Mabel treated Jimmy like a son. Jimmy and Mabel's biological son, Jimmy's "brother" Henry, both grew up as boxers. Henry was a champion, a natural boxer, whereas Jimmy was more of an up and comer - a boxer with less natural skill but with heart. However, in a championship bout between the two, Jimmy deals Henry a fatal blow. Although crowned champion, Jimmy could not handle what he did and descended into a life as a down and out alcoholic. Othniel sends Jimmy back to three days before that bout as Ray Tambor, a trainer. As Ray, Jimmy believes he can still win that bout and yet not deal a fatal blow to Henry. But Jimmy and Smith learn the truth behind the bout - why it happened and the circumstances that led to Henry's death. Written by Huggo See less
