Just when he thought the Old Man was about to make his move, Barre Shepherd reminded him first: "This old man promised a young lad to win neatly, so I can't hold back. Protect your heart and internal organs well. Otherwise, this punch might kill you..."

He was accustomed to the Old Man's blunt and boastful talk; whatever he says, it just has to be that way.
It was a well-intended warning.
