    Nothing wrong with it if it comes naturally to you, but with Ali against Mildenberger, I felt it looked somewhat affected. My belief was that he should have deployed his usual movement patterns, and make Mildenberger adapt to him. However, Muhammad bothered with none of that when he dealt with Dunn so efficiently, a far better approach to worrying about it inordinately.
    That won't take long. As Saad did with Pergaud, Pipino might have tried the hook to the body, but I liked his direct approach to getting Backus out of there, and he graphically demonstrated that he had far more than a lethal left.

    About dealing with southpaws, Larry Holmes also advised kid brother Mark, "When in doubt, stick it out." Of course Larry never had to deal with a first rate southpaw, while Mark was competing in a middleweight division swarming with them when he started. Quite a stunning variety of suggestions to sort through.
