The first selection from Phil Rogers for his Desert Island Fights was the 1982 Ring magazine Fight of the Year. This was the fourth time that Bobby Chacon and Bazooka Limon had met and they produced a breathtaking, brutal classic.

Ida Lupino and Humphrey Bogart, with Zero the dog, in “High Sierra” (1941)
This adds another layer when considering the 1956 movie adaptation actually cast Max Baer for the role.
On the Google doc, I’ve linked to two podcasts about the movie: my visit to @ifwtpod.bsky.social as well as the Boxing Movie Podcast @mrstevehunt.bsky.social episode on the movie.

You are always a great guest, Andrew.
THE FIGHTER (1952) is based on Jack London's 1911 short story "The Mexican.
It weaves together two of London's passions: boxing and revolution. The protagonist volunteers for the Revolution, then secretly goes out to prize-fight -- buying rifles with his winnings.
A thread 🧵
Richard Conte's performance in The Fighter (1952). Stoic or wooden? @andrewrihn.bsky.social joins me on the latest episode of the Boxing Movie Podcast to discuss this adaptation of a Jack London short story. #boxing #moviesky #filmsky
Easily the second-best boxing movie named THE FIGHTER out there.
This is Jack London, not Micky Ward.
