:EPIPHANY:  
A sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.
 That's what I had in the Boxing gym the other day, an epiphany.   For starters isn't it neat when the monotony of our routined, day to day lives is shattered by a sudden realization of something that's been in our face the whole time? 
I think it is. Case in point:I was training a 20-something year old kid about a year ago who seemed to have plenty of potential.  He would travel across state-lines a couple times a week to train with me.  He seemed to be eager to keep learning and from what I witnessed in his few sparring sessions - he was quite heavy handed on his sparring partners.  Though a few intangibles had me speculating his fear of ever taking a walk down 'queer' street, he was at least a couple months away from his first fight so there was no rush.  I would see how he handled being rocked in due time. One day I paired him up to spar with an Irish lad from the gym who was about his level.  I'd cleared it with the kids trainers that though my boy was a tad wet-behind-the-ears, he did have some innate power in his punches.  Some people have natural strength, some have to be taught from the ground up but my kid was strong from the first day.  The Irish kid looked a few years younger than my boy and was as skinny as a rail.  I'd seen the kid shadow Boxing on the floor a few times but never paid much attention to him.   They went at it. In short, the Irish kid whupped up on my boy.  Of course it wasn't a true "beatdown", but it did prematurely open my kids eyes in a rather BLUNT manner to the brutality of the Sweet Science.   I pulled him out after the 2nd round and thought I'd actually seen the re-emergence of Houdini (he disappeared).   Within the next 3 months the...
