"This time, to Felix's surprise, it was Antonio who came out fast, charging across the boxing ring. Felix braced himself but couldn't ward off the barrage of punches. Antonio drove Felix hard against the ropes. The crowd ate it up, cheering wildly. Felix tapped his gloves and commenced his attack anew. Antonio, throwing boxers' caution to the winds, jumping in to meet him.

Both pounded away. Neither gave an inch, and neither fell to the canvas…Bong! Bong! Bong! The bell sounded over and over again to end the round."

(Piri Thomas, "Amigo Brothers")
