Spoiler Discussion - Do Not Read if you haven't see this
I've read many comments, but have not seen one mention "the stool."
It all came down to the boxer's corner stool. I had to replay that final scene. The stool was foreshadowed throughout the entire movie, I remember noticing the direction, with the stool being slammed down in the corner at the last minute, from various camera angles. It was always an element within the fight, one that is not normally noticed in a boxing movie.
Then if you remember, Morgan Freeman wouldn't make the trip to Vegas for the title fight, so Clint hired a local trainer. A few rounds in, the local trainer kept putting the stool in the corner, and in one scene, Clint yanks it from him, and says, "I'll do that". Well, in the final scene, it was the trainer who once again put the stool out there- but laid it on its side, which was weird, but allowed her to fall on it to induce her injury.
Just wondering if anyone else had comments on this
