pack a punch #2

こんな試合もあったのですね。梅チャン,多義語のpackはここでも何度も取り上げましたが,復習のつもりで目的語にpunchをとるpackについて解説してください。そもそもなんでpackなんでしょうか。(UG)

The boxing British mother packing a big punch in Tokyo

On a night that an almost entirely male group of expat business executives fought for boxing honours, it was Elizabeth Taylor, a mother of three, who punched her way to overall victory.

Mrs Taylor, 41, a total novice before the event, was judged to be fighter of the night at the black-tie charity competition in Tokyo recently.

She already had her work cut out looking after sons Jaden, six, Kyle, four, and Reece, two. But when she decided to take to the boxing ring she said she committed to the challenge "110 per cent" and completed hours of gruelling training on top of her childcare commitments.

To her surprise, she was voted the fighter of the night – beating her Japanese opponent Maya Nijima in the ring and then being judged to have put on a better performance than the seven male victors that night.

“The fight was brilliant. I was really relaxed and the highlight for me was that my dad was there, on his first visit to Japan from Bournemouth to watch me,” said Mrs Taylor.
