Put Up Your Dukes
No, I did not get into a fight. But I did go and see a fight. Fifteen of them actually.
I had never gone to see boxing in person and I was not sure I wanted to. But my daughter’s best friend was boxing in this event and it was nearby and so my daughter and I went.
I was not sure what to make of it. The first fight was between two fighters who looked like they were ten years old. The fights at this event was almost evenly between males and females, all young people.
At times it was hard to look at and yet I could see the skill involved. These people worked hard to get there. What I was most impressed with was the seeming friendliness of the fighters afterwards and even the concern when one looked to be hurt.
But of course, the best part of the evening was spending time with my daughter. It was the first fight for both of us. It was a great bonding time and it was a lot of fun for both of us.
