I type in the name of the fight I want to see on the search on my computer and often I get a good result. I use the google search but there are others you can use. I saw the $100.00 Mayweather vs Conor on line the day after the fight from the opening bell till the end and the film was clear and high quality.You can view all kinds of fights from modern fights to very old fights of 50 years ago or older.
tried that.
For example I wanted to watch Canelo vs Lara but couldn't find any decent quality footage on Youtube or google.
It normally works but can't even find 480p let alone HD of Canelo v Lara.
So you basically DKSAB.
HWs rely less on technique as power is more relevant but outside of Wilder (an outlier) no one has "atrocious" technique, and the fact you would even jokingly suggest the most refined p4p fighter is technically anything but outstanding means you don't know what you are watching, at all. Fury does everything well in the ring, it isn't even debatable.
Lmao we talking semantics here.
I might give you atrocious being too harsh but If you take a. Look at fury shadow boxing and still say he is techniqually sound as in textbook boxing you are a fool

Thats literally my whole point. I make the argument that a lot of heavyweights or at least a good chunk are not techniqually as lighter wieght divisions. Old fighters like holyfield or tyson were techniqually perfect
This is the second weird thread you have made since i have been here. Do you actually follow boxing?
What was the first one?
No I'm dead serious.
I have never realised them wearing any protective cups up until a fight where the gear almost hang out out of his trunks
Hopefully I am not becoming the next Alexkid lmao
Couldn't agree more with the original poster!
And regarding the Thurman/Garcia fight:
It literally took me 10 hours to watch the fight.
Had to stop almost every round and take an hour break because it was hella boring.
Uh oh
Get ready to be lectured by "boxing history experts" who making brilliant observations like 181 pound "heavyweights" having been way faster than 245 pound heavyweights
To answer your question I think you can only get so much out of watching tape. Every fighter possesses little nuances, but trying to exactly emulate them is a waste of time compared to just knowing the basic rock-paper-scissors relationships between styles. For the latter, the more recent the better.
Can you elaborate what you mean by rock-paper-scissors ?
Robinson fought over a 100 bums / GGG could stop those 100 bums one every day.
You people are dreamers living in a time you weren't even born its the good ol days syndrome. even with the footage available were you can see how limited they were.
Man this will turn into some heated arguement...
Gonna grab some snacks and watch :argue:
Ye i know for a fact that Thai boxers push their bodies till their absolute limit and most people in thailand start thaiboxing @ a very young age, since there is so much poverty in thailand many of the kids either chose between trying to pursue muay thai or work on farms etc to be able to help out their families, most of them dont have hobbies cause theyre required to do something with their lifes or starve so those who are talented muay thai fighters 99% of the time are fully dedicated, training pretty much every single day, i asked a farmer when i was in phuket how much he earned a day, he would work 10-12hrs a day and earn 110 baht which is ~3$, and even the aspiring muay thai fighters get paid minimal for their fights, so you have to be really special and work hard as fk to get out of the streets in Thailand
And ye most thaifighters wont have the boxing skills of western boxing since muay thai is much more centered around clinching and elbows and knees etc, was @ alot of gyms and muay thai shows and youd rarely see anyone throw a jab
Oh and the link you shared is broken
Does this link work?

their whole lives you cant part time this.
Boxing is a way of life, I have done other sports etc but nothing compares to boxing, boxing is more than just a sport its a way of life.
The top boxers wake up boxing and go to sleep boxing.
All my real fellow boxers here know that whenever you'll idle you shadow box out the blue like a natural instinct kicks in, boxing is a way of life.
I can confirm that.
I also just do shadow boxing out od nowhere or throw a couple punches when my hands are free.
It would be interesting to see a counter of hours spent for these fighters. Would probably bee up in 30000-50000 hour range
My mind was not even on the possibility of the OP reaching super-stardom. Not to sound like a dream killer or anything, but it's like the lottery; the chances of it happening are nearly the same whether you participate or not.
I know the odds are super hard to beat but luckily I started Boxing at the age of 14 and played soccer several years before that as well as lifting since ~13. I definitely got talent but I am a realist.
I'll keep gaining experience until I am maybe 25ish before I even consider going pro if everything goes well.
And indeed I got a Plan B. I'm a good student luckily.
