In 1975, boxing great Muhammad Ali faced off against an underdog - Chuck Wepner - in a match held at Summit County's Richfield Coliseum. Wepner held up for almost 15 full rounds, and even scored a rare knockout against the reigning world champ. Wepner's performance in Ohio inspired an out-of-work actor named Sylvester Stallone to sit down over the next three days and pen the script for one of Hollywood's most iconic films. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.

After beating Joe Frazier and George Foreman in two of the biggest fights in boxing history, Muhammad Ali was looking for an easy win over somebody. Enter Chuck Wepner... This would be a walk in the park for the champ before he could move on to bigger things. Chuck had other plans. After knocking Ali down in the 9th round Wepner told his trainer Al Braverman to start the car... "We're going to the bank, " he said. "We're millionaires." To which Braverman told his fighter, "You better turn around. He's getting up and he looks pissed off." For the remainder of the fight, Ali battered the challenger, opening up cuts above both of Wepner's eyes. But Wepner kept coming, and kept coming, and never stopped until 19 seconds left in the 15th round when Ali sent him to the canvas... and even then, Wepner got back up, but the fight was stopped. He had given everything he had and then some and his courageous fight caught the attention of everyone... most notably a young Sylvester Stallone who would use this Wepner fight against Ali to write a screenplay about a fighter getting the opportunity of a lifetime, and coming this close to becoming the heavyweight champion of the world. We know him as Rocky Balboa. But another filmmaker also was interested in the story of Chuck Wepner. Enter Jeff Feuerzeig, who wasn't as interested in Rocky Balboa, but rather... The Bayonne Bleeder, Wepner. So Feuerzeig set out to tell the story of Wepner in an ESPN 30-for-30 documentary called 'The Real Rocky" and then followed that up by writing the screenplay for a feature film titled, "Chuck" starring Liev Schreiber. Nobody knows the story of Chuck Wepner better than Feuerzeig and he joins us this week on the 50-year anniversary of when this unheralded fighter got into the ring with the most famous boxer of all-time, and stood toe-to-toe with the great Ali for 15 rounds. Feuerzeig tells how he first heard of Chuck as an 11-year old kid and the fight Wepner had against Sonny Liston that was the bloodiest battle one could imagine. The Sundance Award winning director for The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Feuerzeig tells the story of how over 30 years after the Ali fight, he was able to tell the story of the Real Rocky on ESPN's signature 30-for-30 series and how the ensuing court battle of the former marine Wepner, vs the Hollywood icon, Stallone was more a matter of honor and recognition than anything else. March 24, 1975 had Chuck Wepner on the cover of Sports Illustrated... the day he and Ali battled in Cleveland, Ohio for all the world to see... Wepner's 15 minutes of fame, turned into 15 rounds of theatre... and Jeff Feuerzeig tells the story better than anyone and shares it with us on the Past Our Prime podcast.

Is there a more Jersey story than a guy who becomes a beloved hero for almost winning? Chuck Wepner grew up in hardscrabble Bayonne. He served in the US Marines and was the NJ state heavyweight boxing champion. He bled all over Bayonne Times Editor Rosy Rosenberg's leisure suit in his 1970 fight against Sonny Liston and earned the nickname “The Bayonne Bleeder.” He fought Muhammad Ali in his prime as a huge underdog and stunningly managed to knock him down. His triumphant defeat inspired Sylvester Stallone to write the movie “Rocky.” He did three years in Northern State Prison (“I ran the place.”) He fought Andre the Giant and Victor the Kodiak bear (twice) in Asbury Park.  And that's just the beginning. Join Jersey Angle host Brian Donohue as he sits down at the kitchen table with 85-year-old Chuck Wepner, the only person whom the governor of New Jersey could possibly bestow with vanity license plates bearing one simple word: “Champ.”

When part-time fighter Chuck Wepner is given a shot to fight heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali in 1975, no one gives him a chance. But his heroism in the ring knocked down all expectations, including those of the champ, and inspired a cinematic saga in the process. He speaks to Ben Wyatt about the build up and the big fight itself. This is a Comuniqé production for the BBC World Service.

