Styles: Who Do You Most Try To Imitate?

I guess Wlad. I basically just try to fight as tall as I can since I'm the same size as Wlad and I'm not terribly comfortable with in-fighting though I'm gradually getting better and more comfortable at it. Try to mimmick Golota's combo punching though

 

When I was in the Amateurs in my teens I box defensively, I never really liked to lead. I would just jab until he gave me an opening to counter. That is why now that I am an adult i like Boxer punchers and defensive minded fighters that counter..

Like JMM is my favorite the way he fights is beautiful....

 

Okay, I think there's a few short clips of sparring and an exhibition match in here but its old, and shadow boxing takes up like the first 12 seconds. I need to make some more footage I'm a lot lot better now, that was reckless and sloppy.

Depends on who I'm fighting. Usually a Holyfield - Pacquiao hybrid.

 

dnt take this as me attacking u or bashing hatting ect. i just think u fight really weird. idk if u pack a punch but it seems like if u used ur speed more to give u torque and leverage on ur punches and it might take a way ur pitter patter speed punches it will really help with speed in the long run. thats koo tjat u really put a vid up tho. ima try and get a 15 or so clip of shadow boxing. i think thats all my phone will let me.

 

but in the mean time here is me at bball camp as a freshmen. enjoy this short clip

im a tall guy that likes to brawl given the chance, vitali klitchko?
but imitation wise always tried to get a holmes jab going..

 

Salvador Sanchez

 

The left hook is much harder than it looks from the awkward angles, the jab and any hook with the right are horse crap in general though.

Some people have a really hard time with my style, others keep their head and just jab and counter hard when the openings are there. People who try to match the work rate usually wind up looking like Willy Wise against Mosley - its not natural to them and they get hit way more than they would if they just kept their cool. Most agree I'm an awkward guy to fight but not necessarily hard to hit. Never look good on film but for some reason guys don't deal with me well in front of them.

 

thats what i was gettin from that video. i think u were very strange and a tough fight.ainly cause of work rate. i got that from sparring. workrate fighters are always tough to beat. only thing i could think of is countering before u throw a punch, if that makes sense. watch for left hooks in between ur flurries. it looks like u are ready to be hit flush with them.

Bernard Hopkins. Safety first, hands up, in and out. :good

Ricardo Lopez.

 

Naseem Hamed.

 

What weight are you/did you fight at? I used to make 118 when I first started fighting but at the end I was 128 lbs and didn't like cutting weight very much (5'8'')

Yeah something about the way you throw reminds me of the pressure guys a little like Castillo and some of those 1950s guys who dropped the right in close but kind of hard. posture too. Did you have any problems with the very mobile tall guys on the outside?
