Was thinking about the fights from the weekend
Berto, Khan, and Ward all have ++ jab's and it all seems to be part virgil hunters influence(only shyt he does), but Angulo doesn't even fukkin throw one, if he does its trash. Why y'all think that is? Also, the Garcia camp except for maybe Rios and even he can if he wants have really good jabs, Maidana's has clearly improved 2-3x with the jab as he uses them to set up for offense instead of just throwing them to throw em.
Mikey has one of the best jab's in the business but I think that may come more from his pops.
My point is, I always thought the jab was something you stick with your technicalities, b/c it's such a huge part of the sport? I understand having variations and different release points and all that shyt but I mean the fundamentals of it.
Also Berto's jab is fukking powerful! He was hitting that shyt harder than his right hands.

I assume Mikey got it from his brother too cause it's like yeah my pops is cool but my brother a fukking world champ. You know how we do everything our brothers do too.

Angulo might just be an old school I wanna fight Mexican :manny:

Jabs are VERY important, alot of people still dont throw it enough though.

When Broner started jabbing and boxing Emmanuel Taylor, that's when he was able to take Taylor out of his rhythm and start landing flurries on him.

Hell, Winky Wright used a jab to come back to relevance and acquire a couple titles:heh:

People should always keep that part of their repetoire

i agree
what im saying is i would think a jab would be so ingrained into a fighter it'd be difficult to change them.

you have to include wlad's jab..cuz he's really the only fighter i see today that actually punishes cats with it..well him and GGG
ward's jab is nice because he actually steps into it which is how i like to see jabs thrown
floyd's jab to the body and rigo's southpaw jab are worth a mention
