The narrative is set early on in the video, with the actor’s voice laying the premise. From old school, western outlaws to Roman Gladiators, and Pirates, and then anime, the themes are overflowing in the short clipping.

However, that has not stopped fans and big names in the boxing realm from chiming in with their bits.
