Hopkins/Pavlik
Anyone see the fight tonight? 43 year old Hopkins - going against the grain of know it all commentators- kept tearing apart Pavlik the young middleweight champion of the world.
Not wing chun, but there was some wing chun madness in Hopkins' method. Fairly squared on--
both hands blazing- little foot shifts and moving forward while punching- yet denying the opponent opportunities by controlling the lines and the angles by side to side shifting when needed. What a Philadephia fighter. Whata fighter. In the past the old man's hit to Oscar de la Hoya's liver inwards to the center line was another work of art.

When you have a veteran counter puncher with very good feet and hands, it’s recommended (All good counter punchers fight that way…) that one should stay squared to heighten their counterpunching, speed advantages against someone as awkward and unbalanced such as ‘Pavlik’…
When someone is rigid and tight, in which ‘Pavlik’ is not or seems to be with other fighters, but against someone with more counterpunching and speed abilities your tourney can very well come out that way (getting schooled)….

When a man knows what he’s doing and how to do it; for all the young fellows out there be careful, or you might get knocked the f#%k out…
