Backflip moment filmed by @sepo.gonzalez
Every fighter has a story.
Every week I'm in the corner with a camera. Before the fight, during it, after it.
I see what the crowd doesn't. The weight cut. The quiet in the changing room. Hands getting wrapped while the stadium gets loud. The tears after — win or lose.
Nobody becomes a fighter by accident. It costs years of training, injuries, money sent home, time away from family. Most people only see the knockout.
I started Corner Approved to tell the stories behind the gloves, because every one of them deserves to be heard.
My message to the world this year: look behind the gloves. Back the people who give everything. That's how we make it a little better.— @therealmartinla, founder
