DVD Review: The Roar of the Crowd
Summary: 5 Stars
Emma and I sat on the couch watching the DVD of the 45 Fantastic Fights of the Century. She bought it for me for Christmas, thinking that I would be pleased. I appreciated the sentiment, but I had not been following boxing for some time. Yet, Emma was young and believed in love and fairytales (which she would never admit), and had for years found an odd-fascination with my first husband, Rocco, a man that died before she was born, before I met her father, and before I decided that I hated sports of any kind. This statement is not entirely true, and I continue to long for the afternoons I can spend at the baseball park, hearing the crack of the ball, and eating popcorn and peanuts. But boxing is different. Boxing was my first love. Watching the video brought back many memories. Some fights lasted for, what felt like hours, others mere minutes. The men were strong and powerful, and vicious. That is what Rocco lacked. The last time he was scheduled to fight he swore to me that he would win. He ached to be like Jack Johnson and Max Baer. What happened next crushed him.
Prior to the fight, the promoters demanded that all new welterweight boxers report to the training center. The gossips said that the National Hall was only going to hold heavyweight fights. The rest of the men would have to find a new venue. Phone calls were made, someone put an ad in the Chronicle, and some of the fighters even made their own rings in backyards and empty lots. But Rocco needed the shine of the lights and the roar of the crowd. It didn't matter much that they rooted against him.
