Fight Night

A con man (Chad Ortis) finds the ultimate prizefighter in a tough, hard-hitting and beautiful woman (martial-arts champion Rebecca Neuenswander), whom he enters into illegal underground brawls. Kurt Hanover, G. Love. Directed by Jonathan Dillon. Also known as “Rigged.”, A man on the run discovers the greatest fighter he’s ever seen in this road movie filled with comedy, action and drama Michael (Chad Ortis) is a small time con artist who drifts from one town to another, trying to run his next scan while escaping the fallout from the last. Michael’s specialty is setting up illegal underground boxing matches where a pair of bare-knuckled fighters square off and Michael runs off with most of the gate money. While on the road, Michael meets Katherine (Rebecca Neuenswander), and when he sees her fight he’s convinced his ship has come in. Katherine is a beautiful woman who also had remarkable talent in the ring and can knock out a man nearly twice her size; with Katherine, Michael is convinced he’ll never have to fix a fight again, because no one would believe that she could win a fair fight until they’ve actually seen her in action. Michael persuades Katherine to take him on as her manager, but while victory is sweet for a while, it doesn’t take long for his old enemies to catch up with him, and soon Michael and Katherine have to deal with Clark (Kurt Hanover), an underground fight promoter who has a score to settle with Michael. Rigged is the first feature film from director Jonathan M. Dillon.
