Undefeated: Fightland Specials
Спорт
Aspiring pro boxer Terrance Dumas was a drug dealer, an addict, and a gang leader until he lost everything he had in Hurricane Katrina.
We caught up with “Tank” in Little Rock, Arkansas to witness his daily struggle, as he hopes to improve his life inside and outside of the ring.

This guy deserves everything and more, I wish him nothing but the best in life. He should be seen as a role model for guys out there that are going through what he wen't through in his younger years. You can always change, don't ever give up!

Best of luck to you man!!

Some of the comments here are just ignorant and some are because people just really don't know the sport. A professional heavyweight fighter is a fighter 200 pounds +. Look it up. We sign contracts to fight guys and when Tank show up they literally back out or don't show up. Tank is a fighter and will fight WHOever, WHENever... Therefore if/when the guy who SIGNED A CONTRACT back out, the promoter will and/or should make every attempt to secure him another person to fight. Unfortunately that doesn't always happen and when it did happen Tank had no idea who he will be fighting until sometimes the night of the weigh in. So I write this to EVERYONE who have commented on this post: To those of you who have expressed your support, admiration and compliments, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To those of you who have made negative remarks, comments or whatever you choose to call it, I say this Out of respect for my husband and our family PLEASE KEEP YOUR NEGATIVITY TO YOU

+wendalyn dumas our family has been through a lot and we have overcame even more than that. This documentary is real, it's not what you see on this "reality tv",, it's REAL.. And it's very heartfelt to me. I watch my husband train for fights day in and day out to fight. He is a true fighter in and out the ring. And honestly he doesn't care who he fights, he just loves to fight and does a good job at it. There are a lot of negativity spoken on here, about this guy, that guy hell Tank just wanted to fight. We had supporters that bought tickets and traveled with us on occasion. He got tired of his supporters getting disappointed because the guys he signed to fight (with these called better records)!was the ones backing out. Yeah they were the ones looking for "the bumbs" to fight,, then they find out there's no B in Tank! He never backed or turned down nothing! And again a heavyweight is a fighter that is 200 pounds +! Thanks for those of you who understand and show support!

@@wendalyndumas257 Respect to you, your family and especially Terrance. I've just begun to take kick boxing and boxing seriously since last year and watching your family persevere and Terrance fight has motivated me to train harder and improve. I hope I can become a respectable fighter like your husband in the future. Thank you guys for letting us take a look into your life. Give Terrance my gratitude and tell him to never give up for me and everyone else cheering him on!
Respect
He could be a fill in for the R&B singer Tank.
Jesus. Ain't that some shit? All that hard work and dedication to a sport, and then you can't even get a quality opponent. Hang tight, Terrance.
respect
Daaaayum that's a fine ass man 😚 hope he goes far in boxing, he's earned it.
Your run reminds me of Gervontai and idk he's pretty fast so that's a compliment

Good luck dude
Looked like a young Tyson in the thumbnail behind the chair
He need to come out to l.a...theres ple to of fighter's out here....
He smashed that Lil guy towards the end
that dude he fought was not a heavyweight but I hope ole boy gets to where he wants to be #respect
Hope he makes it
ive heard many fighters say its so difficult being a fulltime father and fighter to compete at the highlest levels
Go my friend and take the World
I hope this guy gets a real shot. Has been through a lot and persevered through so much.
I respect his grind and overcoming the obstacles God placed in front on him I hope he gets his chance to show his talents and win in life 💯
The fight game is just like the NFL nothing's guarantee
This is really the way it is in the boxing world when you don't have the big bucks behind you! What would be great for many loving the sport of boxing, is to see his story on the Silver Screen with Will Smith or Denzel Washington playing the part! Hopefully someone out there can suggest this to Hollywood.
"my life is perfect" should be the tittle of the video
Is bro from Arkansas ? Not too many ppl from the 501
I haven't been able to find any fight records after 2014 for Terrance Dumas and his fights have been against opponents with the following records. 5-1 (Same kind of opponents) 2-8 1-1 0-0 3-17 0-4 4-10 I'm glad he's doing something he dreamed of but to make him seem like an amazing boxer is just disrespectful. If they're going to focus on amateur-pro boxing, why not make this about someone like Isiah Thomas or Murat Gassiev both of which are undefeated and have a much better track record.
Idk if you're still boxing Terrance but you need to get out if little rock. You want more fights then go to florida, cali, NY, Philly..You're not gonna find a lot of fights around you in the south or heavyweights like you. Wish the best to you though.
Why he do Reggie like that 😂😂😂
They really need to expand to different states
why is his name spelled "terence" on the paper he is holding up at 10:15 ?
Any update? Im not seeing anything after 2017
does anybody know the name of the first song?
what is soundtracks used pls i must knowww
Sounds to me this dude needs to get better promoters. How many opponents backed out?
the best fighter is the one who never has to fight
what is the name of that song at 8:52?
anyone knw wht tha song is at 10:05?
the guy he fought at the end of the video isn't even in the same weight class as him lolol

That guy in the end is like 3 weight classes below him
His last name is Dumas.... Tank is wrong, you should have been called "The Count" ...Terrance "The Count" Dumas... .“All human wisdom is contained in these two words - Wait and Hope” -The count of Monte Cristo
Damn look at his BoxRec, that guy only fought bums his entire 7 fights
looks like one of the Morris twins out of the NBA..much respect here tho
Damn man they got a crack head off the street for the last fight and they didnt even get one nearly the same weight
looks like Tyson from the side
