In most amateur boxing matches they are required to wear head gear. There really was no safety equipment for these kids. The fight should have been called in the first round. I did not find it entertaining at all. The children were way too young in my opinion. MMA is the aquisition of skill and training that takes years of wrestling,jj, or whatever martial arts you try to master. How much training and experience can two six or seven year olds have. I did not really see the point of the parents putting their kids in that ring.
