Recalling Sylvester Stallone's star-making turn in ROCKY, the boxing film FIGHTING TOMMY RILEY was written and stars J.P. Davis. Davis plays the title character, an amateur boxer who has a past full of troublesome behavior. However, his pure, raw talent draws the attention of washed-up old trainer Marty Goldberg (Eddie Jones), who sees in the young man a chance to return to the world of professional boxing. But the process proves less than easy, as Tommy's fiery nature and Marty's own past problems cause difficulties for the two men that may be impossible to overcome. Featuring solid acting and cinematography, FIGHTING TOMMY RILEY is an independent production that eschews many of the clichés of the sports genre.
