Boxers lunge forward at the sound of the bell
Misting sweat looms above the fighters with a pungent smell
Swollen muscles bulge form their shoulders
Rock-hard gloves slide off the jaw like tremendous boulders
Devastating blows to the jaw seem endless to the eye
Mouth pieces ejected from the mouth, I tell no lie
Blood streaming from the mouth, it doesn’t seem right
Insurmountable pain seethes through his body at the end of the fight

Very descriptive writing, here.  Sounds as though it doesn't end until the pain sets in.  Would you be telling the brutal truth here?

Enjoyed the read, and again, I was struck by the graphic descriptions.

Welcome to Pip!!

Loved the detail in this..

I recently have been looking into boxing (at least getting the training) very expensive..
