Miss Me Again

In the twelfth installment of the 'Fighting Blood' series, Gale Galen finds himself caught between the violent expectations of the boxing ring and the domestic pressures of a burgeoning romance. Based on the serialized stories by H.C. Witwer, the narrative follows Galen as he navigates the predatory world of low-stakes prizefighting, where his trainers, played with frantic energy by Kit Guard and Al Cooke, often prove to be more of a liability than an asset. The plot hinges on a pivotal bout where Galen must choose between a 'sure thing' payout and his personal integrity, all while attempting to reconcile with Judy, the woman who demands he hang up the gloves for good. It is a story of grit filtered through the lens of 1920s slang and slapstick, capturing a specific moment in American culture where the athlete was becoming the new folk hero.
