At 18, Diana has a chip on her shoulder; she's close to expulsion from high school for fighting, her mother is dead, her dad is surly, the popular girls at school set her teeth on edge, she knows men can cause pain. When she picks up her younger brother at a Brooklyn gym where he boxes to please his father, she decides she wants to train. Hector, a coach, reluctantly agrees to teach her. It's soon clear to him that Diana has talent; he pushes her.

I thought Seda's character's name was Romano Essagro but I might have beans in my ear when I made my notes.

I've got 6 films/TV episodes in my immediate to do list and Gladiator is one of them. Should have these cranked out in a few days.
