Amigo Brothers
Storyboard Szöveg
- In the story Amigo Brothers two seventeen year old boys Antonio Cruz and Felix Vargas grew up in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. They were so together in friendship that they felt themselves as brothers. Antonio was fair, lean, and lanky and his hair was always falling over his eyes. While Felix always wore his black hair in a natural Afro style and was short, husky and had dark hair. They both had a dream of becoming a lightweight champion f the world. Every chance they had both Antonio and Felix worked out , sometimes at the boys' club on 10th Street and sometimes at the pro's gym. You can also find them running along the East River Drive early morning sunrises. Some youngsters were into street negatives but not Antonio and Felix. While other teens were out doing street negatives Antonio and Felix were either sleeping, eating, rapped, and they also dreamt positive. They both had a collection of Fight magazines second to none, plus a scrapbook filled with torn tickets to every boxing match they had ever attended, and some clippings of their own. If anyone asked a question about any fighter they would immediately zip out from their memory banks divisions, weights, records of fights, knockouts, technical knockouts, and draws or losses.
- Felix and Antonio were informed that they were going to be fighting each other. The winner will represent the Boys' Club in the Golden Gloves Championship Tournament. Even when they found out they had to fight each other they still chose to run with each other along the East River Drive, and even when they were joking they both sensed a wall rising between them. Antonio glanced at Felix, who kept his eyes purposely straight ahead, pausing from time to time to do some fancy leg work while throwing one- twos followed by uppercuts to an imaginary jaw. After a mile or so of them running Felix puffed and said "Lets stop a while, bro. I think we both got something to say to each other." Felix tapped Antonio gently on the shoulder. "I don't mean to sound like i'm bragging, bro. But I wanna win fair and square." So they stopped talking till the fight was over. Antonio nodded quietly. "Yeah. We both know that in the ring the better man wins. Friend or no friend, brother or no..."
- After all the work outs, it was finally the week of the fight between Antonio and Felix. There was many workers setting up for the fight. The scheduled bouts began shortly after noon and the park had begun filling up earlier. The junior high school across from the Tompkins Square park was the dressing room for all the fighters. Antonio and Felix both changed into their fighting clothes, Antonio was wearing white shorts, black socks, and black shoes. Felix wore sky blue shorts, red socks,and white boxing shoes and they both had dressing gowns to match their fighting shorts with their name neatly stitched on the back. The speakers blared loudly into the open windows of the school. There was speeches by dignitaries,community leaders, and also great boxers of yesteryear. Their waiting time was over and Felix was escorted from the classroom by a dozen fans in white T-shirts with the word FELIX across their fronts, and Antonio was escorted down a different stairwell and guided through a roped-off path.
- The fight is about to start both Antonio and Felix are climbing into the ring and the crowd exploded with a roar. They both bow gracefully and then raise their arms in acknowledgment. The announcer spoke slowly and announced Antonio and Felix. "In this corner weighing 134 pounds, Felix Vargas. And in this corner weighing 133 pounds, Antonio Cruz" said the announcer. Finally, Antonio and Felix touch gloves and nod , then the announcer makes the bong sound for them to go. "BONG! BONG! BONG! ROUND ONE" the announcer says, Felix and Antonio then turn and face each other squarely in a fighting pose. Felix didn't waste any time, he came in fast head low, half- hunched toward his right shoulder, and lashed out with a straight left. He missed the punch though. They fought and fought and then Felix fell flat on his back. The doctor came to help Antonio then he got up for round three. Round three Antonio was hurt but got up, Antonio a bit to close Felix had him entangled into a rip-roaring, punching toe to toe. Then when the last round was over they both let together, they didn't wait to hear who won because no matter who won they were still gonna be good friends. I think Felix won though, because when Antonio got hurt it was hard for him to get back up and punch Felix but he still got up and fought him.
