    True, they usually just push each others shoulders into each other, or throw uppercuts with no upper body movement!

    I stil try and stick to the outside now, can infight a little bit but I'm not trying to emulate JCC yet (not a good idea to get into wars in sparring anyway IMO)

    When I was boxing I went through a whole mish-mash of styles before I settled with a Bob Foster type of game, which worked well since I had similar dimensions and good power.

    When I first started boxing I thought it would be cool to fight like Joe Frazier - against a kid six inches shorter than me.

    That word plus "tv" is the name of an illegal streaming site that streams live HBO presentations etc.

    Cracking.
