Baby Face Jack's Biggest Fight

"He didn't hit me, he pushed me away and the thumb of his glove caught me."

She lifted his hands and looked at them very closely, "You didn't break any knuckles this time, and your hands look good."

"Yeah, they were wrapped correctly this time, Fred did it himself."

She lifted his hands to her lips and gently kissed each of them. "I love you Jack, I don't think I can take this much longer. I hate seeing you get hurt."

Jack quickly looked around, he whispered, "We will talk later Sweetie. I love you too."

Jack and Sandy went to their apartment and they cuddled on the couch as he wound down. He said he thought he was finished with the fight game. He was making more money from his Fitness Centers and Championship Gyms than he had ever made from Boxing.

The big money was in the heaver weight divisions. Even though he has often called the best fighter, pound for pound, in the world, his fights did not command the huge sums the heavyweight fights brought in, still, for a boy from an average family he had made huge sums of money. He had a very good investment portfolio. His spending habits were very frugal. He had always known that his career in boxing could end with any fight. Even an accidental injury could end his career.

Jack and Sandy had been together forever. They were next-door neighbors. They played in their cribs together. They had attended day care together. They played together after school. They were best friends as children and then they became lovers in their late teens. They wanted to get married and Jack proposed to her at least once a week. She always said yes, as soon as he stopped boxing. They had been living together for five years. He had talked over his goals with her many times, now he had reached or exceeded all of them.

Jack smiled to himself then grimaced with the pain the smile brought from his nose. He looked at Sandy, as always she was beautiful. She had long blond hair and a flawless body.
