FOUND: Showtime s over boxing enters the post network world - You Need To See This

The Benavidez Sports Boxing Gym bustles with activity in mid-November. It’s sparring day for the gym’s two namesake brothers, David and José Jr., both professional boxers who moved to the Seattle area a few years back and built an unlikely fight hub inside a nondescript strip mall near the airport.

David sits underneath the ring, his T-shirt drenched in sweat, shouting instructions to his older brother. “Come back with the right hook!” Junior keeps jabbing and striking, finishing every round with lengthy flurries of punches. “More action!”

Last weekend’s card in Minneapolis was Showtime Sports’ final boxing event.
