“There are those who think, foolishly, that boxingu0026#39;s audience has diminished. Those people are as wrong as those who think the earth is flat. The fact, as this masterpiece shows, is that boxing, having become truly international, is bigger than ever. Vast in scope, u0026quot;El Boxeou0026quot; deals with the sport in myriad ways by exploring it as a metaphor for race, language, culture, economics, and politics. But at the same time, it never loses sight of whatu0026#39;s been called u0026quot;The Sweet Science.u0026quot; Told entirely as an oral history, it features champs both past and present, promoters, managers, trainers, broadcasters, referees, historians, and ring announcers — a veritable u0026quot;Whou0026#39;s-Whou0026quot; of the boxing world. Among those seen on screen are Sugar Ray Leonard, Julio Cesar Chavez, Israel Vazquez, Ray u0026quot;Boom Boomu0026quot; Mancini, Canelo Alvarez, Larry Merchant, Al Bernstein, Jose Sulaiman, Paco Valcarcel, Bobby Chacon, and many, many more. A must see for every sports fan!”
