    The first question that will come out of those student's mouths at Roy's academy will be if they can meet Stacey Louise Reile. Ha! Ha!

          I hope this is a successful venture for him. It's good to see great fighters passing on what they know.

So I'm sure he can teach anyone, not just kids, a thing or two about boxing and everything else that has to do with boxing.
              Maybe, but I tend to agree with the other guy who said Roy's style was successful because and only because of Roy's superior athletic ability. That style is a recipe for a short and painful career for any but the most elite athletes. Roy's hard fall as he got older was predictable. He was never going to be successful against elite competition once he began to slow down. I'd much rather send my kid to the BHop Boxing Academy.

                  Nacho Man Jones had spider man reflexes a blessing cannot be taught. He had horrible fundamentals. Relied on legs and reflexes for defense. When he lost a step he was exposed didn't have a defense everyone who tapped that chin knocked him out. Greene, Lebedev, Johnson in his prime couldn't sniff him

                    I agree entirely, as I thought my post indicated. That's why I wouldn't send my kid to the RJJr Academy (if I was actually looking to send my kid to fight school).

                      Damn 15,000 square feet. Sounds like a great facility.
