Glastonbury, eh? Good times! Are you playing there? I played there in 92, 94 and 95 and had a blast. I wouldn't like to be there if I wasn't performing, though. I like to get washed and stuff!

I'm not sure what it is you're wanting to upload but maybe I can help somehow. Gimme a shout, if so.

I'm not too sure about Calzaghe, I wouldn't say his style is particularly rhythmic or jazz like, but Ali's fight with Williams fits nicely with rhythm and blues. A documentary that I recorded on BBC ( I think it was called 'Fine Cut' ) played this fight to jazz music and it fitted so well.

Jersey Joe Walcott was a smooth dancer in the boxing sense too. Ray Robinson once had a tapdancing act......Evander Holyfield had a ballet coach and need I mention Floyd Mayweather on dancing with the stars.

Rhythm and music can certainly help a boxer...and in training too. It works both ways. I'm a rock drummer and skipping rope has certainly helped my double pedal work.

Boxersise classes mix shadow boxing with musical aerobic workouts...all good!

Just thoguth of another offensive/ aggressive game although limited contact Kabadi the asian game im not sure much about it but they chant whilst attacking....

Interesting topic, sterling. Having been a musician myself since the late 70's, I often think about (and have noticed) fighters who fight in rhythm, how someone who knows rhythm well may be able to time the opponent better than someone who doesn't, upset their rhythm with odd timing, and how I would do it if I was a boxer. I'd like to mix punch combinations with drum rudiments. Triple para-diddle to the face!

I love the comment about Joe's style being JAZZ. I can see why, and I'm a bit of a jazz fan too, maybe that's why Joe's style appeals to me.

I have never heard Enzo play, but I can't imagine him being that good. I'll be happy to coach him, if he would like to take lessons.

Hmm interesting sounds gd and we all know ali has great rhythm too and likes to dance so i think it can help a fighter in a way.

Traditional Thai and Burmeses kickboxing has music that fighters fight too. Not sure if it helps them keep a certain tempo or what but its there.

Do they chant or sing along aswell or is it just played
