Wait yomoms you said Kell 'Duck Duck' Brook is a better technical fighter than BATB?! :heh: I'm done with that argument pal

yup. better stance, better jab, throws shorter punches. doesnt swing wildly in exchanges. doesnt twist his ankles every figth because his movements are all over the place. nope brook stays within his stance, uses correct footwork. easy to see. clear as day.

bradley has fought 1 disciplined fight where he uses proper footwork and technique and that was against a moving heavy bag. americans think being athletic=being technical.

you can wrap your hands like a mummy but trusting your wraps to save you is only going to get you hurt. dont trust your wraps to be in charge of your punches. be in charge of your own punches. make sure you always make a true fist. never bend your wrist. jack dempsey and archie moore said to punch with the last three knuckles because when you make a fist the last three knuckles are the knuckles that are above the wrist and when you punch there your fist and your wrist become immobilized into one piece.

I suppose this might be a silly question but I'd like to ask you and everyone else as well

What length of hand wraps do you use? 180" or 108"?

I personally use 180 but now I am curious if I may be over wrapping my hands when I thought I am providing padding for them.

180 is ok just make sure you dont go around your knuckles too much. there is a temptation to go around and around your knuckles a lot to try to get a more compressed and therefore harder fist but you can go around too much and make it hard for you to make a true fist. you can go around and around your wrist a lot but punching with good technique is what is going to really save your wrists not your wraps.

Aight breh my bad. Pac has a long, not powerful 1-2. Bradley's small and could never deal with real power. And, Brooks the best WW in the world, everyone's just ducking him (when he just ducked running the fade w ch:mjlol:ves). My bad.

Brits are the GOAT at overrating their fighters :mjlol:

not really. what other british fighter do i big up? i cant stand the way most british fighters box with their hands glued to their head. brook is just technically that good. on a purely technical aspect. not talking about resume. he does everything by the book.

Such technical prowess that he barely scrapped by Porter struggle ass :dead:

nikkas be gassing this dude up like he Floyd/Ward or something :stopitslime:

How about he put that technical skill to work and beat somebody worth a damn :camby:

He isn't going to fight Khan he gonna retire and Brits gonna give him that Calzaghe treatment I can see it now.

porters style is so ugly he makes every single fight hes in look shyt. brook dealt with him accordingly. something broners retarded ass couldnt do, malignaggi is slick and has skills and got washed by him. he bulls in holds and swings wild hooks. brook caught him cominng in every time and prevented him from working on the inside. brook has had harder spars than that back in sheffield.

one of these yanks needs to step up and fight him. if hes such easy pickings why havent any of the other champs called him out or tried to negotiate a fight? i mean thats another easy belt for them right. everybody in the boxing world knows brook is a problem.

Brook ain't seeing #Godzaghe tho. :sas2:

Brook's career now is what Joe's would have been if he would have just retired after the Lacy win.

Yeah the yanks are the ones who need to step up here :russ:




That is a pretty fair assessment :obama:

calzaghe lost to hopkins. and beat an ancient roy jones. an ancient chris eubank. jeff lacy was an overrated bum. who did he really beat?

I had him losing to BHop as well but that close loss>>>>>>>Brook whole resume including Ernie 3x Smith the gawd :birdman:

so what? brook fought some guy 3 times early im his career. nobody cares. he was building his craft up properly. amir khan was dropped by willie limond who is notorious for having pillows for fists.

What does Khan have to do with this? :sas1:

Seems you and your boy got something in common :sas2:

Khan on to bigger and better things, literally :umad:

Meanwhile Brook still calling Khan crib when he ain't even give him his numbers :scusthov:
