    It's on Netflix right now for those who have it. Amazon is selling 7 day rentals for just under $4.

    On a side note: James Hetfield is also featured. (Metallica)

    True definition of a f**kin warrior. Going back to my teen years even the shallow boxing fan knew who the spaz with the Jesus tattoo on his heart was.

    The Jorge Julio fight was probably last really good, standout performance.He often had a tendency to paw a bit with his jab, but it was incredibly sharp and authoritative in this fight and he pretty much shut Julio down with that punch alone.Some will argue the rematch with Ayala, where he boxed more than the first fight, but the Showtime commentary team - that were up his arse the entire fight - were really overstating his work and rarely giving Ayala credit for the work that he was doing.
