glass-joes: The enduring allure of sport around the world is only partially owed to the sum total of goals scored or points received on the playing field. Just like the steak's sizzle, what sells and defines athletics is the surrounding culture the games help create--fans, passion, sweat, heroism, politics, sex, money, and power. In the ancient sport of boxing the culture can be viewed proudly on full display, giving each main event, no matter how big or small, a theatrical flair. A glimpse of the world is found at Fight Night at A La Carte Event Pavilion in Tampa Bay, which features semi-professional boxers and unpredictable outcomes. - John Loomis http://blueeyesmagazine.com/
