Sports as an art in the way it is played but more importantly the art is in the human body and how it adapts. the muscles form in specific ways that are beneficial to the sport. the human body is so complex in the way all parts function together in order to perform every task. This event was put on by Desiree D'Alessandro which includes a few boxers within the community, most of whom attend UCSB. the different styles of fighting and even physique elude to the beauty of boxing as an art. Sports are complex challenges brought on by the human mind and spirit but carried out by the body.
I was told that UCSB has a history of boxing and holding boxing matches. Fridays boxing match was a way of honoring that past and in a sense calming the void that the university has felt for the past few years. For the entire week I could fill the school asking; begging for the a boxing match to begin. The air was filled with that salty sweat stench and human musk. The winds howled for flesh being smashed into an others flesh. Sadly I couldn't attend Friday's event but I know that UCSB now sleeps peacefully.
