Against The Ropes
Killa was never one to back down from a fight. Growing up in an orphanage, trouble followed him like a shadow, and with every punch he threw, he built a reputation as the kid no one wanted to cross.
Sister Maria, his guardian, tried to keep him in line, but Killa’s fists spoke louder than words.
Then came Old Joe, the owner of a run-down boxing gym in the heart of the city.
When Old Joe gave Killa work to at the gym to keep him out of trouble, Joe saw something others didn’t—raw talent, an untamed fire that, if controlled, could make Killa more than just another street brawler. With Maria’s reluctant approval, Old Joe took Killa under his wing, not just to teach him how to fight, but to teach him when not to.
But change isn’t easy, and Killa isn’t the kind to follow rules. As he steps into the ring, he must learn to face more than just his opponents—his past, his anger, and the question of who he really wants to be.
Is he just a troubled orphan with a strong left hook? Or can he become something more?
