Old Time Punching Machines?

I did mine in street fights tbh, with gloves on I'm fine although having brittle hands affects you massively psychologically IMO..

 

It seems like the punches where I half commit are the ones that can hurt my knuckles.

 

That's why if you're going to fight it's better to do it in a ring with hand protection.

 

Yep I do try nowadays although I can sense trouble arising in the future with a young upcoming so called hardcase....

Tbh I can do without the hassle and the risk of getting sent down.

 

Exactly, walk away best options with your head up, and believe me I know how hard that can be. Further injuries that last well after the fight and of course when the law steps in you'll be hurting in many different ways. Good luck leave the hardcase to get his from somebody else.

 

Don't worry I do try avoid it nowadays but I can sense something happening. He's around 10 years younger than me and thinks he's the business. He's made a reputation of cheap shotting men in pubs and being a thug.

I can honestly say I've never caused a fight in my life but if it comes to it he will be going to sleep if he trys it on with me.

 

My dad said it best, "Try your best to get out of a fight but if you can't make sure you win!"

 

It all started when me and this young thug along with another bloke went home with the local drug dealing psycho's girlfriend at the time. I was an idiot and ended up nailing her that night.

I didn't think much of it until a few months later when I got a phone call off him saying he was going to slit my throat and kill me. Long story short, the drug dealer used to be friendly with this young lad but when he heard that we all went back to the house he stormed into the young lads mums pub and beat him up and smashed the pub up. Me and my brother ended up having a run in with the psycho and it was left at that but it will never fully die down. The young lad is back friendly with the dealer and has got a chip on his shoulder. Let's see how it pans out, could be interesting.

 

That sounds like a bad situation.

Keep as far away from it as the circumstances permit.

 

Sounds like the butt heads we have here in the states. Even if you kick his butt, if he cant beat you with his fists he will most likely come back with something else. It's not a good situation. Here in South Texas the guy would just disappear. This type of guy sounds like he has nothing to lose but his street rep. Good luck stay watchful.

 

Well, he floored a very good Gardner 3 times for the light heavyweight championship in 1903

Floored Obrien in 1904, in a match that should have been ruled a KO as the timekeeprt said there was plenty of time in the last round.

"Police Captain Hamm stopped the fight after Fitzsimmons caught O'Brien with a straight left-hand punch to the chin that floored him in the sixth and last round. The timekeeper clanged the bell ending the fight as soon as he saw the Captain. It was said that the officials stopped the fight to prevent O'Brien getting knocked out "

^^ Some home cooking in a Philly-based fight.

Floored a then 14-4 fighter in Grimm who had never been stopped at least ten times in a six round match in 1903

Oh sure he could not punch past 1900. Not.

I suppose you don't think O'Brien was decent? The reports indicate KO is the best results

Why don't you ask Adam Pollack if the thinks Fitz could not punch after 1900!

The Grimm Fitz fought was 14-4. Later he became a punching bag, but he was fine for this fight.

Fitz hurt his heads on Jeffries iron head, landing some of his best shots. I suppose the damage done in your small mind matches your opinion that he could not punch past 1900. DUH.

Jeffries himself said he never took such punishment in 1902, well past your skewed drawn up line past 1900, when Fitz Flattened both Sharkey and Ruhlin that year.

If Fitz couldn't punch past 1900, why did he damage Jeffries so much? You're out of logic once again... In hindsight, you could have said past 1903, and had a leg to stand one.

Now I get it, you said Marciano lacked one punch power, and have added to your incorrect statements by saying Fitzsimmons could punch post-1900 either trying to dimish Jeffries KO win over Fitz in 1902. AGENDA EXPOSED.

Well done. Just when I think you can't top yourself, you do it again.

 

What an idiot you are. Fit KO'd 4 fighters after 1900, 5 if you count O'Brien who was class. He also floored a class fighters like Gardner three times. Like I said, no one buying that Fitz could not hit post-1900. Some of the shots he landed on Jeffries in 1902 ( Past 1900 I know you're weak at math ) were huge shots. Ask Adam, he'll tell ya.

Power is the last thing to go.
