Storyline

Arguably the best junior featherweight the world has ever seen, Wilfredo Gomez was not only a boxing hero in his native Puerto Rico, he was a 'cause celébre,' the fodder of sports pages and gossip columns alike. After his retirement, Wilfredo was diagnosed with a progressive neurological disorder. This gripping story documents the meteoric rise and sobering fall of a man whose fiercest battles were fought outside the ring.
