The true story of Roberto Duran. Duranﾒs story is one to be told. Growing up in the streets of Panama, literally fighting for everything. Becoming a good boxer seemed to be natural for Duran. But it was when he caught the eye of Ray Arcel, one of the best boxing trainers and one of the most respected men in boxing history. Arcel would take him from a good boxer to a world champion boxer. We get to see his relationships, him dealing with the conflict taking place in his country during that time, and his journey to becoming a boxing legend. It was great to watch his story unfold through all the challenges he faced. I love boxing movies and true story movies. Well, this one gave me both. If you like boxing movies, stories about the underdog and the struggles a fighter deals with, and love to watch some great boxing, then I believe you will enjoy this one. - Kevin (6/10)
