    We already have an in depth collection of Rez "KO KING nick in action on the bag etc, and although he is giving up age and size he has shown incredible heart in 20page threads, this man will never give up. Not to mention Contro has been travelling Europe like he is Keith Thurman or some other god damned hippy and neglected his training, can he shake off the rust? I also happen to know that Contro (the fool) has already given away the secret of the mysterious but lethal 'shoulder snap' to his foe. Like Holmes before him, will Reznick be the student who F'd up his teacher? Only time will tell….

    But what about the "elite haymakers" and "video game punches" that ive been learning about? Are they textbook?

    Yes laying off for 3 years makes my technique worse for sure I had a trainer who kept reminding me to keep my hands higher and be less sloppy everyday in the gym And i gained a good 50 pounds of fat which i definitely felt weighing me down when i tried shadowboxing again. Maybe your body is different?

    You aren't Marciano. You are shadowboxing.

    You don't have an opponent in trouble like Marciano had LaStarza. You are shadowboxing.

    That is bs. Not having a trainer around to tell you to keep your hands up doesn't make you go back to bad technique unless you barely trained in the first place. Gaining weight doesn't make technique worse it only slows you down.

    I trained enough to have my technique deteriorate to the point where it got a bit sloppy, Ive been off for almost twice as long as i ever trained. Ive seen plenty of fighters better than me with worse technique and much worse guys with close to perfect form in shadowboxing. I dont know what you need from me?

    Portrayed where? Please show me my post where i claimed to be anything other than an amateur.
    I dont remember claiming anything outlandish about myself. How would you know how good i am anyway? If I had posted a video of prime Roy Jones shadowboxing and blurred out his face you would be criticizing him as well. And yes of course im not roy Jones but i was good enough of an athlete(and mentally self aware enough in terms of staying calm when getting punched) to be atleast above average in my amateur team with the form and technique i had.
    please show me where i portrayed myself as anything outlandish

    I don't have shadow boxing footage but some kid filmed this for me on the gyms brand new bag.

    After a 4 hour workout:

    Let's go champ!

    I can upload footage of shadow boxing too.
    Pretty sure I got you in that as well.

    It was the tone of your posts. The authority you were portraying yourself as when discrediting an atg fighter's technique.

    You obviously don't get it. Elite fighters can do certain things and get away with things that the average amateur or novice such as yourself can't.

    You know what you posted and what you were trying to do. Don't play stupid here.

    I didnt mean to be condescending, I never put any fighters greatness into question, just how their technique back then stacks up against modern technique. I dont have to be any authority to give my opinion on how much an ATGs of 80 years ago form deviates from what we consider textbook today. There is an objective measure to that. What isnt objective is trying to determine if the change in what is considered proper form from back then vs now is beneficial or not. And it is MY OPINION that technique has tightened up over the years in a beneficial way.

    Kool kevin doesn't know the reality of trying to look like James Toney in the ring, and getting punched in the head, with no idea what to do next.

    Let's go Kevin! Show me what you got, slugger!
    If not, it's okay, Eddie Ezzard will treat you for some free 3rd rate jokes :(

    Sorry man. There is a lot of garbage out there.
    I found this place by asking Dempsey1234, one of, if not the most knowledgeable person about the modern boxing scene on this forum. Bet some of you didn't see that one coming!

    He has a mega thread where he has helped 100's of people for free.
    I'll never forget his recommendation. If you are looking for the best gym in your city, ask Dempsey.
