Okay, I think most of everyone is missing the POINT. He is a KID. How kids in this world box do martial arts etc? Definitely nowhere close to the billions of children out there. So basically in COMPARISON to the majority of KIDS out there he does have skill. You really shouldn't compare him to the gyms everyone else here has been in or trains in because I can also gaurantee there are also TONS of other kids out there that probably also do not have the same precision on the focus mitts. Man, why is everyone such a hard ass.
PHXBOX, u THINK u are seeing skill. What you are seeing are things a thousand kids can do on the mitts. When Ricardo Williams, Zab Judah, and ESPECIALLY Floyd Mayweather were kids like that they had mitt routines that would make your eyes bug out. I know local kids here in Connecticut that can do the things you are watching here. The kid in the video looks good, sure. but showing skills? I GUARANTEE you that he doesnt fight like that in fights.
THIS is what I am talking about and it is where u guys are off. Just BECAUSE that kid hits the mitts that way does NOT mean he has "SKILLS" you idea of skills is off on this one.... he isnt showing skill.... he is showing that he can throw fast punches, thats all.
He's showing very good hand eye cordination, good reflexes, power and yes he's showing SKILL on da Mitts, and the ability to throw a proper punch. Oh and pretty good balance. I think I even saw some handy foot work too. So yea I guess ur right he has no skill....In Boxing.....LOL

thats my point. it is NOT freakish to see a kid his age hit the mitts like that. man, go to the national junior olympic tournament and watch those kids. there are ones that woul dput that kid to shame
I have to agree with Iceman only because he has experience and been around boxing for a long long long time and has actually seen lil kids and trained them boxing.
Other people are just talking because they havent seen other little kids train, I for one have never seen any 11 year old hit the pads that fast! and I have been to boxing gyms in LA and seen the young kids preparing for their amatuer bouts.
Hitting those pads take alot of focus thats why they call them focus mitts guys so yes the young chap is impressive!
but iceman wasnt hating on this young boy! but he is open to elaborate on boxing this is an open discussion forum.
I have seen some young kids who dont even know how to do the focus mitts that fast and still whoop ass in their fights here at the La boxing club.
Like Bruce lee said Boards dont hit back.
but all in all the kid was very impressive! he has good hand and eye cordination
Also Iceman is a freaking traineer! I been to tons of boxing gyms and you can be as fast as that boy and the trainer still wont train you! Trainers been around the game for so long they can just tell if you have it...They care more about hardwork and to see if you want it more,cause the saying is "All the talent in the world and gonna do you a bit of good unless you got the hunger"
You guys make me laugh go to any gym boxing coachs are skeptical as hell! go tell them to their faces that they are hating, boxing is a rough sport, just cause a kid can tear up the focus mitts doesnt really impress these guys.
Phoenix, my man... you seem agitated LOL That your son in the video? Yeah, you are right... we should comehere and NOT put comments or elaboration on any posts. Lets just see what we se and don't mention anything other than something that has to do with exactly with only what is written or seen on each original post (that way Pheonix can have a guide to go by and he wont have to get confused). I'm down with it.

How did u know it was my son? Dam cant keep no secrets in here.
:loser:
it's hilarious and sad at the same time to see people refusing to acklowledge that the little kid has skill..
Come on! He's a blown up Bantamweight! He'll be exposed! :)
lol seems to me that some people have something personal against that kid.
no shit...jsut appreciate what he does and leave it at that. He's got skilz...more than 90% of the schmucks(me included) on this site, anyways.
Whats with the beef?
Ahh all I see is a kid hitting the mits :confused:
Impressive? Well sure. Anything out of this world? Hell No.
Damn when I was a kid I could do consecutive roundhouse kicks, moved as fast as the kid in the video, and could run miles.
He is just a kid, all that speed and reflexes comes to him naturaly.
Can every kid do that? No...but many kids could if they have a natural talent for fighting and had some practice.
So I really dont see where all the "WOW"s are coming from.
