The true life story really is exceptional. Howard turned it into Rocky. Totally unneeded embellishment. I am a boxing fan and the mistakes made in this movie were the sort that made the movie cliche. Had they told it more accurately and had they made the daring decision not to show the actual fight but just show the people glued to their radios it could have been a terrific movie. By the way the actual fight was a bore. The excitement was in the fact that he went the distance and won. the excitement surely was in the hearts of the fans.