Many people believe that Sylvester Stallone based his screenplay for Rocky on the career of journeyman boxer Chuck Wepner. In fact, a well-received movie with Liev Schreiber, Chuck, was made about this fact, and in this episode of WTF Really Happened to this Movie, we compare the on-screen career of the great Rocky Balboa with his real-life counterpart.In it, we take a look at Wepner's claim to fame, which is when the “Bayonne Bleeder” lasted fifteen rounds against Muhammad Ali. Stallone would acknowledge Wepner as an inspiration, attempting to cast him in Rocky II. The two would cross paths several times over the years, with Wepner, an inmate at the same prison Stallone was shooting Lock Up at in 1988. Wepner sued Stallone in 2003, seeking payment for inspiring Balboa, and the case was settled for an undisclosed amount years later. So did Wepner have a point? Let's dig into the history behind Rocky, and Chuck Wepner in this episode of WTF Really Happened to this Movie?

Chuck Wepner fue un boxeador muy promedio, pero se encargó de ser la inspiración para el origen del legendario peleador Rocky Balboa. Sylvester Stallone no tenía dinero, pero un buen día vio en la tele la pelea que le cambió la vida. Wepner entonces era un desconocido para el mundo del pugilismo, apenas en Bayonne era donde su nombre sonaba con mayor fuerza. Pero hubo un combate que le dio el giro de 180 grados a su vida, aunque sin convertirse en campeón mundial. Rocky se ha convertido en una de las franquicias de películas más famosas de toda la historia y está por cumplir 50 años. Por lo que hoy sigue tan vigente como nunca. Y en este capítulo vamos a repasar a este boxeador tan particular. Chuck Wepner, el peleador que para la opinión popular es Rocky Balboa en la vida real. mail: irvingdmh@gmail.com ................

