You guys. Wito has taken Wii Boxing to an entirely new level.
If you choose to watch this clip, please take note of a few details.
1. The level of spastic boxing increases at every round. If you prefer a 5-second spaz summary, please check out the 1:30 mark. (But then you would miss the insightful commentary, such as “I’LL PUNCH HIM DOWN I’LL PUNCH HIM DOWN,” as well as his victory dance at the end. Your choice.)
2. I enjoy how he spends half the match staring at, well, I have no idea. Channeling some sort of boxing demigod?
3. Wito can do this for 30-45 minutes at a time. I have no idea how he can sustain that level of energy. (Oh, yeah! He’s five.)
After finishing the match, he sat down next to me and said, “Phew! That boxing is a better workout than your Pilates!”
It’s a close one, but I think he might be right.

May 29, 2012 at 1:41 pm1) I think you have underrated the coaching. “Maybe you should look at him” and “Give him a good one on the right” both led to perfectly timed knock downs.
2) Also, and I may be mistaken, but I believe he also got the “Oh, yeaaaaaaah!” and its delivery from his coach as well.
3) I’m pretty sure the victory dance is a 100% Derby original.

May 29, 2012 at 1:53 pm1. Well, I didn’t want to SAY ANYTHING. But, um, yeah. Coach Mom FTW.
2. True dat.
3. Unbelievable, right? Lord help us all.

May 29, 2012 at 11:44 pmSeriously. That “oh yeah” is straight-up Sarah.
Jen
May 29, 2012 at 2:21 pmUm, that is EXACTLY how I look when I play Kinect boxing. Totally wear my ass out and punch two-to-one everyone else, but I also WIN every single time. My husband says I have no strategy. Um, I do, and it’s called Whirling Dervish. Works for me. And for Wito, I see. :)

May 29, 2012 at 5:39 pmOkay, this seriously made me laugh out loud. I need to borrow some of that energy!

May 29, 2012 at 5:47 pmSarah, I swear to you this is EXACTLY how I look Wii boxing, I panic and just move frenetically and hope for the best.

May 30, 2012 at 7:59 amOh, my. This was fantastic. I love how his feet never stopped moving. And his yellow-striped jammies had me thinking, “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” :)

May 30, 2012 at 1:18 pmI have to say, this is one of the funniest home videos I have seen. The pajamas are really what makes this whole footage sheer brilliance.

(And, now I need to try Wii boxing. I bet Henry would like to watch Mama make an idiot of herself.)
