Great post. I remember, a quarter of a century ago or more, arguing with my friend that Billy Conn had a case for being among the top...
I really love both of these fighters. Both were terrific punchers, though Arguello has the greater reputation as a one punch guy. Both were great...
That's a good way of saying it. Personally I think that fight was either 3-3 or 4-2 for Vitali. But even if VK had won more rounds, he most...
The Freddie Delgado fight, or either of the fights with Anthony Hembrick.
It was Archie Moore that did that, I'm pretty sure, and he used it to help him lose weight. I have a friend that started doing it when he fought...
Curious thing about a very powerful jab...you push him out of range of your right hand. This is especially true if the force in your jab is the...

A Mancini fight would have been something; two guys willing to take in order to give. One guy trusted in his power, the other in his heart and the...
Where they get crossed up, boxing is a simple activity. Even the most 'advanced' move is just a couple of simple, basic things strung together....
That is a perfect explanation.
I discovered Marvin Cook just recently, and, for the first few minutes of the video I saw, what he said made sense. I teach an angled stance- is...
I should have read your post before I put another 6 minutes into that one.
Can't do more than a few minutes of that. He touches base in a couple spots but, at a fundamental level, Fouts is gibberish. He can go to a...
Up to this point I have only watched a couple minutes and I will watch the rest. But so far... This Fouts guy is full of sh@t in many ways but...
I was there that night and the whole card was disappointing. Engels Pedroza got robbed in the semi main. Robert Garcia, the trainer, fought on the...
I don't think that most people understand very much at all about teaching and preparing a fighter to fight. Every minute that is spent lifting...
