Some of that reminded me a lot of George Foreman, he threw a lot of those less than classic hooks with both hands, almost like arm punches.
Have you noticed that some of the Russians get their body into their punches as well as anyone? Big guys getting every ounce into that punch!
I didn't read the articles, so I might be sounding like an idiot.
