I cannot be alone in thinking he has somehow regressed?
I like too think any respectable trainer would start with the feet first.
Stance, basic movement, jab.
I'm not seeing any of that.
I've never seen a worse jab. Its badly telegraphed and his front foot should not be coming off the floor by 6 or so inches when he steps in with it like he is stepping over something, he just leaves it clean out there, he doesn't even bring it back.
I don't want to trash Jake as much as he makes me cringe I think he's a good kid.
Tough, naturally strong with some pop.
I know people will say he's only been training at an advanced age for 3-4 yrs but I am simply not seeing the basics or anything that resembles them.
I am under the impression that BJ Flores isn't actually teaching him a damn thing and is just there for the money and the ride. He is surrounding by cheerleaders and needs an actual, proper boxing trainer. I know this gets thrown around a lot but in this instance its absolutely the case. I mean this guy was a respectable enough pro, a commentator and still asking his dad/trainer how to cut a ring off, baffling really.
I could go on all day about his flaws and point out how he is looking at the floor while throwing and such.
Thank heavens Tommy won who frankly isn't much good either because I fear for how the whole circus show would have ended had he lured Froch out of retirement or dare I say actually got a Canelo fight. We was way too close to the biggest blackeye the sports ever seen. Just a scary thought.
I'd like to see Jake just have some fun and fight KSI and other influencers, back to fighting past it MMA fighters, maybe a Vitor Belfort next and just never speak Froches name ever again.
