Here is Zimmie (red headgear) during his first sparring session. He has recent bouts on this page for comparison. Again, this is a great example of how far a boxer can come if he or she dedicates the time and has a great coach. Zimmie went on the win the National Silver Gloves Tournament in 2008. Parents, understand that boxing is the hardest sport there is out there (see ESPN's study at http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/sportSkills ). If you have or will have a son or daughter in the sport, it takes time to learn the craft. Don't get discouraged by slow progress and remember that every boxer must start somewhere. Give it time.
