AUDIO SLIDESHOW: Spadafora's comeback
Life outside the ring, with no gloves on, with no referee, with no corner man to shout instructions, with no crowd chanting “Spaddy”, with no single-minded goal to focus on - that’s been the hard part for Paul Spadafora of Pittsburgh.
“It’s so easy to let (yourself) get led back into the bad things. I’ve had a problem with alcohol my whole life. I go to AA meetings and they help me. For real, it’s one day at a time. This boxing ain’t nothing. It ain’t nothing ... the real fight is outside. The drinking, that’s the real fight for me. The boxing ain’t nothing, I love to do this.”
