David O. Russell's biographical flick The Fighter (2010) stars Mark Wahlberg as boxer "Irish" Micky Ward and Christian Bale as his half-brother Dicky Eklund, a proud pugilist-turned-trainer who's determined to take his bro to the top of the world. On the way to the light welterweight title, Marky romances the always amazing Amy Adams, who plays a former athlete and puts the "K.O." in knockout! Magnificent Melissa Leo may just steal the show, though, as Marky's tough-as-nails mama Alice Ward.
