I Still Have a Soul

November 22nd, 2010 | Category: Combat Sports,Inspirational

The video below is an advertisement for HBO’s Boxing After Dark series.  Although just a commercial, the story portrayed within is one that has played out many times in real gyms around the world.  Many young lives have been saved by the gym.  I’ve personally seen kids who went from the street corner to the blue or red corner inside the ring.

If you’ve been involved in the sport in any capacity, you likely know someone whose life compares to the story portrayed below.  Enjoy…

    Cool commercial. This reminds me of a quote from Benjamin Franklin…”Energy and persistence alter all things.”

    I like the advertisement. It is motivating, about having the spirit and love for the sport.

    Great commercial. I just wish that the good fights were not only on HBO or Pay-per-view.

    The gym hasn’t only helped young people, but us ‘oldies-but-goodies,’ too.

    Nice post, Ross. Keep pushing!

    Of all the motivational videos I’ve seen about boxing or the fight game, this one hit me hard! Even though its a commercial. Brilliant!

    Saw this a while ago but thought you already had seen it, Ross. I watched this over and over the first time i saw it. Definitely good for lighting a fire under your rear and getting busy working out (or just getting to work on your dream). Piano score isn’t bad at all either
