best left hook in history?

[billeau2]

Not for me. I just watch and go "Okay he just passed the guard" or "now he's in full guard", "he's moved to half guard", which some wrestlers prefer to be in and then I kind of notice when a fighter has his opponent set up for a submission to get it hooked in. I guess I just don't get as technical as you do lol. I like finding out about new holds too, like an Ezekiel Choke, which one fighter has a record of winning the most MMA fights with or a Peruvian Necktie, which looks tough to escape, since so few fighters use it and it can be quickly applied.

But the very small subtle things you mention I just think I don't know how he sees that. I usually just look more for if one fighter has the other hurt or is establishing dominance, who has momentum, stuff like that. That's why I like learning this type of stuff here in the history section. It probably comes from me being on the autism spectrum and too much information coming at me at once causing what's known as "sensory overload."

In principle when two human beings get ready to fight if they are boxing, and doing so today, in this day and age, they remain as two separate bodies throughout while exchanging blows. All their movements can be looked at like two separate spheres...

In principle when grappling, the ground is always one point of contact, much like with electricity, where you always have a ground to take energy if need be (electrons). The minute a grappler establishes contact with another grappler, and two points are established, you can start to control the actions of the opponent, so you have essentially a game of establishing control. The third point of contact is often the grips that people come to (remember the ground), or the action of the technique. But in grappling you are always looking at one big sphere with two parts trying to take control.

The holds are often done after a degree of control has been established. That is the genius of sports Ju Jitsu, it looks like an incredible chess game with so many variables to a normal person... when in fact it is a game where a certain amount of positions are sought... With Brazilian Jitz those are the guard and the mount. Roussey was a great example of this thinking via Judo: in a fight initially when she was winning, she had one task: Put her opponent in position for an arm bar. A technique she perfected through years of practice.

I have Dyslexia lol. Autism disproportionately affects intelligent people, so does wanting to learn things, curiosity. I feel the same way. There are some very smart posters here I learn from, its naturally what smart people do... learn for its own sake. People who are more inclined towards average intelligence learn so they can get a better job, make more money!

The Nonpareil is wonderful so very 19th century - you think the drink is that old?

I know the drink is old...Its not one of those ****tails, where so many started in hotels in either New Orleans, New York, or San Francisco... which are usually like 1800's. I would imagine the boiler maker is older...

Here is the Wiki take:

Thanks man. Hey kickass avatar. Where did you find it?

Haha Thanks man. I found it awhile ago. It might be from an anime cartoon. I can't remember where I found it. I remember looking for the anime but couldn't find it, so I'm not sure. It kind of reminds me of that Chinese mythological character, the Monkey King.

Got a good winning amateur record and sparred regularly with title holders and two world champions. Maybe it’s you that DKSAB?

The things people makeup for the sake of perpetuating a lie The only people you've ever punched are your mother and ex-wife.

apologies, I was not clear. I was trying to say that even when someone pivots while throwing a hook, it need not be a check hook. In other words, someone can offensively pivot in a direction while throwing a hook as Cooney did with his. A check hook depends on the action of pivoting, it is far as I can tell employed exclusively as a type of counter. Mayweather's check hook was a classic example of the technique... he started more, or less, in front of Hatton and after delivering the shot was to the side of Hatton (dyslexia, cannot say which side lol).

I realized that when I reread your post for like the tenth time. I understand what you meant, and you are correct. We were stating the same thing in different words. When two people communicate that have taken thousands of punches to the head, this will happen. lol

I always tell people: I post for the joy of it, and it helps keep me writing...but in so doing, I post fast and do not edit for clarity. I do this because I don't enjoy editing lol, but it makes it so sometimes Im not as clear as I could be.
