- Dickie Eklund: Are you like me? Huh? Was this good enough to fight Sugar Ray? Never had to win, did I? You gotta do more in there. You gotta win a title. For you, for me, for Lowell. This is your time, all right? You take it. I had my time and I blew it. You don't have to. All right? You fuckin' get out there, and use all the shit that you've been through, all that fuckin' hell, all the shit we've gone through over the fuckin' years, and you put it in that ring right now. This is yours. This is fuckin' yours.
- Dickie Eklund: Who used to be the pride of Lowell? Huh?
- Dickie Eklund: [points at himself] Right here. Who's the pride of Lowell now?
- Dickie Eklund: [points at Micky] Right there.
- Dickie Eklund: [in reference to Charlene saying that Sugar Ray Leonard slipped] Hey, Mick, you think I knocked down Sugar Ray Leonard?
- Mickey Ward: You went ten rounds. One of the best to ever do it. He couldn't hurt you. You were my hero.
- Dickie Eklund: I was. I was.
