Verdict on The Final Round – Round 16

Recap

This documentary traces the journey of Robert W Lee, from his humble beginnings marked by racial challenges, to his rise as one of the brightest students, and eventually, the co-founder of the International Boxing Federation. It delves into the challenging world of sports where he faced corruption allegations, yet continues to uphold his claim of innocence.

Best Parts

As a fervent admirer, I’d say this film offers a chilling insight into the swift climb to power and the relentless attempts to undermine those in lofty positions. It exposes the rot within the establishment, revealing how effortlessly authority can manipulate the masses. On the grim underbelly of this production, we witness persisting racial bias in the professional arena – a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those seeking change in the boxing world. This documentary is a powerful testament to one’s courage in challenging the status quo and striving for a fairer system that safeguards the interests of boxers.

Worst Parts

In this documentary, we are provided with the fundamental details and the backstory of Robert W Lee’s life events. Although the narrative is significant, it seems incomplete when it comes to illustrating his true impact on transforming the sport. It would have been captivating to witness more individuals expressing their admiration for him, but instead, we mainly get his personal account with a handful of brief interviews.

Final Thoughts –The Final Round – Round 16 shows how important Robert W Lee is to modern boxing.
