Personal Narrative: My Fight
Eat, Train, Sleep. That is the mantra you have when you are preparing for a fight. Except this time it is the fight of my life. I fought my way to the top to be the next world heavyweight champion. Since I challenged the current heavyweight champ I have been training everyday for ten hours and now I am a force to be reckoned with. Today at seven A.M. two days before my fight I start to train again like every other day.
“Dom, you better be training hard today, because I saw you slack off a little. The fight is going to be broadcasted live on pay per view, HBO” my Coach says
“Marcus dont worry, Im not going to lose. I dropped out of college to get here. We will win this!” I replied
“Good, today we have three amature fights scheduled and the first one is in five minutes so get ready!” said Coach
So I get ready and hop in the ring just as my opponent does. As we touch gloves, he tries hitting me with a quick cross but I dodge and he misses. The Ref does not call it so I know Marcus told this him to allow playing dirty, just to test me. The bell rings, we come out of our corners and begin to circle each other. Staring one another down as we do our walk arounds, searching for weaknesses.

He continues, “If you drop anytime in the last round, and the current Heavyweight Champion wins we will give you $500,000.”
I thought about their offer and considered accepting it. However if I did except it I would never be able to be a World Champion.
I answered “ Gentlemen I like the offer however I do not believe in giving up so I politely decline.”
I then get up and leave them and start to walk over to hit the bag because I need to practice because there is no way I am going to
