Just watched "On Freddie Roach". Anything similar available?

    Looking for character pieces that give a glimpse into a gym -- or into the "ordinary" occurences of everyday life of a trainer. Hell, any boxing documentaries period!

    There's a stylistically very similar, but less ego-centric, documentary called "Boxing Gym" that premiered at Cannes in 2010. Much better, but similar, documentary that doesn't serve promotional purposes. It's based on Richard Lord's gym in Austin. Jesus Chavez is probably his most successful fighter. Check it out.
