One of my kids having his first fight

[PunchDrunk]

He's the one in black.

looks like he has a good set of fundamentals. cong****

would you mind translating the break down of the points at the end there?

The kid's 11, and at that age they're only allowed to fight these technical matches where they're evaluated on defense, footwork/balance, and clean punching. So the points are for those three categories. Maximum points (theoretically) possible to get is 45. You need 27 to pass. The record is 37, so 34 points is pretty good.

well done to the the fella.

funny you could pass without throwing a punch if your defence was a 13 and your footwork was a 14..

Getting above 12 in any category is VERY difficult, so that's more of a theoretical possibility than an actual one...

I don't put much importance on those points though. The most important thing is to get them out there, get the experience in the ring, and for me to see how they react to the situation. Do they up their game or freeze up and underperform? There's a big difference between the gym and and actual ring with a referee, an unknown opponent, and an audience.

The thing is, the referee can stop the fight if they're going at it too hard, in which case neither boxer gets an evaluation (and the diploma if they pass). This ensures that they have to BOX, instead of just going in there like human windmills. That'll come soon enough.

Tell him to stop defending and knock him out!

Joking looks quite good i remember my first fight when i was 11.]

God times have changed at that point i was a skinny little runt was shaping up to be about light welter which wasnt natural since im very broad and very tall.

Now im a heavyweight 6ft 5 inchs and about 225ish

There's a difference between the Danish and the Norwegian system. I'm not quite sure how it works up there?

det høres likt ut, i merkekmaper for man poeng for rette rene støt, fotarbeide og forsvar.

forskjellig krav til forskjellige merker, har sølv selv men strøk til gull.

skal man klare gull skal man være god, eller i hvertfall teknisk god.
