People who DKSAB call it running, if you have never boxed you'll never understand it

pot-shotting

What?

"pot-shotting" is landing punches dude. Why is that not boxing? I understand that some fans just view boxing as entertainment and certain tricks and maneuvers aren't entertaining to the eye but now we're penalizing dudes for landing punches?

Lmao, stop talking **** Pugilist.

How would you know most posters haven't stepped into the ring? **** tard, back in my days I've probably done more sparring sessions than you.

If you claim to call yourself a boxing genius, post some vids of your sparring/amateur fights

You are probably just like another Dan Rafael behind the screen, a fat slob who eats **** tonnes of fatty food and writes about boxing

I know right? Why won't he just stand there swinging for the fences while getting punched in the face?

If what you say is true, respect. I respect most everyone, no matter their background. But as a fighter, I'm surprised you don't differentiate strategic positioning, maneuvering & striking from blatant running, grabbing, holding & pot-shotting in boxing. Or rather that you approve of the latter.

i know the difference...some dont. I dont gain anything lieing about my background...check out the new thread I posted. Im revealing identity. Just found out ym buddy is having a daugher, he and his wife kathy. They own a shotokan karate dojo and I teach there class when I visit town on aspects of boxing.

Putting Maidana in headlocks and otherwise seeking to grab & hold whenever he got close is not what I consider adapting. This is boxing.

Every pro fight you watch, regardless of network, language of broadcast, or level of fight, the ex fighter doing the color commentary advises fighters in trouble to hold to either slow the momentum or protect themselves. They do this despite knowing holding is illegal.

I guess you could hold fighters to the letter of the law. I just think its like doing 65 on NJ highways-yeah the sign says 55 but since the cops set their radar at 66, its dfeacto ok to go 55-65.

I'm talking about the little bitch arm-punches thrown while running around. They are more to show the judges: "Look, I'm not running, I'm throwing punches too!" Truth is, fucker's so busy running, he can't even set his feet to deliver a meaningful shot.

also....my trainer was merhav mohar...he is back in israel...he was my 3rd trainer but I worked with him the longest

He is only 2 years older than me but had to retire back in the 2000s at age 23....he suffered a cerebral hematoma or injury where the wrong hit could be fatal

He actually has footahe on youtube...he fought at welterweight but he was really too small for the divison IMO....He was also an isreali kickboxing champion


seeing a guy so young not be able to follow his dream really made me realize the mortality of my self and these fighters....I used to be a bloodthirsty fan until i started taking those hits to the face and gut


had a documentary out on him years ago....it was a shame too. He was very talented and we chat on FB time to time...we went years without talking...didnt know he was back in israel...he even tried to get me a job as an assistant trainer but the gym wouldnt...i had to move back to columbus, wasnt in college, lost my job, noo where to go...he really believed in me

proof is in the pudding...im a student of the game..check out my new thread i posted supporting my buddies dojo

Im no world beater but I love martial arts and boxing...learning and teaching those willing

im no boxing genius...my trainer was a pro and he was more tactics than rock em sock em...I boxed in the mid 2000s before youtube....merhav has all that footage but you can watch me getting taught by my buddies defending kicks and teaching their student the importance of footwork and defense if you go to tony chapman csk on face book...my name is sada lewis on there

Ah, so according to you, Maidana had Floyd in trouble. You're just saying headlocks are ok because it's Floyd & Bayless never penalizes for that crap. He'd have caught hell for it with Mills Lane.

Hey. If you don't enjoy it you don't have to watch it.
