People, leave Usher alone. I saw the movie last night and it was great and Usher did a good job with his role. FYI Sugar ray actually did thay windmill fake in the real fight.
I understand, but even as far as the early 1990s, boxing movies were already considered out. It has to be one heck of a film, like, say, Million Dollar Baby.
Roberto Duran the man with a hands of stone one of my sporting heroes growing up. Bring back memories of the great 80's golden era of boxing there was Marvin "marvelous" Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas "Hit man" Hearns, Winfred Benitez and of course the man which the hand of stone Roberto Duran what a boxing era. What we have now is a joke compared to that era.
Living in Panama for 8 years, loving the country as it is, watching a movie with Edgar Ramirez, De Niro, places what I know, history which is not known by lot of people in the world makes me a goosebump. This movie a great one. I don't mind about correctness of boxing. I see the Panamanian aim of the "hunger"
+The Boxer No estoy de acuerdo amigo, parecerse a un famoso no tiene ningún mérito, destacarse en un medio lleno de norteamericanos si . le aconsejo ver otras películas de Edgar. saludos desde México.
I am 28 years old i never heard about Duran....after watching this movie accidentally in a Greek channel and reading in Google about him...i feel like i learned a big piece of boxing history and i feel blessed i learned about him
No, it won't. However, be on the lookout for Reg E. Cathey (House of Card), he does Don King to the "T", just excellent. Usher does not look like Leonard, Rubén Blades has been miscast; he has not studied the way Carlos Eleta (the promoter) was. He is just acting like Rubén Blades.
just finised watching this movie. it was great. duran is truly a boxing legend and one of the best. as far as historical Latino boxers there were aslo salvador sanchez, alexis argüello and julio cesar chavez.
I like that they try to get the Latin lover image out there, although he was quite aggressive romanticly (in contrast to say Rocky), but it was distracting that the actor looked facial like Victor Ortiz and though athletic rangier than Duran and Ortiz who are sawed off tree stumps. Don't get me wrong, that's part of why both could bring it against skinnier fighters. Half the battle is casting and too often that director is too nonchalant when casting for famous people. An unpopular opinion but Usher pretty much captured Sugar Ray.
No wonder the movie wasn't popular the essence of Duran's greatness was inside the ring...you can't capture that with an actor who isn't even a good amateur boxer..surely an actor could have played the part who was also a good boxer
I've watched Hands Of Stone and was not disappointed at all. I've also watched Bleed For This witch is a story of Vinnie Pazienza fighting Roberto Duran. The only thing i am wondering is why aren't the same people act in the both movies witch are really similar. It could've been more interesting to watch and as a story. I hate when people does not think twice before they make two movies witch could be made as one in two parts.
Look at this, everyone - R de Niro is playing the mentor of a boxer who is about to square off with Sugar Ray, who defeated Jake LaMotta as played by R de Niro himself in Raging Bull. He's come full circle!
This is Sugar Ray Leonard. The one Jake LaMotta fought was Sugar Ray Robinson. Sugar Ray Leonard took the start of his name from Robinson (who is also one of the best to ever do it) and learnt from his fighting style. They are two completely different people in comeplety different eras. How old did you think Sugar Ray Robinson was if he was fighting back in the 40s and 50s? 😂 Leonard vs Duran 1 was in 1980! I hope you don't take too much offence from my comment I just wanted to point out your mistake and correct it.
If such thing as sequel is possible, here's the list of movies that should come up next: - Sugar (Leonard vs. Hearns) - Hands of Stones 2 (Duran vs. Barkley)
Leonard lost the first fight won the second and the third fight was a boring clutch feast the Sugar Ray won. That was a golden ages of Middle Weight boxing when you had those 2 Hagler, Herns all boxing at the same time!
Saw today. The actor totally looks like fighter Victor Ortiz of the infamous Mayweather s sucker punch fight. Different body types (actor lean, both Ortiz and Duran stocky), but almost facial like Ortiz to the point of being a distraction.
Reasons I watched this movie and was disappointed. The trailer made it seem like Sugar Ray was his main competitor. The directors make the main character Roberto Duran basically the Antagonist in a way throughout the whole movie. He insults Sugar Ray before the fight and his wife which you don't see the "protagonist" do in too many boxing movies if any. He fights sugar ray 2 times and wins the first match and loses the second match which during the fight you knew he would lose, Roberto Duran lost his second fight by refusing to fight and giving up near the end of the match. Also this whole movie was mostly in Spanish, well all the important parts anyway. All the arguing between him and his wife and his hometown communicating and conversations were mostly all in Spanish so it was hard to understand most of the plot of the movie or the in depth of it anyway. Also, the directors brought up ideas in the movie but didn't really get that in depth with, like Robert De Niro's character had a daughter he couldn't take care of when he was younger but they barely address her in the movie and try and make her a big deal but really she had very little insignificance in the movie. They maybe showed her in 2 or 3 scenes and to watch the fight at the end but that was it. The decision making in this movie between things were very fast and that doesn't make for a good movie. For example at the end Robert De Niro at first told his fighter Roberto he wouldn't train him he's too old then for a split second his wife convinces him otherwise and right away jumps back into it. This movie in my opinion started decent but ended up being boring and disappointing and the trailer was very deceiving with the protagonist and antagonist and the African American ✌️️Antagonist✌️️wasn't really an antagonist at all but really acted like a protagonist and was real nice and supportive of Roberto mostly. Lastly at the end of the movie, they didn't really announce or go in depth with Roberto's last fighter. Didn't announce his name I don't think and made it fast paced and boring. Like a 5-6 last minute fight and started getting his ass kicked and then very expected last few hits but wasn't intense or anything or on the ropes nerve racking like any Rocky movie. Worst boxing movie in my opinion I've ever seen.
It's hard to cheer on the protagonist when he acts as an antagonist most of the movie. Viewers and fans want the heros and good ones to win not when the main character is unappreciative of his trainer for some of the movie and is disrespectful.
Duran was cocky AZZ shit in this movie ,he came from nothing to world champion only becuz he got in ray leanoard head but the second fight leanond got in his!!! a good movie I'll give it a 7 1/2 !!!
The real story is already on TH-cam, the fights, the commentary, the analysis . You don't need this lame hollyweird bullshit. Robert Dinero has already been in one boxing film with laughably stupid fight scenes, you'd think he'd learned his lesson
Decent film. Fight scenes were excellently choreographed. I was hoping my two young sons would enjoy the film. I watched it first, just to be sure. Im glad i did, because there were a few moderate sex scenes, which were unnecessary. Im no prude, but they were not essential to the story, and definitely not for children. As i said, decent film, and i would recommend it, but i thought it ended abruptly without completing the full story.
DeNiro ever the investigator misses Ray Arcels genius moment before 1st Fight. During instructions He stood between both Fighters and answered for Duran. As If Duran was too crazy to get near Leonard. A small important move.
The Rocky Marciano story comes out next year I believe. Can't wait to see and own both movies. As a kid I watched the Duran fights with my father, the man is a living legend. Damn he hit hard.
Oh c'mon hollywood!! instead of only duran vs leonard y'all better make movie (or trilogy) about 80s fab 4 rivalry - hagler hearns duran leonard. They all fought each other nobody ducking and boxing bs politic dont get in the way of their rivalry
People, leave Usher alone. I saw the movie last night and it was great and Usher did a good job with his role. FYI Sugar ray actually did thay windmill fake in the real fight.
Dude Usher nailed that part, the smile, the way he moved, I don’t know who else you’d get to play him.
I dont get it how this movie have failed at box office, it seems to be a great movie
Zoran Ramzo Kamenycky it's really not though, you will see when you watch it this movie wasn't made that well
The actor playing Duran can't even pretend to be a good boxer
Take a look a CREED .That was a great movie suspense in the ring...Andre Ward is in it far better than Hands of Stone
That guy really looks a lot like Sugar Ray though.
I understand, but even as far as the early 1990s, boxing movies were already considered out. It has to be one heck of a film, like, say, Million Dollar Baby.
Maybe it's the trailer, mixing scenes but Sugar win the second fight not the first
This makes it look like Duran lost the first fight and then got redemption, he won the first fight and then that bs happened in the rematch, smh
That's the same thing I thought! It's historically wrong. Hopefully they really didn't make that mistake.
This scenario makes it look better
We haven't seen the movie. Maybe it was a dream that he lost the first fight with Leonard.
Its still a movie people. Of course it will have the hollywood touch . Just shut up and enjoy this great art of masterpiece
Lol "That bs" the dude gave up and couldn't take it. This movie is the only, "BS"
Roberto Duran the man with a hands of stone one of my sporting heroes growing up. Bring back memories of the great 80's golden era of boxing there was Marvin "marvelous" Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas "Hit man" Hearns, Winfred Benitez and of course the man which the hand of stone Roberto Duran what a boxing era. What we have now is a joke compared to that era.
But the characters of Marvin and Tommy were not in the movie.
ok boomer
Living in Panama for 8 years, loving the country as it is, watching a movie with Edgar Ramirez, De Niro, places what I know, history which is not known by lot of people in the world makes me a goosebump. This movie a great one. I don't mind about correctness of boxing. I see the Panamanian aim of the "hunger"
Roberto Duran one of the greatest.my idol and one of my inspriration.
Manny Pacquiao you can relate fighting on the streets
This is such a good movie. The feels.
"They made the ring bigger so he can run from me " I fucking died 😂😂
DOOMSDAY damn good line
Why they did do that for ray and the rematch was also in his state as well fuck.
The first time I ever saw Roberto Duran fight in 1975, I was in complete awe! The "Hands of Stone" will always be A Legend in my eyes!
1:58 - Rocky Balboa
I'll always gladly watch a de niro or stallone boxing movie.Cant wait.
Wanna see this ASAP!!!
Watched this, Usher as Sugar Ray's really good even though just a minor character. He should get a big role with a decent drama plot.
Edgar Ramírez un gran actor, espero que después de esta película reconozcan su talento. Orgullo latino !!!
Gran actor? Es un actor pero no un gran actor. Además no se parece a Durán.
+The Boxer No estoy de acuerdo amigo, parecerse a un famoso no tiene ningún mérito, destacarse en un medio lleno de norteamericanos si . le aconsejo ver otras películas de Edgar. saludos desde México.
Carlos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should watch the 4 Kings. It's the best 4 hours you'll invest.
Bigndeal
Just saw it .Amazing movie .
the world needs a Hollywood Paqiao movie, thumbs up if you agree.
wow.... looking like its going to be epic...
No, it won't. However, be on the lookout for Reg E. Cathey (House of Card), he does Don King to the "T", just excellent. Usher does not look like Leonard, Rubén Blades has been miscast; he has not studied the way Carlos Eleta (the promoter) was. He is just acting like Rubén Blades.
just finised watching this movie. it was great. duran is truly a boxing legend and one of the best. as far as historical Latino boxers there were aslo salvador sanchez, alexis argüello and julio cesar chavez.
This trailer was infinitely better than the film.
You hating
BEST MOVIE EVER, THE BEST !!
he's my family and an amazing boxer anyone who says otherwise obviously hasn't watched boxing enough.
Who is he to you?
Roberto Durán?
My uncle
@@Pbskidsuksure keep dreaming
Was he’s dad Mexican?
i looked at this trailer cause i thought it was robert Downey junior lol
Buena pelicula acabo de verla ,la clase de Ray me contraria pero ya me estoy recuperando y empiezo a admirarlo.
Movie/trailer's inaccurate first Duran beat Leonard than Sugar Ray won the 2nd.
This movie was good! haha
Awsome movie👊👍
"ROBERTO, DURAN" THE MEXICAN/PANAMANIAN BOXER! VIVA LA RAZA!
Q chucha tenía d mexicano pelao? Ese man es un Panameño a lo 💯
Julian Baranyi Nicholls su papá era mexicano
Excelente Edgar Ramirez orgullo venezolano
Es venezolano? Pense que era Cubano, bien por Venezuela.
Sorry bro, but he does not remotely look like Roberto Durán.
The Boxer So true!!!!
I like that they try to get the Latin lover image out there, although he was quite aggressive romanticly (in contrast to say Rocky), but it was distracting that the actor looked facial like Victor Ortiz and though athletic rangier than Duran and Ortiz who are sawed off tree stumps.

