Article on a Kid I used to train on a Boxing Scholarship to Northen Michigan

Sounds like a good natured guy. Thats a good story, and sounds like Holmes is a good guy to look up to taking the time to get to know the kid. Definately a good guy to model the jab after. He did have one of the best.

Thats some nice stuff Daxx.Might be seeing a diamond in the ruff right there.Sounds like he has a genuine grasp on who he is & wants to be and is very level headed,Just as important as that sharp jab he is polishing.Surely he can build on both of those foundations and achieve his goals.Love that answer...."Fear of becoming too one dimensional",Thats refreshing.

He weighs 250? How good is his mobility?

Better then average he doesn't quite weigh that now...I posted that he was 14 at that size...he is taller and weighs about 235 now....

Sounds good, I will watch for him. Good deal to see a kid you know do something so positive with his life

I was about to say 6'3 and 250 he needs to lose 20. I hope to hear from this kid soon. He's at NMU? I think it pretty much snows year round around there. That's a good thing; he won't have anything to do but train.

I think that it is important for young heavyweights to model themselves after the Ali or Holmes type boxers because that skill level is missing from todays heavyweight. The jab wins fights, and a lot of these guys dont realize that. Now they all rely on power and even the top heavyweights are plodders. Young heavies should study Ali-Williams or Holmes-Shavers and emulate their movement and jab. Obviously not every guy has the build or ability to to fight certain styles, but if they do they should learn from former great fighters.

He stands about 6'4 now still growing.....Changing from a kids body into a mans...
