The tough, resolute visage of Head Coach Angelo Marino, who is teaching one of his boxing and social justice classes, yields to a (relatively) friendly grin as we recognize each other. As I would soon find out, this commanding red box is the round timer; reminiscent of the color scheme found in traffic lights, green means that the round is starting, yellow that there’s only thirty seconds left in the round, and red is stop. The fighters of true dedication do not anticipate the red: they can’t wait for the green.
