St Louis American: "Fighting Words: Boxer from the age of five

The sport of boxing is often referred to as a 'young man's game.' The physical and mental tolls that are exacted from an active fighter force most boxers to follow similar career plans. This well-worn path involves gaining enough experience to step up to the next tier while still having enough in the tank to succeed at that higher level.
The importance of starting early can't be overstated. If a kid begins boxing at or before age 10, the slipping and countering reflex is programmed in. Those boxers learn to relax and read subtle shifts in their opponent's balance, and they appear to know what their opponent is going to do before a punch is thrown. This ability to 'feel' what's coming is not easily acquired, and late starters usually lack the effortless head movement and footwork that separate seasoned boxers from the average pallooka.

Tyrone Chatman began boxing at age five at the 12th and Park Rec Center. For the last 11 years, he has continued training with Coach Ken Loehr and his experience has helped him pick up some impressive hardware along the way.
He won the Ringside National Tournament in 2001 and has won multiple Golden Gloves titles. Next May, the Vashon High School student will travel to Little Rock, Ark., to compete in the National Golden Gloves Tournament. He's a two-sport athlete at school, with baseball and soccer both vying for his attention, but his first love remains No. 1 in his heart.
He states his goals matter-of-factly: 'Turn pro and become world champion.'
Inside the ropes, he moves effortlessly as he snaps off fluid combinations from the southpaw stance. His coach leads him through round after round of furious mitt work, but the young fighter finishes each round as strongly as he started.
There aren't any gloves resting on the knees or water breaks during his session. This young man in a young man's game has energy to burn. But his early start is responsible for his real advantage: the ability to relax in the ring and have fun on his way to further success.
Two to watch
While I was waiting for Tyrone to arrive at the gym, I was lucky to witness a hellacious sparring session between 25-year-old local pro Cornell Jackson and a future pro, 19-year-old DeAndre Latimore.
I was perched on a rusty folding chair as the two fighters stepped through the ropes and touched gloves. It was quickly apparent that checking the batteries in my tape recorder wasn't my first priority as both men took turns cutting the ring off and swinging for the fences with nasty combinations.
Latimore repeatedly lanced Jackson's forehead with a laser jab and then showed his punching power by putting together jarring combinations that had me wincing.
Jackson, who was giving up nearly 20 pounds to Latimore, showed a granite chin as he shook off the bombs and fired back effective crosses and hooks of his own. It was four rounds of non-stop action. I can't wait to see these two warriors on future fight cards.

Kansas City Star | 10/30/2004 | Making a future for history
Kansas City Star | 10/30/2004 | Making a future for history: "The sport of boxing is taking Ray Rivera Jr. to places he's dreamed of visiting.
Next week, he will travel to Russia, where he plans to represent America and Kansas City admirably with his fists.
Rivera, 17, is the local boxer who captured hearts last year when he came close to becoming the National Golden Gloves champion in his weight class. His goal is to box in the 2008 Olympics.
On Monday, Rivera will depart for the international competition in Russia.
