The 52 blocks is definitely effective, its just hard finding somebody to teach you right...

Still remember when Zab got rocked against Floyd and bust out the 52...Floyd looked at him like da fukk is this nikka doing and I think Lampley said something stupid to...I watched that fight at a homies place in BK and everyone was like oh shyt...

yo i remember that shyt..had me, my father, and my uncle like :mjlol: no this nikka didnt

@KyokushinKarateka

Watch that 3rd video from the op post.

Pretty much breaks down what im already saying.

:ohhh:
Didn't look at everything he was saying from that perspective when I first watched it.. but I see what you and he are talking about (if he is in fact correct)
However, just because it didn't start as being it's own 'fighting style', with training, styles, etc.. doesn't necessarily mean that it couldn't turn into one which it seems to have done today.

The story of Karate is roughly very similar in it's origins being born of a desperate need to defend one's self, not as a "fighting style" to be taught and learned and ranked. Yet, today, it is in fact just that.

:pachaha: I remember that. That's when I KNEW it was over for Zab. When a niqqa resort to the 52 in the ring....it's over. But I wasn't surprised because it's a hood thing and it's embedded in some of our souls, it's natural for some of us NYC cats:manny: BTW his 52 sucked and Floyd was like:demonic: when he saw that.

:yeshrug: Trying to look out for a breh. You won't find those matches.

As much as I admire the style, that's what makes the shyt suspect to any skeptic.. it shouldn't be hard to find a decent 52 vs boxer vid.

If it's as effective a style as they say, why not have a plethora of 52 vs boxing vids to prove the point :lupe:

That is a big issue with it as well, the lineage is not well maintained nor was the knowledge passed down a great deal. According to some who've been in 52 for a while the TRUE "old heads" or "masters" of the style are all too old to remember because they've been out of it for so long, doing life in prison, or dead.

Anybody under like the age of 55-60 trying to claim to be a "master" in this is suspect..

Middle rounds, I want to say 5 or 6...

Been a long time since I watched that fight though breh...

He only did like 4 blocks...A lot people probably thought he got Kostya Tzyu'd again but it was the 52...

Full fight

I Think this little snippet was when he was trying to execute some 52 :pachaha:
