Speedy

Speedy in this video has been involved with the 274 boxing club. He has made slow progress in getting out of the gang scene but has found a purpose in life through boxing and competitions where he is able to be recognized positively for his talents. The government may do all they can to support gangs, but unless they continue to fund youth workers like Sully and the 274 Youth core, they will not have a great enough influence on those young people who continue to look for a place of identity.
