revisiting this old classic how was so much power and speed generated ? :

[BlackDiBiase]

this shyt was like magic, next year im trying to find a boxing gym and just do it for "cardio" lol.

experts any help please, props.

looking closely his leg work is shuffling his not leaning into his strikes, how do you optimize your strength like that.

Consistency and footwork.

The arms are secondary, the feet (short steps) put you in the position. The momentum, core and thighs/hips are what predominantly creates the power.

Punching itself is years of technique, refined.

That old man had clearly thrown countless short hooks as a shorter man and knew how to a)hit his target b)move his feet and keep his head at a safe reach from harms way.

It’s a great video, agreed. Goes to show that boxing is technique and experience more than most things.

Some people would argue that old mans punches were a bit wild and could have better technique. Every one of them landed so I’d be less concerned about that and more concerned about keeping your chin tucked and covered .

Old man also controlled the ring, if you’re in the centre, then more often than not you’re the one dictating what’s happening.

This is much more apparent at the novice level.

Chin should always be covered by the rear hand, no ifs, ends or buts.

quick question please, who is the greatest boxer you have ever seen ? i want to youtube his highlights lol.

Helps that the person he's hitting has absolutely no defence and can't throw a punch. He was discombobulated from the first hit

you can have your hand up and get hit.

the advice to just keep your hands up fails fighters so, so often. boxing is more situational and dynamic than that.

I guess so. But as a general rule you’d be moronic to teach otherwise early on.

i'll give you a specific example. if a guy gets himself a little off to the right, it lets him throw a left hook a little inside your glove and paint that corner like a pitcher.

it will often happen that trying to block a punch will be the wrong thing to do in a situation, and that situation will call for something else, but the fighter will not have situational awareness because he will believe himself to be safe when he has a hand up.

the fighter that fights with his hands low will be viewed as the reckless one, but of the two he is the one who is always using his situational awareness, and always training it and improving it.

For me skill wise, Roy Jones is the goat. His talent is something you couldn't teach though, he's the type of athlete that would have dominated any sport.
