The final boxing scene is quite intense, but there is no very excessive violence.
The violence is limited to boxing and punching; at a few points we see blood (limited to face) and after-match scars. A man is attacked from behind and hazed (more dramatic for a 40's movie). His assailant is then attacked; we see the hazed man with blood on his face. A man is run over by a car; this is off-screen, though. A man has a blood clot in his head; he later dies after falling.
