Boston, MA A Perfect Circle April 2 2024 Boch Center Wang Theatre shirt

He could. He could beat some other very flawed champ with a big vulnerability or a lack of basic skill, or someone much older and/or physically overmatched in the Boston, MA A Perfect Circle April 2 2024 Boch Center Wang Theatre shirt But I will love this right way. Love of fighting. Boxing, yes, but the underlying joy in combat, which just happens to be channeled through a particular art form…. ideally a particular joy for boxing. I didn’t go far in boxing, in-ring. But I never left, not for long. The risk of permanent harm, to self and opponent, might, and should, dissuade most people from such hardcore ritual combat. Its an accurate stereotype that people who’ve experienced an early life with lots of adversity, people who’ve had to get used to violence, and even relatively comfortable with it, are much more likely to deal well with the raw parts of boxing. But then, to build one’s life around fighting….that’s a whole other thing. Tony Marchese, my awesome trainer from ’82 – ‘87, told my father “we can build Danny into a good middleweight – he has all the tools, and he loves it in there. But gotta be realistic – he not gonna NEED boxing, comes a point when fighting and preparing to fight and coming down from fighting just isn’t gonna be worth it to him”.


He was right, of course. To this day, a month from my 58th birthday, as long as my cardio is OK, sparring is an intense joy. However, anticipating a tournament or charity fight (as I am now), walks a tightrope – on one side is a sense of purpose which motivates me to get to the Boston, MA A Perfect Circle April 2 2024 Boch Center Wang Theatre shirt But I will love this gym, say no to excess or bad food, do a mini-Hagler and sit and think serous thoughts in solitude about how I’ll handle any eventuality, and destruct and destroy …. but then comes anxiety, and what if I suck, and what if my friends and family finally see me get KO’d, and when is that capillary gonna pop because I’d have to be an idiot to still be doing this…. but it don’t matta, I still love it.
