Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - paul (12th Oct 2025 - 14:46:25) Hi, How good was the sporting contest? Any future Boxing stars?

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - D (12th Oct 2025 - 19:13:56) I'm surprised a relatively affluent area such as Liphook would be interested in boxing and wrestling. Didn't know so many Liphook folk would turn out to watch half naked sweaty men rolling around on the floor together.

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - Boxing mum (13th Oct 2025 - 15:55:05) It was an event for the stable ABC. It was not all sweaty men going around half naked. It was children and teenagers. Yes there were a handful of adults fighting but majority was children and it was a roaring success. Instead of putting the event down why not come and see it for yourself.

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - paul (13th Oct 2025 - 16:15:00) Hi, Boxing known as the the "Noble Art". It is skills, rather than brute strength, to beat your opponent. The Queensberry rules were introduced in England in1867, to enable a fair contest. Wrestling was a formal sport in this country from 1900's, and became a professional discipline. Also an Olympic sport, enjoyed around the world. Both sports have massive appeal, to both men and women competing. These activities, do not need to be performed in non-affluent areas only.

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - D (13th Oct 2025 - 18:59:41) Boxing Mum, watching teenage boys wrestling would be even dodgier. But it's nice to know the torch lit by the likes of Mick McManus, the Crabtrees, Haystack and the legendary Kendo Nagasaki is being carried on by the younger generation. Excellent.

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - Boxing mum (14th Oct 2025 - 14:26:26) Sorry but do you need help? Like serious help? Majority of the people that went were friends and family of the fighters! So please explain to me how going to watch my sons fight is dodgy? You obviously have an agenda to stop things like this happening in Liphook, why because it isn’t posh enough sport for you? If you weren’t there and didn’t purchase a ticket politely pipe down and keep you opinion to yourself. It was a roaring success enjoyed by the fighters (aged 8 and up!) and all family and friends that went. All coaches were proud of every single one of them fighters on Sunday.

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - Boxing mum (14th Oct 2025 - 14:28:36) Can I also add that they were BOXING not wrestling. At no point was anyone “rolling around the floor” with each other. If you are that interested in it I’m more then happy to provide the link for the grassroots video that recorded the whole event!

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - Scott (14th Oct 2025 - 16:13:04) From what I heard and saw it looked like a great sporting event and I'm glad it was such a success. A fantastic sport for the kids to be involved in, so well done to them. And it was in Liphook, just brilliant. I think we are all coming to the conclusion that a particular individual just hates on everything. Maybe for their own kicks, but probably to be contrary and provoke conflicting opinions with other contributors, thats the definition of an online Troll isn't it? Good luck to the kids who took part for the future, any sport is good sport.

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - paul (14th Oct 2025 - 16:26:14) Hi, Learning Boxing for boys and girls is a great sport for now, and in their future. This help's keeping kids off the streets of crime, and drugs etc. Also there is less dependency on their screen time, on all mobile devices. Help's their fittest for health at a developing age, also staying away from junk food, and obesity. Why not set-up on our Millennium Green an event, for all of our community. This could be called "Liphook Village Boxing Rumble". A Ring, and event, for all ages of competitors, including referees to officiate. This could be a local charities event. Playing bands for music, on an open lorry trailer. Street food stalls, etc. What's not to like!

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - paul (14th Oct 2025 - 16:27:29) Hi, Yes please Boxing Mum.

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - D (14th Oct 2025 - 16:35:00) Boxing Mum, I didn't mean to cause any offence. I mentioned wrestling because that is held at the same venue. I've nothing against boxing at all, but like any sport, accept the risks. God bless Johnny Owen.

Re: Re Amateur Boxing event today (Sunday) at Millennium Centre - D (14th Oct 2025 - 16:39:11) Boxing Mum, no way am I posh.
