“From the first day I got here at Rise Boxing I saw this kid and he caught my attention. I saw him training hard, he impressed me. Today I saw him sitting in the lobby, doing nothing, so I told him to come train with us. He really packs a punch. Only 12 years old. How sick is that?” said Rountree.
The boy enjoyed the experience. He was impressed by Rountree's speed and said he had fun. (see video below)
“30 seconds or less, he got faster. And it was fun,” he said enthusiastically.
