Notable Quotes
Cam: I can't take another round, Coach. Man was not meant to box a crocodile!

Critical Reception
"Boxing In Velour has taken the prestigious Sunshine Film Critics Award for Most Realistic Melee With A Quadruped. Immedately after, however, the association who founded the award was shut down after 'un-American' activities were suspected in their praise of the film Robber Baron Uncle Sam And The Blood Of The Proletariat (1950)."
