So David Lemeuix turned down a fight against Curtis Stevens on the undercard of Kovalev vs Pascal

He turned it down because

"It's not about [it being too soon]. Why would [Lemieux] be a co-main event? He's the biggest attraction in Montreal right now. Nobody sells more than him. I would never put him on as a co-feature. Kovalev can't sell 20% of what he sells," Estephan said.

Lemeuix thinks he goin Main Event on HBO...back to FS7 you go

Im sure the other brehs can explain to you why to do this N that better then I can

But from what I saw...all you threw were 1, 2s... I'd throw some hooks in there N uppercuts...work on different combinations

More head movement, bobbing N weaving, stay on the balls of your feet

Throw the jab at different levels...jab to the body then jab upstairs right after

You right imma start mix it up. It's hard because it hooks don't feel automatic, so it's not comfortable. I'm hoping once I get back working with a coach, it'll change.

I love throwing hooks on the bag tho, my favorite punch.

I've found B to feel much smoother while shadow boxing

Does B. Have a little swinging motion with it. Instead of a stiff turn in A?

B definitely feels more natural
He means do you turn your hand over before impact, or do you leave facing your body? Both work, its been said turning your hand over generates more power, but I don't agree. You're arm punching though. That's the first thing I'd look at, and completely squared.
