Someone criticized Primo as a boxer because he often pawed his jab. But doesn't Wladmir often paw the jab too? I found the criticism harsh and unfair and was wondering what others think, because it's a criticism I often hear. Discuss!
Looks eerily similar to Primo tbh This content is protected Oh, except for the massive difference in film quality. Also, this is a highlight reel, not a character assassination gif.
I never got the "paw" criticism for any fighter, unless that's all they did. You can't shoot torpedoes down the pipe every time, a paw is necessary to create openings and find range.
There's nothing spectacular whatsoever about that jab. Just a normal regular jab any fighter woth their salt is able to pop. Decent ? Yes.... ATG ? Nowhere close. And whats with the entire video consisting of 3 scrubs who were standing motion-less right in from of him? Lets be honest here.. WK was more or less a HW Felix Sturm , only with more power but with less of the flashy combo's. P4P skill wise i do not know who i'd rank higher. Sturm certainly had the better jab. Why does nobody say Sturm had an ATG jab? He got stoppages off his jab. Look at this tape. He's almost jabbing this guys head clean off his shoulders. In the 7th round it was a jab that ended the fight. This content is protected
All heavy s should be taught to jab like holmes. That jab in its self was a weapon. But in answer to the thread they are similar jabbers, not the greatest jabs in history but not the worst.
