Balance !
It all starts with balance. Correct your balance and keep ur hands high near your chin is the best start basically. Power, speed will come with better technique and balance.
Snap your punches out, No lunging.
I have my first amatuer in a weeks time, though i spar regularly with Pro's and have been training for 12 months.
Best of luck . . . . Dont rush
Basically I think that Australians arent use to the American style Hype that Mundine brings to his fights in Australia. Therefore Americans seem to thrive on the HYPE and the fans love it in the states. Australians tend to get very upset because they have the stereotypical mentality of being the Good aussie battler, or just a good Aussie bloke who cops it on the chin and is fair dinkum about everything and cops it with no vaso.
On the other hand Mundine does have fans here though not too many I could say. And put it this way that most people that hate Mundine arent boxing fans. If your a true boxing fan you would understand what boxing hype is about right ??????
Im not making excuses for him fighting bums but just lets face it aye Australians boxers have been bashing Thai kick boxers and any decent fighter here has done what mundine is doing time and again for decades now, so i would start with Australian boxing before I'd start with Mundine to be fair ???????
Thank god Darchinyan, Katsidis came along.
Mundine does have talent and I believe he has potential, I am hoping for a big fight soon though.
When I was in Australia I never met one Aussie who liked him, and Aussies seem to support any Australian in any sport, more so than any other country I've been to. They'd watch in the hope he got badly KOd.
Not that this has anything to do with the thread really, I was just wandering, does anyone actually like this guy?
