    Apollo did better against Larry than Sexton did. One flopped him didn't you Apollo, that's what I heard anyway.

    Havent seen them yet, sounds not working, but if its anything like the shaky Kell Brook interview when he asked him if he had ever watched Tyson, then its sre to be comedy gold.

    Did Apollo ever get that interview plus sparring with the highly rated bi sexual amateur Toby Jacobs from Dale Youth?.

    He deleted me on FB.

    I think it was because I forgot to respond to one of his messages.

    Just watching his videos in Vegas and bless him he tries and i give him credit for that and being so willing but it amazes me how much gym time and expert coaching likes of him and Zelenoff get and yet they just don't improve.

    Those videos really do show what the difference is between guys who train hard and guys with simple talent. AJJ's hooks just lack the compact snap you need to make it a real weapon.

    More than anything it's the terrible footwork we see more and more now, and it causes so many other problems. Sloppy jab, difficulties judging range, out of position after throwing a 1-2...

    Sometimes he throws the left hook and steps through his own shot, which would end up with him in a clinch against more experienced guys.

    Great point, Mand - the best technical fighters are, without fail, the smartest. All the training in the world counts for nothing if you can't retain it and apply it.

    :good Good post mate, Agree totally.

    I like the interviews he done, even with difficult guys he asks decent questions.

    :lol: The left hook to body couldn't knock skin of a rice pudding aye Slip :lol:. Roger wasn't messing around, could see he didn't really wanna work pads with him and when he put hands up to block pads that just ended any desire to work with him for Roger :lol:.

    Some good interviews here.Yes the kid seems a bit, how do I put this? You know a bit funny and maybe im just a bit too long in the tooth but his dress sense is a bit alarming but I think he asks good questions.Hes a fan who is meeting and interviewing some legendary figures in the sport so hes doing something right.
    Frank really hates him though.Calls him "That little ****".:verysad
