New Action-Packed Sneak Peek for Mark Wahlberg's 'The Fighter' Arrives

A new sneak peek for "The Fighter" has made its way out online. An exclusive courtesy of IGN, the video compiles scenes from the action sequences, featuring glimpses of Mark Wahlberg's Micky Ward's intense training sessions as well as his real fight on the ring. In the meantime, his girlfriend Charlene who is portrayed by Amy Adams is seen brawling with a woman in another scene.

The movie revolves around the life of professional Irish boxer "Irish" Micky Ward and his trainer-brother Dick Eklund. It will chronicle their early days on the rough streets of Lowell, Mass., through Eklund's battle with drugs and Ward's eventual world championship in London.

Christian Bale is cast as Dick Eklund, joined by Melissa Leo and Jack McGee on the cast ensemble. Directed by David O. Russell, this R-rated drama will open in limited U.S. theaters on December 10.
