Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The incredible life story of boxer James J. Braddock is that of the ultimate underdog: a heavyweight contender from New Jersey who lost his fame and fortune during the Great Depression only to win the hearts of the downtrodden during a spectacular comeback. While Braddock's tale was deftly dramatized by director Ron Howard in the biopic CINDERELLA MAN, this documentary portrays the real man through archival footage and interviews with experts like ESPN's Jeremy Schaap.

4.0 out of 5 stars For boxing fans only, September 2, 2006
I agree with the last reviewer that the bonus material is the real gem here. The actual 'documentary' is just a mediocre reenactment of Braddock's career, but the footage of four of Braddock's fights are worth watching alone. The famous bout between Braddock and Max Baer is shown in it's entirety, as well as Braddock's bout with Joe Louis. I found it amusing how awkward these guys looked compared to modern day boxers, but don't get me wrong, these guys were tough. It was amazing how Max Baer's mannerisms were exactly how they were portrayed in 'Cinderella Man.' Another thing I noticed which was not in the film was the fact that Baer outweighed Braddock by twenty lbs. in their fight. This might not sound like much, but anyone who knows boxing will tell you that this is a huge weight difference. If you just liked the film 'Cinderella Man' for the story, you probably won't enjoy this dvd, but if you're a huge boxing fan like me, it's definitely worth the watch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why I liked it, February 22, 2006
I am a big time fight fan. I rented this dvd thinking it was a documentary, it was not. The main feature is a boring dramatization. I am buying this dvd for the bonus material alone.

This dvd contains 4 fights that are must see's for the avid fight fan, the dvd is worth owning for these fights alone.If not for the inclusion of these actual fights this dvd is the Red Shoe diaries minus the babes, a total waste. Go straight to the menu click on the bonus material and watch boxing in an era where men were men. These guys are not "Golden boys" but they are golden. James Braddock was one tough hombre apparently with a heart of gold. The bonus material contains Braddock fights that took place between 1929 and 1938.

If you are like me and you knew who the Cinderella man was 35 yrs before you ever heard the name "Russell" what's his name then this dvd is for you.

In my mind, the bonus materials of this dvd and the movie "Cinderella Man" are complementary to eachother and should be seen together.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed!, June 2, 2009
The product arrived damaged; I returned it asap! It seems that too many businessmen out there don't appreciate the good business sense of properly packaging and protecting the products that they sell or bother to make sure that they're in perfect shape to begin with!
