    Not read the whole thread, 6ft Bantam WTF !!!

    My inside work wasnt that great, i dunno, i just used to lean and spin them...........well......i tried

    As i said before most were heavier so the height looked ok .

    Weigh ins were cool though.......i would be told " thats ya match up/fight/boy " I didnt smile as they were stalky solid fek's ! Perfect looking Lightweights

    I honestly have no idea. I'm still trying to establish my style. I never seem to stick to one style.

    That's good I think. It pays to be versatile

    I was sick just about all the time and had a metabolism from hell, so I quickly became known as the "pipe cleaner." There was no formal competition in the regional DoDDS schools, so I was in a rinky-dink league of something like 5 local villages vs. other regional rinky-dinks. Not exactly a stellar amateur career. ;) College competition back here in the Big East blew me away. Literally.

    The real trouble was in wrestling where I often had to substitute for the 135-145 spots and... I'm sure that I've gassed on longer than anybody wanted to hear. :D

    He's already emulated Jermain Taylor & Joe Calzaghe. I bet none of them bums switched stance and landed cheeky uppercuts in their first sparring session.

    Young Muhammad Ali was a great influence for me and that worked out pretty good took some years to learn all those things he did, combined that with some of my own stuff. Also the last 6-7 years I have watched a lot of Sugar Ray Leonard so I have borrowed stuff there as well.
    So yes i fight like Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. Haven“t earned the same money though. he he!

    I'm a counterpuncher, I'm tall for my weight. I try to mix it up though and volume punch and always put combos together while I counter, and I bend my knees a lot to get lower and be more athletic; because with my height I can be awkward if I get rigid.
