Without this job

I can't pay off my debt

I paid it off for you

Don't ever come back

Find a new job

Start over

Remember

Don't tell my wife

"Bulk refuse"

Mister

Stop littering, would you?

You litter right in front
of the trash station

How dare you?

Recycling bins are here

Trash bins are there

Which one should you choose

Is all up to you

"Yip Chi-shun"

Hi! Welcome to
my laughter yoga class

Laughter brightens up the world!

Come in

Your body can't tell
if the laugh is real or not

So when you open your mouth

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Your body will produce endorphins

You'll feel happy and relaxed

Sounds good

But... I come here for him

Shun

Mr. Chow! Finally!

Poor man

Sorry,
I leased that area to my cousin

This is the boxing area

Come on

Ying Ngai Boxing was founded

by my father in 1985

We won three
championships in a row

Awesome, right?

I'd like you to spar with me

Mr. Yip

I don't have to fight, right?

Call me Shun.
You need to fight too

I want to represent Ying Ngai

And challenge
the Hong Kong champion, Joex

Is that so?

Ha ha ha ha ha

This is Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo

He throws fast punches

But I think you might
even be quicker

I can tell

Breathe out the waste

Wa ha ha ha ha ha

Will I get paid?

Money...

"Ying Ngai class fee"

"Rent from cousin"

This is for the first week

Let's get started

So soon

Can we start tomorrow?

Okay

See you tomorrow morning
at 7 sharp

I'll be here when I wake up

Wa ha ha ha ha ha

Good job

Take a break

I told you not to come

Let things settle down first

Please leave

Leave my family in peace

Joe is just here to pay respect

One must try their very best
inside the ring

You didn't

This is the consequence

Mr. Chow, why are you so late?

I took my son to school

Ready, five

No! Like this!

Boxing isn't hard at all

Nothing more than defense,
punching, and dodging

Boxing has always been about
survival and competition

But my dad believed that

We don't practice to
beat down the opponent

We practice to fight better

Let me take a break

Hey, break's over, come on

Arms up, keep them up

I'm dying,
can we wait till tomorrow?

Come on, hit me

Fine

Can you use some strength?

Again

Harder

Good

Harder! One, two

Come on, yes

Good, good, throw me a hook

That is not a hook

This is

Come on, the first match
is in a month

I hired you to train
with me, come on

Will you please just let me rest?

If you can't box

Don't scam Shun

Watch your mouth, miss

It's fine

It's fine

We just have to train more

Yeah

Do a hundred push-ups

A hundred

I'll die

Hello, testing, one, two

Testing, testing

Hello

Boss

Chi-leung

Where's my dad?

Your dad

He's working at the boxing club

Did he not tell you?

Say that again

He's working at the boxing club

What?

Remember to practice
smiling at home

When you get used to smiling,
you'll always be happy

Bye

Bye

So tired

Teach fewer classes then

It feels good helping
someone feel positive

You don't even believe in it

Of course I do

How about you?

You don't even
believe in yourself

And you still use my rent

To hire a random...

I don't have money
to hire a real boxer

They charge
a thousand dollar per day

Can't you just be a coach?

I need to make a name for the gym

So I could attract students

But you know you're...

Fine

I promise

If I can't get through
the inter-club match

I'll never enter the ring again

Sorry

I went to buy some stuff

Practice

Excuses

Kiddo, what are you doing here?

Say that again

You can't hear

You need to talk slower

Is Chow Tin-yan here?

Chow?

Harder, twist, twist

Combo

Jab, harder

Arms up, arms up, arms up...

Good, your turn

Harder, twist, twist

Combo

-I can't
-Come on

Give me a break

Chi-leung? Why're you here?

To see if you're boasting

I'm boasting

Hey

What are you waiting for?

Don't you have a match soon?

Arms up

Higher, higher, higher

No time for breaks
when the kid is here, huh?

Nope. You?

Me neither

-Come on
-Alright

You're so good, man!

Oh my god,
your punches are so heavy!

You're awesome bro

Hey, I got you a new hearing aid

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Yeah, yeah

Here, patch your dad up

Thank you

Cantonese is fine

Putonghua is alright

Just being respectful

Turn around

It hurts

Ain't your dad awesome?

Ain't your dad awesome?

Awesome?

You only played tough
when I arrived

It's nothing

One

Two

Three

Four

Five

Six

Seven

Ok?

