Another few minutes of using my fists and my so-called natural \"gift\" for fighting to raise the cash I needed to save my little brother's life.\u003cbr\u003eBut it \u003ci\u003ewasn't\u003c\/i\u003e just another fight.\u003cbr\u003eYes, I \u003ci\u003ehad\u003c\/i\u003e walked away with the prize money and yes, I \u003ci\u003ehad \u003c\/i\u003esaved my brother, but I'd also destroyed not one, but two lives.
