Which Fighters have you Studied/Copied?

good point. People often AZZume lots of movement = good footwork

 

Yup, base your style on fundamentals.

Guys like Ali and Jones are VERY few and far between.

 

All that V-cash weighing you down?

Lack of balls brah?

Yeah :twisted:

 

I don't teach hands down shizzle, Prime Jones had very good anticipation, and is one of the best feinters I've ever seen :good

 

Louis
Tyson
Duran
McCallum
Toney
Palomino
Marquez

& many, many others

 

I've got a sound defence and foot movement :deal but i'm in constant Chad Dawson mode in there with my output :-(

 

I actually do fight somewhat like him and not just look like him

 

Such an underutilized aspect of the sport these days. . . .

 

:rofl:roflatsch

 

Lol nah, I got my "in the cut" fighters I take stuff from too. . .

For me, Ricky Burns is a guy I'll emulate. . . I like the way transitions a left hook to the body, off the jab. . . Very crisp combination puncher. . .

Also like the way he times his high-guard. . .

 

Yep. There's so many damn things that fighters don't do anymore.

We're short on feinters
Guys who cut the ring off
Commited body punchers

etc.

 

I used a tennis ball from a swingball set, crimped the string to some elastic and attached it to a belt my girlfriend (at that time) had via a knot through one of the holes and fastened it around my head.

It's hard to get the hang of, especially when a tennis ball is bashing your ****ing eyeballs to tears

 

Donaire and Floyd.

Successful styles.

I think it's a simple style although boring to the outside observer. Just wait for the other guy and find a moment to land something.Of course he is more brilliant at it. Because he knows where the opening are at what moment (time) and what punch to throw and land sometimes i am amazed.But it's less work than say a brawler that throws millions of punches and probably missing half. Just make one or two punch count and win that way less work.Kind of like what Floyd does but Floyd is just god gifted at it because he is hell a lot faster and has the best defense I have ever seen.He can create offense with his shoulder scroll defense.
