El Repatriado (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript
- You are now under arrest.
- This is a mistake.
This is ridiculous. Get out of here.
PREVIOUSLY
- Who was that new guy?
- He's my second chance, Rosa.
Ever since Leonel showed up,
everything's gone wrong for me.
Images
of the fire in the Gold Raider gym
in downtown LA.
His dad had a heart attack.
I told you I'm here for you.
Don't ever leave me behind again, okay?
Stop! Stop right there!
He's asking me to buy
two tickets to go see you in Mexico City.
Yeah, Mom…
…that would be awesome.
He got everything. He got that job.
- The best opportunities, the sponsors.
- And?
The people with Boxing World.
- That's not that...
- He got you!
This will be my last job for you.
GENERAL INVESTIGATION POLICE
Everyone, drop the guns.
You're under arrest for smuggling.
I'm gonna kill you.
You won't be able to hide.
I'm personally going to make sure
you get what you deserve. Mmm?
Room 515. It's here…
…right?
Okay.
Hey, Mom.
Leonel!
Oh, I'm so glad I get to hug you again.
Yeah, I missed you so much.
We missed you too.
Hey, look. This is Meche.
- Uh, nice to meet you, miss.
- Oh, very nice meeting you too.
Uh, but please... Please come in.
Your father.
He's gonna be so excited to see you.
Come!
Dad!
Oh.
REPATRIATED
Gordo, we must find you a good lawyer.
We must get you out of here.
I don't like seeing you like this.
What are you doing here? Go home.
I don't deserve you.
Don't be ridiculous.
It's true.
Go.
You're beautiful, you're smart.
Me? I'm just a fat guy who's a failure,
and look where I ended up.
I know you well.
Sure, you have problems,
and you do your best to solve them,
just like everyone else does.
But I know your heart,
and I know it's good.
Trust me. I'm on your side.
No touching, Gordo.
Is it true what people are saying?
You were smuggling?
Yes and no.
Yes, because they caught me
with the stuff.
And no, because it was to be
my last dealing.
But as much as I want to change,
some people want to bring me down.
- Who are you talking about?
- Trejo and Diablo.
Diablo?
Yes, Diablo.
He's alive and in jail like me.
You know who else?
Your sister's little boyfriend.
What does Leonel have to do with this?
After all the help I gave him,
he ratted me out to the cops.
He's the one who brought me down.
And you know what? I'm going after him.
I don't think
we should see each other anymore.
It's for the best.
Mr. Rabbit!
I have big news for you.
Well, the new gym's paperwork has cleared,
so you are officially
in the American Interclub Championship.
Yeah! Hell yes.
- Ready to become a champ?
- Hundred percent, I won't let you down.
- I told you, Martin. You are the best.
- I am now.
You know, I don't do
these kind of things for anyone.
But you have talent. And rage.
I like your style, kid.
You have to train harder.
We still don't know
who's gonna be your contender.
Huh! But the bet for you is really high.
Mm-hmm.
No one's a contender for me, man.
- Don't let me down, Rabbit.
- I won't. I promise.
Let's go.
Keep it going.
Go get what I brought.
Wow.
It was because of that stuffed lion
that I named you Leonel.
I know.
Now we need to talk about
the future of your career.
Um, Dad…
Not now. Later.
The most important thing is your health.
Okay?
There's an opportunity for you to fight
in the Interclub Championship
in Las Vegas.
There aren't any Gold Raiders here.
CERTIFICATE - GOLDEN RAIDER
TRAIN LIKE A CHAMPION
BASED ON AN ORIGINAL IDEA
BY FERNANDO BARBOSA
It's Gold Raider's corporate permit
to start a new franchise here in Mexico.
For real?
If we find a good gym,
we can quickly turn it
into a Gold Raider branch.
No way.
Dad!
I know this guy.
He's been training me.
He has a gym. He's very talented, but, uh…
Okay…
He's very stubborn.
With his Mexican Style.
GOLD RAIDER - Mexican-Style
The Golden Quetzal
This small but very heartfelt ceremony
officially launches
the new Gold Raider location
in the Immaculate Conception neighborhood,
adapted, needless to say,
as The Golden Quetzal
for Mexicans near and far!
