Why didn't Shannon keep his hands up?

[Gorilla Dogs]

The first thing they tell you in boxing classes is keep yo damn hands up so you wont get hit....what does he do? Played Roy Jones with his hands down and kept eatin Vitali's punches...




Is G Dog the only one confused about this? Could of saved him ALOT of punishment

[NChristo]

Because it's his style, he always keeps them at the height he did in the Vitali fight plus he's old and shot so he's going to get tired / exhausted faster which will cause a lot of wear and tear on his arms thus he's not going to be able to keep them up for the whole fight.

[PEBBLES!]

^^^^NChristo has it right.


Even if he decided to keep his hands up, I don't see how Vitali won't be able to land clean either.

[Hi-Dro]

he has asthma. He has **** stamina. I remember seeing one of his fights and he didnt do **** the whole night. the other guy didnt do anything either because he was afraid of getting hit. then near the end of the fight shannon threw a combo and dropped the guy. He waited the whole damn fight to let his hands go. After that I don't know how any1 could watch his fights let alone let him inside of a boxing ring.

[MindBat]

The amateurish way he fought by just standing there absorbing shots to the head should be cause for concern. He didn't even try to move away and use the ring to create distance. He just showed up to get hit and collect a check.

SO instead of keepin his hands up and lettin his arms and gloves absorb the punishment, YOU think it was a better idea to let his FACE absord the punches FLUSH? Instead of blockin em with a tight guard?


hmm...

[Gorilla Dogs]

If any other fighter used Brigg's gameplan of obsorbing punishment with his face and not even TRYING to stop ANYTHING their trainer would grab them and slap the shyt out of them and tell em to use a GUARD!


How hard is it to keep your hands up to absord some of the punches? G Doggy Dog would rather let his hands and arms hurt from gettin hit rather than the FACE

[MARKBNLV]

I think he was trying to defend his body,he knew he could absorbs Vitalis head shots.

So he protected his body so he could get a concussion and fractures in his face?
