James Braddock ( http://www.eastsideboxing.com/JamesBraddock.html ) was a boxer that was not so good at boxing. He tried everything he could to pay the bills and feed himself and his family during the hard times during the Great Depression. His wife did not like him boxing because she was afraid he would get hurt. James gets a really bad hand injury and gets fired. After recovering, he beats every man that comes against him, impressing everyone and becoming the Cinderella Man. When he beats everyone, he is challenged to a fight with the best boxer at the time, Max Baer, ( http://www.maxbaerboxer.com ) who was a famous boxer that had even killed two men in fights. Despite the risk he knew he was taking by accepting to fight with him, he agreed. During the fight he suffers from a lot of bad injuries but manages to make it through 15 rounds and leaves it to the judges who decide that James Braddock wins.
