Just watched Dempsey Willard

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I find it helps hand/eye coordination and little bit of stamina, but not much else really. Its more of a show off thing than a real serious training tool IMO.

It's great though for a few things... Like, you're an amatuer... You've been in 4 bouts if I'm not mistaken... When they start to get taxing, you find that the more speedbag work you do helps keep your hands up when you're spent... I saw that anyway

Been lacking a bit in training POB had some rough patches in my life as you know, so i took a bit of a break from boxing. Come back not long ago had my first sparring session in awhile, and had a competitive sparring session, but the problem is i was getting caught more than i should have done, and it got rough and i got buzzed with a few shots.........

And i had some pains in the back of the head after so im gonna lay off, sparring for 2 weeks. Then im gonna comeback and start really putting in the work again, its just things in your life distract you so you can't always keep your mind totally focused on boxing, but good advice on the speed bag thanks bro.

You do what you need to do, kid! You're livin life like a real man does... Putting the things that matter first.

But seriously... You
ever even lay off for even a few weeks and you'll feel a considerable difference in your game... give it time... rust comes off in a few days(training and sparring anyway)

Remember one thing when you spar.... Seriously... Reset if you're uncomfortable... It's not a fight! I had to tell myself that weekly... "It's not a fight"

I can only say this about old school fighting.

"Fuck the neutral corner rule"

There was allways a rumour on that fight,that maybe they should have checked Dempseys gloves a little closer

I also heard Willard had 4 broken ribs,a broken jaw. Just thought I'd add.

I remember noticing the odd way Dempsey throws some of his punches in the Willard fight, at some points he holds his arm out and swings it like a club, if I remember correctly its one of the times Willard is half way up (or half way down).

We'll never know, but I hope there wasn't anything shifty involved as he Dempsey wouldn't have needed it.

Yeah it was when Willards knees just inched off the matt in the third KD... It was just thrown at a weird angle to get under his chin... Did look strange and clublike though

It used to happen all the time back then,all you had to do was slip some lead powder in to the glove,and bang instant black jack.
Theres a reason the promoter picks the gloves,and theyre checked before the fighter gets them

[No Contest]

They were brutal back then , oh your getting up? Oh no you arent , bam. I alway wince when I see the guys get up early who should have taken a few more seconds...lol they are usually back on the ground shortly after getting up. I saw one fight where a guy was knocked out , but saved by the bell, and the corner dragged his ass to the corner to try and revive him...crazy fuckers back then.

I've seen it too; someone posted it no too long ago because I remember chuckling about it. Wasn't it one of SRR's victims

I also like the Zale-Graziano ribber match. Damn ref practically picks Rocky up after the first knockdown, then counts the full ten second time round even though it was obvious the guy was unconscious. Happy days.

"Fuck the neutral corner rule"

No kidding; that was some serious play back then. Hell, boxing today is brutal, but holy sh#t that was borderline criminal

Yeah, let me just hobber over you while your down and keep punching you as you try and get up...

I'm surprised from the footage I've seen anyone could ever win after getting knocked down for the 1st time. How you can get up and win the fight is beyond me

Old school of boxing cost him against Tunney when he did not go to a neutral corner. No wonder Tyson loved him, he was a vicious hobo.
