Rated 5.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 TXFilm 12:27 AM		Loved this film. I am not a boxing fan. But this was WAY more about just boxing. This was about the LOVE of a FAMILY!!!! Ole was at the screening....Gentle Giant! Big John's soul can be felt. If you are a parent that protects your children and only wants the best for them....you should see this film! The had fame and fortune and the family stayed together thru thick and thin!!!!!
