| Women's boxing takes center stage in HONEYBEE and THE OPPONENT HONEYBEE: A young black woman drops out of college against her father's wishes to pursue a career as a professional boxer. THE OPPONENT: Patty Sullivan (Erika Eleniak) is a beautiful woman trapped in an abusive relationship and a hopeless existence, until she stumbles into the women's world of pro boxing. With the help of her coach (James Colby), some raw anger--and her untapped talent--she dives into a rigorous training program and sets her sights on her first professional bout. But with the women's title on the line and her heart on the ropes, Patty is fighting for something far more important than a championship...she's fighting for her independence. |
