2007 Junior Olymics Tremaine "Midget" Williams

Here's a video that I found of 4-time National Champion Tremaine "Midget" Williams who boxes out of Ring One in New Haven, Connecticut for Coach Brian Clark. He has been ranked #1 in the United States for 4 consecutive years and I'm not sure when is the last time he was defeated. He is one of the slickest young boxers that I've seen and I want everyone to remember the name because you will see great things from Midget. Amazing as it sounds, he is a better person that he is boxer - a great "ambassador of the sport" as the saying goes.

Boxer Boys of Havana

Short from Craig Schneider about Cuban boxers from Rafael Trejo Boxing Gym. the gym is the oldest in Havana, Cuba. The Trejo gym is to Cuban boxing what certain playgrounds in New York City are to basketball -- source, sanctuary, shrine. Every day, after school, boys as young as 9 come to the Trejo to learn how to box. The instructors are former boxers, sometimes former members of the national team. The gym is run by the state now, like most institutions in Cuba, but it far predates Castro's revolution; the great Kid Chocolate himself taught at the Trejo in the 1940s, after he retired from the professional ring.
