    That was actually very impressive. Do you know how hard it is to unleash a fast combination on a heavy bag like that? lol not easy at all especially if you're trying to do it with a lot of force. Which he was.

    He was slapping a little bit and going slightly wide. But everything else was pretty good.

    Here's the mistake people make with the bag, they punch too much in single shots. You only do that for power work. You wanna try and punch in 2's and 3's and diversify the attack from the bottom to the top. Anthony was doing a decent job of that there.

    You don't wanna keep your eyes on one spot and go at the same pace and rhythm, which is something you see fighters doing when they're working the bag. Trust me, the habits you display on the bag you will display in the ring.

    Have you seen Cotto hitting the heavy bag? I swear some of the flaws stem from there. You can see why Cotto sometimes runs out of gass by just looking at what he does in training. Too one paced. You wanna carry yourself FAST in training otherwise if you don't and then get carried FAST in the ring you will struggle.

    I'll give you an example. Tony Bellew posts here and i would love to know how he trains, i want someone to ask him how he trains and hopefully he'll tell us because i see some of those traits in Tony and MANY other fighters.

    I saw Tony fighting an exellent fight against Cleverly in the first half, but then his shoulders got tired and he couldn't punch and jab at the same level anymore.

    This can happen when you're not carrying yourself fast on the bag or even the pads (which i think are overrated and shouldn't be used as much as they're being used these days).

    Some fighters punch too low when hitting the bag. What this does is, it makes you get use to punching at that same level (muscle memory) and if there comes a time when you have to punch higher then that level you've got used to, then your shoulders start to get tired.

    Someone who's shoulders NEVER got tired was Ray Leonard. Watch how he use to work the bag and vary his punches on it.

    There are so many other mistakes people make with the bag, but i'll save that for another day/thread because i'm waffling on a bit here. lol

    The issue with Islamists (political Islam) is not merely that such people are "****s" but that such people are traitors, even if they are peaceful. And of course, they aren't all peaceful. Islamism is a breeding ground for terrorism.

    How are you a traitor if you are peaceful? I'm an atheist does that make me a traitor? There is no part of being British that says you must assign to a given faith system.

    Regardless, what does any of that have to do with my post? I said "deport him where?" as the insinuation seemed to be that he was not British despite being born in Britain. If an "Islamist" who breaks the law came to Britain as an immigrant from Pak*stan or Bangladesh etc then sure deport them.

    If however they were born in Britain then they are British and deporting is not an option unless you either...

    A) Think we have the right to force another country to take in any of our undesirables, so you know deport all our paedophiles and rapists to another country and force them to deal with them.

    Or

    B) Think that someone is not actually British unless they are white and thus we can deport anyone back to the origin of their parents or grandparents or in many cases great grandparents on the basis that only white = British.

    I'd be interested to see who subscribes to either the ludicrously unrealistic and unjustifiable option A or the disgustingly racist and unjustifiable option B.

    You said: "or are you suggesting we deport any people who are ****s".

    I was pointing out that the issue is hardly that.

    If you can't see the difference between atheism and Islamism here then it's probably not worth me trying to explain it.