Leonel,
how can we ever thank your family enough?
Oh, and I have some great news.
April and Roberto got a call
about this new brand of products.
INTENZZE
THE OFFICIAL RAZOR OF ATHLETES
They want to sponsor Leonel
so he and his crew can go
on an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas.
How does that sound?
See?
You're a real champion.
You even have sponsors.
Yeah. The whole… …sponsor…
…thing is a big surprise.
I wasn't expecting that.
I'm... Uh... But I'm happy to say yes.
I'm jealous of the guys in the crew
going with you to the United States.
- Who's gonna make the cut?
- Yeah, who knows?
"Who knows?"
Um, you guys!
My trainer, my coaching team,
and even my PR.
You guys are my crew, got that?
No way, dude! Seriously?
Yeah, really?
Look. Here's your passport.
A friend helped me get it
here in Santo Domingo.
- It's nicer than the originals.
- No, Mr. Chucho.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know you're not supposed to, but, well,
the end justifies the means, right?
So, there you go.
Uh, who's Felipe Hermosillo?
That's not my name.
- I don't like this.
- Leonel, Leonel, look.
The championship starts in ten days,
and without papers, there's no trip,
and if there's no trip,
there's no continental champion.
I mean, it's your dream.
It's up to you.
Mr. Chucho, I have a problem.
I don't have a visa,
and I doubt we have time to apply for one.
And these guys
probably don't have a visa either.
I've got another little surprise, okay?
My man Iker here has a fan at the embassy.
The one and only consul secretary,
isn't that right?
What do you think?
Hey. Is she that buddy of yours
who hugged you and gave you her card?
Look, it's not what you think, honestly.
This lady's really respectable.
- Right, bro?
- Yeah.
Chill, Mari. Don't get worked up about it.
The point is,
- we already called the embassy…
- Mari.
…explained our problem,
and seeing as there's a championship
expec... Expecting Leonel,
they gave us a visa for athletes
and an expedited border crossing card
so we can cross the border legally.
- Awesome! Yeah.
- Great! We can get in!
Awesome.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So, you're really going?
Yeah. Leonel's fighting.
What's wrong?
Are you upset that I'm going with Leonel?
Well, to be honest, it doesn't feel fair
that Leonel is gonna make it big in the US
while Gordo is left to rot in jail.
Gordo's a criminal.
The only thing Leonel did
was tell the truth.
But Gordo was ready
to leave his life of crime behind.
He told you that?
You're like some teenager
who just laps up whatever he tells you.
I'm not gonna argue with you.
Me neither,
but you have to face reality.
Gordo's not a good person.
Of course, he is.
Like everyone else, he's suffered,
and just like everyone else,
he's found a way to move forward in life.
Yeah, by blackmailing
everyone he can, right?
Or have you already forgotten?
- You don't understand anything.
- Well, you're blind.
Just because you say I am?
Meche, you know I adore you,
which is why I always try to say things
with a lot of tact,
but you're very stubborn, very impulsive
and very self-centered.
Self-centered?
Yes, self-centered.
You think you know
everything about the world,
but just because you say something
doesn't make it true, you know?
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome
to the American Interclub Championship.
The most important event
in the youth boxing community.
Throughout the next few days,
our fighters will challenge themselves
through gruesome battles in the ring.
And in the end,
leaving just one lucky contender
with the title
of American Interclub Champion.
And here comes,
doing his ring entrance, Hermosillo.
We know very little about this guy.
All we know is that he was born
and raised in Mexico City.
A city of very tough fighters.
- Let's go.
- You can do it.
Clifford with the black trunks.
Nice left hook by Clifford!
CLIFFORD VS COHN
ROUND OF 16
Oh! What a lefty from Cohn! The Canadian!
Ah, he clearly slipped.
HERMOSILLO VS DONOVAN
ROUND OF 16
Hermosillo,
this can't be an official knockdown.
But he's gonna keep boxing.
He avoids that vicious right hook
from Donovan.
