realistic fighting?

There is none in this movie. Exchange of shots on the jaw with no damage makes me yawn when i see it. One of those shots would be enough to stun the opponent, with the second one he would be knocked out.

What movies do have realistic fighting in them? I was recently fascinated by Ip Man 1&2 (its not the ballet you usually see in a chinese martial arts movie).

Well, it was more realistic than Rocky.

As an ex amateur boxer, I had a record of 84-4-0. I genuinely think the fight scenes in this movie were brilliant at times. It's not perfect all the time, no reenactment is, but it's certainly one of the better movies for realistic boxing scenes.
