Despite the world situation amateur boxing not only in America but here in Mexico has survived for the most part.
Bringing youngsters and boxers of all ages and ability levels through its doors.
Day after day.
Week after week.
Month after month.
Year after year.
One key thing we wanted to do here in Mexico is get more of an innate understanding of how these boxers train and develop behind the scenes.
After visiting an amateur boxing gym here in Colima tonight one thing stood out.
When you’re in boxing gyms no matter where in the world.
Whether here in Mexico.
America.
Europe.
Or anywhere.
One thing rings true.
In all of them.
Time and time again.
The time and tested traditions and values of hard work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears.
Many of the routines steadfast and universal.
Things that just work.
In any time.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it or change it.
