Synopsis:

    The Punisher gets word that Lester Daniels, a known gangster, now has his fingers in the Boxing game, so he decides to start poking around.  He finds that Les' boy, B.J. Johnson is a pretty honest boxer, but has one crappy manager.  Les plans to make money any which way he can, but B.J. doesn't suspect it.  He fights to win, which Frank Castle admires.
    Frank goes undercover to get close to B.J.  He sparrs with him a little, and B.J. starts to admire Frank.  Frank goes out with B.J. to get a drink.  There, they meet B.J.'s girlfriend and Les' one-time secretary, Isis Green.  Frank starts to talk about the chances of B.J.'s next fight getting thrown, B.J. and Isis get offended, and leave before Frank is able to say anything more.
    Back at his base, The Punisher gets more info from Microchip, finding out that Les is making all these expensive moves in preparement for the upcoming B.J. fight.  Frank decides to do a little more spying.  The first time he tries to get near B.J., he's stopped by Les and his bodyguards, so later that night, he breaks into B.J.s apartment.  He goes for some strange medical kit on the nightstand near the bed, but Isis wakes up, and quickly stabs Frank with a syringe before he's able to react.
    Frank goes numb.  He can't do a thing.  Isis tells him that Les will be by after the fight to finish off Frank.  She turns on the television so Frank can watch the fight.  She leaves.
    When the fight starts, B.J. is kicking major ass, but as it progresses, he has to take a break, so between the fifth and sixth rounds, B.J. goes and takes sip from his coach's water bottle.  When he goes back out, it's over.  He gets beaten terribly and goes out for the count, and is quickly rushed to the hospital.
    By now, Frank is able to move a little bit, and is able to get an antidote into his mouth.  When Les arrives, he starts talking all this smack and right when he's about to inject him, Frank gets up with full force and nails Les.  They brawl for a bit, until Frank sees an opening and stabs Les with his own syringe.  He dies quickly.  The Punisher gets the cash from Les' wallet ($8000) and  finds nothing to indicate Isis Green's whereabouts, nothing that is, except a brochure to Scully's Ninja Training Camp...
