A corky thing I noticed in old De La Hoya fights

Video please?

 

pacquiao calf obsession is similar. Dunno but its odd

 

hilarious

 

wow

 

Big George used to love to tell us how "the most important man in the ring other than the fighters is the referee"

He loved to say how a referee was "too small" to ref a fight :roflatsch

He said this all the time.

 

Lol. The whole gameplan changes.

 

Hahah. To be fair, Oscar does have some pretty serious shoulders.

 

It just goes to show that even if someone is/has been a professional in a sport it doesn't mean that they know the first thing about the human body. ESPECIALLY in a sport like boxing. The body works as a whole unit, focusing on someones calf muscles or shoulders is idiotic.

 

Speaking of De La Hoya's shoulders they looked more prominent (bulging at the front and flat at the back) because he neglected performing any pulling resistance training motions in training, all he did was pushups. That contributed to his stiffness, throwing himself off balance when he punched and his difficulty bringing his hands back when he punches. Just a simple thing like that can make a huge difference, he had terrible posture because of it.

 

"Just look at that face"
"Trinidad is taking his time because he sees that pretty face of De La Hoya"
"A guy sees that pretty face of Oscar and his whole gameplan changes"
-Gregor Foreman

 

Commentators used to talk about Cintron's shoulders too. Kinda creepy but whatever...

 

Waiting for the thread "if you could build a fighter with different body parts..."

Before Lewis got KTFO by Rahman, George was saying

"Lennox Lewis is a BIG CAT!"
