In response to south paw herc:
ReplyDeleteReading a comment from someone like south paw herc who doesn’t understand boxing doesn’t bother me in the least. There’s a distinct difference between an amateur and a pro boxer, just as there’s a huge contrast between an amateur and a professional teacher. There’re a lot of laymen out there who observed my teachings over the years in order to learn about the sweet science. The blogger should have stuck around awhile because he’s, obviously, still learning. The sport of boxing is much more complicated than most realize. A professional trainer is proficient in detecting the boxer’s movement, balance, rotation, and weight distribution. The so called “experts” who think they know all about it, possess no experience that would lend credence to their statements. I DON’T have a problem, because I DO know almost everything about boxing. If you’re a boxing fan, don’t condemn in anonymity. Have the guts to back up your negative critique with your identity.
