Steffi's brother helps the local Munich boxing club, 1860 (same name as the futbol club). As a result, he has VIP tickets to their fights. Tonight's was against a club from Moscow. Amateur, pretty low-keyed, but fun nonetheless. VIP tickets entitled us to free beer and food, and a special area to watch from up above, but a bit further away from the action. We chose to sit ringside instead. As they say: it ain't a boxing match unless you're close enough to get hit with rivulets of blood from a solid hit. Actually, the only time there was any evidence of blood-- a just barely bruised/scraped cheek-- that one match was ended. How civil.
