Transcript

00:00It's impossible, I feel, for amateur boxing not to exist, but amateur boxing gives the

00:13kids a voice.

00:15Boxing, most people that turn to boxing come from really tough neighborhoods.

00:22In a sense, they're fighting, they're trying to fight their way out.

00:25I know that was the way it was for me.

00:28And so, boxing kind of gives them an identity, gives them life.

00:40They feel important.

00:41The neighborhood roots for them, and they come watch them train, and watch them fight,

00:46and root them on.

00:47And so, they get to feel that sense of life, and that's what we're all looking for, you

00:53know?

00:54You get to leave some room, and for some special moments, believe me, you know, you get plenty

01:02of that in this sport.

01:24There's no better contest than one man going against the other.

01:49What can you think of?

01:50I mean, you're alone, you have no help.

01:54Only your own strength and ability, that's all you have going for you.

02:03You haven't got anything else.
