'Million Dollar Baby': Spoiler Alert!
RECEIVED Tue., March 1, 2005
Dear Editor,
In regards to Million Dollar Baby: If you have not seen this movie do not read this letter! I do not want to spoil the plot for anyone, but am I the only person in the world who has noticed this glaring inconsistency? By any boxing association standards in the world, WBA, WBC, whatever, this girl would have been awarded this fight victory. While laying paralyzed in the hospital she would have had the world championship belt, as some small consolation, to look at. I was very moved by this film and the deeper issues that are addressed beyond the boxing movie, but the girl won the fight, so give her the damn belt!
