In this chapter, we learn that Jeremy is from a poor family. His grandmother always told him that he would grow up faster if he could fight in muay thai. So, when he wins the fight, he tells his grandmother that he will make her "sour children" from poor families "grow up quicker" . He also tells her that he has found a job in which he can support himself and his sick grandmother . But the good times are over, and he's beaten down by Jason. Jason continues to use dirty tricks on him, and jeremy continues to fight on the offensive. He's on the receiving end of Jason's punches, and Jason grabs him and pushes him to the ground.