Dad

What took you so long?

Nothing

Let's go

The next bout is between

Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing

And Kwok Kai-long
from Chu's Boxing Club

Three rounds

Three minutes each

Two boxers

No strike on the back of the head

No strike below the belt

When I say stop,
you stop, got it?

Touch gloves

Be careful

Fight him

Hey

I watched your dad fight
when I was a kid

He's gasping, should we stop?

He has always been like this

Let's wait a little longer

Can you keep going?

Box

Are you okay?

Dad!

One

-Two
-Are you okay?

-Three
-Breathe slowly

-Four
-Come on

-Five
-Take your time

We don't need
the judges to decide

The winner is Kwok Kai-long
from Chu's Boxing Club

You're always like this

Can't even finish a single round

What is this?

Can anyone from
Ying Ngai actually fight?

At least for one round

Hey, this is against the rules

What rules?

It's just a casual match

You people from
Ying Ngai are useless

Like father like son

Just close your gym down

Anyone from Ying Ngai?

I know what you're thinking

No

Do it as a favor

Treat it like a normal practice

This is a special case

Chow Tin-yan will
represent Ying Ngai

Just for one round

Pull back

One

- Are you okay, dad?
- Two

Three

-It's nothing
-Four

OK. Fight

Hey, are you gonna fight or not?

Of course!

You should ask him

Of course I'm fighting
stop messing around

Fight

One

Two

- Dad, get up!
- Three

Start

Clinch when you're out of breath

One

Two

Three

Four

Five

Six

Are you okay?

Fight

The match's over

You made it through half a round

What an improvement

I'm still thinking
of dad's last match

Mission complete

I needed you to train me

But, you see

Doctor said there is no cure

It's nice knowing you

You got potential

That punch wasn't easy to dodge

Come practice when you have time

See you

So... I'll go this way

Hey

You guys ever heard
of One Second Wonder

One Second Wonder

Tails

Thirty times in a row

Dead for a second
when you were born

Would that have
changed your brain?

Have you ever had a check-up?

Why didn't you
utilize this talent?

I thought one second
wasn't enough for anything

Hey, one whole second

How many combos can you throw
in one second?

You can turn the tide

This guy Joe

Can throw six punches in a second

I kinda see that

But he's so fast

You can't dodge
even if you could see it

Showing off
your coin-tossing trick again

I'll give him a hand

Brother Dee

What?

Check this out, this is my dad

Your one-second power finally
comes to good use

You can't box forever

You're right,
what you gonna do then?

Think about it,
twenty years later

When you look back

All that One Second Wonder
could do

Was to trick people
in drinking games

And that's the peak of your life

Save it

When you were little

You said you wanted to build
a name for uncle's gym

If you really wanted that

It can be achieved without
entering the ring yourself

Right?

You got my rent

Hire him

First thing first

You'll waive my rent
when you start having students

Hey

I wanna say...

Are you interested in boxing
for Ying Ngai?

I can't pay you much

But we can build
a reputation together

All we need are students

Yeung is pretty good

22 fight winning streak

I know he always
wanted to face Joe

I know Yeung

He could be a good opponent

But, Joe versus Yeung

Doesn't sound gimmicky enough

Since when did boxing
rely on gimmicks?

We can do without it

You versus Yeung

But if you were the sponsor

How much would you pay?

You? How much would you pay?

You guys? How much?

I'll go practice

Ten years ago

There was a teenage boy

Who got beaten
down in an alleyway

I wanted to help

People said
I was looking for trouble

Who gave him shelter?

Who fed him?

And made him a champion?

I just want a real fight

Think about it

If you were to challenge
the world champion

Who would care?

Think further

The exhibition match can
boost your popularity

A major shareholder
withdrew last month

We need resources

To help you go further

Don't be afraid

You won so many matches
in the past few months

Don't panic
and keep your composure

Just go with your usual flow

The first amateur match,
let's go!

