Using Willie Pep's style

It'd be like tryin' to copy a butterfly, N

 

Willie moved in way that one did not expect. I think Ali did a decent job of copying Robinson's style. He was able to move, stop, and fire...Move again.

Pep fiented, punched, moved and punched again in what seemed like the same movement. He moved at angles, in situations that I have a hard time understanding.

Pep's fight style was a look into a genius' mind. It cannot be correctly applied if you are not a genius at copying Pep's though process in the ring.

 

Knew Willie well. Even he didn't know why he did what he did...'n the galling thing is: He spent more time at the track than in the gym.

 

woah, he musta had great instincts to just trust himself to know what to do

 

Willie was a WUNDERKIND. Spent more time chasin' girls than roadwork. All the synapses were in his DNA.

He was a terrible trainer. Couldn't get it through his head why boxers couldn't do what he did.

 

He said that in jest about his fight with Jose Luis Ramirez when he switched up his usual tactics drastically. That was far from his typical style.

 

What can I say? I've watched a lot of boxing in my short time on Earth.:good

 

Perhaps Boom Boom had that same surprise reverse gear stylewise that Gene Fullmer had. As I recall, Mancini won big over Ramirez.

 

Gilberto Roman ? Maybe.....

 

Two things you could never put together, N: Willie 'n running in the same sentence. He did less than James Toney.

He was a hybrid: Part water bug, part flake, 200% stand-up comic.
