Determined to hold on to his son, Billy gets back into the ring to try and recapture his past success.

A little dated, and I definitely cringed at [spoiler]the parentification that the kid was forced into[/spoiler], but I really enjoyed seeing an example of a father/son bond that came from a place of love.
