Difference between having boxing skills and wishing you did
Difference between having boxing skills and wishing you did!
These two kids get into a fight in a parking lot. One of them has a decent set of boxing skills. This one goes until the onlookers stop it.
This kid definitely shows how boxing skills can be utilized effectively in ‘fair-fight’ scenario.
The other kid didn’t seem to have too many skills at all. Just because someone calls themselves a ‘street fighter’ doesn’t automatically mean they can fight, as shown in the video.
Boxing’s fundamental problem: It is too brutal for all but a few,” Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s boxing promoter, told The New York Times.
“We can’t get white middle-class kids into boxing. Let’s be honest: No parent in their right mind is going to let them come to a gym. I wouldn’t let my kid go into boxing,” Arum said in the Times article.
The demographic of those involved in boxing, and the aggressive nature of the sport are two major factors in the ongoing argument of whether children should be encouraged, or even allowed, to participate.
Former boxing world champion Evander Holyfield began his boxing training when he was 8 years old and weighed 65 pounds. He went on to become an Olympic medalist and four-time world heavyweight champion.
Your child may not ever become the heavyweight champion, but he or she can reap several benefits from the sport of boxing. Training in this sport helps children excel both physically and mentally.
Boxing offers children several mental benefits that they need in their daily lives. Improved physical health and improved performance in the ring can build your child’s confidence.
In addition, when fighting an opponent or just punching a speed bag, extreme focus is required. This can translate into better focus in the classroom.
