Best Movies About Boxing on Netflix Right Now – Sports films come and go in waves, but one sport, boxing, never dies in the cinema. Boxing films are continually growing and getting better with time. Consider the moment when everything began with the Rocky Balboa films. After a few years, you have films like Creed and Southpaw. Most of us watch these movies because of the intense portrayal of the characters’ sacrifices, their growth of mental and physical strength over the course of the film, and, most importantly, those extreme and grueling training scenes that show the true potential of human ability with some heavy bass music playing in the background.

Why do you think “Eye of the Tiger” gets you pumped up for a workout? It’s a great song, but we link it with Sylvester Stallone practicing, and that’s enough to get us all fired up. Some people can never understand the hardships of a person who is dedicated to his or her sport, and they may even think that fighting and being punched for money is a ridiculous idea. But for those who understand the importance of discipline and regaining one’s lost respect, we’ve compiled a list of really fantastic boxing movies on Netflix that are currently accessible for streaming.
