Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya wanted to make a documentary about his 1996 fight against Julio César Chávez. It was coming up on 25 years since the “Ultimate Glory” showdown and he figured the time was right to look back. So he asked Eva Longoria Bastón, his friend of 20 years, if she’d be interested in directing.

“I was like, ‘Oh, God no. No, no, no,’” Bastón laughed. “The last thing I wanted to do was a boxing doc with stats and jabs.”