In una fredda sera newyorkese un attore un po' giù di morale entrò in un cinema dove trasmettevano a circuito chiuso un incontro di boxe tra Muhammad Ali e un pugile sconosciuto di nome Chuck Wepner, uno che saliva sul ring per prender pugni, più che darne. Un perdente che quella sera ebbe il suo momento di gloria. Uscito dal cinema, l'attore arrivò a casa e iniziò a scrivere una sceneggiatura. L'attore si chiamava Sylvester Stallone e il film che iniziò a scrivere quella notte era “Rocky”, il primo film di sport che abbia mai vinto un Oscar, nel 1977. Learn more about your ad choices.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6761IL MIGLIOR FILM SULLO SPORT: IL PRIMO ROCKY DI SYLVESTER STALLONE di Roberto MarchesiniIl miglior film sullo sport? Non ho dubbi: Rocky, del 1976, scritto e interpretato da Sylvester Stallone. D'accordo, dal punto di vista pugilistico fa storcere il naso; ed è evidentemente stato girato con un budget ridotto. Tuttavia è davvero un film eccezionale, non solo perché ha avuto dieci nomination agli Oscar e ne ha vinti tre (miglior film, miglior regista e miglior montaggio). Ci sono anche due aspetti importanti di questo film che vorrei sottolineare.UNA STORIA VERAIl primo: è tratto da una storia vera. Nel 1975 Stallone era disperato. Stava tentando di entrare nel mondo del cinema, a parte qualche piccola parte, non riusciva a rimediare niente. Aveva deciso di giocarsi un'ultima carta come sceneggiatore; ma la storia che sognava, una storia fatta di «eroismo, grande amore, dignità e coraggio» non voleva prendere forma. Ricevette un biglietto-omaggio per un incontro di pugilato che si sarebbe tenuto il 24 marzo di quell'anno ma che si presentava come poco interessante. Uno dei pugili aveva un gran nome: Mohammed Alì, oro olimpico a Roma e due volte campione del mondo dei pesi massimi. L'altro era pressoché sconosciuto e, quando era noto, non godeva di buona fama: Chuck Wepner. Bianco, tutt'altro che statuario (avete presente Ken Norton o George Foreman?), quasi calvo, aveva un difetto per cui i pugili evitavano di incontrarlo: aveva una pelle fragilissima, che si spaccava continuamente e che iniziava a colare sangue dopo pochi colpi.Ogni incontro con Wepner lasciava sul tappeto un lago di sangue che nemmeno un film splatter, tanto che era noto con il nomignolo di «Bayonne Beeder», il sanguinolento di Bayonne (sua città natale) o l'emorragia di Bayonne. Sulla carta, l'incontro era scontato: vittoria di Alì in pochi round; la sproporzione tecnica e fisica tra i due pugili era enorme. Eppure... sorpresa! Sebbene con il volto ridotto a una maschera di sangue pochi minuti dopo l'inizio dello scontro, Wepner continuava ad avanzare: Ali lo martellava con i suoi terribili jab, eppure egli mostrava una forza d'animo impressionante.Al nono round, il colpo di scena: Alì finì al tappeto, una delle rare volte della sua carriera. La cosa lo fece infuriare e, rialzatosi, cominciò a bersagliare di colpi Wepner; ma il bianco continuava a resistere e ad avanzare, mostrando una tenacia ed un coraggio che conquistarono il cuore del pubblico, ormai dalla sua parte. L'arbitro fermò l'incontro all'ultimo round, il quindicesimo, a diciannove secondi dalla conclusione naturale del match. Il pubblico, profondamente impressionato e conquistato dal coraggio indomito di Wepner, inveì contro l'arbitro, che aveva privato Wepner dell'onore di concludere in piedi l'incontro con il campione del mondo. Stallone, che era tra il pubblico, aveva trovato la sua grande storia che lo lanciò nel firmamento hollywoodiano. Quella sera nacque Rocky Balboa, lo stallone italiano. A Wepner, alla sua vita e a quell'indimenticabile incontro di pugilato, furono dedicati due film: Chuck (2016) e The Brawler (2019).LA SCONFITTA DEL PROTAGONISTAIl secondo aspetto: Rocky, quell'incontro... lo perde. Il pubblico, nel film, e gli spettatori della pellicola fanno il tifo e si esaltano... per uno che perde. Non molti lo notano, ma questo è un messaggio fondamentale. Non ammiriamo chi vince: ammiriamo chi lotta, chi si spende senza risparmio, chi affronta il proprio limite. Perché questo è il vero avversario, nello sport: non quello che ci sta di fronte, ma quello che è dentro di noi. Abbiamo di fronte una persona che si mette a disposizione, a volte a costo della propria incolumità, perché noi possiamo diventare una persona migliore; compiere, attraverso la competizione sportiva, una ascesi.Ecco perché non c'è odio, sul ring: ci si dà la mano prima dell'incontro, ci si abbraccia dopo. Questo ci riporta ad un'altra storia pugilistica: la competizione sportiva e l'amicizia umana tra il nostro Nino Benvenuti ed Emile Griffith. Si incontrarono, sul ring, tre volte; e se le diedero di santa ragione. E divennero unitissimi, al punto che, quando Griffith ha avuto difficoltà (di vario genere) Benvenuti non ha esitato a salire su un aereo e a correre in soccorso dell'amico; perché «non puoi non diventare amico di un pugile con il quale hai condiviso 45 round sul ring».

È la sera del 24 marzo 1975. Tutti gli americani e gli appassionati in giro per il mondo, sono incollati alla televisione. A Cleveland, in Ohio, si sta disputando un incontro di pugilato fra la leggenda della boxe Mohammed Ali e il semisconosciuto Chuck Wepner. Il risultato è scontato, ma il coraggio e la perseveranza di Wepner impressionano tutti. Ha promesso alla sua famiglia di resistere, di non cadere subito KO. Tra quei milioni di spettatori che guardano con partecipazione quell'incontro, c'è un giovane attore italoamericano che rimane affascinato da quel pugile senza speranze ma con un coraggio da vendere. Prende carta e penna e comincia a scrivere la sceneggiatura di un film. Quell'attore è Silvester Stallone e quel film è Rocky. Le difficoltà per realizzare questo progetto cinematografico sono tante, ma Stallone non si perde mai d'animo, va avanti, nonostante tutto. Due storie, due sogni impossibili che sono diventati realtà.

