Split Decision
by Kevin Heelan
Synopsis
This prize fighting drama about a once great Black fighter who has to face four more bouts to achieve post retirement security packs a knockout punch.
He is caught in a tug of war between his manager trainer and his corner man.
The manager has an eye on the retirement stake, while the other wants to use him as a psychological talisman for a young fighter he wants to manager.
The fighter only wants to fade gracefully away.

— Philadelphia Daily News
"A prizefight yarn that packs a wallop . . . a clear winner."
