No. It's grotesque.

[Craftypig]

Well, there are whispers that they eat babies in Lancashire.

Saw his earlier, and nearly posted it myself. Personally I think it's disgusting. How any parent can condone seeing their child do this and have this done to them is beyond me.

[Sqad]

Well which would you prefer, knocking "eight bells out of each other" in a properly regulated arena under medical supervision or doing worse in the back streets of some low life inner city confine?

[B00]

Errr neither sqad.

[steg]

well done the young ones, the life of a warrior is a hard one

[ladybirder]

Is it properly regulated? Are there actually doctors there? Why no head protection on 8 yr olds FGS? And my answer is the same as B00s, NEITHER. And the losing kid in the video looks as if he'd rather be anywhere but there.

[Sqad]

BOO.....wish there was a choice do you?....you may be right.

Brings back Butlins 1969, Skegness, where my eldest who was 10 years old wanted to enter the boxing competition. His opponent was a snotty nosed kid with his tattooed father holding his hand up to allow his "kid" to have some practice "swipes" I said that he could back out, but my sweet little fair haired boy elected to go in the ring against son of "Slasher"

Young sqad set onto him and made his nose bleed and had to be pulled off to save the lad from further damage.

It does them no harm.

[B00]

can't agree sqad. I'd be devastated to see this being done to a child of mine, equally as devastated to see him doing it to someone else. Can't wrap my head around your way of thinking on this one- its just wrong wrong wrong, in my opinion, sorry.

[ladybirder]

Is this a bloke thing then? There seems to be a gender divide here?

[bibblebub]

Does an ibuprofen capsule stuck up a nostril stop a nose bleed?

[Sqad]

BOO...don't be sorry, you are entitled to your opinion.....;-)

[cathfromsaron]

absolutely disgusting! the fear on that little chap's face is haunting!

bibblebub.........if we weren't on the internet we could find out.

[RATTER15]

I think it is savage, its disgusting to encourage this "sport" from children so young with no protection.
NSPCC or Social Services should step in.


I don't have a problem with boxing as it is very tightly regulated and they wear the appropriate head gear to prevent serious head injury.

This appear more like kiddies just brawling for the sake of it!!

[ladybirder]

For the entertainment of the adults? And possibly a bit of a gamble?

[ummmm]

How old do you think they are when they start boxing? They don't usually start in their 20's.

I always hated boxing, viewed it as barbaric....until I started going to it.

Still struggle to watch it on TV though....too close up for me.

[B00]

I wouldn't be happy at an 8 year old of mine doing "normal" boxing either, but surely even that's with protective head gear?

No two ways about it, this is not a sport they're showing it's a brawl, and i'd be uncomfortable watching adults do this- seeing children do it is abhorrent.

[ladybirder]

nudgescuffler m, would you really be happy with your 8 year old doing this?

[ummmm]

No....I wouldn't let them.

My cousins a boxer though...he started around 8 years old. It's something he wanted to do.
