James Toney invented the shoulder roll

[vercingetorix3]

He also invented being fat..

I believe that honour should be shared with Chris Arreola.

Jack Dempsey, The Manassa Mauler

Dempsey called “the bob”, “a kind of artistic duck.” And he described “the weave” as “a series of slight imaginary slips. As you shuffle toward your opponent, you roll your left shoulder slightly; then your right’ then your left and so on…the genuine bob and weaver-and I was one of those-uses it fully. A deep bob and a side sway. I used to slip in under an opponents attack. Once in close I threw my left hook. I had a good one. I’d continue with a barrage of rights, hooks and uppercuts.”

Bob and weave =/= Shoulder roll

[cuzfozzy]

Bob and weave =/= Shoulder roll

its different ... watch how toney does it. its poetry in motion

[THE REED]

No............. he didn't.


That is all...

[BigHeat]

ROTFLMMFAO!!!!
Most fighter that are old school or have old school trainers use it.
BH uses it..........Toney is proficent
But I must say that PBF has altered it to compliment his attributes perfectly.............he not only rolls punches off his shoulders...........he effectively tucks his chin behind his rolling shoulder
