TITLE: The Ring

Usually the top draws at boxing events are the boxers for obvious reasons. But I find the moments between furious bouts of boxing equally fascinating. The ring fringed by lights. The anxious coaches. The edgy boxers. The we-mean-business referees. The ring girls. The TV crews. It's not just boxing. It's performance art.
