Kids As Young As Six Are Participating In Pugilistic Sport With Their Parents' Approval

I can just see this as a great excuse for child abusers. "I was just helping him train for his next fight. I didn''t realize he was unconsious. I just thought he was being weak, so I kept on hitting him".

Kids fighting within reason and under supervision? there is nothing wrong with that. I used to back yard brawl with all of my friends when i was younger and even into my late teens i still did it. It''s not like we were fighting for real; throwing fists at eachothers faces but we would get some body shots in once in a while. And as far as boxing and wrestling go, thats basically what MMA is, both of them mixed with a few extra legal moves. I see nothing wrong with it.

Training that might eventually come in handy in our expected 100-year war in Iraq.

There should be a law banned to ban this in all 50 states. Period!

If you want it banned because of the risk of someone getting hurt, then you had better ban football too. By every statistic football is far more dangerous than MMA. Each year dozens of players are seriously hurt or even paralyzed (and even a few deaths) playing football. Take special teams plays for example. Two guys running at top speed collide in what could be described as running 20 to 25 mph into a brick wall. If it''s because you don''t like the sport then don''t watch.

I grew up playing Little League and my kids played soccer for many years. This ain''t Little League or youth soccer either!

This is just some more evidence of the coarsening and increased brutalization of our society. Sad.

As far as I''m concerned, in general no.
