I like your boxing style it is smooth, composed and skillful. Reminds me of Oba Carr, who was a favourite boxer of mines.
Well done. I am glad Glenn Johnson is training, he has a mountain of knowledge to share.
Dude good for you I'm an armchair boxer since I left the military though I never lost a hand to hand combat fight with a taliban but they did tag me good. Left me so I couldn't fight now if I needed to. I really hope u have great success in 2017. I'll get your ppv
Sorry don't like to talk about those war days really bothers me I think I just ruined my day all life is preciousQuote:

You are very effective at chopping with the right over a low left hand or lazy jab (your opponent's, obviously). Keep up the hard work and training, will pay off in the long run. Hesitate to give unsolicited advice (and can't come close to what Mr. Johnson can provide), but found my biggest issues/losses came when I focused on the name/accomplishments of the other guy, vice the things I could and needed to control like body position, defense, distance, technique...etc. Focus on the mental aspects and with the way you are fighting now you will go very far.
For what it's worth, I've deployed 6 times to combat, and understand that certain feelings/memories tend to have a significant effect on your mood/state of mind. That being said, you didn't ask to be put in those horrible positions, you were placed there. Don't assume blame for a situation you were powerless to stop, accept that in order to survive horrible situations, you were forced to see and conduct unpleasant acts. Your country and fellow citizens owe you a great debt of gratitude for your bravery and sacrifice. Be proud of your service, but feel free to criticize or disagree with those who forced you to be in those situations and make those decisions. If you ever feel overwhelmed or alone, please talk to someone and get help. Thank you for your service/sacrifice!!!Quote:

I swear im a stickler for it because when its off by even a little everything else feels like its off and not coming out right. When that happens i always have to come back to how my body is placed, where are my arms, am i angled etcQuote:

Hello friend! Glen Johnson is a legend, not much he hasn't done or seen in the sport so a great guy to learn from I'm sure!
