The day of the fight
Sweaty from after warming up as Boco chills with a towel on his head, thinking to himself as he clasps his hands tight as he stares forward, stay calm and do everything Coach taught me.
Opening the door to the room as Coach Henco and Kego appear.
Seeing a focused but also slightly nervous Boco, Coach Henco states, it's only right to feel nervous for your first match. But again kid, don't let your nerves cloud what you've learned and just follow my instructions and you'll be fine.
Plopping right next to Boco as Kego smoothly expresses his thoughts, listen to the big guy Boco. The guy your about to face may have experience, but the thing about the sport of boxing, matches are unpredictable. Trust in your training and you might come out the victor.
Rising up from the stoop, poised with a determined facial expression, Boco responds, thank you both for your words of encouragement. I'm starting to feel at ease and I'm ready to give this fight everything I've got.
Booming from the speakers in the room, as a man's enthusiastic voice sounds, B block fighters come to the stage!
Opening the door, Coach Henco says, alright kiddo it's time.
