The Fighter chapter one

chapter one
A cold winter morning. Lower East Side New York.  Avi Lipinsky is walking to
Maxs Deli to buy bread for his family. 14 yrs old he is the middle son in the Lipinsky family. 
There is ice on the sidewalks and Avi is enjoying the cool air. He passes Epsteins dry cleaners and nods hello to Mrs. Epstein. Mrs, Epstein is a hard working woman in her 40 s.  Hello Avi shouts Mrs. Epstein how is your mom Esther? Fine says Avi as he hurries off.
Avi feels a tap on his shoulder, hey jew shouts Kelly Oreilly. A big Irish kid, Avis age.
Give me your money you piece of shit yells Kelly. I know you are hording it.
Avi looks at Kelly and tells him to get lost.  Kelly shoves Avi , Avi falls onto the icy sidewalk, picks himself up and continues to walk. Heh Jew whats  wrong with you?
Are you a coward ? Shouted Kelly. Avi turned red ,he threw a right hook at Kelly. It was Avis best punch. He practiced it at his Fathers Gym a thousand times,
Kelly fell down , he just lied on the ground and held his nose which was bleeding profusely.
He then suddenly ran off yelling dirty jew dirty jew.
Avi walked into shchlomos deli and was greeted by Schlomo. Hey young fighter how is your
dad Murray? Great Avi said. He has been training me real hard. Where have you been Schlomo  asked Avi. We miss you at the Gym.  Dad always talks about you being his favorite assistant trainer.  He is looking for someone to cover the 5 to 9 eve shift.
Oh, well my wife Hilda has been sick. And I have to look after her. I do not know when I can come back. How is that famous right hook Avi?  Well I am working on it.
Dad says I telegraph my punches.  You have to work on your speed Avi.
Also you  lack  head and stomach movement.  You have to move Avi. Duck , go under the 
punches. You have to go to the body more, to much to the face. And you lack patience Avi.
Do not burn yourself out in the first round. Schlomo maybe you can work with me on Sundays.  Well will see said Schlomo,  Saturday is the sabbath so that is my day off.
Sundays I spend with my kids David and Mark.  I tell you what I will bring David and Mark to the gym Sundays. Wow said Avi. Schlomo you are the best!  
Schlomo I need a loaf of Rye bread. Sure Avi.   Here you go.  The freshest I have.
Avi walks back to his Apt on Houston street.  He is singing to himself while walking up
the three flights of stairs. Passes  Mr. Tietler the Owner of the building. Heh Mr.
Teitler how are you? Fine Avi. How is the greatest fighter of all times. Great Mr. Teitler.
Avi opens the apt. door and he looks up to see his angry father with a strange man .
He looked up at this heavy person. He weighed about 280 lbs medium height and had a very red complexion. Next to him was Kelly.
