summary-
the movie starts off with james braddock as a champion boxer, verry successfull. buuuuut its the great depression so he loses a lot of money and its tough and then he eventually just hits rock bottom when he has no money, hes not a great boxer anymore, he has to work on the docs, mae leaves kids(http://www.jamesjbraddock.com/gallery/family/7/ )at her parents house, and he has to get money from a bank-like place.
later on james' manager, Joe comes to him and says something like hey man i got you a fight against this really good boxer because no one else could fight him or whatever. then james is like yeah i need some money and stuff. soo in the fight theres no chance he wins because he's old and hasnt trained... but then he does win!
he continues to win a couple more fights but not getting too much money for it and mae is being all annoying saying she doesnt like boxing and wants him to work on the docs nd stuff.
ok soo this whole movie leads up to the championship fight with James braddock vs Max Baer(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RINFZ_8BhIw). Max baer is the champion boxer at this time he was the bees knees, he is very intiminating he killed 2 people in the ring. and James Braddock is this crazy story(thats why thier is a movie about him and not baer) he is a super underdog, all the poor people are rooting for him they all say he represents them and stuff it crazy.. and i dont wanna spoil the ending for the people who havent seen the move sooo there you go.
