He is a down-and-out boxer whose glory days are long gone, and he doesn't want to mention them again. Now he pushes a supermarket trolley and wanders the streets without even a name. His companions give him a nickname-Repeated Chewing (Samuel L. Jackson). Eric (Josh Hartnett) is an unsuccessful reporter. He has nothing to do except being sent by his boss to interview some worthless sports news. A fight brings these two seemingly unconnected men together. When Eric rescued Repeated Chewing from the fists of the gangsters, he also discovered his amazing boxing talent. He recognized that this dirty old man was actually a boxing genius who was once popular, and in the rumors, he had already died. A unique opportunity is just around the corner. Eric knows what a heavyweight news report this will be, and he will become famous in one fell swoop.
