Jim Braddock

Jim Braddock climbs from amateur boxer to professional prospect under manager Joe Gould's guidance, only to squander his rise through a dissolute lifestyle and a devastating loss to Tommy Loughran. When the stock market crash of 1929 wipes out his fortune and he's deemed too washed-up to fight, Braddock takes stevedore work and applies for relief—until a desperate opportunity to fight as a sparring partner reignites his career. This is the story of how a man the boxing world had written off staged one of the sport's greatest comebacks, culminating in a shot at the heavyweight crown.
