ill., br. Per Mike la boxe non è mai stata uno sport, o un divertimento. È stata questione di vita o di morte, in cui l'allenamento duro, spietato, e la rabbia segnavano la differenza tra un'esistenza misera, da sbandato, e l'esistenza punto e basta. Cresciuto praticamente senza padre, in un ambiente in cui gente che diceva di amarsi si spaccava la faccia a vicenda, terrorizzato in casa e fuori, era un bambino grassoccio, timidissimo, bersaglio degli scherni dei ragazzi più grandi, che lo chiamavano "Fatina". Si è definito spesso la pecora nera della famiglia, ma per tutta l'infanzia è stato docilissimo, sempre in cerca di riconoscimento e di calore. Il candidato ideale alla delinquenza di strada, e al carcere minorile, dove infatti finisce. Proprio il carcere, e non sarà l'unica volta della sua vita, lo salva. Bastava qualcuno che gli instillasse un grammo di speranza in corpo e sarebbe arrivato sulla luna. A vent'anni diventa il più giovane campione del mondo dei pesi massimi, una furia nera che incute paura sia dentro che fuori dal ring. Ma il successo è un cavallo imbizzarrito, che bisogna saper domare, altrimenti ti disarciona. E non sempre è facile se le sirene del passato ti chiamano, e l'uomo che ti ha insegnato tutto ti lascia solo troppo presto a cavalcare la belva che lui stesso ha alimentato. La stessa che ti rende imbattibile sul ring, e ingestibile fuori. Vittorie, soldi, fallimenti, donne, alcol, violenza, prigione, droga entrano ed escono dalla sua vita come un vortice.
