My guest for this episode was Ray Cuadrado. Ray is the current USA Boxing New York Metro President as well as the owner of Brotherhood boxing club where he trains many amateur boxers and one pro, his son Ray “the scientist” Cuadrado

This episode was recorded a few months back when gyms were beginning to re-open so Ray spoke to me about the ups and downs of being a gym owner during covid and the reopening process. Ray spoke to me about his own path to becoming a coach and gym owner, the unique challenges involved when coaching his own sons for competition, the benefits of the sport to young people and many of his philosophies regarding training and life generally.

Ray also shared with me his thoughts on the fundamental differences between amateur and professional boxing, the boxers of previous decades vs the modern era’s boxers, celebrity boxing matches as well as freedom in the United States
