For me, it was very important to be part of a boxing film that actually explores the psychological aspects of the sport, more than just the physical aspects.

But I maintain that in such a case an action of this kind, however proper, however amiable it may be, has nevertheless no true moral worth, but is on a level with other inclinations. . . . For the maxim lacks the moral import, namely, that such actions be done from duty, not from inclination.
