A Gap Between Our Hearts — Episode 52

In the middleweight division, Los Angeles's Mexican-American champion Elian Cruz and Miami's Cuban-American challenger Julian Valdes have been bitter rivals for three years — two meetings, one win apiece. Their third bout is hyped by the media as the "Fight of the Century." Elian needs the title-belt purse to pay for his paralyzed younger brother Mateo's spinal surgery. Julian charges into the ring consumed by the obsession to prove his own worth by defeating his rival. To fuel the hype, the promoters force the two into a two-month closed training camp together under legendary coach Frank Ortiz — sharing the same dorm room. Blood, sweat, bandages, arena lights — this is a two-lead sports drama about hate and dependence, victory and choice, identity and redemption. In the end, they will come to understand: a champion is not the one who knocked down the most people.
