A bilingual boxing phrasebook. English ↔ Spanish. Slang included. No excuses.
A bilingual boxing phrasebook. English ↔ Spanish. Slang included. No excuses.
You're ringside and the corner is going off in Spanish. You're coaching a fighter whose trainer only speaks English. You're watching Canelo and the broadcast cuts to the Spanish feed. You want to know what's actually being said, right?!?
This is your guide.
Gloves On. Boca Lista. is a bilingual boxing phrasebook built for real gym use. It’s not a Spanish class, not a tourist guide. Every section runs both directions: Spanish to English, then English to Spanish. The third column is Mexi-Cali ish slang since I’m from California and Cali rules hahaha, but anyway I’m going for the working vocabulary of gyms. The notes are written in coach-y voice.
What's inside:
10 sections that cover the gym, training commands, punches and combinations, defense, body and pain, corner talk, gym culture and slang, fight night, motivation, and West Coast deep cut vocabulary. Plus three sections built specifically for following Spanish language TV broadcasts: broadcast phrases, fighter styles (fajador, pegador, contragolpeador) the words every Spanish boxing analyst uses, and all 17 weight class names.
523 entries. Quick reference card. Clickable table of contents.
Your download includes three files:
E PDF - the full premium edition, formatted for screen reading on any device. 38 pages.
The Print PDF - high-contrast, optimized for printing at home or at a copy shop. Slip it in a sheet protector. Tape it to the wall.
EPUB - for Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, or any phone reading app. This is the one you pull up between rounds.
Gym owners: a single purchase covers you and your students. This is the book you hand to every new fighter who walks in, and every parent who wants to understand what's happening in the ring.
Have fun. Be safe. Boca lista.
