    Why would they have to have agendas?
    Because they disagree with you?

    This would be one weird instragram post. The guy certainly draws a crowd when he trains. I would also hope one would understand the context, that it's a power work out and not the actual punching technique he uses in fights.

    I would know right away that it isn't an instagram filter. That's the problem. Some people watch footage like his, and assume it's as simple as a black and white insta filter, not realizing the other major issues with the cameras that don't capture depth or speed.
    The sound doesn't match up nicely.
    It ends up looking like a vogue art piece instead of a normal instagram training clip.

    Hes hitting the bag a lot nicer than it seems. It's just with the camera used, you don't feel the punches, you don't hear them.

    I wish we could purchase one of those old cameras they used for clips like this. It would be an extremely valuable experiment to film boxing with one of them.

    It's actually not a bad Norton defense highlight. He does some quality punching slipping from Cobb's aggression. Cobb gets off about 20 punches in the sequence and I would be surprised if more than two partially connected. Cobb is not very accurate and has poor timing but dodging 18 punches from a rangey guy that won't stop coming forward is still impressive.

    Yet when we see other fighters of the 30's hitting the bag we are impressed?

    Speaking solely for myself ,I'm very grateful that you do so.I don't necessarily have to agree with your interpretation of all them, but that's another story.
    Who has actually objected to you posting clips?
    No idea how I became ,"Mr Invisible Punch",and not bothered enough to inquire.

    Maybe you.
    For many, no.

    And with Primo, there is double fiction.
    Old production friction.
    And lack of SHW appreciation friction.
    It took Klitschko 10 years reign for us to accept his style.
    If he had only defended the belt twice, the casual fan would say that he was just a bumbling oaf who got lucky and picked up the belt when no1 else was around.

    You're right that the first Norton counter appears to partly land. Never said Cobb's combo lands. Not sure why/how you don't see punch variety.
