Robinson's Ideas & Techniques And Who He Got 'em From

[Mr Mitts]

Some will not be at all surprised, but I was. Chappie seems most instrumental in shaping Robby's foundation and technique, but Harry Wills was too. There is a great youtube video whose link I may not be able to post anymore. . Just in case I cannot, its full title is How Sugar Ray Robinson Trained: A Blueprint for Boxing Greatness, and it is 31 minutes long.

As I thought, I cannot post the link. I can't even right click without my elderly computer freezing up. Sorry about that, folks. I believe this one is worth looking up though. In Youtube's menu results off the search above, there should be some additional shorter videos with similar titles that dig deeper into the mechanics and kinetics of some particular techniques.

- - The Robinson Twins, Jackie and Ray were both mentored by Joe Louis when they were all in the Army.

As far as boxing styles go, I'd imagine Ray picked up a lot from Joe both in technique and mental aspects...YEAH!!!
