    Another thing regarding the jab you don't see much is changing up the speed to avoid getting timed. Being Canadian I am forced by law to watch hockey. I remember reading an article by an opponent of Wayne Gretzky saying that he would seem to be skating at a certain pace and as soon as you think you have him timed for a check or whatever he suddenly shifts gears one way or another before you even get there.

    Floyd times the jab with a fast right hand over the top perfectly.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    A lot of athletes in other sports do that and for sure it is a good technique. Wrestlers in particular.
    There's a guy in the UFC who's a Cuban Olympic wrestler and freak athlete. Incredible explosiveness. He changes speed so much and will lull guys in and once they think he's a certain speed, he explodes and catches guys with haymakers.

    Circling out. Positioning used to be import for offense and defense. Everyone wants to stand flatfooted in front of someone now and swing away, only moving at the waist for defense.

    Parrying - so many fighters now lead with their face, or go into a shell. Parrying use to be a great way to offset your opponents offense and have him out of position to defend the counter.

    The uppercut is slowly slipping out of use too by many fighters because they feel it exposes them and they dont get a lot of power on it because many fighters square up now and dont have their feet set right to step into it or turn at the waist to get full power on it. Its become an arm punch for a lot of pitty pat fighters.

    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Damn, good thread good responses. I remember an interview with Foreman when he said he credited his resurgence with his jab. He said he had deep regret about ignoring the jab during his early years. At the time he said he felt the jab was beginning a lost art. I think combinations have also taken a back seat theses days. It seems a lot of fighters are content hitting and quitting. Floyd's jab is phenomenal and Mannys combos are amazing and light years ahead of the competition. I do notice a bit of a resurgence on these things on the Shobox up and comers. Perhaps we are heading towards a renaissance. As far as the HW decision goes, it really seems to be full of holes with a lot of fighters. Probably why people have lost interest in it

    Body shots, left hook to the body like Chavez and Hatton use to do.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Guy was incredible. Like trying to body check a piece of rope.


    Great suggestions in this thread.

    Feinting is a lost art. Mike McCallum was something else.
