Summary

Uncover the story of the 'Real Rocky', Chuck Wepner, the man who went almost the full fifteen rounds with Ali in 1975 to inspire the Oscar-winning movie. A former New Jersey State Heavyweight Champion, Wepner took abuse from Sonny Liston, got his nose broken by Muhammad Ali, and inspired Sylvester Stallone to write 'Rocky,' which won three Academy Awards. Wepner was left out of the 'Rocky' glory, and his career took a strange turn as he worked to stay in the spotlight
