Ryo Mashiba uses it. :lovin:
be prepared for some serious ippo and sendo comparisons lol.
I’ve only been boxing for about two years now, but I really fell in love with this sport. It’s a nice sport to follow.
As for the “flicker jab”, my very limited knowledge would say that I don’t know what kind of punch that is. But, it is not a textbook boxing punch. It is probably an inprov type punch that someone like Naseem Hamed would create because unorthodox ( not southpaw stance) fighters tend to inprov their punches.
I don’t know to much about Thomas Hearns ( my knowledge from 185 - back is not good), but I have seen his fights with Rey Leonard and Marvin Hagler.
Paul Williams is like a modern day Tommy Hearns. Paul is tall and lanky and fights in a low weight class for his natural weight like Hearns. So I’ll use him as an example. Paul has a jab that is kinda like a “backhand”. Paul also “paws” with the jab. Many tall fighters that fights in weight classes not natural to them are taught to use their jab to establish their height and reach advantage. The jab is the most important punch in boxing. The jab is a setup, range finder, and a safer scoring punch if done right. Wladimir Klitschko, a heavyweight champion, also relies on his jab.
(I don’t know if I answered your question… )
Actually it’s more like Sendo, Ippo has ‘‘healing fists’’.
Lol as the person says Steve Fox uses the Flicker jab in tekken.
i like how steve fox is an amalgamation of all ippo characters lol.
Yeah, thanks for that info. I’m not sure if I completely understand what made Hearns’ jab special either, but I was under the impression that he threw it at a strange angle and very fast. In the fights I watched, it almost seemed he was using a whip-like motion. Also, in my (admittedly not very broad) experience, I hadn’t seen anyone else with a stance like Hearns.
Anyways, I’ll check out those other fighters. Thanks again! :bgrin:
Well It’s throwing it at the hip, he was so tall and faught tall that he could dodge punches with pure head movement while being able to jab at wierd angles. Paulie isn’t tall enough, but he is super fast, I THINK RJJ does this a lot too.
Yuriorkis Gamboa is one of the best prospects ive seen in a long time. His talent is crazy. Has anyone else seen this guy fight?
Wasn’t Gamboa on Friday night fights little back? Actually I might be thinking about someone else.
Ima check his fight.rec
Yeah, it was him. He fought a guy named Johnnie Edwards and beat him by a stoppage in the first.
Yea, he was. That kid is nice. This week on FNF, Andy Lee will make his debut.
- Joel Casamayor vs. Michael Katsidis should be a good one this Saturday
Katsidis is for real, that dude is like Gatti reborn/
I feel as if the Vasquez vs Marquez, Diaz vs Campbell, and Pacquiao vs Marquez fights forced to much excitement out of me. It basically sapped my enthusiasm for a moment. Having such great fights so close together with any kind of regularity kind of sets the standards to high. In my head as I was watching the Pacquiao Marquez fight I knew what was going on was great but I just didn’t feel that way. Having the memory of clean punches being landed so frequently made the shit extremely mediocre to me for a minute there.
I just had to get that out.
this is kind of random but let me throw this out there. A couple of my friends and myself are looking to buy some boxing gloves so we can beat the shit out of each other (ahh, male bonding). Is there anything I should be looking out for when i’m making the purchase? you get what you pay for, and so what should be the price range that i’m looking at. Lastly where would i find to buy these gloves, it just seems to me that big 5 just won’t cut it.
I usually get my gear from www.titleboxing.com, but your local Big 5 should be good enough because they sell name brands like Everlast.

If you are not planning to goto into a boxing ring, you don’t need the shoes. Should run you from $200 to $300. I’m over estimating the $300 part.
Are you guys interested in learning boxing or just scraping in the backyard? At its fundamentals, boxing is very basic.

Three’s a really great fight right now on ESPN’s FNF between Brian Vera and Andy Lee. It’s a really fast-paced, hard-hitting fight. One of the best I’ve seen in a while. Definitely worth checking out.
In a year full of upsets, what-an-upset. Great main event fight. It shows that in boxing, it is not a height contest. Brain Vera showed a lot of heart, coming back from a first round knockdown. I don’t know if it was a good stoppage because Lee was throwing a left when he got stopped, but Lee was on spaghetti legs from being rocked continuously.
My first look at Andy Lee, no way this guy would have beat Kelly Pavilk.
I can understand that. It’s like every round was a carbon copy of the last. 36 rounds of the three fights you mentioned were intense. Especially in Vazquez vs. Marquez III. I’m just as much of a fan of defensive skills. Fighters like Steven Luevano and Cristian Mijares has master the craft of defense in the sweet science. Too bad they are not as popular.
i just caught the casamayo/katsidis fight and the pacman/marquez rebroadcast
i’m not really up on the old lightweights that much, but watching casamoya deal with katsidis pretty much bullrushing him the whole fight was very entertaining. he looked like he was dead on his feet 2 or 3 times in the fight but he still managed to pull the KO out of nowhere (which i didn’t see live bcuz i ran to the bathroom real quick thinking i wouldn’t miss anything). great fight although i think the ref stopped it a bit too soon considering that he let casamayo stumble around the ring for about 50-55 secs in the 6th.
the pacquiao fight definitely delivered, pretty ironic that casamayo called pac and marquez out with his fight being shown before the rebroadcast and all though. boxers are by far the best interviews, so cocky and delusional sounding at times.
+“he wasn’t a very good puncher”
-“did i hear you correctly that he wasn’t a good puncher? he knocked you down twice and looked like he had you hurt in the 4th!”
+“nah, i was just waiting on my trainer to tell me to get him out of there.”
too much damn holding. if a guy is holding you and thats “fair” do it back
