Boxing is referred to as The Sweet Science for a reason. It's a highly technical sport, with skill and craft that can take years to master.
But it's still a fight. Boxers aren't trying to put a ball in a net or across a goal line. A boxer is trying to hurt the other guy more than the other guy hurts him. And courage has to play a big part.
Guts might not always be enough, but without guts there is ultimately a whole lot of nothing at all.
That makes writing a story like this one a little bit daunting. I know I have 10 great examples of incredibly gutsy performances in the ring.
But this is a case where I am excited to see who the readers think I left out.
