Tiffany Junot: "Every Once in a
While"
By Bernie McCoy
November 19, 2012 |
(NOV 19) I remember the first time someone asked me why I
wrote about boxing: "Ain't no good stories in this sport," a well

good" tales, boxing is probably not the place to begin. But every
once in a while, you come across a narrative where the pendulum that
cuts through this often cruel sport swings in favor of just the
right fighter at just the right time. ..Full
