Jordan displays lots of gusto as the famed boxer seems to be at a crossroads in his young life. Now involved with a loving woman the pair face many challenges. When a name from the past decides to make a challenge, it spells lots of confusion, consternation and complete chaos.

    Cinematic sports fans by now know the story of Rocky. Acting legend Sylvester Stallone (Rambo) again offers all that wise Yoda sage like advice to a young man facing his own demons and the prospects of doing battle with the son of one of The Italian Stallion’s most memorable opponents.
