    I’m gonna let it fester in your mind instead babe. You won’t get to see a second of it. You can ask several posters here about it, it was passed around a bit in your absence.

Tell me what you would make the film about without just mindless fighting??? Really very few boxing films centre around the actual fighting which is just the setting the plot rotates around JOHN L was the

    It’s a shame you can’t see his bare hand in the clip otherwise it’d make it easier to pin point when it was recorded considering he blew off some fingers.