ROMARIO VS PACHECO
ROUND OF 16
And brutal cross by Pacheco!
CLIFFORD VS PARKER
QUARTERFINALS
For the love of God,
Parker is now in another stratosphere.
HERMOSILLO VS FLORES
QUARTERFINALS
Fight... Ah, here's that chop down!
MARTINEZ VS SALAZAR
QUARTERFINAL
Martin "The Rabbit" Clifford from LA
making it to the final.
CLIFFORD
FINALIST
Seven, eight, nine, ten!
And this is it! Adios, Malena!
HERMOSILLO
FINALIST
Hermosillo makes it to the final!
What a derby!
The US, represented
by "The Rabbit" Clifford, against Mexico.
In the hands of Hermosillo!
Yeah!
Great job!
My story isn't easy to tell, but I'll try.
My father once told me
that destiny gives us signs.
We have to keep our eyes wide open
to see them and feel them,
but that will always keep us
on the right path.
I've had to walk a long path to get here
and be who I am,
and to feel proud of my name,
of speaking Spanish,
and of competing under the Mexican flag.
Do you think winning this fight
is part of your destiny?
Yes. I think it's my destiny to be here.
Must be nice to be treated like a hero,
when you've had everything handed to you.
I've had to fight for everything
since I was a kid.
Shut up! I can't hear!
Just try to shut me up!
And life keeps treating you
like the bad guy.
No one cares. Move!
- Come on.
- Huh?
But people still end up
bringing out the worst in you!
And you start believing your own lies
and twist the truth and reality,
and end up in the same place anyway!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Screw you!
What?
You're a dead man.
Just try! Just try! Just try!
And in the final event of the evening,
the moment you've all been waiting for.
For the Featherweight
American Interclub Championship belt.
In red, white and blue shorts,
Martin "Rabbit" Clifford!
Well, you've heard it
from this famous ring announcer,
Martin "The Rabbit" Clifford
from Los Angeles, California.
The favorite. The local.
With an outstanding amateur record
of 42 victories, only one defeat,
and 33 of those victories
coming by the fast way of knockout!
And in the next corner,
in black and gold shorts.
From the Gold Raiders…
…The Golden Quetzal,
from the Immaculate Conception
neighborhood in Mexico,
Felipe Hermosillo!
Go.
♪ No, don't mess with my boy
The dude can cause serious damage ♪
♪ With his fists popping
And crushing the strongest ♪
♪ He'll knock you down, wring you dry ♪
♪ Bars ♪
Hermosillo, this
Mexican guy who we know very little about.
All we know really is that he won
his four previous fights in this contest…
- I'm so excited.
- …and all of them by knockout.
- He's got a heavy hand!
- Wish I could be there.
He's a massive underdog, make no mistake.
- And, I don't know…
- Yes. Me too.
…I love his ring entrance
with El Iker and El Kevin.
That's how they call
this Mexican trap band.
Or Mexican-style trap band.
- However you want to call it.
- Come on, get it!
- Welcome to Las Vegas.
- Grace… What a surprise.
Surprised?
No, I'm here taking care of business.
No, Leonel's not a business, okay?
- That's not nice.
- Who said anything about Leonel?
I'm here for my brand. INTENZZE.
What do you mean?
You "espon" the team?
You paid for everyone's trip?
How else do you think Leonel's corner
could have gotten here?
Look, I know you like him,
but love doesn't pay the bills.
Boxing's expensive.
Can you really support his dreams?
Please think about it.
♪ He'll inspire you, wring you dry ♪
♪ Squeeze you, loosen all your bolts
Send you to the bars ♪
♪ Nothing hurts him, nobody beats him ♪
♪ Nothing pulls him down, he always wins
And I'm like, wow ♪
♪ Watch out with my dawg
Cuz he's gonna annihilate you ♪
Let's go, Mexico, bro!
I told you it's Leonel. I knew it.
What's the problem, Martin?
What's going on?
He's not who he says he is.
I'm not gonna fight him.
- What?
- No, he's for real.
He's representing Mexico,
the Gold Raider Quetzal...
