DescriptionOne of the most riveting documentaries ever to be made on the sport of boxing, THE LAST ROUND chronicles the extraordinary events leading up to the day that George Chuvalo, a real life Rocky Balboa type underdog from working-class Toronto, took on the man Amazon.com"Every fight is the intersection of two stories," someone says in this enthralling documentary about a near-forgotten chapter in boxing history. The stories crossing paths in The Last Round are those of Muhammad Ali, considered by many the greatest pugilist in history and a controversial figure in his 1960s prime, and George Chuvalo, a Canadian fighter whose fortunes swayed radically until he got a near-accidental shot at Ali's heavyweight crown. While the former Cassius Clay was busy re-inventing himself from sassy press darling to Nation of Islam follower and draft resister, Chuvalo switched managers more often than his socks, scraping by, exploited, and increasingly desperate to realize his potential. Ali never took him seriously until a confluence of social and ideological forces put them together in a ring, where their match-up, as we see through archival footage, had more than a passing resemblance to those 15 rounds in Rocky. --Tom Keogh

Amazon.comThis comprehensive HBO presentation documents the history of heavyweight boxing through the 20th century, beginning with Jess Willard's victory over Jack Johnson in the early 1900s and running through the reign of the controversial Mike Tyson. As well as being an overview of the Sweet Science, however, Kings of the Ring probes the private lives of the champs and the travails that they faced outside the ring, with special attention to the context of their times and the roles that the fighters played in reflecting and shaping society. Undoubtedly Max Baer's and Joe Louis's victories over Max Schmeling in the 1930s carried some political weight as the unwilling symbol of Nazi Germany was pummeled by both Americans. Some 30 years later, Cassius Clay's personality, brash attitude, and superior skills in the ring brought him attention. That attention turned to controversy when Clay joined the Nation of Islam, changed his name to Muhammad Ali, and was jailed for refusing to go to Vietnam. Also, no history of 20th-century heavyweight boxing would be complete without the occasional freak show, such as the Italian strongman Primo Carnera boxing with a kangaroo before being taken apart by the much smaller Max Baer. There is, of course, plenty of thrilling fight footage to go around as well, with boxers such as the wild Jack Dempsey, the remarkable Rocky Marciano, and Ali's astounding speed and footwork. Marciano's hammering of Jersey Joe Walcott in particular is worth the price of admission. --Jerry Renshaw

DescriptionThis inspiring tale looks at the incredible life of a young Irishman who surmounts poverty and prejudice to become a boxing champion and national hero. Francis Barrett grows up in a cluttered trailer park without electricity and running water among the "Travellers," a poor group of gypsies scorned by the rest of Irish society. Determined and naively optimistic, Barrett trains with the local barber in a sadly underequipped amateur boxing club. Against all odds, Francis achieves his dream of participating in the 1996 Olympics and becomes the first Traveller ever to represent Ireland! A refreshingly honest and unflinching tribute to an unlikely hero. 76 minutes.

Amazon.com essential videoDecades ago, documentary filmmaker Leon Gast attempted to complete a feature about the 1974 "Rumble in the Jungle" championship bout between boxers Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire. Sundry complications, though, held up the project until its release in 1996. It was well worth the delay. From Gast's perspective of modern history, the six weeks Ali and Foreman were forced to spend waiting in Africa for their fight to take place now looks like an important moment in America's cultural understanding of African American roots. In a nutshell, Ali had been stripped of his heavyweight champion title because his opposition to the Vietnam War-era draft had landed him in prison. Reigning champ Foreman agreed to a Don King-promoted match in Kinshasa, but after all parties got there the fight was put off. Gast captures the charismatic Ali, in the ensuing days and weeks, going out among the people and getting to know them while the more reclusive Foreman keeps to his own company. Meanwhile, King brings over black American artists such as James Brown and the Spinners to mix it up with African musicians. The sense of excitement and connection is thrilling, as is the boxing footage of Foreman and Ali finally taking swings at one another in a titanic duel. Writers George Plimpton and Norman Mailer, each of whom was covering the fight as journalists, are on hand to recollect the details. Whether you're a fight fan or not, this is a unique experience and a fascinating insight into America's sense of identity. --Tom Keogh

Amazon.comThis compendium of perfect punches hosted by British boxing expert Barry Hearn may set some kind of record for the number of devastating blows landed in the space of an hour and 15 minutes. Compiled from film footage shot at English arenas, punches of all varieties come fast and furious, and it seems that someone's back is always bouncing off the canvas. Hearn appears throughout to offer his insights to particular fighters and their devastating arsenal of punches. Among the boxers seen battering their opponents are Lennox Lewis, Herbie Hide, and Prince Naseem Hamed. There are also brief interviews with boxers, plus shots that establish the atmosphere at particular bouts. But for the most part the punches themselves are the stars of the show. Various types of knockout punches are profiled, such as a segment on "body punches," which, as Hearn cogently notes, can "put someone down on the floor just as quickly as a punch to the head." And while the footage is of generally high quality, with slow-motion replays provided so dedicated fight fans can see exactly how a devastating blow was landed, there's no denying that things can get a little repetitive. But for those fight fans who revel in the power punch, this production may be a knockout. --Robert J. McNamara
