Subject: Re: Under 18 fighting Author: James Speight [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:47:32 10/10/10 Sun In reply to: Mgoody 's message, "Under 18 fighting" on 20:39:37 08/07/10 Sat I agree alot of what you are saying, and maybe I am biased a little our team just finished our year of MMA in VA with a 10-0 record. Just seem to work better there. we haven't had anyone cut yet, and the blood on the gloves are of the opponents. but I really do see what you are saying and making it all pro-fighters sound cool too James Speight [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Under 18 fighting Author: Neal Weaver [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:32:35 10/11/10 Mon Just because your guys are not getting cut, doesnt eliminate the risk. I tend to think in terms of what is best for all fighters, instead of what is just best for my guys. Fighting in Va, is certainly best for my guys regarding finances, rules, and refs seem alot more competent there. We have only had 4 fights with their unified rules, and we won them all, they were all in one night. But, one kid who fought one of my guys got his ass beaten to a pulp with the elbows, granted having fought myself, and running a gym I know everyone takes it upon themselves when they decide to compete.....but I still felt a bit sorry for the kid, he had no idea what he was getting into. Doesnt change the fact I want to see amatuer fighters not take undue risks to be able to compete, esp if its for free. More folks need to think in terms of what is best for the sport rather than what is best for themselves/teams. That said I can see where trying to make sense to the boxing authority could wear anyone down. Hell I am done trying. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
