    These lads they got don't want to be boxers. They just wanna be on tv. **** them, they don't deserve the attention.

    They should come down normal boxing clubs and pick out average 13 or 14 year olds, who come from broken homes in ****ty areas of Britain, who dedicate themselves relentlesly, and sacrifice themselves. - instead of a load of pissed up chavs. The young lads from my club, stay outta trouble at school, say no to there pals who are out most nights drinkin and smoking puff. There the ones who deserve training and a visit for one of Boxings biggest celebs.

    The kids in my gym said that tonight too.



    The show was interesting though, it was nice to see Khans home life. He has a nice family - i liked it when they hit the gym "no swearing and no blashpheming!" ... christ, everyone in my ABC would be thrown out automattically, including my coaches.

    I just think Khan could have focussed his attention better on the kids.
    the first thing they should have done is not go to bars and get drunk. It even didnt look they have tried to not go there. I never though someone would be drinking for hours too.

    as for Khan no paying so much attention it pretty hard to deal with some sitaution like this because they must want to helpl themselves.

    You know when the guy got pissed and didnt contiune to train it was shameful because all of these guy are the same sitaution as him and maybe worst. and he left him.

    I think Paddy and the Leed United fan is may be leaving

        haha, they only drank for 6 hours! Thats not tooo long.

        They definately should have atleast made an effort to stay out of the boozers, i agree.

        That first lad, had alot of issues- perhaps more issues than the others. You don't know what kind of things he may have had to endure whilst being in care. His mistrust of people (it seemed primarily men) could be a sign of abuse or something.

                yeah could be abused by his parent in someway but usally these stuff is very hard to talk about. Another thing about him, I though his girlfriend was his mother she looked pretty old.

                and 6 hours taken away from you life it and getting wasted for another couple of hours is something not short per day

                  i really felt let down by this show, boxing needs more media coverage in england, so when i heard about the concept for this show i was quite interested.

                  It appears all the way through both episodes that amir isnt really that involved with helping the kids (CHAVS) sort out there problems. they just wheel him in every 20 minutes, he says something about boxing, then its back to the chaves getting pissed and fighting.

                  It could have been really good.
