Re: hooks

To add to the whip... The whip works because when a muscle is suddenly lengthened, it develops potential energy which, if immediately followed by a contraction, multiplies the force of that contraction. Just like when you jump, if you dip quickly to elicit a sudden stretch in the thighs, it multipli...

Re: Heavyweights Drying Out

From a practical point of view, it would be absolutely pointless for a heavyweight to dry out.

It's probably one of those dogma things where, because fighters in all the other divisions almost always had to dry out, so it was just assumed that drying out was the thing to do before fights.

Re: Might we all be missing the point?

No... NBC will be used as a showcase. There's no way he can make money there. Heck, he even paid NBC millions to secure those 20 dates from Kathy Duva. And Duva says Haymon isn't doing PPVs either. So it's got to be a new broadcast outlet funding him. Maybe one of the many new internet TV networks t...

Where is Al Haymon's money coming from?

Haymon is a very shrewd character. He has found a position to enable him to act as a manager and promoter by being outside of the commission's rulebook as an "advisor". He takes a little tiny cut, or maybe none at all. So where does he make his money? He makes it by being the facilitator o...

Re: Something smells fishy about Stiverne vs Wilder

People forget so quick. We just had Seth Mitchell. Before that was Michael Grant. And before that, Wlad suffered the same story. This will be a repeat of when then clueless Wlad went up against Brewster. Except Wilder won't ever regroup from this devastation.

Re: What is that guard?

Philly Shell or Cross Arm.

Its great for hard punching, offensive fighters and left hookers. You can stay in punching position as you advance while picking off head shots with the right hand only.

The downside is that when you meet a combination puncher that mixes to the body well, it's weak.

Re: Weight Lifting

If you're just beginning, or just getting back in after a long time out, you wanna respect something called the ladder of progression. It's the concept that the body stops adapting to a certain level of stimulus after a while and stops improving and that some of the ways you can change the stimulus ...

Re: Working Out When You're Over 40

The older you get, the longer it takes to recover. With that in mind, we need to increase the intensities of the workouts and get longer rest. That means working out smarter and putting exercise routines together that are more efficient. Simple things like mixing anaerobic and aerobic workouts into ...

Re: Garlic

If you add ginger to the garlic, you create a recipe that releases powerful forces in the body. Especially boosting the immune system, which also has to do with recovery from workouts.

Re: Jose Resto 'The Latin Anvil'

I remember watching Resto in New York. The guy had no neck, so you couldn't get a clean shot on him. And he was always in shape. Problem was he was a bit slow and couldn't punch. Plus he round housed a lot. But, he made all his opponents work for the win.

Re: who are the first 4 fights in this youtube video

First one looks like Don Lee, but not sure.

Second one looks like Kid Akeem, but they look too big to be Flyweights. Not really sure.

Fourth one has to be Vito Antuofermo against Willie Classen. I remember the post fight brawl.