In the red corner is Chow Tin-yan

Coach Lai, this stance has a name

It's called a Philly Shell

Yeah

But now in the league

Only top boxers

With excellent speed and skill

Would dare to use this stance

Not sure if Chow
has got what it takes

To knock down his opponent

I'll tailor-make a new tactic

For your one-second power

Drop one arm

Stop using
both arms for defending

Turn your body

Minimize your exposure

Widen your gaze

Unleash your one-second power

White corner

My dad said

You shouldn't focus
on the upper body only

Footwork is crucial too

Remember, push with your toes

Don't stay flat footed

Keep hopping, keep it loose

Sharper the dodge,
the better you box

Look at your opponent

No matter what,
fix your eyes on him

Chow Tin-yan
from Ying Ngai Boxing

He's recognized as the One
Second Wonder from years ago

Who could see one second ahead

Can't tell if it is true

But you see his dodging
reflex is razor-sharp

Don't go head to head,
keep your distance

Cut in from a new angle

White corner

Ain't your dad awesome?

Keep pushing!

One, two, one, two, hook

Hello, Ying Ngai Boxing

Come and check it out

My gym is nearby, come by and see

Hey, your hearing aid dropped

How could you
let your kid be a bully?

Don't let me see your kid
pick on others again

Stay focus

Inhale

Exhale

How come I never saw your mom?

She's gone

Sorry...

She left with some guy

Is this Ying Ngai Boxing?

Yes! Welcome!

"Class fee from Ying Ngai"

Ho ho ha ha ha

I can't finish it, help me eat

You need more protein

Why do you teach people
how to smile?

Yet you act cool at times

My face needs to rest

Drink less

"I paid you back,
check your account balance"

"You owed me, stop bragging"

Help me adjust

Further

To the right

Beat him! Beat him!

Two rounds have gone by

Sung Ngo-yeung couldn't even
land a single strike

Yeah, just take look
at Yan's recent record

He's on a ten fight-win
streak with ten KOs

On the other hand,
Sung "Heavy Hammer" Ngo-yeung

Has twenty-two wins, eighteen KOs

But yet to find a way to deal
with this newcomer

No matter how I throw my punches

He'd be able to see it coming

Impossible

White corner

One

Two

Three

Four

Five

Six

Seven

Eight

Thank you, thank you

Ying Ngai, Ying Ngai

Thank you, thank you

"Medical Check-Up"

Our topic of the day is...

How can you dodge so quickly?

Why would I tell you
if I have foresight power?

Does superpower really exist?

Once known as
the One-Second Wonder

Chow Tin-yan is now
the One Second Champion

Some say he can dodge
any punches thrown at him

Becoming the new favorite
of the boxing league

Yan, what inspired you

to use this power in boxing?

I didn't think too much of it

I always thought
this power was useless

Until I met my coach, Shun

Yeah, it's me

Ying Ngai Boxing is dedicated
to discovering new talents

Our gym is in Tai Po

Doctor, can this sort of power
be proven scientifically?

We ran a brain wave test
on Mr. Chow yesterday

The result is astonishing

Normally brain wave
is a single clear line

With different frequencies

However this time we discovered
double brain waves

A shocking discovery
in the medical field

Son

A TV show can't prove nothing

And even if it did,
it's just pure talent

Uncle Choi

It's been
scientifically proven that

He's not normal

I agree with Yeung

I was one of the judges
of his match once

I knew he didn't do this
on reflexes alone

If that's the case

Shouldn't we take
some time to consider

How we should regulate
boxers' eligibilities?

You just lost one bout

Not necessary
to revoke his license

This isn't about the result

It's about our reputation,

about what's fair

According to

the AIBA Technical Rules

If one's nervous system

can't function properly

The association has the right
to stop this boxer from fighting

Hey

This rule is set
to protect the disables

And to keep them
away from injuries

This rule is set to
assure the match

will be conducted fairly

I fight with what I was born with

How's that not fair?

We have the signatures
from serveral boxers

Who unanimously agreed

To suspend your qualification

No one will fight you

Even if you try

I'll suggest a fair solution

If you can provide
a detailed medical report

To prove that your brain
is back to normal

We'll allow you to fight again

They're just jealous

Twisting the rules

Thank you

No problem, see you next time

Give me a pen and paper

Can you really tell
what's written on this paper?

Before I flip it

What do you want?

Try it

Just one second ahead

Prove it

Joe

Wanna have a chat?

Instant-Killer Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo

from Hunter Boxing

Versus One Second Champion
Chow Tin-yan from Ying Ngai

I know everyone is excited
about this game

Should you have any questions,
please ask away

Yan,

if you can
foresee Joe's next move

Don't you think
it's an easy game for you?

