I try to model myself after Mickey Ward. A simplistic approach. My footwork is fine but I don't float like a butterfly and my handspeed is not like Mayweather's. But I do hit pretty hard so I like to try to get inside and slug it out.
Another reason I can relate to Ward is because he taught me my left hook. My trainers tried to engrain proper form into me but I never really understood the whole turn-it-over thing until watching old Ward footage. Then it made sense. Push off the left, palm in, turn it over in motion, weight on the right. It's my best shot.
