How do you know so much about boxing

[Showtime..]

Been watching the sport since I was in middle school, started boxing in '06, been boxing ever since and my interest grew substantially when I started learning the art and getting in the ring, so since then I also have done extensive research which involves talking to people in the sport, reading articles and books, and studying fights and training sessions of pros and peers alike. I trained and was largely taught by Oscar Rivadeneyra, I would go out on my shield for him any day of the week.

What do I do now? Software Engineering. I never had that Pac-like situation where boxing was my only answer and as an AM it's all expense, thankfully I have a career that pays my bills, but my passion for the sport will always be the same.

Why'd you stop?

If you read the posts in slow motion, there is so much insight

I always type my posts slowly in NSB, because I know people don't read very well.

You just wayyyyyy over analyzed a simple situation. Obviously the example is Canelo trying to execute against one of the best to ever do it, and getting in his body shot .

But the rest of the philosophical stuff is just confusing.

Suffice to say boxing consists of a bag of tricks both similar and different that are pieced together to make the sweet science.

Also punches are generally numbered. It varies from trainer to trainer, they would never say give me a right uppercut, it would be give me a 5 or a 6 or a 8 or whatever that decided to number the punch.

There are lots of little tricks to be learned, some can be learned by studying fighters, lots have to be used in the gym. Lots have to be taught to you by your train and involve a lot of pain to master and become proficient at.

Rigondeaux and Lomchenko are both beautifully schooled, and put on masturful performances full of subtleties and tricks and ring art. If you want to learn about boxing, study their fights in detail.

There is a breakdown of Lomachenko onyoutube that isn't half bad at showing a small portion of the subtle things he does and tricks he uses in the ring.

Yes... they describe the punch then they number it. In my gyms it's 1 2 3 4 5 6... ect..And.. that Floyd punch would be the number "2" btw, not 6. Lol.

I didn't over analyze. I systematically broke down the footage, and explained some intermediate martial thought in the process. I explained very real concepts that help you to understand the flow of a fight better. I thought you could appreciate some of the things I have picked up. My mistake for wasting my time.

This is sound advice
