    Must have passed you in the crowd at the Felt Forum for the Buchanan-Malave fight, BD. Chu Chu's a dear friend. It broke my heart.

    Joe Louis


    I try to emulate his punches in my room every single day. I've reached a point where it feels like my brain is shaking with the punches.


    A bit off topic, but does anyone happen to know if thats normal? ^ I hope im not damaging my self

    Work on mechanics. Don't throw so hard. Suspect that will solve it, r

    I guess you would be a natrual LW , with good power, great on the inside with underrated defence.

    But I want to punch like Joe Louis :(

    lol


    In his book, he says that while shadow boxing, you should punch your hardest. I have recently adjusted my punching where I can punch my hardest without hurting my arms or stretching them out. However my hooks and uppercuts have so much force in them they shake my head slightly, sometimes even my jaw. It's hard to just abandon these punches because theyre so powerful (I think). But yea, if my head doesnt get adjusted to it, it may be in my best interest to try a new punching style

    Too tall for being a Pep, John. Robinson was the one I had in mind. He was my height and weight (although a tad more cut;)).

    Tommy is an inch taller than me, and must have at least 4 inches on me in reach.
