Social media reacts to Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan's The Prizefighter documentary

A documentary on Irish boxer Spike O'Sullivan aired on TV on Wednesday night.

'The Prizefighter' is an hour-long short film detailing the relationship between the Mahon based boxer and his coach Paschal ‘Packie’ Collins as they embarked a three-fight deal to push for a world title.

It also gave a behind the scenes look at his defeat to Canadian David Lemieux last September in Las Vegas.

The film was directed by award-winning filmmaker Terry McMahon (Patrick’s Day, Charlie Casanova) and produced by Tim Palmer (Into the West, Patrick’s Day) & John Norton (Fade Street).

People were very impressed with it and took to social media to give their views. Here's what they've been saying:

O'Sullivan is back in the boxing ring this weekend when he faces Jaime Munguia in the early hours of Sunday morning Irish time in Texas.
