This is a video I made of my local boxing Gym Gwynfi Boxing Club.
I would aprecate if anybody with a YOUTUBE account could leave a few positive comments about the boys in the video to encorage them and give them confidence.

Cheers saddos.
Nice vid mate - looks like there is some talent down there ;)
Nice video mate, I have no technical knowledge at all so can't really comment but I thought the Asian/Indian looking lad looked quite useful, good handspeed.
Nice to see someone is doing something positive in Wales. Just the 10 second intro with the village under the hills was enough to depress the hell out of me and makes you see why they have such a problem in Bridgend, it's a miserable, windswept, sodden, depressing place.
Only kidding :p

Great video. Investment in the human kind is not lost on good people after all! Great potential on the talent level in the video. Especially factor in that some of them are that young, but quite relentless and dedicated to their craft.

Thanks again.
Beutiful country you live in. As long as those kids stay dedicated and have a trainer keeping his eye on them, they can accomplish what ever they want :) long as they stay off the streets and keep in the gym.
briliant video porky - that kid is fast I agree and some of the others looked hard workers too - thats what's needed ;) (ok and talent!)
Show them the comments on here mate aswell as youtube
And tell that blonde kid who appears half way through in a photo to get a hair cut ;D

I think it's awesome what your doing! Not only for the kids but for the sport. Keep up the good work and i will be posting on Youtube.
Good stuff, great to see some young guys who are really into this sport, posted a comment on youtube just now. The first kid shown hitting the bag looked really good imo. Good for you putting them out there, hope things keep moving along for these kids.
Nice video Porkypara.Looks like our future is in sound hands and minds.Wish them the best of luck,This guidance will suit them well for the future.Mighty proper of you for representing them well. ;D
