I had to leave before it ended about 45 minutes in. Was the boxer dead or alive. Who was the bad guy? How did it resolve itself?

You know… sometimes the silences are full of meaning.

I love this show. [spoiler]The boxer’s brother was killed by their mother because the no good brother was a drug-dealing, woman smacking, compulsive gambling, fight fixing albatross around the good brohter’s neck. The boxer helped the mother drag the body into the woods, bribed the guard and got his real estate selling girlfriend to rent a car. He told his mom and his girlfriend he’d be at some bus stop in three days.
I really can’t figure out _why_ he did it. What did he hope to gain by disappearing for three days?[/spoiler]

Damn Biggirl! I knew you were good for something more than hot, steamy monkey love, incisive social commentary, biting literary criticism, gardening tips, award winning operatic stage makeup and competitive ballroom dancing.
Thanks again!!
