Synopsis: A retired heavyweight boxing legend in a fit of jealousy foolishly competes in a machismo box-off with a fast-footed, lightning fisted, younger, buffed contender who ultimately is elated when his hero wins the bout.

Compte de huit obligatoire : Compte de huit secondes qu’un boxeur à terre doit observer lorsqu’il se relève, période permettant à l’arbitre de juger s’il faut ou non continuer le combat.
Standing eight count: also known as a protection count, is a boxing judgment call made by a referee during a bout. When invoked, the referee stops the action and counts to eight. During that time the referee will determine if the boxer can continue.
