    A small thing on Larry Holmes was filmed at the gym about a year ago, and I was in it (again). I am hitting the mits around 4:40, and just after that it shows me hitting the bag and Larry telling me that he would make me "da champ".

    Hey, there you go!

    You're telegraphing the jab with a slight drop before you throw it. Shoot it and keep your wrist straight, you seem to be curling it a little.

    Already fixed that, but thanks for the tip. This video was from around January, 2008, and my technique has vastly improved. I have also grown a good 3 inches.

    Yes, although I am taking Larry for granted now. He walks into the gym, and I like that he is there, but I don't really appreciate the fact that he is a boxing legend anymore, and that I get to see him on a weekly basis.

    Nice work Bill,you look a little young there,I'd say you have a bit of time to realise Larry's prophecy!

    I was around 5'4 there, now I'm around 5'6-5'7. I do know where Larry stands in history, but at the hall of fame, it was kind of weird seeing people get all excited about him. I'm so used to him being just another guy in the gym...
