Counterpunch

CounterPunch, directed by Jay Bulger (Beware of Mr. Baker) and executive produced by Mandalay Sports Entertainment brings to light the true stories of a number of young boxers determined not only to turn around the fate of the industry, but to also make sure their names end up in the firmament alongside the most remembered and revered champions. “I was an amateur boxer. Boxing is my passion,” said Bulger. Many years after hanging up the gloves, I set out to capture the state of boxing in America, following three boxers, in three different chapters of a boxing career. When combined, I hope they provide a complete picture of the sport today.” Through discipline, sweat, heartbreak and triumph, the new generations depicted in the documentary reveal just how unrelenting the journey is to get there.