I loved this movie
Who asked??
this movie needs to be rate at least 7.5 on IMDB
What an inspiring movie!
Who else here from joe budden podcast 😂😭
IM DEAD THATS CRAZY!!
What did he say?
YOU KNOW IT!!!!!!!
Shit dawg when he said all his life he’d been hungry, that’s tough
No wonder the movie wasn't popular the essence of Duran's greatness was inside the ring...you can't capture that with an actor who isn't even a good amateur boxer..surely an actor could have played the part who was also a good boxer
I wish somebody would change my life in 66seconds.
How did I miss this
Edgar ramirez looks like the Latin version of jake gyllenhaal
Can't wait
Usher 4 best supporting actor Oscar mark my words!! 😎👊
Loved this movie! ❤️🥊
Casting Usher Raymond as Sugar Ray is Genius 🏆
I've watched Hands Of Stone and was not disappointed at all. I've also watched Bleed For This witch is a story of Vinnie Pazienza fighting Roberto Duran. The only thing i am wondering is why aren't the same people act in the both movies witch are really similar. It could've been more interesting to watch and as a story. I hate when people does not think twice before they make two movies witch could be made as one in two parts.
Do you practice Witchcraft?
If they decide to do another Duran movie, they’re getting Pedro Pascal..CALLING IT NOW
YESSIRRRR
can someone please tell me what the song is at 1:20

