Just got back from Dave Parris,s 65th, You will have somebody else to call now . Everything you say Herb is true. Now for the real world , unless its a really big Fight the winner has already been picked. Its the matchmaker job to get the styles right, if not then you get a Fight. Its then you find out how good a coach has prepared the Fighter in different perceptions of combat Techniques and condition. In the old Days when there was millions Boxing, there was a skill base to work from ie, lots of styles in the gym. Now people work with the odd 1 or 2 in gyms who probably wont spar for months, so the coach works with what He has, then when the charge Sparrs the 1st time He is never seen again. One very pissed of coach. Who in the future wants something for His time. Hope this makes sense Im Pissed
