From what I know it was a very standard part of training back then. Another fun fact is that Jem Mace competed in footraces at one point, and did pretty well. Not the ideal build for a runner, so he must have been in very good shape.
I swear I've never seen anybody with as much hatred for a boxer dripping off them as Samba.Something really bad happened to him with a Tyson lookalike is all I can figure !
From what I know Jim Jefferies trained with high class greco roman wrestlers and Jack Dempsey was good at judo. Maybe they would have stood a chance. With that being said, is there any high level boxer that started in tae kwon do or karate when they were young then focused solely on boxing?
lol! AJ has expressed interest in fighting in the MMA, but added he knows he will be destroyed in their, I personally think AJ would have done far better in a boxing match vs Vitali than in a MMA rules fight, the leg kicks would have destroyed him, I just wanted to hear boxing fans viewpoint on this unusual situation, in regards to a B-level boxer like Pele Reid being able to knock Vitali out with a kick and stuff.
AJ would use the UFC heavyweight champ Cormier as a tooth pick. UFC and their crappy little D level athletes.
Exactly what hes doing. Hes obsessed with Joshua yet doesn't post in the General about him. Glad That's exactly what hes doing
