    The distance, in boxing, refers to the full number of rounds in boxing matches. It is frequently used in the expression "going the distance," which means fighting a full bout without being knocked out. If a match goes longer than 20 minutes without a knockout or other decision, then it is either a draw or a decision on points.

    In title fights, this is called "the championship distance," which today usually means 12 rounds (See history section), though there were some ten-round championship matches. Non-title fights can be of any length under 12 rounds but are typically 10 rounds or fewer. Women's championship boxing is ten rounds or fewer, each round lasting 2 minutes instead of 3 for men.

    History

    In the early days of bare-knuckle boxing, there was no limit on the number of rounds and so matches would be fought to a conclusion (i.e. with a knockout or tap out). For example, the match between Simon Byrne and James 'Deaf' Burke in 1833 lasted 3¼ hours. Subsequently, laws and rules were passed to prevent such protracted bouts. When John L. Sullivan made boxing under Queensbury rules with gloved hands popular, his matches were of a pre-determined length and the referee would decide the winner if they went the distance. If a match reached the prescribed limit without a formal result then the result would be "no-decision", though one boxer might be considered the winner by popular acclaim—a "newspaper win." To regulate such results better, official judges were appointed to award points so that technical winner could be determined. For a period, titles in many US states could not be lost if the match went the distance.

    The Distance (The Walking Dead)

It also features the first appearance of Eric, a recruiter for Alexandria and Aaron's boyfriend.

    The episode focuses on the group's being introduced to Aaron, who promises the group would be valuable additions to his community, although his encouraging and optimistic outlook convince the group that he is a threat. Michonne strives for a safe haven and believes in the opportunity Aaron's community offers. The group take a different route than expected for safety precautions, which in turn causes multiple dangerous threats along their journey.

    The Distance

    by: Burns Out Bright

    There's a train out in the distance, destination still unknown
    Far away where no one's waiting, so far from home, so far from home
    There's a rose outside your window, the first snow is falling down
    Like that lonesome whistle blowing
    I keep on going, keep on going...
    Chorus:
    Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
    You are the light
    In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
    I'll never give up the fight
    I'll go the distance
    There's a thread that runs between us pulling 'cross this great divide
    It's only there for the believers
    Don't stop believing, don't stop believing
    Chorus:
    Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
    You are the light
    In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
    I'll never give up the fight
    I'll go the distance, I'll go the distance
    There's a neverending story that begins with you and I
    Like the rose outside your window
    Don't let it die, don't let it die
    Chorus:
    Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
    You are the light
    In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
    Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
    You are the light
    In my mind I see your red dress and my arms are reaching through the night
    I'll never give up the fight
