Eyeing down the opponent

He doesn't look that scary, but I'm still not getting in the ring with him. Can't tell how tall he is. Imagine you are five feet eleven and then he stands up and he's six foot four. Yeah that would not be fun. At least you can keep hitting him in the gut.

I got the gold

Sweat and glory went into this medal
