6/10
A boxer who looks like he has never worked out?

Warning: Spoilers
I am a big fan of the Twilight Zone, and aside from breaking down racial Barrie's at the time, this episode seems to fall a bit flat in terms of plot. I couldn't get past the fact that the boxer looked like he never lifted a weight in his life. Even if he was old, it doesn't add up. A boxer would be in better shape. No muscle tone and man-boobs. It's distracting and takes away from the story. Also, the trainer looks eerily like Willem Dafoe. Switching places during the knockout scene was just a lazy twist. The scene with all of the crowd close ups is just cheesy and a waste of time. The whole episode seems like they just wanted an excuse to break racial barriers and didn't focus on the plot.
