Why should boxing be about ''respect'' this is a gladiators sport!

[Khabash]

I have a nephew who is operating as an amateur boxer, he is 15 and has the same mindset as Broner, is working real hard and stays dedicated to his craft. He has the attributes of speed, power and explosiveness and most importantly his defence is fantastic. Some of the trainers of the opposition he faces keep trying to tell him he should show more ''respect'' and ''class'' but since when was boxing about respect? You're punching a man in the face! It's all about generating money and winning belts imo.

I'm very excited about the progression of my nephew and even got a retweet from the Sam Watson twins giving him a shout out, they even seen some footage of him and like the swag and hate he generates. Let's be honest the old adage ''nice guys finish last'' definitely applies to boxing. Even with Broner people hate him and pay to see him lose, and when he finally lost his 0 all eyes were still on him.

My nephew likes to clown a lot of these Eastern Euro fighters and is currently undefeated as an amateur, this one dude he fought from Ukraine he didn't even look him in the eye and after he whooped him the dude tried to touch gloves and he just hit gloves with disrespect and didn't embrace afterwards. I truly like what I see as I believe brashness and over confidence is a good thing in a sport where generating attention is key to generating pay per view buys.

On the flip side you don't want him to be TOO overconfident as he may neglect his defence and discipline similar to how Broner did. So this is why I believe a balance is key. What do you think?

Does he stick out his tongue like a little girl at his opponents?

This one white dude from Colorado he was clowning him bad dude was slow as *** putting so much effort trying to be explosive and my nephew just rolled his punches shaking his head in disappointment goading him lmao. Then he gassed later on and got beat on badly in the later rounds they had to stop the fight.

I just wanted to come in this thread and say that I didn't read a single word of the OP or any of the posts that followed.

I think you're either a troll or missing the point. Lots of kids go into boxing to keep them out of trouble. Through discipline and respect lots of boxers have avoided an early death in the streets. Doesn't matter how talented you are eventually your coach will get tired if your ***** if you don't show enough respect. Not embracing after a fight I can maybe understand if your opponent fought dirty or didn't try. And there's no need for a glove touching fest like mosley. But respect is still important. Because if you are arrogant the whole time then you will fall hard when you get outclassed. And using Broner as an example: he has become pretty irrelevant since losing to maidana. Mayweather has at least done enough to be arrogant.

Confidence is important but respect is needed. If you just let people behave however they want then how will you run your gym?