When I'm in the ring

It's all about the reflex

Joe, you killed
your last opponent

Would you hold back this time?

A real boxer won't play on
gimmick or superpower

If you're not serious in the ring

You'll pay for it

Come on man, get her some food

Stop meddling, eat your shrimp

I'm full, help me finish

You're drinking again

You want one?

You really think your power...

I don't know

But I have faith

There's a chance

Wow

Did you know
what I was going to say?

Instincts, just instincts

But if I wanted to
use my power to listen

That would work, too

I just don't do that very often

Why?

Things I don't like hearing

I don't want to hear it again

Why do you look so...

Unhappy all the time?

Ever heard of...

Parallel universe

Parallel universe?

It's funny

I keep fantasizing about...

There is another world

With another Yiu

She was never abandoned
by her dad

Never got cheated on

Never had to leave Taiwan

Never had to use laughter yoga

To pretend to be happy

She would just be
genuinely happy,

isn't that great?

I always wondered how

Seeing what happens
one second later

Would affect my decisions

That's more than enough
to change the future

For example, a jab

Coming right at me

I dodge

Then the me who could dodge

And the me who couldn't

Aren't they what
you have just described

Living in two parallel universes

Every second

Every choice

Can create a new universe

Let's hope
Yiu in another universe

Will finally be genuinely happy

You like it? Let's get it for you

I like the striving Shulk more

What's the striving Shulk?

Just for you

I want a rematch

If it wasn't for you

I'd be the one fighting Joe

Do you know how long
I've been waiting for this?

Hey calm down

Screw your power

You know what fairness is?

Let go of me,
I worked hard for it too

So what

Let go of him

Are you crazy?

Wake up...

Hello, please, 51 Wan Tau Street

There's a car crash come quickly

Mr. Chow,
you had a severe concussion

in the crash

We ran tests

There's no internal
bleeding or hematoma

We did a brain wave test

As requested

Mr. Chow, you're lucky

Everything looks normal

As for your son

He's out of critical stage now

But there's still some
stasis under the skull

He will be unconscious for now

And requires hospitalization

Meanwhile

Please keep him company

Please keep fighting

Shun

The doctor said my brain
wave is normal now

Maybe my power is gone

Anyhow we'll wait
until Chi-leung recovers

Once upon a time, there's a boy

He was born with superpower

His world was different
than the others

But he was
scared of the differences

Scared of his power

He never cherished it

Then he had a kid

The kid was just like his dad

With a different vision
than the others

No one had faith in him

But he had outdone his dad

Even though everyone
looked down on him

He was determined

Determined to prove himself

Does the accident have an impact

on your fight with Joe?

Rumor has it that you
lost your power,

is it true?

What are you doing here?

Sorry...

For you and your son
to be in this situation

This is all my fault

Just leave

I saw the news

You're quitting the fight?

What do you want?

I think you should go for it

What's up with you?

You were the one
who told me not to fight

You were the one
who got my son injured

Now you're encouraging me
to fight?

I didn't want you to fight

Because I thought it wasn't fair

You don't understand...

How hard it is to be a boxer

Knowing it's a lost cause

Knowing you'll be injured

Losing his life

He has to keep on going

I caused your power to disappear

That was all my fault

I won't beg for your forgiveness

But that's why

You can tell the world

Why you stepped into the ring

Take care

Chi-leung?

Chi-leung, you're awake?

Where's my hearing aid?

Am I deaf?

No

Let me check the hearing aid

I... I don't wanna be deaf

No...

I don't wanna miss your voice!

The battery ran out

It's okay

Oops

It's ok it's okay

Actually...

I hated it when my classmates
call me deaf boy

I don't wanna
pretend I can hear them

Why?
Why can't I be like other kids?

Am I useless?

No

No

You've always been a good boy

When you were little

I was worried you'd be scared

Whenever lightning struck

But you weren't

You were having fun

That's when I know

My son is way better
than the others

Because he's just like his dad

They both have superpowers

Our superpower is...

We'll never give up

I'm fighting Joe

For my whole life

I see one second ahead

Yet I kept running away
from everything

But not this time

I wanna prove that

I'm more than that one second

Okay

No more running away

We'll do this together

Your dodging has improved

from all your fights

But you were relying on
your one-second vision too much

Without it now

You'd have to improve
your muscle memories

Four

Are you good?

