Netflix's 'CounterPunch' Documentary Follows the Trials & Tribulations of Amateur Boxers
Trying to bring the sport back to its glory.
Netflix keeps the hits coming this time taking a look into the trials and tribulations of amateur boxers in the documentary CounterPunch. Directed by Jay Bulger, the film follows several young boxers who are trying to make it in the industry and restore the sport to its glory days of Muhammad Ali and other famous boxers. The CounterPunch premieres at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 15 and Netflix on June 16.
Bulger, who happened to have been an amateur boxer himself states:
“Many years after hanging up the gloves, I set out to capture the state of boxing in America, following three boxers, in three different chapters of a boxing career. When combined, I hope they provide a complete picture of the sport today.”
