Character Role Analysis

Eddie "Scrap Iron" Dupris

Scrap is more than just Frankie's best bud. He's his conscience. His soulful, one-eyed sounding board. When he thinks Frankie's making a mistake—his hesitance to put Big Willie in a title fight, for example—Scrap lets him know it. If Frankie needs a gentle nudge to put things in perspective, like when he foolishly blames himself for Maggie's accident, Scrap's there to offer advice and set his old pal straight. Scrap doesn't just keep the Hit Pit chugging along; he keeps Frankie going, too.