I don't care what gym he represents.
He's not who he says is.
Martin, shut up and fight.
Fighters, are you ready?
Mr. Chucho, this isn't okay.
I'm not Felipe.
Don't worry about that right now.
Concentrate on what we came for,
the championship.
Fighters…
Come on, Rabbit!
…to your corners.
- No, this is not okay.
- I'm sorry?
- This is not okay.
- What are you doing?
Hey, you already won this.
Let me talk. I need to come clean.
Sir, may I?
Thank you.
Where's Meche going?
Hey, Martin's right.
I'm not Felipe Hermosillo.
Hmm?
For a long time
I believed I was an American citizen.
And I lived the dream
in the land of freedom.
But suddenly,
that lie exploded in my face.
- Miss Meche, what did he say?
- Miss Meche!
He's telling the whole truth.
- The truth?
- Why?
Yeah, I think so.
And I have to understand
that none of it was real.
It never existed.
If you're not a gringo,
why speak English?
There are Mexicans here too!
Who's that guy?
- Yeah, uh…
- He's nobody.
I'm not Felipe Hermosillo.
My name is Leonel Reina,
and I'm proud of my last name
because it comes
from the bravest man I know, my dad.
- Oh, my boy.
- Mom. Dad.
I love you guys.
Ever since I arrived in Mexico,
I've come to understand
that what matters most
isn't where you live
or how much money you have.
What matters most is…
…having a good heart.
And I, uh, met people who believed in me,
who taught me new values.
I reconnected with my mother tongue,
my culture,
and I also came to know true love.
I came to understand
that what I want most in life
is to be a champion, but not this way.
Not with a fake name.
I'm not gonna fight.
- I'm sorry!
- What?
- What was the last thing he said?
- That he won't fight.
- What do you mean, he won't fight?
- Not with a fake name.
That's not a big deal.
Just a little white lie.
Just change it
and tell people his name is Leonel.
Leonel says he's not going to fight.
Faker!
You have no shame!
You're brave!
Follow your heart. Come on!
We support you, Leonel,
Felipe, or whatever your name is!
Oh, Leonel. You're fighting me.
Why do you think
I burned your parents' gym down?
Oh, Christ!
He turned around and threw the cross.
- He could get disqualified!
- Fight! Let's fight!
The referee has to interfere.
Well, at least he was able to calm
both boxers.
He's sending them to their corners.
Okay. Let's see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take it easy, okay?
The final
of the American Interclub Championship
is taking place, ladies and gentlemen.
And the final for the Featherweight
Championship is in action.
Simultaneous blow!
- Each one felt each other's power.
- Come on, Leonel!
Now,
Clifford trying to fight on the distance,
but he takes a nice cross from Hermosillo.
Don't make it easy. Come on!
Oh, no.
Who said it was easy, huh?
Yeah!
Now, Clifford taking his distance.
He already felt Hermosillo's power.
Good right hook!
Not like that, Martin! What are you doing?
That's so many mistakes.
Oh!
You should have stayed in Mexico!
Come on!
Hermosillo at his corner,
and Clifford's punishing him.
To the body. The end can be near.
Hermosillo's in jeopardy.
Stay on him! Stay on him!
He has to get out of the corner.
And he throws Clifford to the canvas.
Mexican Style! Come on, get up!
Clifford is in the canvas
for the first time in his career.
He is getting up!
He wants to keep fighting!
Ma, I'm scared.
Don't be afraid. I won't let you go, okay?
Oh! Clifford has now
Hermosillo against the rope.
Oh! That was clearly a rabbit punch!
That's an illegal punch.
- That's illegal!
- Did you see that? That was illegal!
He should be disqualified!
At least the referee
should deduct a couple points from him.
Oh, he's just warning him.
He should deduct a couple points!
We can tell clearly who's the favorite,
who's the sheriff's horse,
and that's Clifford,
because this is illegal!
Ma! Mom! Dad!
This is gonna be
the end of the underdog, but he got up.
He looks pretty groggy.
If you ask me, I don't think
he's going to be able to continue,
but you never know.
