Only a handful. They aren't on TV very much but now they have Friday Night Fights... I watched some old fight between Cassius Clay and some other guy last Friday.

Right after that I watched I think 3 men and women's fights but I don't remember how they did their body punches. I guess I need to pay more attention... I mostly remember what they did when going for the head shots. Maybe it's harder to see what they are doing when they do body hits?

The last fight I saw was between 2 guys, one was Oliverio I think and the other was Agustus or something like that... Oliverio got hit in the head a lot and was showing signs of brain damage I think at the end of the fight... did anyone else see that one?

Anyway can I buy tapes to watch somewhere?

Also what's a good way to get used to keeping the proper distance when punching so that you hit your opponent effectively? I notice my nephew when he hits the heavy bag, he keeps moving in close when he throws a punch so his arms never extend when he punches. I think he's losing a lot of power this way, his punches sound so weak on the bag, almost like he's pushing it instead of hitting it. I'm sure I do it too sometimes.
