Billy Boy

The worst boxing movie ever made. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth. Weird story. Heavyweight contender Duane Bobick boxed a few fights in South Africa with mixed results. He knocked out 250 pound Mike Schutte, but was knocked out himself by Kallie Knoetzee. Guess the loss didn't hurt his popularity. Bobick looked the part of a fighter with a battered face and squashed nose. He plays the part of Billy Boy. He wins 38 straight knockouts and gets to meet the champ who is a real sadistic freak. The champ's mother and him have a "strange" relationship and she seems to be sexually excited as she sits at ringside watching his fights. There's a brutal rape in the film of Bobick's on-screen girl-friend. The movie is grainy, the sound is unclear at times, and the acting is at the grade school level. Billy Boy is a Silly Boy.
