Forget Rocky Balboa. Who would have ever guessed 7's Jackie Johnson has the Eye Of The Tiger. In tonight's main event, Living It Up is throwing some serious punches. Jackie is stepping into the ring for a swing at Boxing.

(WSVN) -- We are living it up at South Florida Boxing. I'm here on South Beach, just got the gloves on, getting into the ring for the first time and getting ready to learn how to box.

Jackie: "What do you like best about boxing."

Lewis: "That actual teaching to take somebody that never fought before to a level he wanted to be."

Jackie: "What made you get into boxing?"

Lewis: "I was 13 years, 77 Rocky came out and that's where I started."

Jackie: "Obviously, not the best at this, lets see how it's really done."

Jackie: "My hands have been taped, I've got the gloves on, Lewis is here with me, he trains the pros, now he's ready to train me, lets get started."

Jackie: "What are you going to be teaching me today?"

Lewis: The stance and combinations."

Lewis: "Your main concern here is protect your body with the elbow , now your head is coming down."

Lewis: "See you're already starting to look like a fighter."

Jackie: "Did you hear that."

Jackie "Hitting at Lewis' glove."

Lewis: "All right, that was sweet that was sweet."

Jackie: "How am I doing so far?"

Lewis: "That was good."

Jackie: "It was all because of that mean face I made."

Jackie: "Are you scared yet. I smile when I kick butt."

Jjackie: "It'll be partly cloudy with a chance of showers."

Jackie: "And I am literally beat. That's what it's like Living It Up at South Florida Boxing. A big thanks goes to Lewis Loggerman, Pro Boxing Trainer,

This time, Jackie's heading to the Miami Sea Aquarium.
