monitoring opponents rear hand (As a Southpaw)

[Andre]

Ill try and find one on him for you. He only started doing it in his pro career when he was searching for power finishes, he was a totally different; A counter puncher in his amateur days and exceptional at it. He turned hunter as a pro.

Its just a thought I had, cause he was a natural at dealing with southies.But he used to measure them with his left arm out like a feeler and would gauge distance etc and then throw a right bomb. I was just thinking aloud that to shift his feeler arm would of made him move instead of him making you move, if you get my drift.

Watch this from the 5:00 minute mark on. Good fight to watch in any case.

He uses his lead like a feeler a few times.

Yeah see how he leaves that left arm out there a few times tapping and feeling with it gauging distance, he even uses it to just to get in the way and forces Judah to shoot around it then times Judah off the move.

I just thought if Judah went at the arm first cause its out there and moved right it may have changed Koystas rhythm/thought process and maybe the fight.

I was watching this one:

I like how he takes that inside position with his left foot and fires that stiff jab and straight right hand at Mitchell

Yeah wow, I forgot just how solid on his feet he was too, a real hunter of the opponents center line. loved his way of getting to the inside game, the whole time hes so methodical feeling out, measure distance all for the big right hand you just know is lurking. Menace of a fighter really, he wasnt opposed to some rough housing to get in there either.

Interesting. But what does the lead arm "feeler" have to do with avoiding the rear hand?

[Andre]

Good memories , fuck Judah should have been professional and stayed down and taken a full count then got up. He was addled big mistake getting up early like that.

Would of ended the same anyway I think.
