That's about accurate.:rofl

 

Way to steal this vid from another poster from the scene larry and copy the exact same title. Funny video though.

 

This was actually hilarious! :rofl

 

im dying

 

Seeing as the first vid used the clips from one of my favorite boxing motivational video and tried to mock it,,, I give it a thumbs down. I've used that video on many occasions to help get me motivated on the days I just don't feel like going to the gym along with other vids..

 

Hahaha, well played man.

 

Haha this is funny. It's funny because he is a bum and bums are pathetic. Bums do things like ask for handouts on kickstarter. Because they aren't real men and aren't able to provide enough cash flow to go see their favorite boxing fight.

Hey, remember when you did that? Maybe you could be one of those bums? Maybe if you got your glass jaw shattered by the likes of kovalev or GGG you wouldn't have to beg men for money to see your idol in the ring?

 

I actually like the video because the statement it makes is compelling. It's a modern day David and Goliath. I don't expect Wade to win but I hope that he gives a good accounting of himself and put some hurt on GGG.:bbb

 

It'd have been funnier if the ending was him getting KTFO in slow mo though

 

An inspiring video presentation of a young struggling hungry lion, down on his luck, looking to turn his life around with a moment of glory. Like the montage from Rocky 4, where the pampered champ exercises on expensive machines with high priced trainers, while the people's champion hits the streets in a back to basics traditional approach. One fighter represents the everyman, with the audience's hopes and dreams on his back, and the other representing the establishment, the status quo.

I especially like the way the director chose to shoot the scenes Golovkin is in as full of light, representing his power, while his opponent's world is full of darkness, symbolically restricting and oppressing his world. Golovkin is viewed from medium length shots highlighting the sense of space and freedom around him, whereas the opponent is shot confined in a close up, hemmed in by the frame, so that we can see the desperation and determination in his eyes. Even the shot of the opponent on the subway depicts him as isolated, alone, crouched in a corner with his back to the wall. This is intercut with shots of Golovkin striding confidently through wide open, shining, brightly lit spaces reinforcing their psychological distance.

At the beginning of the piece, we see an unknown man. Like a Clint Eastwood character in a Western, his name is never given. In his anonymity he becomes the quintessential everyman, or perhaps an angry ghost yearning for revenge. Clutching a small round container he shuffles from scene to scene, until he meets The Trainer, a silent figure who's been waiting in a ring for The Challenger, we know not how long. With a gesture, he beckons The Challenger to work, light shining down from above him. Is he meant to represent God, and the light of his grace, bestowed on the virtuous fighter?

And that box the Challenger holds, which he gives to The Trainer in gratitude could only represent the symbolic sacrifice of a fighter giving his all for that once in a lifetime chance to transform himself and become a better man. At first, by the way The Challenger clutches the container, we are led to assume that it must hold some object of great value, but once opened it spills out it's secrets to reveal it's true identity as a simple box of change. Is this the change which the fighter wishes to see in his own life or does the small denomination of the pennies, nickels, and dimes represent the diminished value of the physical world the fighter is leaving with it's emphasis on filthy lucre and material things for the qualitatively more spiritual world he hopes to gain by self-sacrifice and atonement?

Bravo, OP. A cinematic triumph.

 

Brought a small smile to my face. Decent.
