    I've put this video here because i feel this may help all of us who box or train and this is a fantastic video. Might of been posted before. What a damn great fighter Burley was. It talks about the stance etc. Hope people enjoy

    Yeah, one stance utilizes blocking more and the other utilizes slipping more. Cant say that one is necessarily more effective than the other.

    Great vid though.

  10. Great vid mate, thx for the post.

    The pause button got a nice workout here, it was also humourous of them using a photo of Oscar De La Hoya as a dummy pointing out weakness in a fighter.
