Forgotten South American (?)movie about a boxer, ~2000s

Tools    





Hi everyone !
I need help finding the title of -I think- a South American movie, from I think the early 2000s (maybe end of the 90s). Its about a friendship between an older boxer and his manager. Spoiler alert --> the manager pays his opponents to lose the matches, so that the boxer can rise again. From what i can remember, its very esthetically pleasing, and its got a smooth rhythm. They travel around for the matches, until the boxer finds out about the truth.
Thanks for your help ! Its been driving me crazy !

I turned this one up on IMDb....

"An aging middleweight boxer trains for a match against a rising star, unaware his manager has fixed the bout so that he must lose - but will he throw the fight?"

The date is earlier (1987) and it's not South American, but it's worth a look. Here's the trailer:




I found a few things. None of them are a perfect fit, but here they are:

Unrivaled (2010): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1426325/?ref_=adv_li_tt

Price of Glory (2000) (This is the best fit--Hispanic cast, year 2000, a shady manager, but still not a perfect match) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0188160/?ref_=adv_li_tt
