The Bleeder is the true story of Chuck Wepner, the man who inspired the billion-dollar film series Rocky—a liquor salesman from New Jersey who went 15 rounds with the greatest boxer of all time, Muhammad Ali. In his ten years in the ring, Wepner endured 2 knockouts, 8 broken noses, 313 stitches. But his toughest fights were outside the ring: an epic life of drugs, booze, wild women, incredible highs and extraordinary lows. (Venice International Film Festival)

It's weird, but I guess there really aren't any downright bad boxing movies. I'm a little ashamed that I didn't know this, but Chuck Wepner and his fight with Ali was the inspiration for Rocky. But does it matter? Chuck was a guy who thought he was famous and did stupid things, but then he calmed down and is still alive. There is something beautiful about this, about always living and always moving on.
