Towards the beginning of the movie, the main character threatens to kill a neighbor's dog for barking. The dog is not seen on-screen and is not harmed.

Jake gets manhandled a lot in the boxing ring. At one point when he goes to approach Sugar Ray, somebody puts his arms around Jake’s chest from behind and literally carries him away. The amount that he gets touched and shoved around in the ring made me really uncomfortable

There is arterial spray when people get punched in the face in the boxing ring. A sponge soaked in water and blood is squeezed over Jake, and Jake’s blood splatters his legs and drips from the ropes

A couple of noses and cheekbones are probably broken. Joey talks graphically about how Tony Janiro’s nose was broken and “hanging off”

People spit blood and drool during boxing matches. At one point when Jake is in his house with his family he casually hacks and spits on the floor. He also spits when he is annoyed in a bar. It’s intended to make him seem disgusting and animalistic, and it really works

There’s a very triggering scene of Jake in a jail cell pounding his head and fists against the wall and screaming. It’s extremely realistic. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually done in real life
