Every Boxer Must Start Somewhere Part 1

Here's a video of a young boxer, Zimmie, at age 7 during his first few weeks in the gym. I found this while searching some archived video and I wanted to put this up so that parents can see that every boxer has to start somewhere - keep that in mind when judging your son or daughter's progress. Don't get discourage and most importantly, don't pressure them to be Floyd Mayweather two months into training. It takes hours, weeks, months and years of training for a boxer to develop into a successful boxer. A boxer's progress depends on many factors, one of which is how much time they dedicate to the sport. So as you watch the various national champions and Olympians on this page, think about the dedication and time it took for them to get there. After 4 years of training, the same boxer in this video won the National Silver Gloves Tournament.
