This is a follow up to From Writing to Fighting: Coaching a Colleague.
“What bout are we on now?” I ask one of the organizers as I enter the ballroom where two rings are set up.
She flips through the papers she’s holding, looking at today’s fight line up.
“This is fight number ten. Name?”
“Tabuena,” I tell her, pointing to Paolo’s name on the list. She puts a tick mark to note that we’re already in the venue, and tells us that we’re scheduled as bout number 46.
