Guest bullterrier Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 a 15 year old boy from Liverpool his fighting another 16 year old boy from doncaster this Friday in a three five minute rounds its saying the bout will be shown on itv4 on Saturday night just wondering what your thoughts were i personally think they shouldn't be fighting at this age i used to box at this age but this his full contact sport Quote Link to post Share on other sites
herefordian 11 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Way too young I also used to box at this age but cage fighting is a whole new ball game!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,262 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I think they should make the parents fight first, mum v's mum, then the dads, should fire the kids up nice for the main event! LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrs sweepy 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Being the mum of the 15 year old boy i say no way. But then my husband was boxing at that aged. And both my boys have done karate. My oldest wants to do kickboxing now. personally i think cage fightin is the mans sport and not for anyone under the age of 21. But then say that last week my boy can home from school with the bash in face from playing hockey. xxxxsuzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pops 19 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 safer there than in an alley like we used to do as kids. go for it. FTR my boys are only 2 and the fight like pitdogs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Chip Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 its two young lads evenly matched supervised.. let them get on with it and best of luck. its far more dangerous sending the kids to school in the morning these days but we do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest joe ox Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I doubt there will be any punchs to the head allowed at that age. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spep21 0 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Sounds good mate, if they are dedicated to it and train hard at least they aren't getting into any other stuff out there. There are also three different rules that they can be fighting under- amateur, semi pro and pro, with different degrees of contact. Either way I think it is brilliant and whether boxing or mma it takes alot to get in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuzy 1 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Is it tonight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slyfox-mal 1 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 nothing wrong with kids doing mma in my opinion much more strict rules than you may think my son does it and has done for a while now he is semi pro now and he is doing ok if your intrested here is his last fight he is the one that wins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6mtBJu_RpQ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
