Maybe it's the countless posters, photographs, and other boxing memorabilia lining the walls that provide Richard's boxers with the motivation they need to survive his grueling workouts. Perhaps it's his constant encouragment that helps them get through the heat, the warehouse is hot, really hot. Whatever the stimulus, they work hard - beating those heavy bags for all that they are worth. Stop by to watch champion Texas boxers and amateurs hone their skills; there was a time when you could see Jesus "El Matador" Chavez prepping for a match. If you are truly brave, Lord offers lessons. Just remember, you've been warned.
