Could you sit there and watch your son get dominated,bloodied,and basically beat pillar to post? Would you stop the fight instantly? jump in out of instinct? or try to get your son to fight through even though if could mean his health or even his life?

Boxing might be a hobby when he is an adult.

When he competes, I get more nervous than him. I prefer (where possible) to let one of the other coaches corner him as I know my judgement will be impaired. I make sure I have nothing to do with matchmaking too, he boxes whoever the head coach decides, otherwise it would tempting to pick and choose his opponents.
I nearly stopped his last bout as his new gum shield was causing him to be sick during the fight. Several times throughout the bout, he had to cover and take a bit of a beating for a few seconds till he had stopped being sick in his mouth. However, he managed to get through it and lose by majority.
He's only 13 but says he wants to turn pro when he's older. Must say, I'm not looking forward to him fighting professionally (long way off, I know and he may well change his mind). If he does turn pro, I would certainly want to continue training him then at least I know his training would be to the required standard and he would be fully prepared.
I'm hoping by the time he's a man, I will be able to stop worrying about him so much.
