Agree. I don't know when mitts became popular, but as you already have written the mitts are only as good as the person holding them. Two...
good post! Wilder's foot speed is one of the things that separates him. He punches hard, but he also uses his quick feet to get within range...
To learn to fight, everyone needs sparring, but when it comes to equipment and preparation, I'm a big believer in the heavy bag and shadow boxing,...
Foreman wouldn't have gotten in the ring with Wilder. GF was a lot of things, but he wasn't stupid.
