For real afficionados of the boxing game, this movie will be a treat, as it focuses almost exclusively on the sports career of a boxer who has been told by the doctors never to reenter the ring. He has suffered a serious brain injury, and it could mean his death. Nonetheless, he remains determined to do so, for boxing, though it could be his death, is also his life. As a result, he resumes training, and fights a series of matches which land him a championship bout. The lead role is played by (Hidekazu Akai) a former boxer who in real life was required to stop competitive boxing due to head injuries.
