Title: Great art and great boxing
Review: This is one of the finest movies made - I think you can probably glean that from all of the enthusiastic reviews on this page. All of what these others say in praise is true.What I want to get across is this: This is also the most realistic boxing movie (non-documentary) ever made. I used to fight as a light-heavyweight out of Phila., and watching this movie gives me sympathetic muscle spasms, it's so real. I have to take deep breaths during the fight scenes in order to get my pulse rate back down.Every time I watch it, I forget for a moment that I am now an overweight, middle-aged guy on the sofa, and the years fall away to when I was a strong young man with good speed and good power in both hands.It's that real and that true. This, compared to other boxing movies where I view the fight scenes with mild derision. You want to know what a boxer sees and feels? Watch this movie!
