It was a very good choice to choose Lee Marvin to play the principle character in this episode. He has those chiseled features and the brow of a boxer. I wonder if the actor, himself, had taken a few shots himself. This is one of those stories where someone gets so desperate because of some bad decisions that he literally must put his life on the line. The intriguing things is that boxing has become so violent that it has been outlawed. This is stupid, but it brought me back to an episode of the idiotic Jetsons episode where the football game they are watching features two teams of robots. So Marvin is chosen to fight a robot because his out of date product is damaged. He has to last or lose everything. The story is a lot of fun and keeps one's attention to the end.
