Boxingscene; Lenny our members formed a forum thread asking the best way to build hand speed in the gym. Could you help us out with that a bit today.
DeJesus: It’s not a matter of hands speed it’s a matter of knowing when to shoot that jab. The Jab I call the “Mugging shot” you mug the guy to set up all the other punches. A lot of guys don’t do that in today’s fighting game. Today they want to be pretty they want to look nice and they don’t want to get hit. Duran used to put you to sleep with his lazy jab but he was setting you up for a body shot. [details]
