I am a fan of boxing and this movie blended the realistic with the spectacular as I've never seen demonstrated in an artistic medium. The fight scenes were tight and on-point with none of the silly round-house punches or dramatic reactions to punches that marked early Rocky movies. This felt like a strategic-rendering of an actual fight backed with all the players' motivations. I am astounded.
I don't want to give away the story b/c its important to me that viewers glean their own meaning and interpretation. However, in general, this movie traverses the waves and crests of emotion involved both inside the ring and out. It is a moving, passionate exhibition of art and boxing combined. Micheal B Jordan's directing was sensational and flawless.
