Curiosidades
In an interview with Robert Osborne for Turner Classic Movies, Mickey Rooney related that he didn't get along with the director Roy Rowland. One time on the set, Rowland yelled "Cut!" and proceeded to yell at Rooney in front of the cast and crew, concluding "I'm leaving!" Rooney was so incensed that he took hold of Rowland and said "No! I'm leaving" and then went home.

In the seventh round of his fight against Patsy Cigones (Larry Cisneros), Tommy McCoy (Mickey Rooney) is actually held up by the referee to prevent him from falling after he takes a strong hit from his opponent. This happens after the bell at the end of the round as the referee is helping Tommy to his corner which is not unreasonable.

Citações
Brian McCoy: Aw, Tommy, this'll be a lesson to me. I'll never do it again. I give you my sacred word of honor.
Tommy McCoy: This is the payoff. We signed for Dominic and we have to draw Johnny Martin. And now you have to blow a good part of the purse we haven't even got yet. I ought to let you take the rap for this.
Brian McCoy: Aw, but you wouldn't do that, your own father?
Happy: Six hundred for what? You can bury him for fifty.

Weak remake of 1938's "The Crowd Roars"

While there are some minor differences, the script of this film is virtually identical to the original and none of the character names of central plot lines are altered. In general, the original is a much stronger film. Somehow I just cannot believe Mickey Rooney as a light heavy weight. Had they dropped the weight class to middle weight of super middle weight it would have been easier to believe. Worse, for all of Mickey's abilities as a dancer, singer, and actor, he just does not look like boxer -- his posture and his swings are all wrong.

For all that Mickey carries off the balance of the film exceptionally well. He was a superb actor. Is failings in ring could simply be that work methods of the time did not allow for the type of pre-shooting training that goes on these days.

In one respect, this film is superior to the original. In the 8th round of the final round director Roy Rowland constructs a wonderful montage showing off the audience's blood lust and involvement in the fight. It is electrifying and far superior to any similar scene by the more workman-like Richard Thorpe.

The 30's and 40's produced some stunning boxing films. This film is not one of them.
