MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. Rebecca Neuenswander, one to watch in future kick-ass movies. Would love to see a follow up co-starring Rebecca & Michelle Rodriguez. Underworld female Rocky with BALLS is the best way to describe this film. The fight scenes throughout were watchable without an over use of blood and bone crunching sound effects. Final fight realistic enough to make me watch again. Only bad thing is they could have delved further into Kat's past history. It is about time they made a film to rival all these macho men action stars with a great female lead and Rebecca is certainly that actress. I gave it 8/10 but it is closer to 9/10. Don't take my word, don't care just WATCH IT.

I refuse to believe,that a 135 lbs woman can beat a 325 lbs man(not just any man but a underground fighter)and win every single fight? How about this one,i would think,that as much as these heavy handed men weigh,if they were to land one punch,not 2 or 3 but ONE punch to her pretty little chin,she would be in coma for months! I mean ,it would have been a lot better if the girl was husky and had mass and was built but she was a scrawny skinny thing! I mean ,it would have been a lot better if the girl was husky and had mass and was built but she was a scrawny skinny thing! Next time,make a movie more realistic

Definitely better than 5.5 it has got now. definitely not among the finest action / sports movies ever made, but in summary i called it "Female Rocky" well watch it and decide whether i am wrong or not.It has got all a catchy story, whole lot of drama and pretty good action sequences but above all it has got good acting performances and screenplay which is definitely missing in recent action movies. performance of Chad Ortis and Rebecca Neuenswander is mind blowing and it is the face expressions that made it that good.Also hats off to Jonathan Dillon the director for completely capturing the situations perfectly and to Ian Shorr the writer for adding situational drama in the movie, it ended as an romantic movie after being a complete action drama but still no points should be deducted for that as it made the end feel good.summary of all above mentioned points it is 8/10 movie and one should not miss it. definitely watchable once or more

MILLION DOLLAR BABY is a pantywaist compared to RIGGED. As good as that acclaimed movie is, RIGGED is just as real and powerful as FIGHT CLUB. And Rebecca Neuenswander is a knockout. FIGHT NIGHT is about the underground boxing circuit...from Dalhart, Texas to Tulsa, Oklahoma and Kansas City, Missouri to Miami, Florida. Michael Dublin(Chad Ortis)is a full-time con man, a product of the circuit traveling from town to town with one scam to another. You have to get in line to get a piece of him...enemies outnumber his friends. Dublin comes across the best scam of his career when he meets Katherine Parker(Neuenswander), a female bare-knuckled fighter that possess more skills than any man twice her size. Dublin and Katherine hit the road with what he calls 'fight-rigging, in-reverse'. Every abandoned warehouse, country fair and seedy basement bar seems more and more like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Dublin's extra shady past was meant to catch up with him as the stakes get higher and danger is just a left jab away. Even the relationship between Katherine and 'Dub' travels to an unexpected place.Brutal violence and strong language star equally in this hard punching drama. Others in the cast: Kurt Hanover, David Alan Graf, DeeDee Arps and John Wilson.
