All the while, another, darker Rayone overwhelmed by depression, rage, drug addiction, sexual abuse, and greedbattled for dominance. In The Big Fight, Ray comes to terms with both these men and shares a brutally honest and remarkably inspiring portrait of the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of a true fighterinside and outside the ring.
