This sportswear packs a punch. Here Jason Lee, trainer to the stars (such as John Legend and Seal) and rising boxing star Gary Griffin float and sting their way around the canvas in Under Armour. "In boxing, the body undergoes some of the highest level of muscle atrophy due to both movement and impact," explains Raphael Peck, Under Armour's VP of Product Creation and Merchandising, "Our product keeps the athlete cool and comfortable while training and adds a technical compression fit to reduce muscle oscillation, helping the boxer to retain energy and recover quicker." Griffin, the United States Air Force Senior Airman, has high hopes of qualifying for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Take a look as Griffin and a sparring partner put the best performance apparel on today's market to the test.
