Seconds Out(1981)

Seconds Out is a British boxing drama following Pete Dodds, a talented but undisciplined fighter who clowns around in the ring despite genuine promise. When ambitious manager Tony Sprake takes him under his wing and pairs him with no-nonsense trainer Dave Locket, Dodds must decide whether he's willing to harness his natural ability and commit to the sport. The series explores the gritty world of professional boxing through the eyes of a fighter torn between his street-smart charm and the discipline required to succeed at the highest level.
