Primo Carnera training

Carnera was so strong that he makes foreman look weak

 

Do you think Carnera could pick up a cow?

 

I love the quality of these films...tremendous quality...thanks...Tyson threw punches similar to carnea often...turning the shoulders

 

He was very strong

He was known to throw a cow 50 ft in the air

 

The back on him wouldn't be out of place on a mr universe !

 

When shadowboxing throwing shots he looks like his mimicking taking them as well lol

 

His shadow boxing was atrocious, hope he was just messing around. Hands low, flat footed, poor coordination, no head movement, stiff, no snap in his punches.

Never seen a clear photo of him tho, his physique and brute strength are impressive.

 

He's throwing really hard shoulder snap punches even tough he rarely loaded up like that in bouts.

I assume because he knew people came to see a freak show, he decided to just throw a bunch of haymakers.

 

I agree with all of this. Looks like mainly arm punches when he's hitting the bag, with his legs spread so widely, but in fairness it's kind of hard to tell how much snap he's getting into those ugly hooks when he's shadow boxing.
