Marciano fast footwork, closing the distance, and using angles against Lastarza

Can I also say that there is a forum at the top of the page for boxing training. It's two along from classic on the toolbar and it strikes me as a more appropriate forum for posting videos of yourself and discussing your own form. This is classic boxing where we should, by definition, be discussing classic boxing not having playground arguments about who's the best. If the training forum isn't suitable, there's always facebook.

FFS!

 

Having trained 41 world champions I would expect Steward to be able to recognize the qualities and flaws in fighters.

 

Yeah. For instance, you can save your pseudo intellect of a proper uppercut for beginners in that forum too, as well as questions about my personal experiences in the gym, thank you.

These guys challenged me out of the blue.
And I would've kept getting harassed if I didn't produce something.
You can't please everyone all of the time...

 

Would you? Well, you've already been exposed as a noob so whaddayou know, eh?

Just got to add, after the Tex Cobb gif revealed that there has been an irony bypass around here of late, that I am joking there. Apologies if, as a sane person, that was bloody obvious to you, but it seems you can't be too sure.

 

Agreed, they can se more than almost anyone else. But, there is a balance.
I don't care if you are Ray Arcel of Manny Stewart, there is only so much you can see in Joe Gans footage.

The Marciano films that were circulating before the Web 2.0 were mostly bad.
He has enjoyed somewhat of a resurgence in the last few years as higher quality footage of him has become more readily available from various, easily accessible sources.

 

You're no Dave Chapelle, I'll tell you that much

 

You could. You could stop posting.

 

Where is the evidence to support this statement?
I bought a Marciano collection in the 1960's, it's on Super8mm it gives very good quality.
Certainly enough to appreciate any little nuances and technical strategies.

 

Never take anything for granted here E.E.!

 

So you can keep telling terrible grandpa jokes and boxing 101 technique?
Your poor boss must feel neglected from his employee star comedian

 

I admit I am very much at boxing 101 level. I've yet to move on to 'arm uppercuts' and 'elite haymakers' or how to throw a punch with 'shoulder snap throughout the whole motion'. I always thought snap implied a sudden and immediate acceleration of energy, what with it being called 'snap' and all. Unless you meant to type slap.

It's clearly all beyond me. My poor boss will be very disappointed to hear it but I'd probably best stick to the day job

 

However, I am delighted to report that I have mastered the lesser known bolo jab

 

What cohorts? I've never met any of the other posters in my life as far as I know, The only one I might know if I saw him would be Mcvey as his picture is on his avatar but he's probably used a really good shot of himself. I doubt he's that handsome in the flesh.
