There are athletes with a career that not only manages to bring them to the top of their field, but has the ability to reveal the complexities of the world of sports. A perfect example is the boxer Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez, who, despite being one of the rampaging fighters in his class, had to give up his championship title and leave it in the hands of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., son of the Mexican boxing legend. How a true champion gets his crown, his honor back? How to defend their dignity against corruption of sport's mercantilism?

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
