Boxing was particularly the most watched sport in my family. Every time we visited Korea my Grandparents and uncles were always watching boxing on the television in the middle of the night. They would drink and watch in awe as the boxers clashed on TV, waiting for one of the opponents to drop. The fight would dometimes go until early morning, due to the time difference South Korea and the US has. In the midst of the chaos, they would always laugh and cheer as the fighters carried on their battles. Due to this influence, I also became a boxing fan, watching matches and live events at home after I was done with all my work. It became a habit that I eventually stopped completely during my Junior year. To keep this memory of my family, I decided to dedicate my work towards this piece in order to immortalize the moment.
