How if it was possible could Frank have improved his movement? Would this of made a difference to his career? .I think having faster feet would of helped a lot. Any thoughts guys ?
He could’ve had better technique… but most importantly he just needed to relax, Toney said it’s 95% of boxing.
He was not in any immediate danger of being perfect, so yes, I think that a lot could have been improved.
Someone described the work they saw Bruno doing - they said his conditioning, strength training etc was very impressive but that when it came to his pad work and the technical advice of his coach it was very, very basic… from what I read of a Bruno bio his early education was from memory “figure it out and spar” but about the pads and coaching it was a public workout so maybe it was just going through the motions for people to watch, I want to add his confidence would’ve always held him back even if he knew everything Louis did.
I think he was moved along too much and protected too long, you can build confidence like a muscle but it was Bruno’s Achilles heel so yeah - he always had trouble with his mind I believe Marlon Starling did too, as did Mustafa Muhammad but they had a vast technical arsenal to offset that.
