Because why not, I'm feeling bored at work on a Friday. I am thus releasing this fanfiction short story I wrote a couple of years ago in hopes of getting it into a video game fanfic anthology (FYI it wasn't accepted). It details the hidden story behind the 1987 game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Mike versus Mac
Breaking his silence for the first time in almost 30 years, Little Mac recounts The Battle of the Decade to our reporter. The story of Mike versus Mac straight from the horse's mouth! Read it all in this month's issue of Sports Illustrated!
Most of the people reading this weren’t alive during the Moon landing. Most of the people reading this weren’t alive during the Kennedy assassination. A few might be too young to remember 9/11. Somehow, history refuses to be convenient. Somehow, history happens without us being there.
I think about this as I drive through Los Angeles on my way to a certain house in Carson. Most of the people in the neighbourhood are Filipino, and I even pass Jollibee, a restaurant franchise which has almost all of its locations in the Philippines. It's one of those boring residential areas that you'll never see in a Hollywood movie. Finally I pull into the driveway of a modest home and before I even open my car door the owner comes out and shakes my hand. How are you, he asks. How was the drive?
I’ve never had an interview subject so eager to talk to me. Before I know it I’m ushered through the house and into the den. “This is where I keep my old stuff,” says my new best friend. There might have been several things on fire in that room but I don’t notice because my eyes are drawn to a poster on the wall. It’s screaming about a boxing match set for October 3, 1987. Two men - one white, one black - face off with grim determination. Mike versus Mac, it says. The Battle of the Decade.
