Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher (2022)
Watchable.... But an historical mess
23 July 2022 - 15 out of 22 users found this review helpful.
It's well acted, well shot and the score is excellent but it's very confused as a historical account of early 19th century boxing.
The fight between Belcher and Pearce would not have been fought with gloves, nor would it have had timed rounds. It would have been fought under London prize ring rules since it was about 60 years away from the Marquis of Queensbury changing the game.
