Thomas you've really exposed my motiuves there!

I remeber thinking "those gloves in the old dyas were constructed to protect the fist rather than the fighter. Their purpose was to elongate fights and ensure steady action over rounds, as I remeber a famous bareknuckle fighter claiming a win saying "See My head broke his hands."
So I assumed that their styles would be more focused on productive movement and defense.

I was first attracted to the 20's/30's style by Gene Tunney, the origins of his parents is a lcation not too far from myself. As good as he was I knew the smaller men at Middles and Welters would have styles similar, but more applicable to me personally.
Harry Greb is a fighter that naturally intrigues me. A fighter of his record, although infamous for questionable tactics, must have had a solid base style from which he fought.

Lik I sai I just wish I had a pictorial instruction kit to see what adaptions I could make.
