    Entertaining fluff

    Firmin, a retired boxing champ, becomes a mentor for young boxer Mohammed. Soon enough Mohammed rises to the top but is drained of motivation before an important fight after a dispute with Firmin.

    Watchable underdog boxing dramady based on a fictional comedy sketch character named Firmin. Plenty of sympathetic characters and decent choreographed bouts including real life MMA fighters Jurgen Goemans, Makusu Kimfuta and Ben "Mr. Perfect" Dandois as Mohammed's boxing opponents.
