Ben Schlater (right) punches paddles held by Sam Jones, of Glouster, during an impromptu lesson between sparring bouts in Sam’s Gym on Nov. 28. Schlater makes the hour-long trip out to Glouster at least once a week for training with Jones and sparring with other boxers. (Correction: A previous version of this photo caption misstated Jones’ name.)
