Boxing Match: Winter vs Spring

Join us for this season’s historic boxing match, the struggle between Winter and Spring, held here at the Round the World Arena. Though the odds are heavily in Spring’s favor, we expect both contestants to put up a good fight; from the aggressive stance of Winter, full of lunges and surprise punches, to the more calculating war of attrition waged by Spring. Play-by-play commentators Red and Roy will also be joined for a short interview by Summer.
