a lot more effective with smaller gloves/ bare knuckle. the index and middle knuckle are most stable and less likely to break. small/no gloves allow for harder impact. if you throw hooks like this with boxing gloves it is much less effective. roy jones talked about this. thumbs up on his hooks
@BonesawMD Worst thing for depression is to become logical. Logic becomes an enemy. Constantly finding holes in your goals and dreams and leads you down a bitter path. Better to be delusional. Even when the situations all point to catastrophe, you just have a feeling it will all work out.
@CombatTherapist Definitely. Rodtang is just different unfortunately for Takeru.
check out yoshinari if you havent. has some of the slickest movement and speed ive ever seen. Made his debut here for one
One thing fighters can learn from Ilia Topuria is tripling down on their strengths.
Noticed in many training videos Ilia never wears a shin guard on his lead leg. He also never kicks with this leg in training or his fights.
Once you actually breakdown his striking, it is actually remarkably โsimpleโ.
No body kicks. No head kicks. No kicks with lead leg. Hardly ever throws elbows or knees. And he doesnt even bother training it at this point. Yet he is arguably pound for pound best fighter in the world.
