B.J. reluctantly agrees– he knows Sid’s outfit is shady, but he intends to perform the most of it. Mel Stewart is the Professor, who trains B.J. We learn that the Prof was a boxer as well- and Sid was his manager– but fell on hard times, thanks in fraction to Sid’s shadiness. William Smith is Brenner, Sid’s chief enforcer. Vonetta McGee is Lois, Sid’s secretary- She really likes B.J., and doesn’t want to notice him gain harm. Bernie Hamilton (who went on to play Capt. Dobey on TV’s “Starsky & Hutch”) is Det. Davis, a cop out to bust Sid’s operation, who offers honorable warnings to B.J. about getting in too deep. The area follows a positive formula, and is given a black-culture twist: Sid sets up B.J. to fight palookas, and as B.J. starts rising in the boxing ranks– and making decent money– many in his old-fashioned ‘hood inaugurate accusing him of being a sellout; even his venerable pool-hall buddies turn their assist on him; separate confrontations with a militant and a hooker are among the more silly asides in the film.
The film’s climax is dwelling up when Sid’s Mob overseers determine that B.J. will hold a plunge in his next bout– the place heavyweight championship against Irish Joe Brady. The Professor won’t co-sign on the con, and he gets a fatal beating for his trouble– on top of that, Lois is kidnapped, to force B.J. to cooperate. B.J. then decides that all bets are off, and he decides to catch the fight, and then takes the fight to Brenner & his goons.

How ironic! Fred “The Hammer” Williamson plays Hammer! Since I’m the first reviewing this, I guess I’m obligated to give you the spot. Hammer gets a job boxing for the mob. There he meets Lois, and like Tears For Fears, he’s Head Over Heels and not long after that he Sowing His Seeds Of Esteem. Soon the head honcho is wanting Hammer to pick a plunge in the ring, and do you really believe Hammer’s gonna do this? As an incentive they kidnap the woman he loves. This leads to the final showdown! I wanted to like this more than I did. It’s not poor by any means, but it’s not dramatic enough for you to really care about anyone, and there’s not enough action to carry the film as a cheap action flick either. It’s impartial kinda stuck in a so-so kind of location. Williamson is cold and badass as usual. He’s always worth watching. Supporting cast is nothing to brag about though B movie tough guy William Smith is chilly as a mob henchman. He’s kinda underused though. Recommended if you’re into the blaxploitation genre, are a Williamson fan, and can obtain it cheap.
