unorthdox styles?

[Oriachim]

Naseem hamed didn't fight that way during the AMs... People only fight that way for one reason, and its excitement. It looks exciting in the ring.

check this guy out for unorthodox, entertaining, but annoying haha

His style worked for him? Because he was over in Europe fighting underclassed fighters? That is why he got ****y and started fighting like that.

He fell because he started fighting quality fighers. Take a look at his first appearance in the US against Kevin Kelley.

[KostyaTszyu44]

yes but he beat kelley didnt he?

barerra schooled him, he showed that patiently outboxing hamed was the key, not coming straight at him.

also this is off topic, i wanna know if anyone here gets coached to fight like hamed or something like that

[Domey]

He may of won, yes. Kelley was old and should of retired long before then. However, how many times in 4 rounds did Hamed get floored?

Constantly being off balance is no way to fight. Wether the punch that lands and puts your down hurts or not is irrelavent. It hurts you on the scorecards. When you are off balance, a jab could put you down.

Uhh hamed lost to barerra possbily because he only had a 2 week training camp and barerra spent 14 weeks in the mountains quietly training maybe? Hamed when he was with ingle, had cat like reflexes, almost impossible to even catch hamed. Think robinson landed like 10 outta 400 punches on hamed within 8 rounds.....

Hamed's unorthodox style was exciting because he had power! If we took the power out of the equation he would just be another clown in the ring. Look at guys like Nadeem Siddique and Ali Shah...they try to fight JUST like Hamed except they have absolutely no power...they look and fight like idiots. Giovanni Segura fights very unorthodox but he is exciting because he has good power. Billy Dib --> no power, unorthodox style --> very boring.

YOU ARE A LIAR!!!!

are you seriousley trying to suggest hamed only had 14 days preparation for
barerra?

hamed only ever fought weak opponents!! he dodged norwood and juan manuel marquez!!

BARERRA IS THE ONLY GOOD OPPONENT HAMED EVER FACED AND HE GOT EXPOSED!!!!!


why did you bring up robinson?????? he was a journeyman with 9 losses
who for some reason was alowed to fight for a "title" against an opponent whose record was 15-3!! LOL!!! nas won his title from a glorified journeyman!
what more proof do you need that hamed was a paper champ!!!

Those unorthodox styles you talk about are unsuccessful for large majority of fighters. They only seem to work for naturally gifted athletes with rediculous reflexes. I've seen people stroll into the gym and try to dance like Ali or try to be like Prince Naseem and it always ends with the same result: a sound beating!

Both fighters were very exciting to watch, but were technically flawed. They were able to get away with it because they both had rediculous reflexes.

I think you'll find a coach anywhere who'll teach you an unorthodox style.

You will always get newbies at the gym trying to fight like Roy Jones. It is awesome. They get their asses kicked and then quit.
