| about the fight |
so last night jerome and i headed down to the orleans for a night of boxing. i have watched it on tv but truly never enjoyed it. this is just one sport that i have always seen as rather barbaric. i agreed to go because: 1)it was a title fight, 2) there would be one woman's bout (thought it might be fun to watch two women beating on each other), 3) his sister got him the tickets and 4) it was something new for us to do together.
the fights were due to start at 7pm, we got to the orleans at 6 and went here for dinner. the clam chowder was fabulous and the bowl was HUGE. after eating, we headed upstairs for the fights, our seats were ringside (in the second row). you could actually see the sweat falling off each of the boxers and the blood spraying across the air. the first three bouts, all men, were ok, but really no thrill since there were no knock outs. the following bout was the women and it actually had me screaming for more....IT WAS AWESOME. this is the woman that won the bout, come to find out, she is the wba light weight champion. the last bout was the heavyweight continental belt championship bout. these guys are so huge that you could literally hear every foot step they took and every punch they landed. i enjoyed it so mu8ch that we may be going back in march. |
