Bob n Weave -- Bend at the hips or knees?

[Jacumba Hooker]

Some people are an exception to the rule. Burley practiced upper body movement with his hands down, feet grounded. He could punch with reasonable power from just about any position and with devastating power from the correct position.

The thing is Burley (probably like Dempsey) was a bit of a freak. Fighters in the gym tried to copy him, but could't pull it off. that's why he was great at what he did and others were just good.

Watching others and trying to learn from them is a good way of finding what works for you, your build, physical and physiological attributes and your psychology or available mind-set.

Burley was Burley. Dempsey was Dempsey and you are you!
