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

[baya]

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?

dude, you don't want that for your kin. respecting your opponent is the best thing you can do ... but if there is real bad blood then yeah, of course, all bets are off.

it's just the manly way to conduct yourself.

There is a fine line to walk when dealing with being over the top brash as I call it. Boxing is and has been a "Gentlemen's Sport", where there is no need to show respect before the bout, or even during i.e. the touching of gloves, as the respect of both men are/will be earned between them during the bout, then expressed after the bout has come to its conclusion. After the bout is over the respect should be displayed win, lose, or draw; and this is where I think your nephew should make it his business to mature as it will not only make him a better fighter, but also a better person.

The fella in my avi was notorious for clowning any and everybody he fought, and in a era where the death threats where real, he still managed to be gracious in win or defeat. THAT is the model we as a people need to follow in this Boxing game.

Your nephew should keep his confidence sky high my man, but practice humility after the final bell has been rung.

Also I would mind him that the energy he puts into "clowning" would be better served in finding the slight wrinkles in his game both offensively and defensively, and perfecting those areas. I pray and hope for his success. I hope he puts it all together and comes out on top.

Thanks bruh he's a hard worker and many coaches believe he has the goods. I'll tell him to get a little more humble but I still want him a bit brash so he never believes a fighter can beat him.

they scoff at rap music and constantly point to the image being pushed via media and tv, but when some of us try to step above that image and show people we actually have love amongst us and are not with that poison image then somehow you are the most hateful craziest person in the world... and GOD forbid you have confidence in yourself. then you become the most arrogant person in the world... its like a no win situation
