    I remember these fights for the olympic pathway .. both guys tough as nails, very well schooled and talented fightng time after time ... made me imagine life of tough black fighters from the days of Langford-Jeannette-McVea-Wills through Murder's Row fighting each other time after time after time with often little separating them .. Ricky fell into the category of tremendous talents that blew it like Everett , Ayala, Ike and too many others ..

    Top documentary.
    I remember Womack fights (specially in the amateurs) very well both before the prison time and after it.
    I really recommend this doc...top stuff!

    Holyfield’s amateur rival. Was the boogeyman most guys wanted nothing to do with.

    One of the original Kronk fighters.

    His life fell apart, alas.
