I grew up poor in a bad part of town. After schools the bullies would hunt me down and beat the crap out of me. One day I was chased towards a boxing gym and out of sheer desperation, ran inside. Once there, I was mesmerized. The coach must have noticed my hasty entrance and instantly knew what I was up against. He came over and shared a story I will never forget. It was then I decided boxing was for me and I've never looked back.