Joe punches really hard

Build endurance, practice,
and toughen up

One, two, three, four, block!

Again!

One, two, three, four, block!

Two, three, four, five

Fourteen

Fifteen

Thirty-seven,
thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty

Thirty-one

Why did you stop?

Get him!

Again! Up!

Dad, are you scared?

If you don't answer

I'll take off
my hearing aid and run

Without the hearing aid

All I feel is my own heartbeat

I won't be scared anymore

After eight matches

It's time for the grand finale

Instant-Killer Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo

Versus One Second Champion
Chow Tin-yan

Complying with
the WBO regulations

This will be a 10-round bout,
three minutes each

This contestant

Has been in the ring
for only half a year

11 fights in
his professional career,

11 wins

10 KOs, 1 TKO

People called him
the One Second Wonder

Because he allegedly
can foresee one second ahead

Now, he uses his power for boxing

Thus transformed into

One Second Champion!

I'm satisfied. Just to be here

Be careful up there

You could've told me earlier

First, Joe's challenger

From Ying Ngai Boxing

136lb, One Second Champion

Chow Tin-yan

Hooray!

And, last but not least

From Hunter Boxing

Instant-Killer Joe

12 KOs, 4 TKOs

In the red corner

Is Chow Tin-yan

In the blue corner

Calm down,
there's nothing to be afraid of

Please welcome our referee, Roger

Gentlemen,
protect yourselves at all times

Listen to me
and follow my instructions

Are we clear?

Touch gloves

Back to your corner

Don't lose your rhythm

Remember what you've practiced

You've come all this way,
finish it!

Maintain your rhythm

You know how hard it is
to land a strike on him, right?

I don't care

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Box

Arms up! Arms up!

Doesn't Chow always
use the Philly Shell stance?

Why is he using both arms
for defending?

This is no game,

Joe's last opponent

Was fatally injured by him

Everyone knows
Joe doesn't back away

Of course you need to parry

But Chow has
his one-second vision, right?

Meaning he can predict
the opponent's next move

But I also heard Chow
was in a car crash

He might not have it anymore

Knocked down by Joe

This is unusual

Does it mean the rumors are true?

Or

Maybe that the so-called power
is just a gimmick

Against a masterclass like Joe

This will be a real test for Chow

Okay?

Box

Box

Stop! Back to the corners!

- Hey!
- Back to the corners!

Are you okay? Can you stand up?

Back to your corner first

I'm warning you

Tossing is against the rules

Do it again,
and I'll deduct your score

Understand?

Understand?

Hang in there

Hang in there

Stop

Good!

Hey

Listen,
there's nothing to be afraid of

Remember what you've trained

What are you here for?

Keep your arms up,
fix your eyes on him, okay?

Drag out the fight

You're doing great,
make it a show

Joe is knocked down

He got up right away,
but according to the record

Joe has never been
knocked down before

He never got knocked down before

During the match with Cho Lap-wai

Joe injured his ribs

The old wound
might have gotten hit

Yan must've spent a lot of time

To study Joe's style

Joe threw a right hook

With another uppercut

His elbow knocked
on Chow's canthus

The medic is here,
let's see if he can continue

Are you okay?

How many fingers?

Four

- Can he continue?
- Yes

You okay? Are you okay?

Coach,
are you letting him continue?

If only I have the power...

You're on your own
every second in the ring

Boxer, can you continue?

Can you?

- Can you?
- Yes

Let's go!

Stop!

You're putting on a great show,

You've outdone yourself

You're pushing too hard

Let me finish it...

Let me finish it...

You're almost there, keep it up

He's over

He's not gonna make it

Thank you, Shun

Be careful

Usually, Joe can knock down
his opponent

in four to five rounds

It's unbelievable how this match
against the One Second Champion

Will reach the last final round

Stick to it, Yan!

Hey

Chow Tin-yan

It's over, bro, it's over

You finished a real match

Chi-leung!

Ain't your dad awesome?

Yes!

Tell them

My dad's awesome!

After ten rounds
of intense boxing

Our judges
have made their decision

With different scores
from the judges

First round...

Hello, I am Chow Tin Yan

My dad said I was dead for
one second when I was born

Since then, I can foresee
one second ahead

I always thought

It's crucial to see the future

But I finally understand

One second

Can make a big difference

The result is unimaginable

So, in this second

What are you waiting for?