30 for 30 documentary reviewed: "The Real Rocky." Sam Anderson, Ren Clayton, and Nic Rudolph discuss a doc about they guy 'Rocky Balboa' was seemingly based off of. The wild life Chuck Wepner led included a fight against Muhammad Ali, a stint in the military, prison time for cocaine, a bout with a bear, and a liquor sales career. Much to talk about for the guys! And we haven't even gotten to the blood squirts animation this documentary featured. The crew then plays Mount Rushmore with movie theatre snacks! Ren has an idea for a doc about another extremely interesting and unique character: Joey Votto.

On a weekly basis I put together a podcast about what I am doing a long the journey of failing my way (in public to success) Me doing this show is quite conflicting because obviously I should be this finished polished article that can show you exactly what you need to do to be successful but like us all, I make mistakes and I'm on this journey to find out just how far I can go I really hope you appreciate that and don't judge me too much because you as well have a journey to go and if you are judging me then you are judging yourself and I would hate to see that happen On todays show I talk about if you really want to annoy me ..... Say this! Rocky is a boxing movie You probably think it is just a boxing a movie but it is so much more than that and we need to look before the movie was even made The story of the actor Sylvester Stallone Born with a birth defect, he suffered nerve damage to the left side of his face, causing him to speak the way he does growing up though he knew he wanted to be an actor (almost impossible to be an actor even if you look like Brad Pitt so imagine his chances) but he knew it was what he wanted to do....that is so important, you have to have a vision of who you want to become on his journey to becoming an actor, he was offered roles but he knew they were not for him, LESSON, you have to learn to say no it go so bad with the not getting any roles that he sold his wife's jewelry, he would rather pawn her jewelry than take on a role he didn't believe was for him. if you think that's bad, he ended up selling his best friend (his dog) to a random person in the streets for 25 dollars. can you imagine doing that ? Whilst watching an exhibition boxing match, with Muhammad Ali, the Heavy Weight Champion of the World, against Chuck Wepner, he was inspired to write a script about A Boxer who was never given a chance in a fight but ended up knocking down the champ and going the distance He was so inspired that within 3 days he had written a 90 page script, how many of you get inspired but act on it? He approached many companies but was rejected He was on an audition for an acting role and by chance mentioned his script, (never pass up a chance to put something forward, you never know) He was told you come back at the end of the day and show the script They loved it and offer 25,000 USD for the script Sly said thank you but I want to play the main role They said no because he wouldn't attract an audience as he had no experience and the audience wouldnt be drawn by the name They wanted the script, offered 50k, 100k 150k, imagine being offered that amount of money, he didnt hae money to feed his dog and now he is being offered 150k He said no... the offer went all the way to 360k, he said no in the end they agreed to give him the part but only pay 35k for the script He couldn't live with himself if the movie would've been a success and he didn't play the main role So, you've just been paid 35k, what is the 1st thing you do? rent a place? buy some clothes, buy a car? He went back to the streets and found the guy he sold the dog to he offered him 4 times what he sold the dog for, the guy said no in the end he paid 15000 USD to buy back the dog The rest is history and with 1 million USD budget, the movie went onto make 200 million at the box office PART 2 next week Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marksclairetraining/ LinkedIn: MarkSclaire https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-sclaire-97202045/ Website: www.marksclaire.com Email: mark@marksclaire.com Phone: +971566556093 ======================= Please support this channel by giving me a like, subscribing or leaving a comment.

Plus, our entire archive including our MCU reviews, The Double Shot and more. postwrestlingcafe.com Wai Ting & John Pollock kick off their look back at the greatest combat sports film franchise of all time with a review of Rocky (1976), written by and starring Sylvester Stallone. They discuss the circumstances that led to the then-unknown Stallone writing and starring in the film, the debated influence of Chuck Wepner vs. Muhammad Ali on the film’s story, the performances of its supporting cast featuring Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers and Burgess Meredith, the creative ways in which the film dealt with considerable budget limitations, the film’s incredible box office and Academy Awards successes, the classic Bill Conti score, and how unfavourably several of the film’s scenes have aged through a modern lens. Synopsis from Google: Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), a small-time boxer from working-class Philadelphia, is arbitrarily chosen to take on the reigning world heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), when the undefeated fighter's scheduled opponent is injured. While training with feisty former bantamweight contender Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith), Rocky tentatively begins a relationship with Adrian (Talia Shire), the wallflower sister of his meat-packer pal Paulie (Burt Young).

