A guy from a rough life on the city streets gets into boxing, has a fairly successful career, gets his break to fight against the champion, doesn't win, gets a rematch, wins. All is well.
Remind you of the first 2 rocky films?
The main character was even called Rocky Barbella (how much more like Balboa do you want?). Stallone should never have won shut for Rocky, it was all a big con from a film hardly anyone would have seen and hence associate the 2. A bit like half the 'simpsons' storyline there, actually.