We can't underestimate a Mexican...
Oh, my God!
The referee's calling them to action.
Move your feet around!
Hermosillo's saying he is ready
to continue, and Clifford comes.
Clifford's coming for his head.
Hermosillo's in jeopardy.
Come on, Leonel!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Mom!
Believe it or not,
Hermosillo's gonna keep fighting.
He just got up to the count.
Unbelievably, miraculously,
Hermosillo's gonna keep fighting,
and Clifford can't believe it!
There's... I mean,
is there a way to knock out this Mexican?
But Clifford is gonna find out.
And he keeps coming forward...
Oh! Nice cross by Hermosillo!
He's alive and kicking,
ladies and gentlemen!
The Mexican is back in action.
He looks hurt but he's gaining.
Yes!
Oh, my God,
another right cross for Hermosillo!
The Mexican's strong and back in action.
Clifford is down,
and this gonna be over,
ladies and gentlemen!
He's not gonna be able to stand the count.
- Not to ten. Not to 100.
- It's over!
What a good way
to say goodbye to the amateur
from this unknown Mexican
by the name of Leonel Reina.
- Yes! He won! He won!
- He's the featherweight champion!
Unbelievable!
What happened?
He won, Roberto! Roberto!
Roberto, wait. Roberto, no! No, no, no!
We did it! We did it!
Yeah!
What's going on, Mom?
KEEP HANDS VISIBLE
I found Pascual.
After all these years…
I found him.
I found your brother.
Look.
Pascual! Where are you?
- Pascual! Where are you?
- Pascual!
- This is a mistake.
This is ridiculous. Get out of here.

who just laps up whatever he tells you.
I'm not gonna argue with you.
Me neither,
but you have to face reality.
Gordo's not a good person.
Of course, he is.
Like everyone else, he's suffered,
and just like everyone else,
he's found a way to move forward in life.
Yeah, by blackmailing
everyone he can, right?
Or have you already forgotten?
- You don't understand anything.
- Well, you're blind.
Just because you say I am?
Meche, you know I adore you,
which is why I always try to say things
with a lot of tact,
but you're very stubborn, very impulsive
and very self-centered.
Self-centered?
Yes, self-centered.
You think you know
everything about the world,
but just because you say something
doesn't make it true, you know?
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome
to the American Interclub Championship.
The most important event
in the youth boxing community.
Throughout the next few days,
our fighters will challenge themselves
through gruesome battles in the ring.
And in the end,
leaving just one lucky contender
with the title
of American Interclub Champion.
And here comes,
doing his ring entrance, Hermosillo.
We know very little about this guy.
All we know is that he was born
and raised in Mexico City.
A city of very tough fighters.
- Let's go.
- You can do it.
Clifford with the black trunks.
Nice left hook by Clifford!
CLIFFORD VS COHN
ROUND OF 16
Oh! What a lefty from Cohn! The Canadian!
Ah, he clearly slipped.
HERMOSILLO VS DONOVAN
ROUND OF 16
Hermosillo,
this can't be an official knockdown.
But he's gonna keep boxing.
He avoids that vicious right hook
from Donovan.

Martin "The Rabbit" Clifford from LA
making it to the final.
CLIFFORD
FINALIST
Seven, eight, nine, ten!
And this is it! Adios, Malena!
HERMOSILLO
FINALIST
Hermosillo makes it to the final!
What a derby!
The US, represented
by "The Rabbit" Clifford, against Mexico.
In the hands of Hermosillo!
Yeah!
Great job!
My story isn't easy to tell, but I'll try.
My father once told me
that destiny gives us signs.
We have to keep our eyes wide open
to see them and feel them,
but that will always keep us
on the right path.
I've had to walk a long path to get here
and be who I am,
and to feel proud of my name,
of speaking Spanish,
and of competing under the Mexican flag.
Do you think winning this fight
is part of your destiny?
Yes. I think it's my destiny to be here.
Must be nice to be treated like a hero,
when you've had everything handed to you.
I've had to fight for everything
since I was a kid.
Shut up! I can't hear!
Just try to shut me up!
