Against the Ropes

Former pro boxer Benny 'The Jet' Swanson juggles managing Panther Gym, his family obligations, and inspiring the next generation to achieve their own form of greatness.

After a summer off, Ben Alvarez comes back to Panther Gym with a newfound determination. Also, Irish expatriate Daithi Duignan looks to prove himself in the ring.
