On March 24, 1975, eighth ranked Chuck Wepner (Zach McGowan) from New Jersey fought Ali (Jerrod Paige) for the title. It would become an inspiration for "Rocky." Burt Young who was in "Rocky" is also in this film. This fight happens at about 30 minutes into the film. The rest of the film is about how Chuck messed up his life after he peaked, unable to capitalize on his fighting or fame anymore. It was interesting in that I did not know the story. Not exactly a fight film. Just a biopic. Guide: F-word. Brief sex, brief nudity (Taryn Manning)

Main actor was good. Poor casting for the actor that plaid Stallone.

Asking his opponent to call him the N word. I'm a pugilist fan, but this film really shows the underside of this dark sport.

This is truly a bad movie. The acting is terrible, the script is terrible, the fights are terrible. I watched maybe 30 minutes of the movie before I gave up. I can't find any good comment to say about that movie.

Acting was strong. Story was strong. I was engaged until the final act. The writers didn't close. Flat and disappointing ending.

The acting and the script in this film are so incredibly bad that I have to believe it's bad on purpose. Especially Muhammed Ali, his character portrayal is nothing short of a hysterical comic.

Only if you are a boxing fan would should you consider watching this movie and even then think twice as this movie is god awful. The whole movie is centered around Chuck Wepner and his self-destructive habits. I did not think movies this bad would even be allowed on DVD or streaming, but Hollywood continues to show they have now idea how to make a good movie anymore. Chose something else to watch and this is really not worth your time. But if you insist on watching it, you can scan through the movie quickly as it is such a slow dreary movie you would miss nothing.
