i couldnt really register the part where joe louis says to hit bag when its swinging away. i always hit the bag right when it swings back at me. Which is what the million dollar baby guy says will smother your punches.

If im throwing a hook in the same direction the bags swinging, wont i be throwing past my center line and be off balance, since my hook is chasing the bag, instead of meeting it in a collision?

im pretty sure i misunderstood


on another note, what i thought was interesting, was the exercise that Floyd mentions about weaving and crouching low underneath the bag and using head movement to avoid the oncoming swing. Thats a trademark Cus De Amato exercise right there i bet you. Cause ive seen Tyson do the exact thing in some fights.
