Tigre de Chamberi is also known as K.O. Miguel, which happens to be the name of the film's pugnacious protagonist. Jose Luis Ozores plays a naïve young boxer who is taken to the top by his worldly pal Tony Leblanc and no-nonsense trainer Antonio Garisa. Though his ring technique is more funny than ferocious, Ozores manages to emerge triumphant from the experience -- and as a bonus, he wins the love of beautiful heroine Helene Remy. Much of the comedy in Tigre de Chamberi is derived from its depiction of easily familiar boxing "types," from punch-drunk sparring partners to overzealous fans.
