List common boxing rules of thumb and comment on their validity Never follow a puncher around Don't hook with a hooker Jab with a jabber Styles make fights Timing beats speed Others?
By far the dumbest one: The challenger has to "take" the fight from the champion. GTFOH with that shit! Whoever wins wins. Even if the challenger wins by a point, he still deserves it.
Yeah. The champ has the advantage of keeping his title in case of a draw. That's all there should be to this
The KEY is the Orthodox Fighter Keeping His Lead Foot OUTSIDE the Lead Foot of the Southpaw...Roy Jones was Literally THE 1st Commentator REED Ever Heard Explain This, and it's True... Being OUTSIDE the Lead Foot Makes it HARDER for the Southpaw to Land His Power Hand Also...A Recent Example of This is Ryan Garcia vs. Luke Campbell... Garcia Never Gave 2 Shits About Lead Foot Placement, Campbell's Lead Foot was Consistently Parallel or OUTSIDE of Garcia's, and King Ry was Dropped HARD by a Left Hand He NEVER Saw... REED
Depends who you talk to. Some fans think if one guy scores a knockdown yet loses 9 rounds he deserves a win Or that the last 3 rounds count for more than the previous 7 or 9
Sometimes just the last round alone. One guy is down 11-0, decides to go all out in the 12th and takes it pretty big. Scorecard is announced awarding the decision to the guy who won the first 11 and the fans start booing.
it used to be left hook against a southpaw. The idea was to move right and put him in a position where he had to throw his left hand and then counter it with your hook. If you look at it, your left hand is much closer to the southpaws chin than his is to yours, and his body weight is turning into the hook while the turn of your hook gets your head out of line for his left. Pac had a lot of success with his right hook using this exact movement.
REED Asked Curtis Cokes About This and He Said His Rule of Thumb was 11 Days Celibate... Said Going 6 or 8 Weeks WASN'T Realistic, But 11 Days OFF was Just Right...And if the Wife/Girlfriend Is In Camp w/the Fighter, SEPARATE Rooms Until After the Fight... Not Sure Why 10 or 12 Days Didn't Work, But Mr. Cokes SWORE By 11... REED
I think it's pure bull. Unless you have some serious test problem, you should recharge after a few hours. I think ot was Steve Johnston trainer who gave the most credible explanation for this. Said it wasn't the sex per se that was the problem, but chasing the girls
It's 100% bullshit. While there haven't been extensive studies on it, limited studies have shown zero detrimental correlation between sex and athlete performance. As JOM said, it's the chasing the females that's the problem. If you leave the weigh-in, and spend the night before the fight getting drunk and fucking three different hookers in the hotel room, then yeah, there's a very good chance your performance will be affected. If you go home after the weigh-in, and spend the night just chillin and happen to have hot, nasty sex with your wife/gf, it'll have zero negative impact on your performance. On the contrary, shit, it might loosen you up if you're filling tense and stressed about the fight.
I will add though - I would personally hold off on fucking RIGHT BEFORE the fight. Like the day of, I would just spend relaxing and staying focused. I see no issue with getting a pump fest in the night before though.
Not only that, if you dont let it out for a week or two, youll have some wet dream and all your precious sperms will be gone for nothing
Speaking Only for Himself, REED's Legs are NOTICEABLY Weaker After Sex, the Older He Gets... Granted, REED's Never Been Mistaken for a World Class Athlete, But He Couldn't Imagine Having to PERFORM Athletically, Even a DAY After Having Sex... Another Factor is the DESIRE to Fight, to Inflict PAIN/PUNISHMENT On an Individual...After Having Sex, Even the MEANEST Motherfucker is GENTLER... It's Not Just Weak Legs, It's the Fact You're NOT Really in the Mood to Beat the Shit Out of Another Man, You'd Rather Beat the Shit Out of Her Pussy Instead... Then Go to Sleep... REED
That's Not True... REED's Been in Predicaments Where he Couldn't Fuck/Masturbate for 5 Months, Literally...Never Had a Wet Dream Though... REED
For real? I was once in a certain place where i couldn't "relase it' and after a week, it happened. Week after was the same. As for performance, i neber saw any difference. Often did a quick one before going to the gym and never had any impact on my performance
REED's Thinking You and Him were in Similar "Certain Places"... But Yeah, 5 Months...Believe it or Not, REED Shat LESS than 10 Times in the Same Span...No Bullshit... Athletically Speaking, REED Was a DECENT High School Level Basketball Player, Admittedly NOT Scholarship Worthy...Could've MAYBE Gotten a Baseball Scholarship Had he Pursued it, But as Previously Stated, REED's NEVER Been Confused for a World Class Athlete...So Maybe it's Just Him... Curtis Cokes LIVED by the 11 Day Rule Though; When He Fought AND When He Trained Fighters... REED
