Anyone notice he has a different style of mitt workout? Everyone hits the mitts straight forward like eye level, he shoots his punches up like he is fighting a 7 foot guy. What is the purpose of him doing that when his opponent isn't taller? Is this so he gets full extension on his punches by having him shoot them up high instead of at face level?
