In November 1988, Vinny Pazienza boxes Roger Mayweather for the WBC World Light Welterweight Title. He arrives late to the weigh-in, as he has been riding a stationary bicycle in order to make the weight limit. Vinny's final weight is 140 pounds even, which qualifies him for the fight. Instead of resting up for the fight, Vinny spends the night at a casino. The following day, he loses to Mayweather. At one point during the fight, Vinny is hit after the bell. His boxing manager Lou Duva causes a scene by going after Mayweather, but is punched as a result. Following the match, Duva tells the media that Vinny should retire from boxing. This angers Vinny's father Angelo (who serves as his coach), and he confronts Duva. In the ensuing argument, Vinny announces that he wants another fight, and hires Kevin Rooney as his coach..

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Richard RoeperMiles Teller gives the performance of his career as the indefatigable Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza, and writer-director Ben Younger delivers one of the best boxing movies of the decade in Bleed for This.
Cleveland Plain Dealer - 9/10 by Michael HeatonI respect director Ben Younger for going to the trouble of trying not to make a cookie-cutter boxing movie. Unfortunately, I think the film would have been better served by a more straightforward approach.
Seven Days - 9/10 by Rick KisonakTeller is a knockout. He nails the hometown hero's accent, fighting style and goofball charm.
The Patriot Ledger - 9/10 by Dana BarbutoEven though the outcome is no secret, you're still invested in Vinny every step and jab of the way.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Dan LybargerPaz's return to the ring is inherently inspiring, so writer-director Ben Younger is already off to a good start, but Younger adds some intriguing touches that give the film a feeling of authenticity that makes the Cinderella story seem less sappy.
Tampa Bay Times - 9/10 by Steve PersallBleed for This is a scrapper, with solid mechanics and a true story that would otherwise be dismissed as too incredible for a movie.
Silver Screen Riot - 9/10 by Matt OakesMay not be one that goes down in history as a boxing great but with a knockout performance from star Miles Teller and plenty of heart and good humor, it's enough of a contender to warrant ringside seats.
Gwinnett Daily Post (GA) - 9/10 by Khari J. SampsonIt's the quiet moments that hoist "Bleed for This" like a title belt. Simple but not that simple.
FilmDrunk - 8/10 by Vincent ManciniNo, we probably didn't need another biopic about a white boxer succeeding against all odds, but you could do a lot worse than this one.
Nerdist - 8/10 by Kristy PuchkoBleed for This will not be the drama that establishes Teller as a heavyweight in Hollywood. And that's a real shame for its true champ, Aaron Eckhart.
