Little Mac, an Under-age street fighter from Bronx NY, was a small but courageous derelict. Weighing a mere 107 pounds his best and possibly only option against the comically oversized opponents was to jump and throw uppercuts. Doc Louis was a heavy-weight puncher in the heavy-weight division, but began drinking and ended up in poverty. After a chance encounter and seeing Mac fighting on a street corner, Doc was enamored with the fighting spirit in the kid and decided to make him a boxer.
The road to the title was riddled with contenders from across the world. Paris France, Berlin Germany, Tokyo Japan, Madrid Spain, Hippo Island, Bombay India, Istanbul Turkey, the list goes on. Making it to the top was not easy. the World Champion Mike Tyson a.k.a. Kid Dynamite was waiting. In the end even the undefeated World Heavyweight Champion would be beaten.
