Not very related but I just watched Tyson-Berbick there. I think that was probably the best Tyson we ever saw (yeah I know Berbick wasn't exactly...
Freddie Little's another very pronounced rear foot fighter besides Charlie Burley. I have to declare my bias -i LOVE this style. These are the...
That makes me happy :goodnews: Who taught you?
Interestingly, in contrast to his brother Vitali spends a fair amount of time on his rear foot (though like Floyd & Pernel, flirts with the lead...
Yeah we definitely agree on that. I think allowing guys to do 'wrong things' to the extent it lets them take advantage of their gifts is...
Excellent.
I think the 'modern' way offers two advantages - one I think it makes guys a bit more mobile. two, it especially makes them able to retreat...
Were you taught that way or did you just settle into preferring that?
I agree. And why a fat 40 year old middleweight like Toney could get to title contention at heavyweight.
typo, already corrected. i think given the rest of it you could have peiced that together. :pathetic:
I'd already said it was about balance.....then said Ugo was 'excruciatingly close' with 'weight shifting', then said it was an aspect of the...
OK, Im sick of dragging this out. It's weight distribution in the basic stance. A majority of top old time guys put most of their weight on...
Yup, it's stance. One particular thing related to stance.
I'll PM you the answer mate :cheers:
Not really but you're in exactly the right area.
:lol: Fucking hell man, don't I know it.But believe me, once you start looking for it, it's effects on styles, the change in it through the years....
It does create a defensive angle/off set line as built into it.....I'm annoying even myself with these cryptic clues, I'll def reveal if nobody...
I'll give it away with an EXTREME comparison (I want somebody to get this!:lol:) - watch a clip of Marciano then watch a clip of Cotto against...
Ugo is now excruciatingly close.:lol:
Cheers Neil
OK so.... (clue words in italics) * not a technique but something technical & FUNDAMENTAL, preceding all other techniques. And something which is...
Parrying & shoulder rolling are techniques
Im not sure Marquez landed many flush shots to the chin, tbh. But I def agree the fight would have been very COMPETITIVE at 130.
Excellent, cheers whiskey. Any idea when he first took over?
Nah man, thats VERY related....but again, more foundational (and more concretely observable). The 5th clue will surely reveal all, if it comes...
Clue 4 (for Ugo): Steward obviously addressed this issue in Wlad and you can see a very pronounced difference between the Barrett fight and now....
Clue Three: what Im talking about actually allows more 'relaxed' punching by creating more weight transference/full body punching, instead of...
Ugo is edging towards the answer.... (not with the facetious second answer)
IMHO, all three of these abilities rest on techniques, in turn facilitated by this fundament. So they are related to the issue. It's something...
:lol: Sorry mate, I promise I'll say today at some point if nobody gets it.
