I think we just need some more old school, Ann Wolf-tie a heavy bag to the back of a truck- type method of training.

i'm scared of anne wolf.

I wonder how slow those guys were going in the last rounds. I mean they were probably being held up by each other. That's crazy when you think about it and really an amazing encounter.

I think we just need some more old school, Ann Wolf-tie a heavy bag to the back of a truck- type method of training. It worked for James Kirkland.

I think after Kirkland's last performance, and especially if he wins a title soon, she will be training a lot more fighters. I think she is on to something.

keep in mind that these guys had ZERO technique, and there gloves were thinner then MMA gloves are now.

Any of the fighters today could go 49 of those rounds. Much of the fight was spend standing in frong of eachother, swinging amatuerish arm punches and spent very little energy

What constituted a round in those days is different to our timed rounds today.

One round would be until a man was unable to continue or knocked down/out.

It was a brawl until you gave up. If you fell from exhaustion, they'd pick you up, dust you off....and you go again. If you fall on your face 5 seconds in... dust you off... go again.

It was completely different to todays boxing rules. Not Queensbury

Reminds me of Mr. Burns:
Oh, hogwash! Why, I once watched Gentleman Jim Corbett fight an Eskimo fellow bare-knuckled for a hundred and thirteen rounds! Back then, of course, if the fight lasted less than fifty rounds, we demanded our nickel back! hahahahhahahahahaha yeahhhhhhhhhh

[The Texican]

Who cares about the length of the round, they fought for 3 and a half hours!

[Kastrioti]

can someone explain to me how its possible all these old fighters fought so many rounds yet our atheletes today who are supposed to be physically superior can barely last 12 rounds? what am i missing?

Well, it is amazing for them to go that long, but do you think they threw half as many punches as they do now? They would clearly pace themselves.

easily half as many punches thrown, and all spazzy arm punches.
