Fascinating. The contrast between the two. I must confess I was totally enamored with Chan and her manner. I was curious enough to watch a couple of short youtube videos of her conducting and she did not disappoint. https://youtu.be/Mt8sDAA_qJc?si=uYMLOP3Pz9R-YjnH She is wonderfully graceful in her conducting. Makes me want to see her box!
Thanks Allen for another element of boxing that is rarely seen!
Thanks, Tom. She has musical magic, that's for sure. I enjoyed her videos and I'm happy you looked at some of her work. She loves what she does. That's contagious. I was awfully pleased that she explained to the Times what boxing does for her. She turned out to be great PR for boxing in an unlikely spot.
Intriguing piece here, Allen. I would probably call it "gentrified" or "lululemonised" boxing. But nevertheless, you point out how the sport can confer its best qualities even without the intent of becoming a "real" or "genuine" boxer.
I appreciate those benefits myself, being one of those "bookish" men I mention. I spar with my coach, but I learned early on to be wary of young guy who hit really hard.

Yes, I loved her movement as she conducted. Easy to tell the music was moving through her. It did look like they put an extra step in the podium. lol
