It's 2011 and an elderly man living alone in Massachusetts finds a
box while organizing his vast boxing memorabilia collection. The
contents take his fading memory back fifty years to a gym he once
operated called A Puncher's Chance and its storied past, including
World Champion Salvador Jimenez. When a friend happens by, the old
man takes the opportunity to retell his story. Over the next
several days his surprisingly vivid recollection of the champ
enthralls his friend, as he switches from past to present and back
again. A tragedy occurs before the surprise ending that really
packs a punch. About the Author Edwin Ayala is an aspiring new
author who lives in southern Massachusetts with his wife and
family. After being stricken with an extremely rare neurological
condition, choreoacanthocytosis (or CA), after ten years he was
forced to retire in 2008 from UPS after nineteen years of service.
At age forty-three, he decided to pursue his dream of becoming an
author despite the limitations of CA. The condition is so rare that
little information on this disease is available, but here is a
brief synopsis: CA has no cure and its cause is not definitively
known. Difficult to diagnose, its symptoms include fatigue, loss of
speech, loss of weight due to involuntary biting of the cheeks and
tongue, difficulty in swallowing, and involuntary muscle movement.
