Tough Love

May 10, 2016

As they wait for their boxing coach Nick Baries, to pick them up for practice, 'Man-Man' and 'Juicy' talk amongst themselves following a quick game of basketball with their cousin, March 17, 2016. There are only six days left until the brothers compete in their first title championship at the Indianapolis Golden Gloves tournament.

Tough Love

After spending over two decades in and out of prison, James Davis’ dream of success was deferred. But when he adopts his two nephews he also receives a chance to redeem his life.

Alyssa Pointer’s story follows the Louisville, Kentucky trio as they use the sport of boxing to provide discipline and goals that all three can build upon.
