Plot summary
A hard-hitting look at the rise, fall and untimely death of one of boxing's most colorful champions. Hector Camacho's dynamic speed, footwork and power made him a fighter to be reckoned with, but it was his flamboyance and showmanship that ushered in a new era in boxing. The film chronicles his epic battles inside the ring, his struggles with addiction outside of it and the mystery of the double homicide that claimed his life. It's an unflinching portrait of a fighter who transcended the sport but ultimately couldn't defeat his own demons.

Great film, a must watch
A must-watch. Even my wife was glued to the screen.
I got into boxing in the early '90s, just as Camacho was getting out of his prime. I knew he was a legend but didn't know just how good he was. I was completely oblivious to his fascinating story.
Besides the fact that the substance of this documentary is so good, it's also well-done.
If you're a boxing fan, you must watch it. If you're not, you're still going to enjoy it a lot.
A Meteor
Hector Camacho was a larger than life character -- a boxer, but also a showman, an entertainer, a humanist, a loving family man, an electric personality who emerged on the scene like an uppercut to the jaw, and kept on sizzling until it all collapsed, just like a meteor hitting the atmosphere.
I was entranced watching this exceptional bio doc. Camacho's rise and fall are portrayed with honesty and empathy, never judgemental but always focused on the man -- the kid -- beneath the glitz and glamour, and the drugs and the thugs.
The ending, which I will not reveal, was like a punch to the gut; I didn't see it coming, and I doubt any other viewers will, either.
Heartily recommended, even if you have no interest in boxing.
