New Fighting Images from the Movie Fighting

In case you were wondering, Channing Tatum’s new movie “Fighting” is about fighting. I know it’s a little hard to figure out by the title and all, but yeah, this is actually an action movie about a small-town guy who goes to the big city and ends up in illegal street fighting for money. It is NOT about guys with AIDS in New York living together as roommates, just so we’re clear. Hey, you gotta pay those bills. Some people deliver pizzas, others deliver bloody beatings to the face with their fists. Who are we to say which path is right and which is wrong? Exactly. New battling images from “Fighting” after the jump.
Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur (Channing Tatum) has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) sees that he has a natural talent for streetfighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership. As Shawn’s manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit
, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he’s found himself, he must now face the toughest fight of his life.

Starring Channing Tatum, Terrence Howard, Luis Guzmán, Brian J. White, Flaco Navaja, Zulay Henao, and directed by Dito Montiel.
