Pacing Verdict
The screenplay demonstrates excellent pacing, with a strong narrative momentum that builds effectively from the underground fights in Mexico to the climactic title bout in Liverpool. The training montages and relationship scenes with Bianca are well-balanced against the fight sequences, providing necessary emotional release without stalling the forward drive. The only minor rhythm issues occur in the middle act where some training sequences feel slightly repetitive, but the screenplay efficiently delivers character information and maintains tension throughout its confirmed three-act structure.
