in Marshal, Texas. He grew up on the mean streets of Houston's fifth ward
area. As a young kid, he was always into trouble. He joined the Job Corp,
and his life changed. One of the counselors noticed that he was always
into fights so he decided that George should put all of his energy into
something positive. This started his boxing career.
