Life is a game we’re not supposed to win. We’re all going to die one day and depending on what you believe only one of us has ever made it back. The odds on immortality aren’t too good. We may die one day, but that day is not today. Buck the odds. Live one more day. Fight one more round. Fighting is a natural instinct. It’s survival of the fittest, fastest and strongest. Unfortunately, you’re never going to fight better than you were born. Your destiny is in your DNA. Boxing upsets the apple cart of rational thought by making you think different. It’s Brains over Brawn. A boxer is a rebel, a rabble-rouser, an iconoclast.
The heretical notion that bigger isn’t always better, that might doesn’t always make right and that you can make yourself better than you were born is what boxing is all about. Boxing is about staying and fighting when everyone else turns and runs. A coward saves his own skin. A hero saves someone else’s. Not all fights are fought in a ring. Life isn’t fair, the world is cruel, the end is near. Get off your stool, pick up your hands and Fight One More Round.
