Tonight, ESPN's 30 for 30 "The Real Rocky" airs tonight at 8:00 pm est!
It's about Chuck Wepner (the man who inspired Stalone to do the Rocky movies). He was a liquor store salesman that went 15 rounds with Ali. Should be amazing! I love watching the inspirational 30 for 30's

I felt so sorry for Bartman! Did you watch the Marcus Dupree one? Such a sad story to see that much talent go to waste

Somewhat related. I remember watching this story on DeMarcus Ware I think last week about his wife, and his struggles with having children. Amazing what these people have gone through but remained positive. I couldn't even imagine dealing with what they have dealt with!
Was an E:60 story

This may be a shorter version, version I watched was at least 5 minutes or more.

I'll have to download it since it seems like it isn't on any of the channels I have. I'll also have to check out some of the ones you gentleman named.

true story about irish Billy Collins and his fight with Luis Resto, (who was later convicted of dipping his wraps in plaster of Paris and removing the padding from his gloves) Not an ESPN Film, but a must see..
