Final Instructions

The fight between Lefty Louie and Bonecrusher Rocco was only minutes away. Bonecrusher was an awesome specimen – a huge head, bull neck, and massive chest and biceps.

In Louie’s corner, Al, his manager, had a few last words.

“The referee’s going to give you both instructions in the middle of the ring.”

Why a square surface was called a ring Louie didn’t understand.

“He’s going to tell you to go to a neutral corner when someone’s down. Break when he tells you to. Then he’ll say let the better man win.”

“What?”

“I know, Louie. Just forget that last part.”
