Gladiator

After moving to Chicago with his father, a reserved teenager struggles to adjust to a new school and neighborhood. A street fight draws him into illegal underground boxing, where he hopes to earn money but soon faces the dangers of a violent, corrupt world.

My take

You may enjoy this gritty, straightforward boxing drama for its intense underground bouts, friendships, and underdog spirit; Not for you if you want a complex story or a gentler take on fighting.
