    Anyone else made their way through, or in the midst of making their way through this 13 episode series described by Rotten Tomatoes thus: "It is a biographical series about the controversial life of former world champion, Carlos Monzón, the best Argentine boxer of all time."?
    I have just finished the fifth episode in which Monzon has defeated Benvenuti and taken the title.
    Personally, I am enjoying it so far. it has all kinds of back and forth time travel type cuts so you have to be paying attention intently, or I do anyway. But, was just curious to hear if anyone else watched or tried to and failed, and what others thoughts on the project were.

    semi related: Has anyone ever seen a version of Benvenuti vs Monzon 1 anywhere online that didn't look sh*t?

    Where I could watch that, I love Monzon because I found myself in him more than few times!

    No, pretty sure the whole series is in Spanish only, as it is made in Argentina I believe. No voice-over versions. On Netflix I had to watch it with the English Captions.
