PASSAGE
Jim had his first -71- in professional boxing when he was seventeen and that match has remained indelible in his memory. Before the match, he had gone for a weigh-in along with other boxers. On the D-day, he came into the -72- amidst loud cheers from the spectators after he had been called by the -73-. He was wearing customised trunks and -74- to prevent damage to his hands. Jim and his -75- moved round throwing punches at each other. Jim threw a right -76-, left himself open and got cut by a strong counter punch. After this attack from his rival, Jim raised his arms and held his -77- in front of his face to protect himself by -78- the punches as they came. During the second -79-, Jim delivered a sucker punch which got his opponent in the ribs leading to loss of consciousness. Consequently, Jim won the game by -80-.
