The tramp put up a valiant fight but alas it was not meant to be.

This boxing sequence in "City Lights" is pure brilliance!! If not for the legendary ending, this would have been the highlight of the film.

Interesting thing about this scene, there is music playing through out the bout but just as he knocks him out completely silence, a similar thing happens when he is finally apprehended by policeman towards the end of the film.
