Summary
This prize fighting drama about a once great Black fighter who has to face four more bouts to achieve post retirement security packs a knockout punch. He is caught in a tug of war between his manager trainer and his corner man. The manager has an eye on the retirement stake, while the other wants to use him as a psychological talisman for a young fighter he wants to manager. The fighter only wants to fade gracefully away.
