TITLESHOT

The Story of Every Fighter
-The Living Daylights

What they're saying about TitleShot

How lucky is the boxing community now to have Gaylen Ross’s documentary Titleshot... Ross’s documentary will prove, it is the effort itself that is the victory.   And as such, defeat, as tough as it is, is made noble and compelling..  This is the power of boxing and the power of Titleshot:  ​that even in the face of losing, of seemingly insurmountable odds, the fighter enters the ring despite this...  - The Sweet Science
Boxing film TitleShot tells truest of stories..(TitleShot) focuses its lens on sides of the sweet science rarely seen at once — the triumphs, heartbreaks, and intimate behind the scenes realities of navigating the harsh realm of professional boxing ...what makes this project special is the resonance of genuine moments and unbridled emotions that the film captures in ways that only a documentary with such intimate access to the most brutal of sports can.

Boxing fans and purists will undoubtedly find
TitleShot‘s time capsule aspect fascinating. Much of the film was shot at New York’s hallowed Gleason’s Gym, which throughout its history has been a hotbed for prospects, contenders, world champions, and some of the most charismatic — and colourful — figures in boxing. TitleShot features appearances by a young Shane Mosley (who spars with Nyakana), Kevin Kelley, and trainer Bob Jackson. It also offers a unique glimpse of legends no longer with us like Angelo Dundee, cut man Al Gavin, and promoter Cedric Kushner. …with fight footage and behind the scenes moments after victories and defeats, that imbue TitleShot with a unique feeling of totality.  TitleShot isn’t just about Godfrey Nyakana or Bobby Cassidy. It isn’t just about the harsh realities of being a professional boxer. It’s the story of every fighter — one that’s omnipresent yet rarely told.

- The Living Daylights
An exciting new addition to the canon of great boxing films.. Ross' existing footage has the classic look of real film, no longer seen often in contemporary documentaries, where much cheaper video production has become standard. It's the perfect visual aesthetic for what is essentially a "time capsule" for a now-gone era of boxing history.  -BallTribe
A story that deserves telling and to be shared with the world.. not just about boxing but about fighting for life itself! - Inside the Ropes
TitleShot isn't another Rocky, Creed, or Southpaw film - it's a real-life documentary that followed Ugandan boxer Godfrey Nyakana from fight to fight as he sought a junior-middleweight world championship. - Bad Left Hook 
Have you wondered what a young Shane Mosley looks like in sparring? Or what Angelo Dundee is like behind the scenes? ... unprecedented access to Nyakana’s career, from sparring with a young Shane Mosley to pre-fight pep talks and post-fight analysis, moments rarely seen by those outside Boxing’s inner-circle.  -T2T Boxing
1970s Movie Star's Journey from 'Dawn of the Dead' to Boxing's Most Famous Gym ... She and her team.. will fight for funding until the very last bell sounds! - Bleacher Report
