His charismatic persona is deeply rooted in the Colombian and Venezuelan collective memory. He remains a legendary hero, known not only for the power of his fists but also for his lavish lifestyle. 

From shoeshine boy in the streets of Cartagena to Welterweight Boxing Champion, this 80-hour TV series captures AC’s meteoric rise, demise, and the price he paid for fame and glory.
