This is a strong documentary about Muhammad Ali's last fight and the man he lost to, Larry Holmes, who apparently gets little recognition in the sport. (And, frankly, I've never heard of him.) The film collects a lot of footage shot at the time for a documentary that never got finished, and pairs it with new interviews. I do feel like the original film might have been a great one but the decision still works reasonably well, especially for someone like me who doesn't know boxing and so needs some context (provided by the recent interviews). Definitely one of the stronger ones in the series so far. Worth watching whether or not you care about boxing.
