You're ready to take the hit

Imagine your coach is yelling : "left guard up, left guard up!"
You are still a little lost : he is right handed, has a good right hook; But his left is not that good. you know it. They drilled this into your brain before the match and you've experienced it through the first two rounds. Vision, yes your vision is blurry; you must have gotten a big bruise around your eye. Bleeding? ah for sure! Still trying to focus and cover your face. Left guard god damn it, left guard up!
You're not thinking about your strategies anymore! you want to go home, have a cup of coffee and sleep for the rest of the day!
What if you die in this match. your ribs are broken, you can feel it! and before you get to the point to realise what's left and what's right, you're facing the ring's floor and all you can see is dancing ladies in red, showing off their talent on the white stage!
