We are in USA in the 90’s. We are gonna tell you the incredible story of the boxer Vinny Pazienza.
In November 1991 he was a two-time light middleweight champion of the world, preparing for his next fight.
Pazienza, known as Paz, was a passenger in a car struck head-on after veering into the opposite lane near his home in Warwick, Rhode Island. Paz suffered two broken and one dislocated vertebrae high along his spinal column.
His doctors said Paz would never fight again.
But 13 months later, he was back in the ring, and he not only defeated the Dominican Republic’s Luis Santana in a 10-round unanimous decision but also would continue fighting for the next 13 years, winning multiple championship belts.
In 2016 Hollywood make a movie about him called BLEED FOR THIS, and the staff were afraid viewers wouldn’t believe Paz’s resilience. In a recent appearance the actor Miles Teller said: “Vinny actually started working out five days after breaking his neck. We didn’t think that was believable, so in our movie it makes it seem like it happened a month later.”
