    A movie about Satterfield? That will give SuzieQ an instant hard-on.

    Looks good though. There's seem to be quite a lot of boxing movies recently, despite its stagnating popularity.

    Any idea when it will be released in Europe?

    Satterfield is one of my all time favourites.

    If he was involved in a match it was always going to be entertaining.

    It's one of the most complicaqted and bizarre stories I've ever read, but "Champ" did fight Patterson.

    I would say more, but I don't want to ruin the movie/storyline for anyone wishing to see it.

    I remember reading the article this was based on posted up on these forums. It was extremely well written and an amazing read I just hope the movie will be just as good.

    Huh. Pretty suprising Satterfield of all people gets a movie about him made after all this time...

    I don't think the movie's about Satterfield, but Tommy Harrison, a journeyman heavweight, who pretended to be him (or deluded himself) for the balance of his life, and a reporter's gradual uncovering of the truth.

    Thanks for the PM Sam, thats a hell of a story and one I'd never heard before. I'll be keeping an eye out for the film.
