The sports film version of that episode of Parks and Rec where Ron gets into a grill out contest and wins with a decisively glib, "Turkey can never beat cow. Sorry."

Toothless boxing satire takes pot shots at the widespread corruption in the industry (e.g. fixed fights) and the exploitation of racial tensions for profit by sleazy opportunistic promoters. Samuel L.Jackson is well cast as the Don King style promoter, and he has a few good lines, while Berg is likeable as the dopey white challenger. Even Wayans is alright as the arrogant champ, but their collective efforts are in vain because of Shelton's spec like script and Hudlin's lacklustre direction.

both hilarious and accurate, this scathing critique of boxing leaves no jaw un-punched - especially Don King's fat mug
