Round One

It's been five years since Tommy walked out on the welterweight championship fight with Rico St. George, that act which is still largely seen as cowardice. Tommy's ex-girlfriend Pamela, who was supposedly in Tommy's figurative corner on the day of that fight, is also now married to Rico. It's also Tommy's birthday, something that no one, even his family, seems to care about, they who are more concerned about wishing Sylvia a happy birthday, her birthday which is still a week away. Tommy's disintegrated life as a washed up boxer could take a turn when Chesley posts a video online of Tommy, showing his fighting prowess, in an impromptu street fight, that video which goes viral, and catches the attention of Rico, who would welcome a chance to finish in the ring what Tommy stopped five years ago. Out of shape and out of practice, Tommy has to decide if he is up to accepting Rico's challenge, it which would also bring him face to face again with Pamela if he accepts. Written by Huggo
