The Habits You Notice In The Sweet Science

Cross armed defence...rarely used anymore

Fullmer, Moore, most recently probably Azumah Nelson and Cotto very occasionally.

 

Peter Buckley

 

Holyfield used it aswell, it's a great technic when done correctly.

 

Paul 'Hoko' Hodkinson had a bad habit of stepping back out of exchanges, and dropping his hands to pull his shorts up. Used to do it all the time.

 

This gives me an excuse to watch Hoko - Villasana II this lunchtime, great fight :good

 

I'm glad at least someone else thinks this. Personally, I also think the beer that was thrown on him onto his way to the ring got to him as well. Naz looked really nervous after all of those events if you ask me. Barrera nailed the task in hand, though- no taking that away form him. Naz was waiting to be picked apart by someone with skills.

As for habits, Dave Darts ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS, lifts his hand and pinces his fingers as if he's about to throw a dart when he's questioning someone. Look for it when he's next on TV!

 

Quality scrap:goodVilasana was one tough hombre,****in awkward ****er to boot. Remember goining to the first fight with me Dad at the G-mex. Was gutted for Hoko that night. Fought blind for most of the fight.Fully deserved his victory 2nd time round. We were sat with all the gypo's that night, cos big John Fury was on the bill... Funny nightyep

 

I bumped into Gypsy John in a pub after he had just been beaten by Malpass...one ****ing scary individual :deal

 

Jermain Taylor does that shuffle with his arm in the air when his name is being called out by the MC.

 

Mills 'Lets get it on' Lane was a funny little ****er. He used to tap the side of his nose then point his finger at the camera when Buffer used to introduce him Good ref though. Never took no ****.

 

Watch kessler in the final instructions, he does this things where his head goes left to right, also rolling his shoulders a bit too

 

I'm convinced Howard Foster says ''Watch your t'eds'' on purpose....

 

paul smith always hits himself in his face and side, especially on his nose just before he starts to fight

tyson fury always tried to KO himself during a fight

 

yes, defo, good spot
