Storyline

Sarge insists on fighting Titan, a heavyweight champion, to earn money for Clay when he learns his friend is considering leaving law enforcement because to pay for a relative's medical expenses. When Sarge is knocked out in the first round, not only is Clay disappointed, but the Silver City townsmen who wagered heavily on the bout take a financial bath and accuse the Army man of throwing the fight.
