Anybody can lose one fight, anybody can lose once, you'll come back from this you'll be champion of the world.

Maggie: Working the bag, boss.
Frankie: I'm not your boss and that bag's working you.

Maggie: I've got nobody but you, Frankie.
Frankie: Then you've got me.

Frankie Dunn: You forgot the rule. Now, what is the rule?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Keep my left up?
Frankie: Is to protect yourself at all times. Now, what is the rule?
Maggie: Protect myself at all times.
Frankie: Good. Good.

Girlie tough ain't enough.

Frankie: How many eyes do you need to finish this fight?
Maggie: (with a black eye) One's enough.

Maggie: You're gonna leave me again?
Frankie: Never.

If there's magic in boxing, it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.

(Argues) I ain't doing great, I'm losing!!!

(retreating to her corner after trading punches with her opponent. Sadly, the amount she received was more than that of which she threw) Sally, what am, I doing wrong? everytime I get close she's on me!

Maggie: (getting pushed into the stool on her corner. Her opponent had just scored at least two direct punches that popped her head back) She's tough, I can't go inside, I can't get close enough to hit her.
Frankie: You know why that is?
Maggie: Why?
Frankie: Cause she's a better fighter than you are, that's why. She's younger, she's stronger, and she's more experienced. Now, what are you gonna do about it?
[Next round starts. Maggie knocks her out in few seconds]

Frankie likes to say that boxing is an unnatural act, that everything in boxing is backwards: sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back... But step back too far and you ain't fighting at all.

There is magic in fighting battles beyond endurance.
