This slow-moving boxing drama stars Panamanian actor-salsa singer Ruben Blades as Andy "Kid" Clave, a crooner who takes to the ring when his gambling debts accumulate, battling his way to a title bout with Salvador Sanchez, the then real-life world featherweight champion who was killed in
an auto accident shortly after this film was shot. Former Oakland Raider and Kansas City Chief defensive back and one-time blaxploitation star Fred "The Hammer" Williamson is writer, director, and actor here.
