The Bleeder is a sports autobiography film that was released in 2012. Chuck Wepner is known in the boxing world as " The Bayonne Bleeder". He started his boxing debut in 1964 and was known as the underdog. Most of his fights were a loss by knockout, but he didn't give up. In 1975 he challenged Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title. When he fought him, he did the impossible and lasted 15 rounds against him. Though he lost the fight, it gave him notice in the sports world that he can hold his own. The fight was the inspiration of the movie Rocky, which made its debut the following year.
