now the hands stay up

now the hands stay up 🫣😂 A boxer’s determination can be one of the best things about the sport. Training builds the habit of staying composed, protecting yourself and finding a way through uncomfortable moments, even when continuing gets difficult. Sometimes that same stubbornness shows up in a much smaller interaction with an official. This fighter clearly wanted to stay involved, and his gloves became the first line of negotiation. The referee still had a job to do, regardless of how committed he was to keeping that guard closed. #Boxing #BoxingLife #FightNight #CombatSports
