Samoan National Boxing Team training session

Training photos of the Samoan National Boxing team. All of the National athletes are staying at local primary and high schools, Samoa is at a Saint Joes Catholic High. The Boxing squad was one of the first to show up last MMonday and start training at their new home, as you'll see they have created an efficient little training facility for them-selves and are putting it to good use in preparing for their run for gold.

Semoelo works on his nifty jump-rope skills for the camera.

Light-Heavy weight contender Vaitele is so powerful the bag doesn't even want to play.
