HANDS OF STONE follows the life of Roberto Duran (Edgar Ramirez), who made his professional debut in 1968 and in June 1980, defeated Sugar Ray Leonard (Usher) to capture the WBC welterweight title. He then went on to shock the boxing world during the following rematch . . . but I won't spoil that for you! Check out the following red-band trailer to see some of the action!
NSFW:
There is more sex in this trailer than there is boxing! Given that the movie opens in theaters next week, I'm guessing that doesn't really bode well for the final product. Too bad, as it doesn't look half bad. This actually feels like an HBO flick, so perhaps it would have found a better life going straight to TV? Who knows? There's boobs, there's butts . . . I can think of worse things to include in a movie.
HANDS OF STONE opens in select theaters on August 26, 2016.