And life keeps treating you
like the bad guy.
No one cares. Move!
- Come on.
- Huh?
But people still end up
bringing out the worst in you!
And you start believing your own lies
and twist the truth and reality,
and end up in the same place anyway!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Screw you!
What?
You're a dead man.
Just try! Just try! Just try!
And in the final event of the evening,
the moment you've all been waiting for.
For the Featherweight
American Interclub Championship belt.
In red, white and blue shorts,
Martin "Rabbit" Clifford!
Well, you've heard it
from this famous ring announcer,
Martin "The Rabbit" Clifford
from Los Angeles, California.
The favorite. The local.
With an outstanding amateur record
of 42 victories, only one defeat,
and 33 of those victories
coming by the fast way of knockout!
And in the next corner,
in black and gold shorts.
From the Gold Raiders…
…The Golden Quetzal,
from the Immaculate Conception
neighborhood in Mexico,
Felipe Hermosillo!
Go.

Hermosillo, this
Mexican guy who we know very little about.
All we know really is that he won
his four previous fights in this contest…
- I'm so excited.
- …and all of them by knockout.
- He's got a heavy hand!
- Wish I could be there.
He's a massive underdog, make no mistake.
- And, I don't know…
- Yes. Me too.
…I love his ring entrance
with El Iker and El Kevin.
That's how they call
this Mexican trap band.
Or Mexican-style trap band.
- However you want to call it.
- Come on, get it!
- Welcome to Las Vegas.
- Grace… What a surprise.
Surprised?
No, I'm here taking care of business.
No, Leonel's not a business, okay?
- That's not nice.
- Who said anything about Leonel?
I'm here for my brand. INTENZZE.
What do you mean?
You "espon" the team?
You paid for everyone's trip?
How else do you think Leonel's corner
could have gotten here?
Look, I know you like him,
but love doesn't pay the bills.
Boxing's expensive.
Can you really support his dreams?
Please think about it.
♪ He'll inspire you, wring you dry ♪
♪ Squeeze you, loosen all your bolts
Send you to the bars ♪
♪ Nothing hurts him, nobody beats him ♪
♪ Nothing pulls him down, he always wins
And I'm like, wow ♪
♪ Watch out with my dawg
Cuz he's gonna annihilate you ♪
Let's go, Mexico, bro!
I told you it's Leonel. I knew it.
What's the problem, Martin?
What's going on?
He's not who he says he is.
I'm not gonna fight him.
- What?
- No, he's for real.
He's representing Mexico,
the Gold Raider Quetzal...
I don't care what gym he represents.
He's not who he says is.
Martin, shut up and fight.
Fighters, are you ready?
Mr. Chucho, this isn't okay.
I'm not Felipe.
Don't worry about that right now.
Concentrate on what we came for,
the championship.
Fighters…
Come on, Rabbit!
…to your corners.
- No, this is not okay.
- I'm sorry?
- This is not okay.
- What are you doing?
Hey, you already won this.
Let me talk. I need to come clean.
Sir, may I?
Thank you.
Where's Meche going?
Hey, Martin's right.
I'm not Felipe Hermosillo.
Hmm?
For a long time
I believed I was an American citizen.
And I lived the dream
in the land of freedom.
But suddenly,
that lie exploded in my face.
- Miss Meche, what did he say?
- Miss Meche!
He's telling the whole truth.
- The truth?
- Why?
Yeah, I think so.
And I have to understand
that none of it was real.
It never existed.
If you're not a gringo,
why speak English?
There are Mexicans here too!
Who's that guy?
- Yeah, uh…
- He's nobody.
I'm not Felipe Hermosillo.
My name is Leonel Reina,
and I'm proud of my last name
because it comes
from the bravest man I know, my dad.
- Oh, my boy.
- Mom. Dad.
I love you guys.
Ever since I arrived in Mexico,
I've come to understand
that what matters most
isn't where you live
or how much money you have.
What matters most is…
…having a good heart.
And I, uh, met people who believed in me,
who taught me new values.
I reconnected with my mother tongue,
my culture,
and I also came to know true love.
