Carlos said boxing helps him stay away from the street and he loves being a role model for the kids in the gym. Harnelle, said there are no soccer fields or the cost to pay a sport is why, making boxing a convenient option. "It has kept me away from problems and it doesn't cost much. I can practice it in any alleyway, in the living room of my house," Harnelle said. One coach who encourages the young athletes is Coach Von, a former flyweight and super flyweight Boxer. He said it's rewarding to help youngsters who otherwise could slide into trouble. "Every time a kid ends up in our hands who has behavior problems, who's doing poorly in school, and later you see that he becomes disciplined, that he manages to get ahead, it's one of the most beautiful experiences," Coach Saul said. "I see a big future for Toledo boxing," Coach Miss Tonya said. "These matches promote boxing in Toledo a lot, which is what's needed. The talent is here."
