    I watched the Pacquiao one recently and thought it was really good. Didn't learn anything new (apart from him taking the Ledwaba fight on 2 weeks notice), but it was an enjoyable insight nonetheless.

    Have you seen the one with Mayweather? You wouldn't miss that one, wouldn't you, CM?

    Tapia is one of the best sport documentaries ive seen.

    What a story.

    There are documentaries you watch and there are those you feel, this is one made me FEEL. I cant remember - serious case of ADD - the last time i´ve sat down for an hour straight, watched someting, without surfing around, pausing, playing, pausing, make or eat food and so forth, but this one was special imo.

    I had no real deeper knowledge about tapia, so i watched with an open mind. Often when watching documentaries im left with a sense of there is something im missing, even those who last a couple of hours. (fx assange and snowden movies), but this one left me with feeling, that they really did show mister tapia, that they were true to him and all this in only 52 minutes.

    It didnt feel rushed and thats an accomplishment in itself.

    They probably left out alot of things, but tapia felt so real when he talked. What he said , the way he said it and the entire expression from top til bottom. HIS EYES have an entire world of their own, they´ve seen some ugly things i imagine and tell their own story, while he is telling an actual story! He sits in the ring, only wearing his boxing shorts, a little belly and a face that tells its own story. its simple, raw and sets a tone of "this is me, take it or leave it".

    How he got so far is beyond me.

    Chicken Little

    Easy, quick and utterly forgettable.

    By a comfortable margin the worst feature to come out of the Disney Studios since they invented the American feature-length cartoon in 1937.

    ...overall lack of substance ultimately lends the proceedings a vibe of irrelevance.

    Talent cast and good story, Chicken Little flaw with a poor screenplay

    I read Irish thunder, the Mickey Ward book

    It is very good, one thing that fascinated me was how he negotiated with Tzyzu constantly chasing the fight and Chavez both falling thru

    The what ifs are most interesting

    A good short doc was about journeymen, it had Marteze Logan in it. A guy with lots of fights but around 500 in terms of won and lost. It discusses the perils of having a big number in your L column and how you'll never be the draw have a powerful promoter and travel place to place to be overmatched
