So when yuor kid wants to try boxing its ok because he wants to do it. When I tell you my kid wants to try boxing it is not ok because I am pushing him into doing something you don't think he wants to do? Got it
Everytime he starts wrestling his sister we have to tell him no hitting may as well teach him how to throw a punch correctly.
Brian my lad asked me if he could do it because his friends at school are going. I then told him what it would be like and that I used to box- he had no idea up until that conversation. I then spoke to Swifty who is going to get him into what is probably the best Amateur boxing club in Britain- I know Sean Murphy one of the coaches there- AJ's amateur coach, so they are in good hands but its more about the discipline and respect boxing teaches you for me. Thats how I KNEW you had never boxed. Real boxing in a ring is a great leveller Brian. EVERYONE fights afraid at first. EVERYONE gets pinged. EVERYONE gets dropped. Its how you react to that that matters. Its forms character. Backbone. Its like the Josh thing. You ran your mouth for ages as you always have and then came up against someone who called you out. Now if you'd turned up and fought even I would have given you props as while I despise you and have seen many like you get livened up quick, I would ave to say you did it. Once you ran to the authorities and the gym it was clear you are a coward. A mouth. I don't believe anyone here would be bothered by you at all.
If you box you learn to stand for something. My son may be great at it. Either way he is choosing ot do it without a prompt from me. Which shows we are bringing up a young man who has balls and backbone. And that will do for me.
