Boxers: The Same at Heart
By David Pambianchi
June 24, 2006

     
   
   
   
   

(JUNE 24) We often make associations that give us a false sense of reality. We assume that men and women approach virtue, courage and self realization from different perspectives and we accept there is a functional difference between us. But we are not so divided.

In the ring, each individual tests their courage, yet somehow when the battle ends a reality presents itself; that respect for your opponent who shares your experiences. Both face their fears, struggles and overcome pain, "give all they got," and somehow on some gut level, together you enter a brotherhood. No different for women, they face the same personal challenges, the hard work, preparation and endurance. They enter a sisterhood. But men and women do not have to compete, for when eye to eye, every boxer who has stepped into that ring shares an affiliation, a camaraderie. And while some enter the history books and others only read them, we all know something about each other, and share.

As more women join the boxing community, it is a good feeling to share another sport, another vehicle that shows how similar we are in spirit. They bring us closer and help break down the myths for those who may think that boxing is but a brutal pastime. There is within boxing an attractive intensity, elegance and intelligence.

Maureen Shea, Laila Ali, Christy Martin, so many more boxers and former boxers such as Jackie Tanawanda, exemplify that clear-eyed awareness, articulation, and wholesome presence. These qualities themselves are beautiful attributes and mingle well with the grace and power women boxers possess.

At a “Ring 8” meeting in Long Island City, NY, commenting on the fighter’s heart, Ms. Jill Diamond who boxes just for fitness, now co-chair of the NABF female division, and with the WBC Female Championship Committee, in character, summed up her impression of members. She recognizes what characterizes most boxers outside the ring, “They are warm, embracing and loving.”