Epic!
Not only a sports and entertainment movie a bit of History lesson in destabilizing South American countries
please make a movie of Alexis arguello a true warrior who gave his all for his country
The internet trolls are unreal.
Checked the cast and realised the characters of Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler were not in movie. This is like driving a car on road without tyres.
this will follow duran to his early years leading to leonard 1 and 2 and then his comeback... im ready to see this
MAN, IF THEY CAN CREATE BERTO'S LIFE STORY, I'M THEY CAN DO IT FOR PACMAN
they were filming some of this at the boxing gym i go to Decatur Boxing Club
If such thing as sequel is possible, here's the list of movies that should come up next:
- Sugar (Leonard vs. Hearns)
- Hands of Stones 2 (Duran vs. Barkley)
I'd like to see a Marvin Hagler movie.
Wonderful 😂😂😂😂
Why did I never even hear about this movie?
looks like this is one baaad hombre
I'm confused, is it a sugar ray leonard movie or Roberto Duran movie, or both.
Leonard lost the first fight won the second and the third fight was a boring clutch feast the Sugar Ray won. That was a golden ages of Middle Weight boxing when you had those 2 Hagler, Herns all boxing at the same time!
Saw today. The actor totally looks like fighter Victor Ortiz of the infamous Mayweather s sucker punch fight. Different body types (actor lean, both Ortiz and Duran stocky), but almost facial like Ortiz to the point of being a distraction.
Ni un solo panameno residente en los Estados Unidos se puede perder esta pelicula! Esto va a ser un exito de taquilla. Grande Duran!!
Damn they Usher look just Sugar Ray. He should play him in a biopic of himself.
Reasons I watched this movie and was disappointed. The trailer made it seem like Sugar Ray was his main competitor.

