Favorite fight scene of all time

Hear me out! This may not be "The Raid" or even on the technical level of a basement fight from "Fight Club" but this may be my favorite fight scene of all time just because of the perfect pacing.

First off.....Hale constantly gets picked on and belittled by his friend/mentor Deacon. Even gets his face smashed in the boxing ring, making him an awesome underdog.

Then in the final fight scene they let Hale get the bejesus beaten out of him before suddenly springing to life and beating Deacon down hard.

I just love it because that's the EXACT storyline I'd use as a kid when playing with my toys, lol. Judge me or don't IDGAF it's amazeballs. I think it was even nominated for "Best Fight" at the MTV Movie Awards that year. Yeah, the MTV movie awards suck, but this is the coolest award category ever.

Yes, I like it too.

There's a line Hale says to Deke, earlier in the film about not writing him off in a real life situation, as opposed to the artificial constraints of the boxing ring.🐭
