            Some boxing movies can ultimately feel very familiar and stale because there are so many of them made nowadays, but when a film like Creed comes out, it makes you really appreciate a great boxing movie for what it is. Today, Sports Illustrated released the exclusive first trailer for Bleed for This based on the five-time world boxing champion Vinny Pazienza. Miles Teller plays Pazienza through his career-ending car accident and determination to make a comeback.

            The film looks promising to say the least; Teller is an enigma and a talent which was evident in films like Whiplash and The Spectacular Now but then you look at his last project Fantastic Four and it can make you skeptical. All I know is that I am excited for this movie, and I think it looks better than another boxing film to be released this year Hands of Stone starring Edgar Ramirez and Robert De Niro.

            Bleed for This opens in theaters on November 23^rd. It also stars Aaron Eckhart and Katey Sagal.
