26: The Fight

Justin Drown
About this episode
Growing up, I always wanted to be a fighter. My friends and were involved in school wrestling. We took local boxing classes. And Like fools we had makeshift local boxing tournament There were times when we nearly knocked each other out. I’ve found years later that others shared this experience. Looking back… I wish I’d learned a language. Maybe focused on my fitness. Instead, I probably earned myself some C.T.E. It’s interesting to find that this sort of dangerous competition still goes on. That young people are still finding that not so great outlet. November, 20th, 2021, the University of Nevada Las Vegas hosted a boxing event at the held at the Sahara Event Center. The Fight Night featured untrained student boxers. What happened next was a tragedy and disaster.
