By far the worst boxing movie of ALL TIME !!!

I am now a 74 year old total sports nut. At six years old the very first sport I became "addicted" to was boxing, and I have remained a huge fan all these years. I consider myself very knowledgeable about both the sport and business of boxing and the 100 or so boxing movies I have seen. As one of the public reviewers said "...this movie makes any Rocky movie or any other boxing movie seem like Shakespeare by comparison ...". It is actually far worse than that. Please do not ask me to "show my work" by pointing out some problems. It is much easier to point out the few good aspects. There weren't any.

I don't know about the worst ever, I don't think is a "boxing" movie either, is more like a melodrama but sure it was boring as hell. That little girl sure can act though, she was the best part of the movie.