I came to understand
that what I want most in life
is to be a champion, but not this way.
Not with a fake name.
I'm not gonna fight.
- I'm sorry!
- What?
- What was the last thing he said?
- That he won't fight.
- What do you mean, he won't fight?
- Not with a fake name.
That's not a big deal.
Just a little white lie.
Just change it
and tell people his name is Leonel.
Leonel says he's not going to fight.
Faker!
You have no shame!
You're brave!
Follow your heart. Come on!
We support you, Leonel,
Felipe, or whatever your name is!
Oh, Leonel. You're fighting me.
Why do you think
I burned your parents' gym down?
Oh, Christ!
He turned around and threw the cross.
- He could get disqualified!
- Fight! Let's fight!
The referee has to interfere.
Well, at least he was able to calm
both boxers.
He's sending them to their corners.
Okay. Let's see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take it easy, okay?
The final
of the American Interclub Championship
is taking place, ladies and gentlemen.
And the final for the Featherweight
Championship is in action.
Simultaneous blow!
- Each one felt each other's power.
- Come on, Leonel!
Now,
Clifford trying to fight on the distance,
but he takes a nice cross from Hermosillo.
Don't make it easy. Come on!
Oh, no.
Who said it was easy, huh?
Yeah!
Now, Clifford taking his distance.
He already felt Hermosillo's power.
Good right hook!
Not like that, Martin! What are you doing?
That's so many mistakes.
Oh!
You should have stayed in Mexico!
Come on!
Hermosillo at his corner,
and Clifford's punishing him.
To the body. The end can be near.
Hermosillo's in jeopardy.
Stay on him! Stay on him!
He has to get out of the corner.
And he throws Clifford to the canvas.
Mexican Style! Come on, get up!
Clifford is in the canvas
for the first time in his career.
He is getting up!
He wants to keep fighting!
Ma, I'm scared.
Don't be afraid. I won't let you go, okay?
Oh! Clifford has now
Hermosillo against the rope.
Oh! That was clearly a rabbit punch!
That's an illegal punch.
- That's illegal!
- Did you see that? That was illegal!
He should be disqualified!
At least the referee
should deduct a couple points from him.
Oh, he's just warning him.
He should deduct a couple points!
We can tell clearly who's the favorite,
who's the sheriff's horse,
and that's Clifford,
because this is illegal!
Ma! Mom! Dad!
This is gonna be
the end of the underdog, but he got up.
He looks pretty groggy.
If you ask me, I don't think
he's going to be able to continue,
but you never know.
We can't underestimate a Mexican...
Oh, my God!
The referee's calling them to action.
Move your feet around!
Hermosillo's saying he is ready
to continue, and Clifford comes.
Clifford's coming for his head.
Hermosillo's in jeopardy.
Come on, Leonel!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Mom!
Believe it or not,
Hermosillo's gonna keep fighting.
He just got up to the count.
Unbelievably, miraculously,
Hermosillo's gonna keep fighting,
and Clifford can't believe it!
There's... I mean,
is there a way to knock out this Mexican?
But Clifford is gonna find out.
And he keeps coming forward...
Oh! Nice cross by Hermosillo!
He's alive and kicking,
ladies and gentlemen!
The Mexican is back in action.
He looks hurt but he's gaining.
Yes!
Oh, my God,
another right cross for Hermosillo!
The Mexican's strong and back in action.
Clifford is down,
and this gonna be over,
ladies and gentlemen!
He's not gonna be able to stand the count.
- Not to ten. Not to 100.
- It's over!
What a good way
to say goodbye to the amateur
from this unknown Mexican
by the name of Leonel Reina.
- Yes! He won! He won!
- He's the featherweight champion!
Unbelievable!
What happened?
He won, Roberto! Roberto!
Roberto, wait. Roberto, no! No, no, no!
We did it! We did it!
Yeah!
What's going on, Mom?
KEEP HANDS VISIBLE
I found Pascual.
After all these years…
I found him.
I found your brother.
Look.
Pascual! Where are you?
- Pascual! Where are you?
- Pascual!