Vince J you are talking shit.The movie was excellent,that was the kind of man roberto was he was cocky like mayweather or conor mcgregor
Rsalazar913 im comparing there personality not there talent they are both cocky and have a great will to win. Roberto was a legend a god of boxing.
What's up with Miles Teller and car crashes? Brilliant actor. Hope he does great in this. He deserves it all.
Lately theres 2 legends in this movie roberto and ray charles
Joe Budden podcast brought me here
The movie got it wrong 😆
ROBERTO DURAN FOREVER THE BEST BOXER IN THE WORLD

Duran was cocky AZZ shit in this movie ,he came from nothing to world champion only becuz he got in ray leanoard head but the second fight leanond got in his!!! a good movie I'll give it a 7 1/2 !!!
There's a Duran movie with Usher playing SRL??? 😂😂😂😂😂
Why are they portraying this as Duran losing to Sugar in their first fight,but winning the second?? That isnt how it went down..
The real story is already on TH-cam, the fights, the commentary, the analysis . You don't need this lame hollyweird bullshit. Robert Dinero has already been in one boxing film with laughably stupid fight scenes, you'd think he'd learned his lesson
Omg usher!
Decent film. Fight scenes were excellently choreographed.

What?!? When and hmmm!???

δεν λεει και πολλα η ταινια.αν καποιος δεν την ειδε δεν εχασε τιποτα

Fuck theres not one single ugly women in these movie, they're all dolls. Beautiful goddess
Baita trailher
DeNiro ever the investigator misses Ray Arcels genius moment before 1st Fight. During instructions He stood between both Fighters and answered for Duran. As If Duran was too crazy to get near Leonard. A small important move.
I refuse to patronize anything with DeNiro in it!
Three true life stories boxing movies
And still not enough 😀
The Rocky Marciano story comes out next year I believe. Can't wait to see and own both movies. As a kid I watched the Duran fights with my father, the man is a living legend. Damn he hit hard.
I want to see floyd mayweather vs manny pacquiao movie😅
Is that Lexi Belle?
edgar se parece rocky (me agrada)
Anna de armas is freakishly hot and cute
Oh c'mon hollywood!! instead of only duran vs leonard y'all better make movie (or trilogy) about 80s fab 4 rivalry - hagler hearns duran leonard. They all fought each other nobody ducking and boxing bs politic dont get in the way of their rivalry
Bleed for this, southpaw, creed>hands of stone.
