    Is it really running faster? If it is it's done very well. I didn't even think about it when I was watching it for the first time. And now I'm still not sure...

    What do you guys think?

    Based on what? I watched it twice, background and all, and saw nothing suspicious, except for the fact that the kid has exceptionally fast hands.

    No it is not , if you look at the people standing in the back ground there movement is not augmented at all .
    if this were running at a high speed they would also be moving just as fast.

    Not sure 1st time round, after watching it for 2nd time, it definately is faster than normal speed. The camera shake gives it away, and the people in the background are moving slightly strangely.
    They would have been better off not messing with it, as it would have been virtually just as impressive, but without the doubt.

    no it isnt - if you watch closely, at the beginning, guy in background drops his hands, and its at a normal speed - if it was sped up he'd be dropping his hands really slowly in standard motion and wouldnt be natural. that kid will set the world alight if he is kept disciplined - you see the stamina?

    2 minutes, non stop, 5 years old, and has as much pop and speed / awareness, sharpness as when the clip started. half the professionals cant do that for 30 seconds without punching themselves out.

    the potential is there for greatness i think - only the potential though

    I don't think it was sped up at all, I had a look at the guys other vid which shows the kid doing sit-ups/crunches and lifting a weights bar.

    I hope he doesn't mess up the kids development with stupid stuff like that before he even hits his teens.

    The video is speeded up, people in background give it away, like people in the background of the floyd jumprope video here, he looks good anyway.

    The speed is quite a bit faster than normal. It's obvious.

    Stuff like this makes me queasy. It's a kid, who may not even like boxing by the time he (or she?) turns 13. Parents shouldn't pimp their kids out on Youtube at that age.

    It's like watching a fight in Dragon Ball Z. Very fast punches.

    It's really nothing special, it's simple basic mechanics, jab, jab, combos with the right hand, repeat. Future of boxing? Lets see in 18 years, lol.

    Whether or not it is sped up, the kid will appear deceptively fast due to his small size. When he jabs he has to extend his arm less than half the distance a normal sized adult does.
