Underdogs

Underdog is the name of which one affixes the outsider, the one who does not end up the favourite. In the boxing business, there is a lottery that sometimes benefits obscure fighters who find themselves up against legends. Modern versions of David and Goliath, these unbalanced jousts have inspired movies like Rocky, whose plot is drawn from the life of Chuck Wepner. Between epic poems and newspaper clippings that a fan pins to his walls, Underdogs is the poem that tells of these moments of history, moments made up of fury and heroism.
