Girlfight

The main thing that separates male and female boxers is the hair and make-up team the woman's corner.

Mind up, the feminine prizefighter in this drama doesn't like to cover up her black eyes.

Troubled teenager Diana (Michelle Rodriguez) finds an outlet for her angry when she attends her brother's boxing lesson. But she is unable to afford a trainer until he decides to drops out and pursue art.

Eventually she forms a relationship with her sparring partner (Jaime Tirelli). But it is later jeopardized when they are set to fight one another, and he refuses to step into the ring.

The gritty Indy love story that put Michelle Rodriguez on the map, Girlfight is a balanced battle- of-the-sexes sports drama that confronts heavyweight issues, like poverty, abuse and suicide, with tact and artistry.

However, female boxing would be more popular if opponents didn't apologize to each other after every punch.
