Screenplay
Punhos de Sangue é a verdadeira história de vida de Chuck Wepner, um vendedor de bebidas de Nova Jersey que aguentou por 15 rounds no incrível campeonato mundial de pesos pesados contra o maior lutador de todos os tempos, Muhammad Ali, e que inspirou Rocky, a bilionária franquia do cinema. Em seus dez anos como boxeador, Wepner teve o nariz quebrado oito vezes, 14 derrotas, dois nocautes e um total de 313 pontos. Mas suas lutas mais duras foram fora do ringue – vivendo uma vida de bebedeiras, drogas, mulheres, passando por altos e baixos ao extremo.
