Smashing Machine was a good one. There is the weirdo guy from the DuPont family that killed that World class American wrestler. I think it was called something Catcher. They have one on the deaf kid Hammel.

Hidden in the mountainous republic of Dagestan, Gusein Magomaev runs a famed martial arts school that has produced several European champions, Olympians and the only non-Chinese king of Kung Fu.
Nurturing an array of talent, some 200 children train at the site that provides an escape for the region's disenfranchised youth.
But in a republic with a high concentration of Muslims, outside the school's thick walls a fierce battle for control of the Northern Caucasus is raging between Muslim separatists and the minority Moscow-backed nationalists.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed the importance of Dagestan for Russia - and if war breaks out there, it could have a domino-like effect on the whole region.
In Dagestan's Peaceful Warriors , we follow Gusein who has faced arson attacks and threats from politicians while trying to keep his students focused on the next Russian karate championship.

Cornered: A Life Caught in the Ring aka Assault in the Ring (2008)
On June 16, 1983, in front of a capacity crowd of 25,000 at Madison Square Garden, the lives of two young men were forever changed during a controversial boxing match. A tough club fighter from Puerto Rico named Luis Resto fought Billy Collins Jr., an Irish golden boy, for ten grueling rounds. Resto was declared the winner, but within minutes, was accused of tampering with the padding in his gloves - in effect brutalizing Collins Jr. with his bare fists for thirty minutes. More than two decades later, Luis Resto is still a broken man shouldering the burden of his opponent's death; a prison sentence; and a lifetime ban from boxing. Resto relives that infamous night in New York City and exposes the sport's dark side - unfolding an emotional story which finally reveals the truth.