Chuck Wepner is the subject of today's episode of the Characters of Boxing (And Beyond) podcast. Wepner was a bruising heavyweight throughout the 1960s and 1970s representing the working class city of Bayonne, New Jersey, USA. He would acquire the nickname, "The Bayonne Bleeder" after suffering stoppage losses to George Foreman and Sonny Liston. Wepner will perhaps best be remembered for going nearly all 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali in 1975. He scored a controversial knock down in the ninth round of that historic bout with Ali. It is also widely reported that Sylvester Stallone wrote the movie Rocky based on Wepner's fight against Ali. 

In this episode Chuck talks about his boxing career to include fights with Muhammad Ali,  Sonny Liston, George Foreman and Andre the Giant. Chuck even talks about his 2 fights with a bear! As a former Heavy Weight Champion,  Chuck shares exciting behind the scenes stories from both his career and private life outside the ring. 

Today, we are joined by Don Hartsell,  the first Commissioner for the World Air League. WAL is organizing the World Sky Race, the historic first race of airships to circle the planet. Don is quite an interesting character. Hartsell is an advocate for a greener sustainable path using lighter-than-air airships.  We discuss Don's interest in aviation, the science of airships, and the goals for the first ever World Sky Race.  Check it out! We also talk about Scott talking to a Canadian bobsledder, the maker of Iron Man's mask, and Chuck Wepner's manager in one week.  Then, Mike tells us a very Burlew-esque story about getting lost in the woods due to a bug.  Just another fun week on the show!   Follow us!   FB-verbalshenanigans IG-verbalshenanigans Twitter-VScomedy

From Garrett Chaffin-Quiray in 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die: "Short on brains, long on brawn - and heart, John G. Avildsen's Rocky catapulted the floundering career of Sylvester Stallone into the stratosphere.  At the same time, it reaped unprecedented box-office sales, established a movie franchise, and landed a one-two punch of jock stereotypes as rich with caricature [sic] today as they were riveting performances in 1976. "The story centers on Rocky Balboa (Stallone), a boxer beyond his prime.  He falls in love with Adrian (Talia Shire), the sister of his friend Paulie (Burt Young), and then works to earn the respect of his trainer Mickey (Burgess Meredith).  On the receiving end of a publicity stunt, he eventually gets a chance to unset Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), the heavyweight boxing champion of the world. "Scored with Bill Conti's pulsing trumpet blasts and percussive rumble, Rocky is an immensely entertaining drama about struggling for satisfaction in an indifferent world.  As the combined story work of former Muhammad Ali opponent Chuck Wepner and 'Italian Stallion' Sylvester Stallone, the now famous actor-writer proved versatile and tenacious.  Writing the script, he connected its sale to his participation in the lead role, despite being virtually unknown at the time.  Desperate or inspired bid, he hit a grand slam and become one of Hollywood's biggest superstars. "The film is often overlooked as schmaltz, especially considering Stallone's subsequent career, yet Rocky lovingly details the white working class.  Rocky, Paulie, Adrian, and Mickey respectively work as a debt collector, meat packer, pet store clerk, and gym proprietor; the only upward mobility each has are wishes and dreams.  This 'biopic' returns to a world of folklore where underdogs get their well-deserved chance after working hard. "Important in Rocky are the values of honor and courage, so often questioned in movies throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s.  Such reassurance was well received, if gross receipts are any indication, and Avildsen's film walked off with Best Picture honors at the Academy Awards to make it one for the record books."

