William DeMeo's vision of this story is carried out flawlessly. He wrote an authentic script and performed realistically as the nice guy who won't let bullies walk all over him portraying Lefty Rodriguez. His training in real life as a boxer allows him to execute the boxing scenes believably. His son, Cris DeMeo, plays the teen version of William, which is perfect, since you can see the family resemblance, and Cris is a great actor in his own right. I'm a fan of all of William DeMeo's movies and this is one of my favorites.
