Creed
The reason why retired boxers don't do color commentary is because their concussed brains see 4 fighters instead of 2.
Surprisingly, the archaic pugilist in this drama has contracted a non-boxing ailment.
Determined to make a name for himself in the ring, Adonis (Michael B. Jordan), the son of Apollo Creed, seeks out his father's old rival and friend, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), to train him.
When the media gets wind of Adonis legacy, he quickly lands a landmark bout.
But his shot at the light heavyweight championship is endangered when his mentor is diagnosed with cancer.
A refreshing addition to the Rocky anthology, Creed is as much homage to the original as it is an update of the mythos.
With knockout performances, kinetic direction, and rapid-fire editing all aiding in its inspirational yet unconventional sports movie trajectory.
Conversely, retired ringside cutman can always get seasonal stitch-work with the NHL.
