    Yes B-hop was mentioned on the vid, I think this is how he set up the right that floored Calzaghe.

    Lightning Lonnie Smith. He used that walk away move several times to floor Billy Costello in their fight, if I remember it correctly.

    What he is talking about in the video is what is referred to, in some circles, as stealing the right hand. Different than "setting up" a right hand in a traditional, 1-2 sense.

    Setting up by my definition is not pot shot leading like FMM or straight out looking to land it like a Marciano...it is using strategy to set it up like Foreman did Moorer am I right?
