Along with Barbara Kopple's FALLEN CHAMP: THE UNTOLD STORY OF MIKE TYSON, which is not just one of the best boxing docs but one of the most incisive and insightful films I've ever seen on rape, this one of a number of television journalism pieces of the era that outclasses just about anything else on the sport since. Great interviews skillfully put together and some incredible footage of Liston, nearly all of it available nowhere else.
