World Series of Boxing presents LA and Astana!!

by: Diana



Sunday was very exciting and really long day. I went to Los-Angeles with my friends. On Saturday we decided to go after lunch, but our adult friends made some corrections because they haven’t ever been to LA. According to this, they picked me up at 12 o’clock. So, it was sounded to be great. We went to Hollywood Boulevard for enjoy stars of famous people and take photos as many as possible. Actually, it was not just optional trip, and we came there on purpose. The aim was to see the World Series of Boxing. It is a team competition between two groups of boxers which present their own countries. In this way, the box was between American team and team from Kazakhstan. The American teams’ name is Matadors, and they have their own red blue flag. The Kazakhstan teams’ name is Astana Arlans which means wolfs of capital city. Each team composed of five the strongest and bravest boxers. Some of them are Olympic champions, and others are gold and silver owners. The structure of competition was usual because all boxers were divided into pairs according to their weights. The box started at 7 pm, and it took place at Music Box Center on the Hollywood Boulevard. There were a lot of Kazakh students who came from different cities such as San Diego, San Francisco and we who are from Riverside. Also, there were students from USC University. When we came in to hall, we saw a big ring which has red and blue corners. I had never seen real boxing before; I just saw it at movies. During the competition we were sitting on the balcony, and we could completely see all occurred actions. The first play started at 7.30 pm, and it was consisted of five rounds. Every round was lasting for 3 minutes. The tables of rounds were shown by beautiful girls. My friend whose name is Mamyrhan brought a big flag of our country, and some guys drawn a placard with inscription “Kazakhstan alga” which means Kazakhstan ahead!!! Moreover, we were a unanimous team of fans! The students with loud voices were shouting during the box competition, and I hope that their words supported our team. In the break time we tried to restore our voices, and also we took a lot of pictures!!! It was really fan, and I began to feel a pride of my home country! Finally, our team became the winners with score 3:2! The final decisive point was taken by international boxer who played inside of the team of Kazakhstan. All American fans were disappointed by failure; in contrast, the fans of Kazakhstan were very happy and proud!!! I really liked this day!!!=)

  1. You did a good job.Before reading your article,I do not know much about the boxing champions.You know,one of the actors I like whose name is Will Smith successes in a film called "Ali" give me some ideas about boxing.But boxing is always a dangerous and cruel sports in my opinion.You changed my mind,and now I think it is excited to see the game!Although it is really hard for boxers to win and they may pay a lot for that,I can see the hard working,they sweat for their jobs.Maybe they love their jobs,cause every one has their own point of view.So I will also try to do something I did not do before~Thank you:)
