Pressed for Time: Golden Glove Finals

March 25 & 26, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, 4 Penn Plaza (at W. 33rd St.), 212-307-7171; $35.

Every year, tough kids don gold and blue tank tops emblazoned with the Golden Glove logo and, if they make it through the bracket, rough each other up at Madison Square Garden. By far the cheapest ticket you’ll get to see boxers who one day might be champions, the Golden Gloves—with its audience full of family members and well-wishers—is as emotionally engaging as a title fight.

Bottom Line: See pugilism’s rising stars pummel one another for a little gold necklace and glory.
