Wallace fought in 'full contact karate' style, no leg kicks, FWIW

Dude your quote game needs some tweaking

I agree that leg kicks are a disaster for a boxer but I was surprised to read that Emanuel Steward stopped a previous sparring session between the 2 because Hearns was having difficulty blocking Wallace's high kicks.

Prob the worst thing they did was ask him to keep his kicks low. If you can kick high really well, you are going to be powerful and quick lower down. He was also very elusive fighting out of that sideways half guard

Paul vunak was particularly impressive. Lee morrison the most explosive. Iain Abernathy was extremely insightful.

Dan inosanto, Geoff thompson, William chen, Benny urquidez, Mick coup, joe lewis (but not loads with him), MVP (only in a point fighting capacity), herol graham, Rick faye, Mark tucker, Mick coup, gladiator winner Phil Norman, Neil adams, Tom kong watson, mo teague, Kelly mccann, Don the Dragon wilson, Alan gibson (a real gentleman very generous with his time and knowledge), pete consterdine, as mentioned Bill wallace, Dr. yang jwing ming.... There's loads more that I can't recall. A few decent bjj guys where I didn't really want to learn the art but get a feel for certain combative positions, escapes basically.

Good to hear Morrison is the real deal in his videos I’ve seen his ego seems huge!

Cheers for the info Steve as there’s a good few names there I’ve not even heard of, will have a check out later on
