And although Carmen looks the part of a boxer, Carman is no actor, and should never venture onto the big screen again. It seems as if somebody watched one too many boxing movies in this shoddy Rocky-redux. This movie takes as many tired old cliches as it can and throws them all into one nearly unwatchable movie. It's all there. The training, the reluctant fighter, the new love interest, and the climactic final fight.
Leone is a preacher who, ten years ago was a championship boxer.
He is trying to build a multimillion-dollar building for his ministry, but lacks the funds. For most of the movie, nothing happens. Cesar is also trying to break free from a local gang. Banks is the current cruiserweight champion, and challenges Orlando to a fight. He offers Orlando the money needed to fund his ministry if he agrees to fight.
