Version of T-Rex (2015)
Okay, so you've seen stories like this before, and this one here is based on an actual person and real life events.This is the story of Claressa Shields, American female Olympic boxer and eventual professional.Sadly, and somewhat ashamedly , I don't remember her or the events portrayed mostly here in this movie and around the 2012 Olympics in London.I don't.But you see, I don't fancy women's boxing.As a matter of fact, here quite recently during the record breaking livestream broadcast of the Mike Tyson vs.
I don't like watching women hitting each other, or just women getting hit in generalI just don't like it
Jake Paul fight, I watched every single fight on the undercard and the title fight itself, all the way through.But when the women came on, I stopped watching momentarily, and took that as my opportunity to take a break.I guess I&# 39;m part of the problem as addressed in this film.I can't help it.
I'd watch that nowI'm just sorry I haven't started following her sooner than this
I don't find enjoyment in it.But I did enjoy Million Dollar Baby years ago.And I love, love, love the sport of boxing.Men boxing.Lifelong fan.And I love boxing movies.This is a good one .Also a good American success story.All of the actors are excellent here.The direction and cinematography are all great.Most of all, and best of all, this movie makes me want to watch Claressa Shields fight.The real Claressa Shields.
