* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Stottlemeyer informs Monk and Natalie that in light of a recent incident where a private consultant in San Diego had a heart attack during a foot chase (leading to him and the city filing suits against each other), the Governor's office has passed a statewide mandate saying that civilian police consultants must undergo a standardized fitness test or be disqualified from working. This also includes Monk. He shows just how out of shape he is in his first attempt at running in preparation for the test.

* NotMeThisTime: Mobster Frankie Marino claims that Bach is no longer on his payroll and he doesn't want Regis dead, in part because he still managed to make money off the fight Regis threw.

* AssholeVictim: It's safe to say an assassin like Charles Bach really deserved to get shot dead.
* BoobyTrap: Charles Bach's first attempt to kill Ray involved planting a bomb inside a punching bag Ray uses to train. It fails because Eddie, a homeless friend of Ray's, takes a practice shot and sets the bomb off.

* NudityEqualsHonesty: Well, stripping down to the underwear means honesty, in this case. Stottlemeyer and Randy visit Frankie Marino, a mobster who used to hire The Iceman to see if he knows anything. Marino asks if the two are wired. Randy proves he isn't by opening his shirt and pulling down his pants. When Frankie asks Stottlemeyer if he's wired and he respponds "no", Frankie takes him at his word.

Monk despairs of being able to keep his job when the state mandates a grueling new fitness test for working police consultants. However, in the middle of his trouble, he becomes entangled in the case of heavyweight Ray Regis, who nearly lost his life to an explosive punching bag. With each other to rely on, Monk and Regis just might mutually emerge as champions in their respective challenges.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* AllForNothing: Louie and Ray bet against Ray winning and threw the fight so that Louie could afford to send his IllGirl daughter, Rebecca, to Geneva for experimental treatments. Given that both the match and her death were five years ago, the treatments apparently didn't help much.
* AlliterativeName: The client of the week is called '''R'''ay '''R'''egis.
* TheBoxingEpisode: The episode features Monk trying to protect boxer Ray Regis from an unknown assassin. In the process, he has to hang around a lot of gyms and even steps in as Regis' corner man.
* CharacterTics: Louie Flynn, Ray Regis's trainer, compulsively tucks his crucifix necklace under his shirt when he lies. This leads Monk to realize a potential motive for someone to try assassinating Regis.
* ChekhovsGun:
** The stolen paintings Stottlemeyer briefly mentions in the beginning turn out to be the real motive for someone putting a hit on Ray Regis.
** The deodorant commercial Regis is filming is supposed to begin airing by the first of September, and the person who put out the hit said he wanted Regis dead by the end of the month. This clues Monk in that somebody wanted Regis dead to stop the commercial from airing, not because of the fight.
* CoincidentalDodge: An attempt to kill Ray Regis with a bomb stuffed in a punching bag fails because Louie's "good luck charm" ended up taking a swing at the bag in question while Regis was standing safely out of the blast radius. Ray feels horrible about the guy getting killed in his place.
* ContinuityNod:
** Monk mentions that Kevin Dorfman, his neighbor who appears in multiple episodes, gave him his jogging outfit.
** When Stottlemeyer and Disher are talking to Frankie Marino, you can see a [=MagnaPod=] box in the back of the truck Frankie's guys are loading up, a reference to the computer mogul in "Mr. Monk and the Naked Man".
* CrisisMakesPerfect: Monk comes in more than twenty minutes late during his training session with Regis, but the boxer assures him that he'll do it when the time comes. During the bout, Monk realizes where the killer is, and manages to run up to the top floor and jump him within 90 seconds.
* DeliveryGuyInfiltration: Charles 'the Iceman' Bach blends in with a group of [=McSherry=]'s Catering Service employees delivering food to smuggle a custom sniper rifle into the Bay Arena.
* FoundTheKillerLostTheMurderer: Monk stops hitman Charles "The Iceman" Bach's assassination attempt on Ray Regis, but Stottlemeyer and Disher are forced to shoot Bach, meaning Stottlemeyer comments after the fact, "The sad thing is that we'll never know who hired him," only for Monk to immediately look at a stick of deodorant, remember a couple things that have happened over the last week, [[SubvertedTrope and conclude who hired the Iceman.]]
* IKnowWhatWeCanDoCut: Regis enthusiastically hugs Monk after he says he doesn't intend to report Regis and his trainer for throwing the fight, gushing that Monk only has to ask if he can do anything to repay him. Cut to Regis arriving at Monk's apartment at 5:00 to help him train for the fitness exam.
* PlatonicDeclarationOfLove: When Louie ribs him about slacking off, Regis quips back that he loves Louie too.
* ProductPlacement: During the scenes at the boxing gym, Ray Regis is wearing an Everlast hoodie when being interviewed by Stottlemeyer and Disher after the bombing, and [[DestroyTheProductPlacement the bomb itself is in an Everlast punching bag]]. This is justified because Everlast is one of the biggest makers of boxing equipment in the United States.
