This short story is bout two friends who grew up together with such <u>enormity of friendship and brotherhood</u> that they started imagining each other like real brothers. The commonality that they shared was their <u>love for boxing</u> which they loved to fight. It was an outlet for both of them from the negativeness that was highly prevalent in that part of the city. In Paragraph 45 , Antonio is <u>passing through a dilemma</u> where he has to figure out the <u>outcome of his boxing match</u> with his brother - like friend, Felix. He tries to console himself by saying the <u>friendship and sports shouldn't be mixed up</u>.
