yeah, it's unrealistic for a virtually unknown fighter to jump up and beat #1 p4p fighters but that's where it stopped for me.
I thought the movie was great. Much more realistic than I thought it would be in the boxing aspect. Fight sequences were amazing (not just wild hooks like in the old movies). There was actually a lot of slipping, rolling, parrying, checking, step-arounds, etc. a lot of actual boxing techniques and they made sure they put some slugging in between but they did it intelligently. You can immediately tell they worked with a lot of skilled boxers/trainers when making this movie.
The love story wasn't corny at all. It was actually pretty cool/different with her being a def singer like that.
The scene with him running with the motorbikes was dope but I can see it being corny to some.
MBJ reminded me of a couple of homies in this movie... relentless, confident, shyt talker even when losing, loyal, hot tempered, dedicated, loner.
Definitely one of the best movies in the series
