James Salerno, Boxer is a hard hitting true story in the mold of a Greek tragedy, with the world of the fight game as its backdrop. It pulls no punches in describing Salerno's wars in the ring, his experiences with the women he encountered and the battles he fought with his personal demons. It also provides insight into the world of professional boxing. In addition, it examines the complex personality of a loving, sensitive white male who had the soul of a black fighter and became a rap performer known as Italian Ice after his days in the ring were over. He is recognized as the greatest boxer who never won a championship, and was inducted into the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame in June, 2014. James was murdered at the age of thirty eight, but he became a legend... and legends never die.
Justin Smith is an African-American male in his late 20's. He is a former college football player who earned his degree and established a small marketing business. He had an off and on relationship with a woman for several years and at one point provided her with fraudulent transcripts which she used to obtain a Bachelor's degree. During an argument, she hit him in the head with a baseball bat. He tried to escape by driving off in her vehicle. She hopped in the passenger seat and then inexplicably jumped out of the vehicle while it was still moving. He was later arrested on the charge of attempted murder and had to spend seven months in the Los Angeles County Jail. While incarcerated, he had to fight gang bangers in order to defend himself. His chance of acquittal was two out of a hundred, but thanks to the work of compassionate public defender Ann Haigwood, Justin was found not guilty. This is a true story. His trial took place in October, 2010. What happened to Justin could happen to anyone. It is a call for everyone to stop and think before they act, and hopefully avoid making choices that could ruin their lives.
