Giant Boxing

On a whim, I picked up some giant inflatable boxing gloves from Walmart that were on clearance. I thought it might be fun for Troy and I to punch it out without the prospect of one or both of us getting hurt. What I didn’t plan on was that it came with just two boxing gloves in the box, one left and one right. So, I’ll be going back tomorrow to get another set.

What we quickly learned was that my vast height advantage was a huge difference maker. Troy couldn’t get anywhere close to me, as I kept him at bay with my jab. I was only using a fraction of full power, just enough to basically tap him on the nose, but it was effective, and I did snap his head back a few times. He quickly got frustrated and started to bull rush me, which I stopped with an uppercut and a jab to the gut. Overall, my superior boxing knowledge was working for me, even with only one boxing glove and fighting southpaw…at least until Troy sucker punched me.

He came at me swinging his gigantic blue boxing glove around wildly. As I used my gigantic red boxing glove to stave off his ferocious attack, he reached out with his non-gloved hand and grabbed the edge of my boxing glove. He pulled it down just far enough to get his glove over my defense and clock me right on the chin. I collapsed like a sack of potatoes, and Troy pounced on top of me, switching from boxing to MMA, and began to pummel me.

I somehow managed to mount a little defense and throw him off me. From my knees, I launched out a vicious jab that sent Troy flying. That bought me enough time to get to my feet and resume my attack. In the end, I didn’t get the knockout, but the judges all voted in my favor for a unanimous decision. Dada is still the undefeated champion!
