Monsivaiz Smoker Rant...

This weekend boxing/kickboxing matches down in Las Cruses NM were filled with good fights in the ring, disappointing adult(I use this word because of age not how they acted) actions outside the ring and one former world champion. All the amateur fighters in my book were winners just for stepping into the ring they showed more heart and courage then most people show in a life time. As for the adults.... not so much! If you are a adult please act as a adult and that includes the former champion and his family and the rest of the adult fans in attendance. Please remember these are KIDS not pro fighters and shouting at the kids "to kill" his/her opponent or "kick his/her ass" is not teaching the kids any sportsmanship what so ever....What's worse is when two 8-10 year old are in the ring giving there very best and the two families of the kids are out in the crowd about to fight over the kids BOXING in the ring! Are you serious!?! If you as parents/adults cant handle yourself during AMATEUR BOXING/KICKBOXING how do you expect your kids to act when things in life don't do there way?!?!? Johnny and Theresa.... you two of all the people at the event should have known better then to act like that at a AMATEUR EVENT! Are you two not the same people who are considered "professionals" in combat sports circles? You two showed low class in not controlling your emotions and actions as two young fighters did there very best in the squared circle. What a shame. As for the title fight it was action packed and a very close fight between two young women who gave it there all and still had enough class to hug, cry and say good job to each other after there fight. I guess a lot of adults could have learned good sportsmanship and honor from those two young ladies and all the fighter who stepped between those ropes on Saturday night in Las Cruses NM.
