Lonnie Maguire blinked away the sweat dripping into his eyes and
balanced his weight, concentrating on his next move. He lifted his
elbow to shoulder height and twisted his hips, gathering as much power as
he could. His fist whipped around in a short arc.
Bullseye.

His left hook landed hard, smacking into the side of the punching bag.
He followed that up with a quick combination, landing a right hook, then
another left before leaning back, rotating his base foot, and swinging his
shin into the middle of the bag. A masterful roundhouse. His leather
opponent rolled in circles, dizzied by the vicious attack.
Lonnie bounced on his toes, ready to go again.
That was a perfect kickboxing combo, delivered with speed and power.
It would’ve floored any human opponent and brought a crowd to its feet.
Just a shame there were so few people around to see his achievement.
The Hard Diamond Gym was almost empty at nine thirty on a Saturday
night. The sparring ring in the middle of the room was bare.
Some new kid with arms like matchsticks tried to skip rope by the wall
but kept losing his rhythm after five or so cycles of the rope. Lonnie
remembered those days, feeling uncoordinated and awkward. He didn’t
miss them.
Lonnie’s coach, Toby Azaria, sat at the table in the far corner that
served as his “office.” He scowled at the screen of a computer almost old
enough to run on steam.
There was no one else here.
Apparently, the other guys had places—better places—to be. They
didn’t want to hang out in a gym where bare patches pockmarked the
linoleum floor. The brickwork flaked off in wide chunks every time
someone brushed a shoulder against the wall.
Only half the fluorescent
tubes hanging from the high ceiling worked. Whatever breeze the wheezing
air conditioner managed to cough into the room disappeared through the
holes in the high, broken windowpanes before cooling any gym goers.
Lonnie’s friends were out partying or sitting on a stoop somewhere,
drinking hard with their pals or passing a joint.
Not him. Not Lonnie Maguire. He was going places. He was going to
take on the world and win. Knock ’em all out. Every single one of them. No
way would he ever waste training time on booze or drugs.
World Championship, here I come.
A few more fights, and he’d be ready to go pro. He’d work his way up,
win a belt or two. A world championship, a defense, and another. Wouldn’t
be long before he’d be set for life. Then he and his girlfriend and their little
boy could just relax. Rosa and Kev meant the world to him.
