Philly Shell Amateurs

I can do a pretty good Philly shell. My elbow reflexes are awesome.

That's when you are shadow boxing, when someone is actually throwing punched at you it's different, lol.

The main difference, is floyd is using the philly shell as it should be used.
Not just to copy a style, that kid was using pure reflexes, and a lead left.
He was trying to be flashy

you see floyd using his defence effectivly, parrying jabbing and bassicly being very complete. He isnt trying to be flashy, he's trying to win.

and this is at a very high level at the olympics. He's also using the conventional guard, and isnt just relying on reflexes. That makes it hard for the other fighter to get in some lucky shots, like in the other video. floyd is taking minimal damage.

Floyd and not being Flashy is an oxymoron.
