The key to Boxing

[Aperion]

Dont be cheeky Sonny, I went through the 60s and fried a few circuits so sometimes have a lapse in memory I wonīt complain though because that is a great photo of Ali throwing a straight right hand. Now thats something you donīt hear much on this forum. A straight right. Most are talking about right hooks or 5 punch combos but they dont know how to throw a straight left or right.

And that leads me to my point, Learn the basic straight punches and footwork and then get in the goddam ring! hell just do rounds throwing straight punches and nothing else,
GET YOUR STRAIGHT PUNCHES RIGHT
YOUR DEFENSE TIGHT
AND YOUR MOVEMENT RIGHT
from there you can learn hooks, uppercuts, 5 punch combos. Forget about fancy gear, any pair of goddam gloves will do, a headguard, a mouth guard, a gonads protector, a skipping rope and a heavy bag, a coach and good sparring partners and then spar like hell as much as you can. You do enough sparring, running, situps and heavy bag work and you wont need to do anything else, forget all those fancy routines you dont need em. Eat/drink meat, fish, chicken, whole eggs, vegetables, especially green veg, whole milk, fruit, anything wholewheat or whole grain, oats and bucket loads of water and you will be set.

Too many ******* who cant see past the basics. Sure for elite champions try new routines and the latest training techniques, but all you beginner amateur fairy floss tossers who only care about comfortable gloves and nike jordan boxing shoes (what the ****ens has Jordan got to do with boxing anyway??) fancy calisthenic routines and vo2 max poofter drinks this is for you - get real and pull that tampon out of your panties!

Truer words have never been written on this forum. You have inspired me, you old curmudgeon.

Just got back on this forum lost my marbles for a bit and got locked up in the old fogies and could tell my dinger from a donkey let alone use a typewriter and have read some absolute buggerizing bollocks about boxing training. I got one of my great grandkiddies to help me repost this because it needs to be said.
