Against the Ropes
|
by charles s. dutton
Starring: Meg Ryan, Omar Epps, Tony Shalhoub, Tim Daly, Kerry Washington
|
Tagline: She gave the boxing world the one-two punch they never saw coming.
The true story of the first female boxing manager Jackie Kallen, who guided the careers of several major careers, including four world champions, like middleweight champ James Toney, as well as Bronco McKart and Thomas Hearns.
Jackie Kallen defied the odds when she stormed into the male-dominated world of boxing and became the most successful female manager in the history of the sport. Now, three-time Golden Globe nominee Meg Ryan brings Kallen to life in "Against the Ropes," a fictionalized drama inspired by this gutsy woman who dared to play the fight game and win.
Also starring Omar Epps as Luther Shaw, Kallen's champion-in-the-making, and featuring Tony Shalhoub as Midwest boxing kingpin Sam LaRocca, Tim Daly as TV sports reporter Gaven Ross, Charles S. Dutton as veteran trainer Felix Reynolds, Joe Cortese as Irving Abel, Kallen's boss and Kerry Washington as Kallen's best friend and co-worker at the Cleveland Coliseum, this exciting film truly packs a punch.
