My 18 year old son is about to have is first boxing match. I feel sick the thought of it.?

Question

Do you think he wants his mum there or will he be too embarressed?

Answer 1

I wouldnt mind if my mom came to a match of mine. Naturally if she was to scream out stuff to me it would be less than awesome, but her being there wouldnt be all that bad, not in the slightest. I wouldnt be embarressed, and as for distractions, if a fighter gets distracted that easy, they need to toughen up.

Answer 2

Most boxers i know would love their mum to be there.  It will make him happy and spur him on.

Answer 3

If this is a serious Q, you need to stay at home and let him fend for himself.  He needs to focus on protecting himself at all times, not his gasping, shaking mum in the crowd.

Answer 4

The most important thing here is that your kid doesn't look at you or his mother for help if he is getting knocked around. He needs to be strong and courageous, if he is getting whooped or is completely mismatched the ref will stop it.

Even if he doesn't fight again after this, he cannot look at you for help in the ring he must stand alone. You must encourage him as much as possible if he is going to be successful at this even for this one event. Its gonna be hard but if you & the misses cannot be strong for him then maybe you should both stay home..

Best of Luck

Answer 5

i dont bring my mom to my boxing matches because if i get beat up she will kill someone. but that never happened every mom does this. they wouldnt want their child to get hurt. i know i wouldnt

Answer 6

I am not a boxer, but I think that the person boxing would not be bothered with his mother being there because he would be too busy thinking about his opponent...............I think the better question would be whether you really want to go........alot of wives or mothers can't watch their sons/children compete...........if that's the case and you really don't want to see it then sit down and have a talk with you son.....i'm sure he'll understand.

You could also just try asking him if he wants you to go..........there will be no guessing then.

Answer 7
