Bernard Hopkins Lead Right Hand Instruction

Awesome.

 

best ive seen on here for quite a while, thanks.

 

Hopkins learned all these trick with the old school cats in Philly and then he added his own flair to it.

It would be great if he goes on to become a trainer in his hometown of Philly and help bring the city's boxing tradition back, it would be a shame to see all that boxing knowledge go to waste.

 

Great vids thanks for sharing. The first Hopkins vid was excellent, in the second the guy talked a bit too much though. Donaires was very good too. Reminded me of Patrick Stewart in Extras though....'I've seen everything'...

Anyone who has any similar please post.

 

Great video, thanks for posting. It's not too often you get to see a fighter talk technique like that.

 

great thanks !

 

Hopkins has a great ring iq and he would be an awesome trainer, really interesting stuff

 

Good stuff, gotta love Bernard.

 

Wtf happened to the original post?

 

How I long for technical discussion on this wasteland.

 

Very interesting how Donaire kept saying he sees everything in the ring. Everytime i see Donaire fight i feel like he sees things in slow motion. He himself said he feels like hes in the matrix and you can definitely see that when he fights.

On Bernard i wonder if all his tricks and knowledge would some be negated if you were a southpaw? It seems that all his textbook fundamentals and classic techniques work well with an orthodox stance but dont know if it would still work effectively as a southpaw. All the angles change.

 

Obviously the techniques would be a little different against a southpaw but this is a guy who proclaims himself to be "the southpaw assassin" since he's arguably never lost to one (Calzaghe fight in question) in around 10 or so meetings so I think it's probably safe to assume he's got that covered as well.

 

Naw i didnt mean how Bernard would do against a southpaw i meant would all of bernards tricks in his toolset work if you were a southpaw.

 

I think they would be completely different. Some basic rules of distance change, but I would guess that the traps, the mix of defense and offense, that all changes with the angles.
