Golden Gloves

Golden Gloves are going till April. And you all have to head to the Bronx for some serious bloodsport. Its badass, because you can go right up to the ropes, have your elbows on the mat and take brillo phots of the fighting. You will totally get spattered in blood, but its worth it! I once watched a dude with satin pants, frills and some vicious tude get into the ring, blow kisses to the ring girls and point across the ring at his opponent how he was going to knock him out. He got into the middle of the ring and did this crazy little dance. the other guy was wearing black cutoff sweat pants, sneakers and a pair of borrowed gloves. He didn't seem to know anyone there and was all uncomfortable and super shy. The bell rang and black sweatpants guy knocked him out with one punch. The best fight I ever saw.
