GGG: "Only 3 Punches In Boxing; Jab, Hook, And Uppercut"
Collapse

If you want to get technical about it you're using the term "cross" wrong, a cross is a counterpunch that goes over the opponents jab / lead shoulder, what you're referring to is a straight.The pull counter itself is not just a right...
It's a defensive counter punch in the form of a cross, but the cross itself is not a variation of a jab, hook, or uppercut. Again, how often do you see Golovkin throwing crosses? It's not his style. Golovkin loads up shots with hooks. Look back to even the Ouma fight, GGG throws an arsenal of non stop hooks and overhands, but rarely any effective cross punches. It's not his style. I think too many amateur bouts made GGG robotic...
Ironically with Rigo's 500 amateur fights, Rigo is cross punching all day!!!!Comment

Who cares? More isn't always better. Wladimir Klitschko's jab alone was better than every single move, many of his opponents had. Sometimes, 1 move > multiple moves. An AK47 > stick, knife, baton and sword combined in terms of damage inflicting potential.Comment

Also, who cares about looking 'robotic'? It's about being effective whilst sticking to the rules of boxing and since the last time I checked, being 'robotic' isn't against the rules in boxing.Comment

I already detailed a cross, like the one from Wilder on Spilzka. Elites transform the basics to to more dynamic styles. For example Lara or Rigo's pot shotting crosses to Nelo's fake to the body to the "overhand-straight-right." Alvarez also does many cross punching as he his guard is always near his chest he can bend from his left to anything he wants to his right.
The pros go beyond orthodox basics. Nas had a crazy cross-straight hybrid cause he would come up diagonallyComment

You son, don't understand the concept of real ********. If there is no real risk, there is no real gamble. You're betting points and a pic you get to take down after a little while. That's penny ante sh it right there. I'm talking a real wager, something that will have an actual effect on things. The bet I want you to take is like Russian roulette, where the loser dies. (At least on this site)i don't you think u understand the true concept of betting. Maybe you hide under the covers and still play spin the bottle or truth or dare with your cousins, but If I wasn't interested in betting I wouldn't have mentioned it you numce, nor ask others for some skrilla.
Feeling salty much?
I'd respect you a little more of you were at least man enough, and honest enough to say that's a gamble you don't want to take. But instead, you'll act like these e-points carry significant weightComment

Man enough? How many times must I tell you, I want YOUR Points!! Since then didn't someone loan you points? They're rooting for you. Show me your cards boy!You son, don't understand the concept of real ********. If there is no real risk, there is no real gamble.

You're over complicating it and there's no such thing as an overhand - straight, the 2 terms contradict themselves and I don't know where you detailed it but what Wilder ko'd Spilzka with wasn't a cross. If you want to be technical anyway, because most people just accept cross as a term for a straight.I already detailed a cross, like the one from Wilder on Spilzka.

It doesn't contradict. For me overhands are like Maidana, as sloppy as his May look, or even better and classy, the way Marquez floored PAC to the canvas in Round 3. Straight right, Chino dropping Ortiz in Round 1. all boxers have a different stance and how to throw a punch, the same way you can't conveniently teach Cotto's tri-combo jabs. Crosses, straights, you can't always depend on the positioning of the boxer to be consistent with others. For example, Alvarez faking with Kirkland is not a "straight" as those required bending of the arms that look like hooks. Same with Wilder controlling the range with the left and throws a bending hook that eventually extends to look like a straight when fully exerted.You're over complicating it and there's no such thing as an overhand - straight, the 2 terms contradict themselves and I don't know where you detailed it but what Wilder ko'd Spilzka with wasn't a cross.

LMAO! Seriously I think you are on the wrong forum. Shouldn't you be posting this on Playgirl? LOL! Sounds like you've had a few too many Canelo dreams where he showed you new dimensions and universes.Last edited by Diego Rodriguez; 08-31-2017, 05:51 PM.Comment
