    he explained in an interview that wherever he put his head is where he knew you'd put your jab. so since he already knew where your jab would go, since he was the one who put it there, all he had to do was move his head some place else. no trainer in the world will teach you that move. but when you think about it, its so simple, you'd do the same move if somebody threw something at your head without even thinking about it. thats why trainers dont want you to do it. because in the end if boxing is mostly just instincts, what do you need a trainer for?


    Meldrick taylor used to do that too and followed it with a counter-jab. A nice move.

    yeah thats right. and lots of other guys.













    theres lots of fancy things you can do to take a guys jab away. none easier or simpler than just craning your neck off to the side.

    you'll recognize thats how floyd throws his pull counter. he has a special way of doing it. he'll lean in at you. that lets him shorten up your jab and place it exactly where he wants it to be.

    thats what makes a guy slick. if you can use your head to place a guys punches to go where you want them to go, youre slick.

    I'll take Mike Tyson's style any day of the week. Make the most of it while you're young and retire undefeated.

    Loma, of course. Either that or I'd be a figure skater or ballet dancer.
