Reception
Rómulo Berruti in Clarín stated that it was a film intended to be a review of the Peronist regime, using the drama of a boxer as a "pivot". El Mundo opined that it is a " film that loses by points… It feeds but it doesn't hit. It avoids but does not delve… more nostalgic than critical… immature, but with good intentions". Manrupe and Portela wrote: "Good reconstruction at times and some drama achieved".[4] Luis Trelles Plazaola in his book South American Cinema/ Cine De America Del Sur: Dictionary of Film Makers describes Los golpes bajos as a "film of greater weight and thematic ambition".[5]
