Southpaw is a movie that was written by Kurt Sutter and Directed by Antonie Fuqua. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Billy Hope. This movie is about having everything that you want and then losing it all and trying to get it all back.
Billy is the World Lightweight Champion and is defending his title at Madison Square Garden. Billy grew up in an orphanage in Hell’s Kitchen. This is also where he met his wife Maureen (played by Rachel McAdams). After the fight Billy shows signs of taking too many punches. His wife convinces him that it is time to retire. At a charity event for the orphanage Billy is taunted by another boxer’ Miguel “Magic” Escobar that wants a shot at his title. When Miguel makes a rude comment to his wife, Billy gets mad and starts to walk towards Miguel, the whole time his wife is trying to get him to walk away but he does not and starts a fight with Miguel. During the fight Miguel’s brother Hector pulls out and gun and shoots Maureen in the stomach. She dies on the floor in Billy’s arms.
After the funeral Billy starts to abuse alcohol and drugs as he looks for the Hector. He gets a tip to where Hector might be, but when Billy shows up he learns that Hector is a father and walks away. After sometime he is encouraged to get back in the ring by his manager. During the fight Billy is taking a brutal beating. When the referee stops the fight Billy head butts the ref and is suspended leaving him indebted, leading to his house and all his belongings being repossessed. One night he is nearly killed while driving drunk. This causes him to lose custody of his daughter Leila, who is placed in CPS care.
Billy gets sober after this but his daughter begins to cut him out of her life blaming him for what has happened and telling him that it was Billy that should have died and not Maureen. This hurts Billy but helps him get his life back together. As court ordered he needs to get and keep a job, find suitable living arrangements. Billy takes a job at a seasoned boxer Titus “Tick” Wills gym as a janitor. Tick becomes Billy’s friend and eventually new trainer. As Billy starts to progress and learn and even teach other boxers to fight. He is offered a boxing matching for charity. Billy does well in the boxing match and with his former manager in the audience he is offered a shot at the title which is now held by Miguel. Billy asks Tick to help him but Tick refuses to train pro boxers anymore. After the death of one of the pupils from the gym Tick decides to help Billy get his daughter and career back.
Leila begins to let Billy back into her life and ask that she be able to watch the fight just like mom used to but Billy says that it is too violent and her mother would not approve. Leila keeps asking and finally Billy says yes but only from the locker room on TV. In the beginning of the fight Miguel has the upper hand winning the first couple of rounds easily. The middle rounds with Ticks help Billy starts to come back using the Philly Shell Defense. Which basically covers up the face protecting the head and allows for counter punches. In the final minutes of the final round Billy is able to land a powerfully upper cut that knocks Miguel down although he is able to beat the bell, Billy is declared the winner in a split decision and regaining the title and his daughter who forgives him for his past mistakes.

Keep reading to get the scoop on all of the new stuff coming to the small screen this year.

First up is Gotham. Set to air at 8 p.m Mondays (FOX ), right in front of the fantasy hit, “Sleepy Hollow. Gotham is an origin story of the great DC Comics super villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,” “Rome”), “Gotham” follows one cop’s rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time.

Next up on Tuesdays at 8 p.m.”The Flash,” (CW)  based on the popular DC Comics hero, focuses on Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), who after being struck by lightning, morphs into the fastest man alive. The character was introduced on “Arrow” earlier this season.

What appears to be decidedly darker and horrific on Fridays at  10 p.m. “CONSTANTINE” (NBC) Based on the wildly popular comic book series Hellblazer from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan, Criminal Minds) specializes in giving hell… hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight — or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he’s decided to leave his do-gooder life behind, but when demons target Liv (Lucy Griffiths, True Blood), the daughter of one of Constantine’s oldest friends, he’s reluctantly thrust back into the fray – and he’ll do whatever it takes to save her. Before long, it’s revealed that Liv’s “second sight” — an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences — is a threat to a mysterious new evil that’s rising in the shadows. Now it’s not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows… maybe there’s hope for him and his soul after all

Now we also have a couple upcoming shows scheduled for midseason debuts. On a very limited basis of 8 episodes we have “Agent Carter” (ABC) Marvel’s Agent Carter,” starring Captain America’s Hayley Atwell follows the story of Peggy Carter. It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life—Steve Rogers

Also debuting during the

midseason: “iZombie,” (CW) another DC-based series about Olivia “Liv” Moore (Rose McIver) was a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident who had her life path completely mapped out…until the night she attended a party that unexpectedly turned into a zombie feeding frenzy. As one of the newly undead, Liv is doing her best to blend in and look as human as possible. Her appearance now passes for “Goth,” with shockingly pale skin and nearly white hair, and her demeanor has gone from exuberant to exhausted. The change in Liv is baffling to her mother, her former fiance, Major, and her best friend and roommate, Peyton, who still has the high-energy, Type-A personality that Liv has completely abandoned. Despite her post-traumatic ennui, Liv has devised a way to resist her baser urges to devour fresh human brains – she’s taken a job in the Seattle coroner’s office. In this appropriately dead-end job, Liv can secretly snack on the brains of the many Jane and John Doe corpses that make a final stop in the morgue. Despite carefully covering her tracks, Liv’s boss, Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, discovers her secret and is surprisingly excited about the scientific possibilities. Even with her boss’ enthusiasm, Liv remains resigned to an eternity without hope or purpose, until she realizes that with every brain she consumes, she retains a portion of that person’s memories. Liv begins to experience visions from the point of view of the murder victims. Much to the surprise of Dr. Ravi and homicide detective Clive Babineaux, Liv often has detailed knowledge of crime scenes and motives that she can’t easily explain. Posing as a psychic, she works with Detective Babineaux to investigate these crimes and discover who is responsible. It’s not the same as being alive again, but at least Liv can find purpose in her undead existence by helping Clive solve the murders of those who are indeed fully dead.