Personne ne frappe aussi fort que lui. Rocky Balboa, underdog prolo de Philadelphie devenu champion du monde de boxe, est le héros d’une mythique saga de six épisodes. Inspiré par la performance exceptionnelle d’un boxeur américain, Sylvester Stallone écrit en trois jours le rôle de Rocky, son double de cinéma qu’il décrira plus tard comme « son ami imaginaire » et « la chance de sa vie ». Stallone, alors outsider d’Hollywood, obtient, par sa hargne, le rôle-titre d’un premier opus au maigre budget et aux scènes improvisées désormais iconiques.Sorti en 1976, le film, récompensé de trois oscars, propulse l’acteur au rang de superstar. Pour les épisodes suivants, l’acteur bodybuildé se mettra aussi derrière la caméra. D’une chronique sociale, Rocky évolue en film de pugilat au montage galvanisant jusqu’à devenir, avec le quatrième volet, un blockbuster outrancier. Si les narrations diffèrent, les vies de l’acteur-auteur et du personnage continuent de se confondre à l’écran jusqu’en 2006 avec « Rocky Balboa », son dernier retour sur le ring.Animé par Thomas Rozec avec Yannick Dahan, David Honnorat, Stéphane Moïssakis et Lelo Jimmy Batista.RÉFÉRENCES CITÉES DANS L’ÉMISSIONRocky (John G.

Wepner never won a major championship, but he did become immortalized in history in a way that you – and not even he - could not have imagined. On that fateful night, as Chuck Wepner came back to take blow after brutal blow from Muhammed Ali, a young, impressionable and unknown Philadelphia resident was watching on closed circuit TV. Inspired by Wepner’s relentless comebacks, this young man went home that night and wrote the screenplay for what would become not only one of the greatest movies of all time, but also gave birth to arguably the greatest American icon. And because the movie was based on him, Wepner was offered a choice by this young man: ... Listen to the show for the rest.

"...hidden underneath this little character driven drama is actually an adaptation of three different stories. The first is the true life story of Chuck Wepner, a down and out fighter who went 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali and was the inspiration for Rocky. At the same time, it is also an adaptation of the Rocky film. It is a reimagining of Rocky-- stripped all of Sylvester Stallone’s American dream sugar coating. And at the same time, it’s also an adaptation of a third film: an old movie from 1962 called Requiem for a Heavyweight. So here we have this unassuming character driven independent feeling little film, that looks like just a simple biopic, but under the surface, there is actually something very complicated going on..." The post Chuck, Rocky & The Art of Adaptation appeared first on Write Your Screenplay.

L'histoire vraie de Chuck Wepner, négociant en alcools du New Jersey, qui a tenu 15 rounds contre le plus grand boxeur de tous les temps, Mohammed Ali, lors du championnat du monde poids lourds en 1975, avant de finalement s'incliner par K.O. technique. Durant les dix années où il a été boxeur, celui que l'on surnommait "Bayonne Bleeder" a eu 8 fois le nez cassé, a connu 14 défaites, deux K.O., un total de 313 points de suture... et a inspiré le personnage de Rocky Balboa dans la franchise au succès planètaire Rocky.

He's the Philadelphia Flyers' all-time leading goal scorer, a Hockey Hall of Famer, former coach of the Orange & Black, and now Bill Barber visits the Philly Pressbox Radio Roundtable. Bill joins Jim "Chet" Chesko and Bill Furman to talk about his great career, the Flyers' 50th anniversary, those two Stanley Cup championships and the state of the current Flyers. Also, we'll hear from Calkins Media's Tom Moore to discuss what Tuesday night's NBA Draft Lottery means for the 76ers. We'll have a little Phillies talk too, plus Chet reviews the new movie "Chuck," a biopic about the real-life Rocky, Chuck Wepner.

A statue of Rocky Balboa looms over most people’s visions of boxing and boxing films alike, but that hasn’t stopped contemporary filmmakers from mining the gritty world of professional pugilism for its comeback stories and unlikely heroes. On this week’s show, we watched three such films, starting with "Chuck," the new biographical film about Chuck Wepner, the club fighter who largely inspired the Rocky story when he lasted 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali in 1975. "Chuck" director Philippe Falardeau guests on the program, talking with Chance about Wepner’s rare comedic and charming persona in the world of boxing and what it was like to cast for iconic figures like Stallone and Ali. At the 30-minute mark, Chance and Noah meet the 2016 film "Bleed For This" at the center of the ring to discuss the vanity and traditionalism that goes into making a stock Hollywood boxing drama. At the 43-minute mark, they reappraise 2010’s "The Fighter" and have somewhat different thoughts on the merits of David O. Russell’s shifty Micky Ward biopic. Ready? Touch gloves.
