The question of Broken and Blue AU. Where did Stan get the bruises? Judging by how angry Ford is, it's not the first time.
In his 40's he developed depression after his career boxing died down. He suffered far too many blows to the head, so he was advised to retire early and this led him to feeling rather lost in his life. Trying to chase the old feelings of his glory days, he started fighting in an illegal underground boxing ring. Where he manage to win a few more bucks betting on himself to take the fall each time.
Ford just doesn't want him to fight himself into an early grave
