* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Gabriel Caine

** When the prison warden is holding a gun on him...

** When the underling of the gangster who's fronting his bet is about to hang him from a tree:

'''Caine:''' Well, that's a distinct possibility. But I'd bet, I don't know, four dollars against an hour with your mother that it doesn't turn out that way. (''Paoulo punches him in the stomach'') You're right. That was insulting. I'm sorry. Five bucks. }}

* [[Ironic Echo]]: A particularly awesome non-verbal example. {{spoiler|Gillon signals to a fighter to throw the fight by giving what looks like a thumbs-up gesture, then changing it to thumbs down. Caine does the same thing to Palmer's last opponent, Minoso Torres, to let him know it's time to throw that fight.}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: When Caine is trying to inspire Palmer against a particularly tough fighter, he gives a little speech acknowledging how tough his opponent is, ending with, "But you remember this! You... are black." Palmer wonders what the hell that means, and Caine admits he was trying to inspire him; "It's a ''[[Roots]]'' kind of thing." Palmer retorts, "Well, you're shit at motivation." Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

** There was an echo of this later on (but it was cut and only appears in one of the trailers). Roy is facing a nightmare challenger from his past.
