Cinderella Man

Starts of with Bull dog Braddock on his way to become the heavy weight champion of the world

Then Suffers from a Broken right hand and begins a losing streak that would span years

shortly after his massive defeat by Lewis the Great Depression began

After he had fought several times against some other up and comers only to down played

leads to the loss of his boxing licence

Is then works at the docks to support the family

Where he met on of his friends \

With the work there his left arm strengthens

At some point his wife had sent away  their children so they may be able to survive

Received much of their food from the Bread lines

In response James starts seeking money to get them back

Ends up at the last place many people would believe his old employer

 Then finds work back as a boxer and wins the first fight back

Breaking his losing streak

He discovers that one of his dear friends that he had met at the docks was in a Hoverville

His friend later dies, but would haunt James wife for times to come

When he reaches the match with Max Baer He discovers and is warned about him even mocked by him

When he leaves for the match his wife discovers at the church hundreds of people praying for him

She decides to visit him

 Finally the epic battle of James J. Braddock Vs. Max Baer

James J. Braddock wins
