Boxing films in 2015: Southpaw, Creed or Bleed for This?


It looks like there are a slew of boxing films that are set to be released in 2015… with Southpaw, Creed and Bleed for This being a mere few of them. I'm curious to read about which one are you most looking forward to.

Hands of Stone is coming out soon too, with De Niro. If I were to include all of them, it'd be ranked as this
1. Southpaw
2. Bleed for This
3. Hands of Stone
4. Creed

I'm not excited at all for Creed, but Southpaw I can't wait for. Then again, it's the only one we've seen a trailer for.

What a shock. Folks here excited mostly for films about white boxers. Go figure.

Hands of Stone got pushed back to 2016, but I'll include it anyway and give my reasoning.

1. Creed - - pleasantly surprised by the trailer. Jordan is a terrific young talent, Coogler a solid young director, the story looks good. I'm excited.

2. Bleed For This - - Miles Teller is hit or miss for me, but after seeing Whiplash he will always have my attention. Paz was a great fighter and had an incredible comeback.

3. Hands of Stone - - Ramirez as Duran is a great choice. I dont understand casting Usher as Sugar Ray Leonard but what can you do?

4. Southpaw - - I initially was very interested in this, but then the trailer came out and ruined the whole movie. I'll see it because Jake has been killing it as of late, but my least anticipated of the 4.

Come at the king, you best not miss.
