"okay, now just as a reminder, i don't do this for a livin' and i do have a show tomorrow, so while i don't want you to take it easy on me, i want you to remember that i am not your enemy and that this is not an actual match..." malik is thinking the disclaimer may serve him well in the long run. while he is incredibly scrappy and a gym rat, someone that has survived more than his fair share of bar fights, that doesn't mean that he knows anything about fighting with form. throwing punches for him is usually about survival. "and whoever wins," likely archie, but he can't show weakness, "gets to be treated to pizza paid by the loser. we gotta deal?"
