Ah,but the it,you mention is how they take to training
Training is training instincts,fighting is relying on them,some guys just revert to a base slappy hands state no matter what you tell them
Lou Savarese is a prime example,I refuse to believe in his entire career nobody said to him,"Lou,ya gotta drive with your hips,and put your body in to the shots"
But sure as the sun rises,hed be out there again throwing those slappy punches again when the bell rang
Some guys will come to you slapping away,and you can train it out of them
