Based on the truly interesting real story Fight Night; by: Jeff Keating ( i encourage everyone to Google it after watching the series } the series definitely has a great flow as it sets up its characters mainly focusing on streetwise hustler Gordon "Chicken Man" Williams portrayed by Kevin Hart in constant hustle mode while blending Muhammad Ali’s historic comeback fight after opting out of going to Vietnam. Definitely some good performances throughout the stand outs being Don Cheadle, Samuel L Jackson always turning in an unflinching performance. Terrence Howard playing an always smiling, slick wise cracking character to a T again.The casting of Dexter Darden as Muhammad Ali feels more like a parody or a last minute choice of a casting director saying: Well he doesn't have the right build or really the look but at least he can deliver some of Ali's mannerisms
I did find it funny that a character used a move i use to win a celebrity over whenever i meet one. I appreciated the lovely eye candy including Lori Harvey,Chloe Bailey,Teresa Celeste and Taraji P Henson.
I could see them wrapping this up in 5 episodes but they are going for 8 so let's see how it goes.
