Description

Several men practice punching in what appears to be a boxing gym in Cuba. The men, mostly shirtless with boxing shorts, stand facing forward in a staggered line. All of them are in boxing stance, their fists clenched and forward. The man in the foreground has tanned skin and is tattooed. Behind him is a man with darker skin. Most of them wear boxing wraps on their hands. Light enters from an open-air section of the gym. The walls have peeling paint. The setting appears to be an urban neighborhood on a bright, sunny day. The camera captures a medium shot at eye-level, offering a clear view of the subjects and their surroundings.
