    What's the Catch Counter from Kronk Gym?

    I heard Kellerman talk about it on the Klitschko-Fury fight. Maybe I'm spelling it wrong. Maybe it's called the catching counter?

    So, what is it?

    From my understanding, Kronk is an school gym in Detroit. James Tony used to train there, I don't know who else though.

    The "Catch Counter" could be a thousand things, but from my guess, and taking from what I saw in the Fury-Wlad fight, I think Max was talking about "catching" the jab and then shooting your own jab back. Not many power punches were thrown. I could be wrong, but I think it is this. I know James Tony did it very well and trained at Kronk. I might be "catch" the hook and shoot your own hook. But as I said, not many power punches were thrown.

      Kronk was a rec center in Detroit for the community. There were like 5 or 6 city gyms in rec centers through out Detroit. They're all gone now though, the city shut them all down when financial troubles set in for the city.

      James did train there after he left our gym, I believe that he was with Johnny Ace then way early in his pro career. James' home was Galaxy until he lost to Jones and took off..........
