    What was the story behind this video? I've seen it before as well, it's a great one.

    I ran across this guy by chance, CP, one afternoon with my videographer, Jim Edwards, killing time before shooting sparring and interviews at the La Brea Gym in Los Angeles.

    He was about 40, sweating against the far wall, sandwiched between two others, drumming on a speed bag. He continued hitting the bag answering how he felt about boxing.

    Never got his name, though he said I could show it. Hope somebody brings it to his attention...think he'll be very proud.
