“Hector Camacho was a larger than life character — a boxer, but also a showman, an entertainer, a humanist, a loving family man, an electric personality who emerged on the scene like an uppercut to the jaw, and kept on sizzling until it all collapsed, just like a meteor hitting the atmosphere.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was entranced watching this exceptional bio doc. Camachou0026#39;s rise and fall are portrayed with honesty and empathy, never judgemental but always focused on the man — the kid — beneath the glitz and glamour, and the drugs and the thugs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe ending, which I will not reveal, was like a punch to the gut; I didnu0026#39;t see it coming, and I doubt any other viewers will, either.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHeartily recommended, even if you have no interest in boxing.”
