Had potential but never made it to the bell.

Rating: 5/10 (1 March 2019)

Solid work by Michael B and Phylicia Rashad and some good story lines make this movie watchable, but in each act of this film, the director fails to deliver the punch. The final round of the fight had so much potential to live up to the similar scene in Rocky 4, but failed miserably. Dull editing and uninspired music round out this so-so film. I hope the next installment is better than this lazy jab.
