The fight will be very soon, and I was asked by the future management not too show more video clips, it’s within the kids best interests…

This thread's an interesting read.
When I first found that Roger Mayweather training tape in like 03~04; it was definitely a gold mine for building solid defense into pad work.
Suntzu and I spent a lot of time modifying it for use with Thai pads & kickboxing techniques.
We came up in Baltimore, with a lot of interaction with DC and Philly boxers; so the Michigan style was a bit of a breath of fresh air.
Since I moved back to Texas, I've been trying to pick up the Texas Slide - made famous by Jack Johnson, somewhat imitated by early Foreman.
It's emphasis is on parrying, which I think works a lot better for kickboxing (sanshou, muay thai, etc) than a style more reliant on head movement, like say a Tyson peekaboo or Dempsey roll.
Hard to find trainers who know the old Texas parrying style though, so have had to rely heavily on fight footage and outside sources like chinese arts, old-school bare knuckle resources, and muay thai (which was influenced early on by an older style of boxing than is currently taught in gyms today).
EDIT:Compound that with the fact that I'm a southpaw and it's either a daunting task or a HUGE bag of tricks to pull from to keep opponents from getting too comfortable.

-Jack Dempsey ch1 pg1 Championship FightingWhat would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

Here is ‘The Fury’ doing the “roll out” (mandatory beat down) to one of his fellow club members, you must get rolled out on the floor for six months before one could even see the ring…
They both started around the same time and Skylar out weighs him by 35lb. and is 1in taller then the ‘Fury’, and two years older soon to be 19…
The ‘Fury’ can make you miss a lot, and have well above average defensive skills for someone his age (he just turned 17, and I started with him @ age 14) and is very good with the shoulder catch, footwork and his balance and he’s highly accurate with his punches too…
I’m very pound of this kid I’ve tried to make him quit over and over again, but he just stayed in the pocket and fought back, My Man!!!…

"From a psychological point of view, demons represent the universal equivalents of the dark, cruel, animal depths of the mind. When we as martial artists are preparing ourselves to overcome our fear of domination at the hands of an opponent, we must go deep within our inner being and allow the darkest parts of ourselves to be revealed. In order to battle the monsters in an abyss, we must sometimes unleash the demon within" http://darkwingchun.wordpress.com/
I’m truly a fan of the bbc comedy and always have been, some of the worlds best comedian are from that area.
It’s always a big deal when he does this to another tough kid, and most of the kids that he fights with are trouble youth and ex-bullies in and out of jail as you can see by simply looking and the other kids left ankle…
Boy, all of the smaller kids love him, he proved himself against people twice his age and size many times, he may be small put have the heart of a 250lb man…

I told you guys he would get out classed early in his career, and it was by a journeyman...
This is what I said, on the sixth post of this thread...
“He’s all right; he’s kinda one dimensional like Ricky Hatton, but hey as you can see that’s how he’s taught to fight… Hey, fighting like that, your bond to get out classed, but I hope he wins a lot before that happens or get a new trainer"…
Gold Medal or not, he needs a new trainer… ‘Hatton’ got one, and his name is
Floyd Mayweather Sr.
