this was an amazing film i wasn't to much of a boxing fan before i watched it but it really showed me how boxing is really an art it also showed me how charismatic Muhammad Ali was as i didn't really know or pay attention to him or his fighting history it was really tense and hilarious at times it wasn't a movie it was a real story of a great fight and no one had any scripts it was all their choice of words and the words that made me interested most was ALI BUMAYE which means Ali kill him and they were referring to George foreman the american rival boxer of Muhammad Ali who tired George out for three rounds and then demolishes him even a local reporter stated 'he was like a baby elephant you can do anything around a sleeping elephant but when you wake him up you are in trouble'
