A poem by Ronald Wallace

The Friday Night Fights

Every Friday night we watched the fights. Me, ten years old and stretched out on the couch; my father, in his wheelchair, looking on as Rocky Marciano, Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson fought and won the battles we could not. Him, twenty-nine, and beat up with disease; me, counting God among my enemies for what he’d done to us. We never touched.

But in between the rounds we’d sing how we’d Look sharp! Feel sharp! & Be sharp! with Gillette and Howard Cosell, the Bela Lugosi of boxing. Out in the kitchen, my mother never understood our need for blood, how this was as close as we’d get to love—bobbing and weaving, feinting and sparring.

Since Nick is based off Howard Cosell, I’ve been wondering who would be the equivalent to Muhammad Ali in the KND universe. In real life, Cosell and Ali were close friends. I think Maurice would make sense as an Ali equivalent.

Maurice became part of the TND instead of becoming a Teen Ninja. In real life, Muhammad Ali opposed being drafted to the Vietnam War. I can see Nick knowing about Maurice being part of the TND. In my mind, I think Nick and Maurice would be working on opposite sides, but they would become friends.
