    Good thread, I don't box anymore, but I guess I just really applied stuff from a lof of boxers. When I started out I was crazy throwing left hooks (attempting to fight like Trinidad) moving my head side to side... but later on I just found myself trying to block punches like Winky and countering... I found it very effective :good

    Volume punching doesn't mean they were offensive fighters. Although Pernell could come forward I would still call him a counter puncher, seeing as a lot of his offensive was based on making the other guy miss and coming back off that.

    It works, it's what I try to do. Volume punch and come forward a lot more, it wins fights in the amateurs.
