I feel your pain. My own father was one of these so-called "real men" and spoke with his fists to me, almost exclusively.
It's hard for me to make out what the figures in the art are doing, either because of a lack of clarity in the outlines or the colours, I cannot tell which.
Loving your fighter

Real men speak with their fists.
These were the words of my father. These were the words of a man that wanted to teach his son how to be a man.
Was he wrong?
Do women not really want the strong man? Was this never the way for a man to earn his bread? Why did so many do it? Why are we so willing to get in the fray and then be told it is better to turn the other cheek?
These were some of the questions that made me think.
AdventVoice responds:
Lack of clarity will be fixed over time when I find better mediums. The messages will get better too!
This is only the beginning.
There is a more elaborate explanation found at www.adventgradepress.com
In short:
Scene 1: The man and woman both love the dream the comes from the fight, the idea of money and the spotlight.
Scene 2: When there is no crowd, each has to weigh how much the fame, the money, the spotlight is worth it to them.
Scene 3: She is alone, she asked him to stay, don't fight, who cares, "ill love you, when or loose, leave it all, let the dream die, just don't fight."
Scene 4: The bell rings
Scene 5: He is hit a lot.
Scene 6 She can not take it, she can't look, he face getting hit is not worth it.
Scene 7 HE is winning, everything is going to be fine, it is worth it, He is so strong, can't wait to go home!
Scene 8: the Bell rings and no matter what we love our fighters. We love the strong man and strong woman.
The story of my life.
