- You respect them yet call them "tomato cans"? That's just silly.
- Wikipedia is a source of subjective information, extremely unreliable. Using Wikipedia for a thread about boxing technique is even worse.
- I was writing my response as you posted your advice (which looks like it was copied from somewhere else, a cursory internet search perhaps?). Why would you borrow someone elses training exercises when you yourself claim to have such technical knowledge from your own training? Sounds like you talk the talk and not much else.
- Exactly as I thought. A fan of MMA who trains casually. You are entitled to your opinion, but you've shown great disrespect to many who have entered the ring. Especially when you yourself have not.
- I am genuinely sorry for you not being able to train, that sucks.
I'm glad you are trying to help the TS, but in this case, it seems you think you know a lot more about training than you actually do. Why not just admit your inexperienced and offer to help anyway? Why are you obsessed with proving you are right even when you have admitted you have little direct knowledge outside of observing the sport?
Ad hominem would be telling you that your a self professed catholic choirboy whose MMA experience probably consists of hitting the mitts at your local curves fitness centre then reading MMA books before bed.
You have no fight experience whatsoever, yet you are talking smack about pros who would destroy you with both hands behind their back and not even break sweat. Your also trying to tell people about punching technique when the most experience you've ever had is punching your dorm buddies donuts after choir practice.
I bet your MMA training consists of your priest showing you how to do a triangle choke over and over again, then sodomizing you and calling it "ground and pound".
GTFO out of this thread, you obviously have no idea what the hell your talking about. Go buy another Tapout shirt and drink some Xyience on the way to choir practice you wuss. Leave the real work to the "tomato cans", and the internet training for you and the rest of the keyboard warriors.
Ok, point by point:
-I said I respect them for getting in the ring against a guy like Yuri Foreman. However, a guy with a 12-19 record is the definition of a tomato can. Sorry, but that's just common accepted boxing terminology. Whether
I could beat them in a fight is irrelevant.
-Wikipedia is actually a good source of generic info, as I said; they have editors who do quality checks, and although I would never source it in a paper, it is perfectly fine for
A FUCKING SHERDOG THREAD. And it's fine for this one in particular, because I was trying to enumerate what knockout power is considered to be, as opposed to your retarded definition of it.
- I've done that plyo workout before, that's why I recommended it. Sure, I got it online, but it was a ballbuster workout, and I felt like it helped my explosiveness out.
- I don't feel like i've disrespected these fighters as much as you're suggesting. I said Yuri Foreman doesn't have good knockout power, and I said that the guys he did KO weren't close to being considered elite opposition.
- And there we go, you being a dick. Before the ad hominem was subtle, now you just came out with it. I'm not 'obsessed' with proving myself right, but you're gratuitously insulting my intelligence, and making claims about things which you have no knowledge on.
I have 6 months of experience at boxing/ jits gyms, and I trained at Xtreme Couture in Vegas for 3 months last summer and a month at the beginning of this summer. I don't give a shit whether you think i'm inexperienced or not, because the opinion of an insulting Sherdog dolt isn't something that can get a rouse out of me.
And for all the shit you've talked, the workout you provided is very non-specific for punching power, and incredibly generic. The workout I listed can be done all at one time, works all muscle groups in the body, and are all geared towards generating explosive power for MMA/ kickboxing/ boxing.
So, to sum up... lick my 12 inch taint.
PS- I'm not catholic, or christian, or anything for that matter. But it's good to see that you're not only an asshole, but also a religion intolerant prick.
