I bought this video a few years ago for $45.00 because I was a fan of heavyweight boxer Duane Bobick. Bobick had fought in South Africa and was a very popular figure there. I guess he capitalized on that popularity by acting in BIllyBoy. The film however is far from Championship material, nor is it contender material either. It's pure junk. The texture of the film is horrible; grainy, too bright at times. The sound was messed-up in certain parts. Bobick's acting is wooded and stiff, but he's a fighter not an actor! The fight scenes were very good, but the story-line was demented. The boxing champion is a handsome, muscular psycho with a mother complex. the mother is a freak. She gets "sexually" excited sitting at ringside watching the champ knockout his opponents. Weird story. Lousey acting. Great boxing scenes. Worthless. I gave the video to a couple which are my friends, they agreed the movie stunk and they sold it at a garage sale for one dollar.
