Why Roy Jones Jr had no head movement vs Tyson - Tom Yankello pad work fails RJJ

I think RJJ didn't expect Tyson head movement to still be so fast.

 

I think his head movement was lost long ago, remember vs Tito he shelled up behind a high guard. His style always relied on reflexes and once they went much of what made him special was gone.

Tyson in comparison was always a more technical fighter, his head movement was often a way to draw leads so he could counter as much as it was to evade punches, hence why he does the side to side movement at times when no punches are being thrown at him as he's trying to illicit a response and either countering or reading his opponents reactions.

 

That fool from Fouts Boxing has never trained an actual fighter; he says so in the comments on his Facebook page
He has really no business speaking about Tom Yankello because he doesn't do what Tom does. You notice that Yankello never talks about how the Fouts guy runs his boxercize classes?
That said, he is basically correct about the pad work being done except...nobody, not Tom Yankello, not RJJ, nobody that knows anything expected much from last night. No clock was going to be rolled back.
So why would he be doing promotional videos showing RJJ struggling to do things? He looped that clip because Roy still has some hand speed and what he was doing requires nothing, really, but boxing fans are easily impressed.
Even on here, among the "hard cores", people routinely crow about how sharp some guy looks on the mitts, doing nothing.
Two old guys sparred to raise money for charity, the judges cards were pre set for a draw, and nobody got hurt. If that Fouts guy thought that they were preparing for anything beyond that, he's a fool.

 

Once again I'll second that Fouts knows nothing about boxing. Fouts Boxing Theory is exatly that. His theory, he's also an *******.

 

I thought the OP had an original thought... But nope, there's a film study.

 

Be that as it may, everything Fouts said is still true.

 

The thing that annoys me about him, is when he targets somebody- like Yankello or Orlando Canizales- and tries to paint them in a bad light to make himself look better.

 

IDGAF what he thinks about trainers. One day I decided to watch one of his slow -mo videos on Roy Jones. He hates Roy Jones and obviously let it cloud this description of the footage. I argued pretty calmly in the comments, wasn't disrespectful to him until he called at least 3 of Roy's opponents by name "****ing nobodies". No respect for the fighters, even good fighters. Matt Fouts can eat a bag of dicks. If you follow him you are learning wrong from shitty person.

He deleted his comments, but mine calling him out are still here. I'm "Come Watch Fights" over on YT.
