Fred Williamson is a fighter trying to outwit the mob, having women throwing themselves at him (or throwing things at him as evidenced by the angry woman he's walking out on), and dealing with some pretty ruthless characters. The opening scene has him fighting one of the most vile looking street critters, and as he rises to the top of the prize fighting world, forced by the mob to take a dive.
The lovely Vonetta McKee is his extremely loyal girlfriend, threatened with violence if Williamson doesn't comply. While this was made before "Rocky", the viewer will recognize certain similarities especially the Burgess Meredith like Charles Lampkin. As the angry ex, Nawana Davis is funny without trying to be, sassy and forceful. Chase scenes are well shot and a scene where someone is shot up with drugs against their will is scary. My only issue is that I don't think this flowed very well, and overall, the story is rather unpleasant.
