The Boxer
coltras3510 September 2023
A boxer called Kid Calico whom McCormick knows because they were jailbirds, is training for the Olympics. But a criminal is pressuring him to turn pro which would make him ineligible for the Olympics. So along with Hardcastle they try to help him. However, things get awry when Kid Calico is told to throw a fight in order to keep his kidnapped father alive.

Apart from the usual fun jostling and car chases as well as engaging characters you get the who's the best heavyweight boxer debate. Hardcastle says Joe Louis and McCormick says Ali- I guess it's a reflection of their age and who was the best in their time. Good episode.
