Stepping into the ring

Boxing is played with one goal in mind and that is to knock the opponent down for a ten count. The ring is a battlefield where it takes strategy, power and skills to survive. The fights take place on a canvas where blood and sweat paints the picture. Even if a boxer gets knock down, if they get up before the ten count then they are ready to head into battle once again. All boxers chase for victory because at the moment of victory, the lights are so bright and the cheers are so loud that one is entranced in a state of happiness. When the audiences flinch, cheer and scream then it truly becomes a fight to remember.

Boxers must revolve their whole life around boxing. Boxing is not only about battling your opponent but also with your own weakness. Confidence is essential for victory as it differentiates a full weighted punch from a light punch. Boxers must box with a strong mentality so that they can endure the pressure of being stared down and every punch that pierce through their defense. For those who do not have talent, they have hope in how much they practice. When boxers enter the ring, there is no one else to rely on except on yourself and the huge amount of training before the match.
