The fight scenes with the kids are really well done. The younger brother is so intense (lol at his face at 6:00) and you can see the dad living and dying with every jab.
I follow Ghanaian media all the time, I knew the people of Bukom were obsessed with boxing but I didn't know they manufactured world champions repetitively. Good job on this documentary Vice. Opened my eyes.
any other fighters tear up when they saw richard commey say he just wanted to win it for his family, that moment was deep just like all of us fighters he just wants to make it to make his family proud
I'm Ghanaian who was born in Canada and I didn't that the GA tribe liked boxing so much. These kids training are gonna be beasts when they grow up. I wonder if my parents tribe the Ashantis like Boxing this much as well.
Africa breeds the strongest people on this planet. So much respect and admiration for the culture within Bukom. Everybody could learn something from this documentary, it is truly a compelling film. Well done, VICE.
Wow.. Many young fighters in Bukom trying to get a big title shot to fight In Vegas, Meanwhile, I sat and watched this awesome and motivational documentary on my android in my bedroom here in Vegas
+Shawn C Gomez This guy delivered, but I wonder how different would've it been for a person of any other race. If people in Bukom don't like them, It would've been hell of a beating, boxing-style. Amazing documentary nevertheless, and very motivating.
If I spoke for God to bless all the Black Stars that would include Witch Doctors and so forth and so on Genius. Before you address a King bemindful my time is to be used wisely.
+The Thrill So you want God to bless the witch doctors and also the players, with their wicked, manipulative Juju practicing ways? BTW, what "King" would be spending his time on TH-cam addressing brief fly-by remarks?
VICE please do more documentaries like this that depict the real human condition we can all relate to even if we like or don't like the particular occupation . Nice interviewer and lovely story and I love boxing no sport as more aspects of life in it than it(relatively speaking off course there's Muay Thai etc
Amazing documentary! Love ur camera work too. Idk about us producing the most world champs per capita tho, what's ur source on that? I could find it. Nonetheless, I can't thank u enough. Oyuwaladɔng!
Had to rewind that fight scene. What a perfect way to end a moving series. Does anyone know the name of referee, though? I've seen him in a few fights but never knew his name.
How can this guy say it's a wonder that there are so many champion boxers coming from there. They're athletically gifted africans who don't have luxury of doing most activities, so of course if they train boxing for half of the day they're gonna become great.
These are the type of stories we love
This is the best documentary ive seen come out of vice in a long time
raw emotion when he cried n said he wanted to do it for his parents that's how I feel too they done soo much for me
I am from ingleshie alata british accra jamestown & bukom boxing is in our blood we are the true epitome of african warriors
The fight scenes with the kids are really well done. The younger brother is so intense (lol at his face at 6:00) and you can see the dad living and dying with every jab.
Wow what a documentary, this was some great stuff right here.
I follow Ghanaian media all the time, I knew the people of Bukom were obsessed with boxing but I didn't know they manufactured world champions repetitively. Good job on this documentary Vice. Opened my eyes.
Got chills towards the end, I'm not a big fan of boxing by any means but this documentary was amazing.
amazing doc vice can do no wrong
I cried after this episode... like no bs...
Fitness is like church to them, its amazing
+Gabriel Rosales more like this happens before church... there is no replacing church in ghana
any other fighters tear up when they saw richard commey say he just wanted to win it for his family, that moment was deep just like all of us fighters he just wants to make it to make his family proud
Very great documentary, what sets this particular documentary apart from the rest is that it is genuine. Keep up the original Vice.
Thank you sooooo much for this!!!
I'm so happy he won!!
+conejo nejo spoiler alert
Yea bro thats not really cool...
Are you guys idiots or something? you read the comments before you watch the video? thats on you, dumbasses
i have a feeling this is the beginning of the best sports documentary series to ever grace the public view
Just shows you that with hard work, anything is possible. no matter where you are in this world
Keep videos like this one coming Vice! Loved watching it!
I love the sport of boxing and it's awesome to see my African brothers in a positive light
First documentary Ive watched thats had me on the edge of me seat in a long time
If Ghana had more funding in boxing and soccer they would be among the best in the world.
richard commey is someone that deserves fame n fortune and will be an excellent champ, its great to see humbling, amazing people succeed.
I'm Ghanaian who was born in Canada and I didn't that the GA tribe liked boxing so much. These kids training are gonna be beasts when they grow up. I wonder if my parents tribe the Ashantis like Boxing this much as well.
Yeah, all the boxing houses and the great boxers are from Gã areas.
Ashantis don't do boxing & cannot fight
What a treat to see Azumah Nelson. What a legend!
one of Vice's best documentaries
Damn this was a good documentary!!! Standing ovation!
vice really out did itself on this one, bravo.
Proud to be Ghanaian and have family in Bukom!!!
I just love how the boys' father chose to speak Ga even tho he can probably speak English. Wɔ ka ha ni Blɔfo a replace wiemɔ kraa

Africa breeds the strongest people on this planet. So much respect and admiration for the culture within Bukom. Everybody could learn something from this documentary, it is truly a compelling film.
Well done, VICE.

Wow.. Many young fighters in Bukom trying to get a big title shot to fight In Vegas, Meanwhile, I sat and watched this awesome and motivational documentary on my android in my bedroom here in Vegas
Champions in the making, much love, and respect to the people of Ghana:)

SO emotional.
phenomenal
i really dig the fact they had a black man do the interview thats was a nice touch
+Shawn C Gomez This guy delivered, but I wonder how different would've it been for a person of any other race. If people in Bukom don't like them, It would've been hell of a beating, boxing-style. Amazing documentary nevertheless, and very motivating.
Alex_P what exactly do you mean bro.
Well he's also African, that's Hugh Masekela's son
I think this video just changed my life.
This is my town where I was born Bukom
Sal Masekala? I dig that, Hes great at this kinda stuff
Boxing aside Now this is what a successful African community can look like..
Great video! 14:09 mayweather walks out with justin beaver this dude gets carried out like a king...had me rolling...fantastic vid!
Good luck to Commey!
God bless all my Black Stars
And their witchdoctors.
If I spoke for God to bless all the Black Stars that would include Witch Doctors and so forth and so on Genius. Before you address a King bemindful my time is to be used wisely.
+The Thrill So you want God to bless the witch doctors and also the players, with their wicked, manipulative Juju practicing ways?
BTW, what "King" would be spending his time on TH-cam addressing brief fly-by remarks?
great job on this documentary..now this the vice we like
VICE please do more documentaries like this that depict the real human condition we can all relate to even if we like or don't like the particular occupation . Nice interviewer and lovely story and I love boxing no sport as more aspects of life in it than it(relatively speaking off course there's Muay Thai etc

How can this guy say it's a wonder that there are so many champion boxers coming from there. They're athletically gifted africans who don't have luxury of doing most activities, so of course if they train boxing for half of the day they're gonna become great.
