Good win to GGG

Its an excellent breakdown of the fight, but what got my interest is GGG's use of the bridge which he does a lot

Thoughts?

-----------------------------------

Is that Golovkin? He is well coached and trained. Yup- controlled bridging a lot. Center well protected.
Feet balanced. Good cutting off and angles and lines.

Yep, that's golovkin joy, brilliant fighter.

I put this clip up to show that you can use the bridge which more than a few on here don't believe

What he was doing is unlike what some people think they can do with Wing Chun.

True, but there's people on here that say you can't use the bridge.
I'd suggest golovkin proves otherwise

[Kellen Bassette]

I think that clip is a very good example of applying bridge. Really shows how it is used against real resistance.
I also think if you watch UFC's Jon Jones, he does a lot of forearm/hand control that looks a lot like bridging to me.

Found this yesterday...Samuel Kwok apparently training a bare knuckle boxer who came over to the UK to "take the crown"....didn't seem to work for him as he got knocked out. Appearances at 4:20 ... and then for the canvas dive at the end 22:50

interesting documentary. James McCRory used that old strategy of letting your opponent use up his best energy resources battering your body/head blocking, then come back on them with everything you've got in store. That's the same momentum rush that WingChun coached boxers are trying in other matches. Just make sue you have a fresh boxer to stand in for you if it doesn't pan out. Trying to take out your opponent in the first round always works on paper.

What was he talking about? He was as unskilled as the rest of them. His opponent showed up half drunk and asleep and still knocked him out.

Not sure what this has to do with bridging though. Should have started a new thread.

Lesson Plan: Bridging can get you knocked the fvck out by a drunken boxer.

Fist bridges to face. Face bridges to floor.

Is it controversial of me to say that one now has an insight into where Mr Kwok gets his Pepsi from?

You sayin he likes a patsy cline??

So I believe. You would be surprised at how rife such things are amongst certain wing chun lineages.
