f ! Chronicle Profile Boxing Foi By Yvonne Anderson Staff Writer Boxing lures many young men to the ring in hopes of becoming one of those shining champions. For the majority of those who train with Whit Lowry in the gym of Reynolds Park Recreation Center, the inspirations vary from hopes of a Golden Glove title to just wanting to achieve a good showing. But Kenneth L. Allen gets his inspiration from his son, Carlos, who followed his dad's steps into the ring. They are the OnW father and son t#*m trainino tno*thi?r at th w ?- -> n wMVfttav* u v vi >V Igym. The physical contrast is striking, almost amusing, as daddy Kenneth towers over his son, a slightly built third grader.

It happened much the same way for young Carlos who had come to the ring to see his father do battle in the ring. "1 saw other kids my age and then, I saw him (Kenneth) and it just looked like fun," said Carlos. Carlos is undefeated but can't remember how many fights he has had. Kenneth, on the other hand, is 12 and five and said he hates to loose now that his son is watching him in the rinc. "On the day of the fight, we discuss the different things we plan to do, plan our strategy and things like that," Kenneth explained. "When he wins, I just feel proud of him, no matter what, but I do get incentive to win after watching him win a bout." ' Carlos, who seems to be untouched by his undefeated status, said that his father's losses don't - bother him. ? "I always hope he wins and if he loses I just say, : 'well, you tried," Carlos said while shugging his shoulders.

"She was a little nervous at first, but now I think, I she looks forward to it more than we do," Kenneth | said with a smile. For daddy Kenneth, boxing is a way to keep in shape. For his son, Carlos, it is a hobby that's fun. But for the two, it's a time to share and grow closer in their relationship.
