Was that press conference scene after his first fight, not exactly the same as rocky III??

it was pretty much just like it....felt like miguel just saw rocky 3 and needed a reaction

I thought the same thing. To me, in a way the whole movie was like a very dark Rocky 3, with the champ losing everything and then being taught how to fight in a more intelligent style.

The similarities weren't that obvious though - Southpaw is a very good film in it's own right.

He had enough sense not to ruin another set of children's lives.. I don't think he forgave him or got over the death of his wife, he just knew that it would be the kids who suffered. That said, I think those particular kids probably would have been better off in care

Made sense to me. He's close to his daughter, so he doesn't want to be responsible for putting another kid through what his own child had to experience.

You can be on the brink of doing something very stupid, and then one realisation snaps you out of it.
