The trainer's eyes

This has got to be the best and most touching article I've read in a long, long time. I urge you to read it, as it says something profoundly true about life, and about being a fighter and a champion until the end.

He is as serious as anyone I have ever known. But this went far beyond serious. Teddy Atlas was delivering this story at a level that neared vital. He had to express it with solemn severity.

"She showed more class, more bravery and more dignity than some people have the ability to accumulate in a lifetime," Teddy said to me with a natural heaviness that made each descriptive land like a telegraphed, thudding body blow. "And she somehow accumulated it in less than 17 years. Enough class and bravery to last for many, many lifetimes."

She was Brianna Macaluso. And she passed away two weeks ago.
