Did you guys happen to see the Jones fight this weekend? Well it was an awesome display of talent by Roy, and his incredible reflexes and speed. I noticed some things Roy did that similarities to Kung Fu and wanted to see what anyone thought about it.
1. Roy kept his hands up almost in a san ti type position, although he leans over when he does it. Notice his hands which are already very fast, are that much closer when he suddenly throws it.
2. He was constantly at the proper distance from his opponent, so the opponent must take one step to get into striking range. Roy could see everything coming.
3. He is set so he can move his entire body as soon as he needs to move it.
4. Most incredible thing: He always contacted his punch slightly up or rising to uproot his opponent, or slightly down. He almost never landed a completely level punch. I noticed several times his opponent's entire body was thown up and across after taking a non-devestating yet rising blow. In other words, on a level type punch, the punch would rise as it contacted the opponent. Excellent application of technique.
I thought this was very applicible to the internals, as he was able to always do something with his punches to affect his opponents balance and center.
