Tribalism is a double edged sword.

What an amazing story about an amazing little girl and her family! I literally shed ounces of tears watching this Documentary. It is my hope that everyone will join me and pray for Meryland, to keep her safe, healthy and always have faith in God as she pursues her dream.

[@johnsmith1474]

Top class cinematography and editing! A fine story of the power of family life to create greatness in everyone involved, including a young girl. And I don't mean boxing.

[@knw-seeker6836]

This documentary is a true gift, inspirational and with a powerful message

[@Geogaddi777]

I hope this amazing girl makes it to Paris - I know I'll be watching when she wins the gold !

[@abdullahboyerthisismylifei2170]

Keep training because you can be the best. Champion

[@lammie-858]

Excellent cinematography! Well done to everyone!

[@madihunt1277]

wow girl power writ large, beautiful spirit resides in the entire familiar. Good luck and stay safe Meryland

[@quill444]

The production, editing, writing, directing, etc., that went into making this superb video is every bit as worthy of award-winning as Meryland Gonzales herself, and I can imagine that similar stories of persistent struggle and overcoming adversity must exist in each and every one of those who worked so hard to tell this story. It makes me both proud and hopeful to be part of a nation where this could not only happen to first-generation immigrants, but also be so well told by others who no doubt share similar stories of courage and determination. - j q t -

[@JohnHoffman65]

Meryland Gonzales. Remember this name.

[@pokerface6886]

I’ll keep my eyes open. Hopefully see her in the Olympics

[@johnsmith1474]

I don't see her as an entertainment object for my future enjoyment. I presume you don't mean just that, but it is worth saying.

[@January.Junimo]

What 6 year old girl picks up boxiing gloves and cries to her parents to take her to a boxing gym? Shame on her father. Shame on the USA for allowing children to take on such injury. What an embarrassment.

[@jasonirelan-ig5fl]

And if you lose a boxing match, you'll go to the hospital.

[@isabella6408]

OmG I'm in her Wight class I'ma get beat

[@MysticGwen]

She's otherworldly 😉

[@houghtonjohn8341]

Hello 👋 how are you doing

[@paliaha706]

TOO young to have her pretty head absorb hits. Too young.

[@FrancoisLHacil]

je te mets au sol !

[@Dana__black]

Kids shouldn’t be taking blows to the head. I get it’s a sport but she will be paying the price when she’s older. 😞

[@its_ezralol]

Can’t do boxing without getting hit in the head can you?

[@Dana__black]

@@its_ezralol I know you may have a smooth brain but you can learn how to box without sparring until their reach a certain age. Read that a couple of times before you reply. I know you are slow, but this isn’t rocket science.

[@djknucklez1]

Well now we know you're one of the few that thumbs down this doc.

[@Dana__black]

@@djknucklez1 no I actually gave it a thumbs up. I appreciate the doc cuz it’s well made, but can’t help but feel a certain way, knowing what I know about CTE.

[@paliaha706]

@@djknucklez1 , boy, you're smart.
