Boxing: The Art of Aggression (video)

Sorry to disappoint. Cotto is certainly a great fighter, but most of the sections where I would have put him (like precision or heart) I was either pressed for time or had way too much potential footage to work with. Hell, I almost forgot to put Corrales-Castillo in the section for heart because I was trying to squeeze so many different clips in there... originally I had the bit from Pacquiao-JMM I where Pac knocked Marquez down 3 times and then Marquez came back instead until I realized my mistake.

Aside from that I'm glad everyone liked it and I've been blown away by the reactions. Thanks for the kind words everyone, and if there are any criticisms, or suggestions for improvements, feel free to let me know.

 

No bother at all. The one from accuracy is one version of Claudia's theme from the movie Unforgiven.

As for the others:
Power is a section of Carmina Burana called O Fortuna
Speed is a bit from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon called Night Fight
Relentlessness is a song called Pompeii by a group called E.S. Posthumus
Ruthlessness is the theme from the Saw movies
Precision is, like I said before, Claudia's Theme from Unforgiven
Toughness I actually don't know. I was trying to find a song to use and ran into this promo for the Pac-Cotto fight and thought the music would be a great match. Never did find out what it was though.

Heart is the Rocky soundtrack song Going the Distance
And the last section is from the Gladiator soundtrack and called Now We Are Free.

:huh Um, I grew up as a big fan of JCC. He's in a couple of different sections, although usually only briefly.

In part 1 you can find him in the relentless section when he's pounding on Greg Haugen at 3:07-3:12, he shows up in the ruthless section at 4:46-4:50 beating on a guy named Buchanan who refused to touch gloves at the start of their fight and tried to dis Chavez. (Big mistake).

In part 2 he shows up for just a couple of seconds in precision, buckling Terrence Alli between 0:380-0:40, he laughs off a monster shot from Roger Mayweather in the toughness section between about 1:59 and 2:02, and then the Taylor knockdown shows up in the end section at 6:33. Originally I was going to use Chavez in more sections showing his combinations and body punching, but I wound up cutting those parts out of the final video.

As for your other point, I probably could have included Sanchez in the little tribute in those last seconds, but to be honest I barely included Diego. At first I was just going to keep it to Gatti, Forrest, and Arguello, but I decided Corrales really deserved it for all the thrills he brought the fans, even though he died years before the other guys. Sanchez deserves all sorts of tributes, but so do lots of other guys, and I decided to just keep it a little more recent.

 

Yeah, I regret not working Kostya in there somewhere, there are few punchers more precise in the sport. I may have gotten a tad carried away with the Arguello footage in that section...

Thanks for the kind words though.

Well, Leonard is all over the speed section, but I feel bad that many of the great speedsters got left out of other parts. Unfortunately since this video was meant to showcase offense and most of the great speedsters are more defensive or counterpunchers, I didn't get as much of a chance to show them off.

Tito also makes an appearance or two, he shows up in the power section cleaning Vargas' clock (look at 0:50 in the first vid) and also again for a few seconds in relentlessness. (Look around 3:19-3:23, first vid).
