Speed kills.

The serratus muscle is also called the boxer's muscle. Attached from the medial side of the scapula going to the upper parts of the ribs, this muscle protracts the scapula when one throws a punch. Most effective during jabs and straight punches. Powerful punchers usually have large serratus muscles. These muscles could be seen popping across the sides of the body like steps.

the better skilled guy wouldn't need to run.

[Dorian]

Boxing isn't "running". People tend to forget the meaning of "boxing" sometimes.

That is true... You didn't see fighters like Henry Armstrong, Charles Burley, Bernard Hopkins, a in shape James Toney run...

boxing is not hit and not be hit.

boxing is hit the guy more times than he hits you and hurt the guy more than he hurts you.

there are times when you have to be defensive and pick your spots.

if you're in there with a much stronger guy or bigger guy or hits harder then you have to do that.

boxing is about adjustments. knock out the guys you can , slug with the guys who are outbox you , go for a decision on guys you can't knock out , box with the guys who punch harder.

a guy who comes into a fight automatically thinking move , pot shot and win on points no matter who he faces gets nothing from me.
