Blackburn boxing ---Episode 1

Blackburn Boxing is the story of the legendary boxing program started by Bill Douglas, father of former Heavyweight champion, James "Buster" Douglas. Douglas' successor, trainer and coach, Mike Johnson, continues to sacrifice time, money, and relationships to train Columbus youths, many of whom come from challenging life circumstances. Ultimately, Johnson teaches them as much about the art of overcoming as he does about the art of pugilism.

Thanks for the feedback! Mike is a real good guy and so is Ivan. I followed them around since the beginning of last year so I have a bunch of stuff that I shot of them. Yeah, Donald Anderson is a monster! He turns 17 this year so he will be fighting in the open division. I've seen him give pro fighters problems! I'll tell mike and everyone else at the center that you said hey.

Thanks for checking out my vid and for the rating. Real talk, believe it or not, your "THE THUG MENTALITY" vid is indirectly responsible for me making the movie. Thanks for the inspiration.
