A couple days ago Todd introduced me to one of his little 8th grade football players named Ponnu. He was such a nice & sweet kid that I was shocked when Todd told me he was a ranked boxer! We'll he has every right to be ranked! The kid can move & did an amazing job against the young man he fought who was 2 year older & a full foot taller!
This is Todd, Ponnu with his trophy & coach "B" after the fight!
Okay, this is all I'm going to say...
The first fight was two little 9 year olds and when they entered the ring I just felt the color drain from my face....after a few punches and blood starting to run from one boys nose, I felt the tears not only welling, but running. I couldn't help but see my own sweet 10 & 8 year old out there and feel horrified...
This is Punno's cousin the tough little 9 year old, who won by the way!
Well, after a couple fights and constantly being asked if I'd like to go home by my husband we get to the final event. Todd's little player was amazing...fast, confident, in control...but the best part was...
When they gave Ponnu his medal he took it and thanked the man then walked right over and placed it around his competitors neck!
Oh, by the way, one of the other PV boys Dad came up to me after the fight and said that he and his wife were sitting kitty corner from us & saw my face when the first fight started. Him & his wife felt so bad...
So, no more fights for me please! But, Good Job Ponnu you're Amazing!

I didn't even know it was legal for 9 and 10 year olds to box. Wow! How did you sit through that? Sometimes I wonder if it be good for Jadon. :)
