“If there’s magic in boxing, it’s the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It’s the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.”
One of the better boxing movies, it’s a devastating story about a poor woman who loves to box and becomes truly great at it — and how that gets taken away from her all too soon; heartbreaking.
