Proper Boxing attire

My kids are getting ready for their first fight next month so I purchased them their trunks. My little girl picked out long knee legnth short and my boy picked the old school look, above the knee.
They are having a dispute on socks now. My girl wants knee high socks with some sort of design on them, and my boy want traditional socks.
Do I get them what they want? I dont thik I ever saw a boxer with socks with a lightning bolt running up the side of them.

 

socks dont matter they can wear what ever they want for socks

then again apply your style sense, lighting bolt, not the best look IMO

 

Haha, good advice :yep

 

Regular socks, it wont matter what they look like to your kid when shots are being thrown at them

 

Thats what I tried to explain to them. maybe ill meet my girl half way by getting her long plain socks

 

My boy just wants to fight, he is all about tradition.

 

I say let her wear whatever socks she wants. Don't want her going into the ring with any concerns about how she looks. If you pick the socks and she thinks she looks like a dork then that's one more thing on her mind.

 

exactly....whatever you feel comfortable in

 

Boxing dad,

if you ever have any questions regarding the sport etc.. go to www.amateurboxing.com and e mail Melanie she has been in the game for years and any question you have she will have an answer for you....

 

Look good, feel good, do good. I am a strong believer in that.

 

Let them wear what they want as long as it is in the rules for it to be okey.

They are the ones fighting the fight it is their day.

 

There is some truth to that, but honestly I always felt at my best when I knew I had worked my ass off in the gym, didnt matter what color my socks where

 

I'm not saying the socks are important, but it's nice to build up your confidence
