    that's all good - i'd try and find my own style if i were you. fighters like dempsy, hopkins, barrera are worth studying for their skills in drawing in opponents and making them do the work while slowly banking counters and body shots.

    tyson was amazing, but he wasn't the smartest boxer out there and tyson with brains would have been the greatest IMO

    If he moves around at the gym with enough sparring partners, I think he will find his own style. Its just movement and experience, and finding whats natural to you. I think shadow boxing and sparring is the fastest way to finding authentic self expression in boxing.

    You tell 'em, acb. These guys with their negative comments are just being nasty & think they're cool.

    Keep up the good work, jonesjrp4p1.:good

    great stuff, young man...good balance, quick hands and footwork.
    remember to keep the chin tucked even when striking; your first punch you raised up your chin... something basic, but mastering the basics are the key; just watch cotto training/sparring/fighting.
    well done!!!!:happy

    As said before... You are a little high at first.. What weight are you at... You look a little big for your height.
