Review of White Collar Boxing


Are you ready to head to a New York gym for a workout with a boxing trainer?
That's where Thomas Grove takes the listener as 2 Wall Street bankers prepare for a grudge match. As the reporter and trainer point out, this is about the men's personal and professional lives. Actualities refer to the outside world, but all the sound and related action take place in the gym.
Grove gives a glimpe into the fascination with fighting (street or more organized) some Americans have.

The narrative is too deliberate. I would have liked some variation in the pace of delivery, even a little blow-by-blow during the match.
The story comes full circle, from training to the final bell and comments from the winner ("HE should have won") to the loser ("I want a rematch").
