Kickboxer Eddie Jackson talks with Rick Thorne about learning to fight, the anxiety and pressure athletes carry, and the difference between amateur smokers and licensed pro fights. He explains why you can't 'play fight' when one shot can change your life, and tells the story of his last kickboxing fight at 45 against a 23-year-old, which was ruled a draw.
