"NINE...TEN...AND OUT " explores more than just the ring battles of
a legendary champion.It takes us from a roped-off arena to a far
larger battleground, that of life itself. Having fought 112 fights
on five continents, the holder of six championship belts and
appreciated as a warrior who took on all comers, Emile Griffith
captivated the boxing world with his exciting style and a disarming
personality. Enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame as
a charter inductee, Emile Griffith's place in boxing history as one
of the greatest prizefighters ever to climb into a ring is assured.
However, Emile Griffith's toughest battle was waged without gloves
and it was fought outside the ring. He battled ethereal demons and
devils, and, at times, himself. It was an inner conflict, but a
battle that he had to wage - a struggle to bring together two lives
- both his. Emile Griffith did not choose his career as a
prizefighter. It just happened and it all came so naturally that he
accepted that this was his world. Nor did he choose his lifestyle,
how he lived it or who he lived it with.It, too, came so naturally
that he never questioned that this, also, was his world. However,
there was always the apprehension that his two worlds were
incompatible.
