Norfolk Junior Olympic Boxing - Norfolk, Virginia


Title:
Norfolk Junior Olympic Boxing - Norfolk, Virginia

Description:
This is a "J.O." tournament, JO meaning boxers ranging in age from 8-16 years. This is the first leg of the tournament, which means u start on the state level, u move to the regional level, u move to the national level. AND FOR THE BOXERS, IF THEY WANTED IN, ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS TRAVEL TO NORFOLK.... Robert Matney President of Virginia Local Boxing Committee - all the clubs throughout the state, from Roanoke to Arlington to Richmond to here throughout all of Hampton Roads, they come in from everywhere. SOME CAME FROM AS FAR AWAY AS ARLINGTON, VA Liam Thornhill 13 years old Boxing for 2 years -it was a long drive, about 3 hours, yeah FOR MOST OF THE BOXERS, THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TIME AGAINST AN OPPONENT THAT ACTUALLY FOUGHT BACK..... NATS--FIGHTING Robert Matney -These kids can't punch air forever and they need to learn that competitive spirit and good sportsmanship. Chris Alexander 15 years old/welterweight Norfolk -it feels good to see who's the best out of all Liam Thornhill 13 years old Boxing for 2 years -I'm a bit nervous, but its ok. Gloria Peek -for these kids it means everything. Even the ones that its their first bout, ok, they look, I mean some of them train for months and months to get here. WITH 85% OF BOXING TIME ACTUALLY SPENT TRAINING FOR MATCHES, WHY DO THESE KIDS CHOOSE THIS SPORT OVER MORE POPULAR SPORTS LIKE BASKETBALL, BASEBALL OR FOOTBALL? Mohsen Mohammed 10 Years Old Arlington Boxing Club 54:04 I really like Muhammed Ali and I thought it would be pretty cool so I started doing boxing. Chris Alexander 51:57 when I be in school, I'm like, a bully, so my teacher told me I need to start boxing, so I started boxing. Our numbers are growing and there's been a really big push to get it out there what usa boxing is all about. Its all about sportsmanship, dedication, discipline, the kind of core values we're looking for to bring out kids up into adults.
