Il guerriero del ring (1981)
Leon, un giovane di colore, lascia gli studi di medicina per dedicarsi al pugilato al fine di guadagnare il denaro necessario per curare la sorellina gravemente ammalata. Leon passa di vittoria in vittoria ed in breve diventa ricco e famoso, circondato ed ammirato da uno stuolo di fans femminili. Pur essendo d'animo buono e generoso, Leon si lascia travolgere dal successo, cosi' da trascurare per facili avventure la sua ragazza e da farsi irretire da un manager disonesto che lo sfrutta fino ad imporgli, per arricchirsi, una sconfitta truccata.
