Summary

When a dying boxing referee makes a confession about a 1976 fight, the team re-opens the case in which an underdog fighter, arranged to fight against a much more qualified boxer, took a heavy beating in the match and died only moments afterwards.

This movie's got me thinking, If some bum wants to be president in the United States, he really can be.

Sidestories

Will Jeffries pays a visit to Scotty but he doesn't seem to want to talk to him.
Listen, Scotty, I, uh- just wanted to say when my wife died... Well, I've been where you've been.(...) So, if you ever want to talk...

Scotty Valens goes to see Stillman:
Scotty :Well, I was hoping the uh-, suspension could be lifted...early.
Stillman : I didn't suspend you Scotty. I encouraged you to take time off.
Scotty :I'd like you to encourage me to come back.
But Stillman doesn't think he's ready yet and tells him to come back to work in a week.

Scotty and Nick Vera have a drink at Christina's bar:
Scotty :You're telling me how happy I'm back. Not asking how I'm doing. Thanks for that.
Vera : When the hard stuff happens, I say walk it off anyway you can. Whatever.
Scotty :You're the goods, Nicky.
Vera : But what you can't do? Is Rush's sister. You know what I mean?
Scotty :Oh, what do you think? What are you talking about?
Vera : Hey, Scotty. Serious. Anyone but that, right?

In the closing montage, Scotty leaves the bar with Christina.
