After spending his life trying to get off the streets of LA, ex-Golden Gloves champ B.J. Hammer (Williamson) has finally earned his shot at boxing's big time. But the mob delivers Hammer a heavy blow when they kidnap his girlfriend and order him to throw the main event. Now, facing the biggest, baddest bout of his career, B.J. must give up his dream of becoming a legit player ... or risk losing the only person who's ever truly been in his corner!
