For orthodox vs southpaw, that straight right can be the deciding factor....Hopkins used it against Tarver and was especially effective. Although it works vice versa for southpaws and the straight left, which Zab Judah was effective with.
I had to watch the Video twice to see what the hell Jirov got hit with it was so fast. Anyway, I found the video cuz BJ mentioned it in the interviw on the front page, they asked him whether it was true that he KO'd Jirov in sparring, he said check Youtube.
Jirov's legs may be going, he ate a nice righthand too, and Jirov would have laid this dude out 5 years ago atsch But then again defense has never been Jirov's strongpoint..:-(
If you compare the video with Haye vs Mormeck with 10 ounce gloves and see BJ with 16 or 18 ounce gloves in sparring, I'd say that BJ is clearly faster than Haye.
And you're about to fight this dude. You're a fighter so I understand that you have a big ego and all but do you ever doubt yourself when you're up against a very tough opponent?
Since that video was uploaded the day before his interview was put on this site and he says check youtube for the proof... its obvious he and his team put it there. I only mention this because in most gyms I know, what happens in the gym stays in the gym.
YOU MISSED THE POINT HE points out his peers strengths and doesn t magnify there weaknesses..,all class really
