      Down syndrome would be tough to live with. Or do you just not watch boxing, like AT ALL?

You still can get power to your jab with hand extended just throw the shoulder and turn fist with a whipping effect. Just imagine a whip when you throw that jab. Thats what my trainer told me when I throw my jab or right hand imagine a whip you turn it over than bring your hand right back . He was an Old school trainer from the 50's

                First of all, there is no such thing as a Eurostyle.

                England, Ireland, Germany, Russia, Spain all have different styles. Having a lead hand extended doesn't give you a style either.

                Many styles have a lead hand extended, Zombie style to start. Jones, Byrd, and may other Olympians used it.

                This video is garbage and the fighter is ignorant. -1

                  LMAOOOO!!

                  Did you post that with a straight face?....if not, that's hard proof of your incredibly biased and bad judgement.

                  Those are maybe some of the best B LEVEL fighters in the past 30 years....

                    Counteract that with Hopkins, Jones, May, Winky and nowadays the likes of Thurman, Porter, at times TC, DA et al who hardly go after opponents. Cmon man, dont be ******.
                    I agree the guys you listed are great--I just don't think most Brits fight like Froch at all, for example, or eubank, or hamed. Those guys are all extremely unique. I;m not saying the brit style is bad, either. Luke campbell is a current fighter who fight VERY brit, but does it extremely well.

                      Froch is a B level fighter? How dare you!

                      Hamed didn't really fulfill his potential so in terms of career I'll give you that, but his fighting was A+++. One in a million fighter we'll never see the likes of again.
