    The creator of stick and move Boxing



    This is a tribute to a forgotten boxer who actually invented the style many people thought was made by Muhammad Ali. Gene Tunney is an Irish New Yorker who went on to be one of only two undisputed boxers who retired with the heavyweight title. His style was to carry his hands low, study his opponent, dominate with the jab and use quick footwork to get out of the way. Tunney also use to talk to his opponent's in the ring.

            stick and move: self preservation

            the first fighter concerned about self preservation was jack johnson.

                Boxing is pretty old, I would think that anything invented technique wise in regards to the sweet science can be traced to some Egyptian or Greek who lived a few thousand years ago.

                  Johnson would also taunt and talk to his opponents long before Tunney.
