I'm not talking as in preparing for the pro game.
I'm mean if u put in two guys , one with 30 and one with 80 fights or two guys one with 100 and the other with 200 fights , the difference (if any) between them isn't as big as you'd think.
On the flip side , there's a big difference between a guy with 5 fights and a guy with 30......usually.
there's not much (if any)difference between a guy with 30 fights and a guy with 80.
On an extreme note , my coach fought a guy who had 350 fights , US champ , had just beaten Meldrick Taylor in his last competition ....when he had just 9 fights , the 8th and 9th being in that same tournament.
He lost a split decision .
I say a year and a half in the ammys but in reality it's a more. I just rounded it off to a year and a half to avoid saying, a year and 8 months. it's just easier to say a year and a half. I didn't know I was going to get bashed on my record. on the contrary, I should get more appreciation on it. I go to the gym and train hard everyday, I dedicate myself to the sport and give it my all. Just because numbers didn't add up don't mean I'm fake. You guys really escalated this to something it shouldn't have gone too. I know that I'm good at what I do and I know the amount of fights I have, I could care less if you don't believe it.
.......on pro transition since that's what amateur level are for.
That's not extreme, if this kid continuest fighting at exactly the same rate he should hit 380 fights by the age of 19.
1040 if he stays ammy until he's 23-24!!!
That's not extreme,.....
lolwut ?
If he came on here saying he (with all of 5-6 fights prior to the tournament) just got robbed off a SD to the US champ (a guy well known around those circles) .....a fight he said he got robbed because there was no way three American judges ....in America ....were going to let some skinny black kid showboat off their man and let their champ loose to a guy with 8 fights....... He'd be laughed out here right quick.
Hell , I'd be the one leading the parade of lulz !
^^^ What's you view of the typical Kyokushinkai kumite emphasis?"is it okay to spar hard every sparring session?"
The short answer is no.
If you try to make every sparring session into a championship title fight then you're not going to be able to clock enough hours in the ring to actually learn how to fight before you tear your body (and your training partners) to pieces.
Spar at a pace you can sustain without killing each other, and log 100 hours a month in the ring. Then once a week or so, pick up the pace. Any more than that and you'll most likely be sparring one or two rounds a week tops, ad it'll show come come fight time when all you've learned is to be a punching bag that hits back instead of how to move.
Okay guys, as far as I know there's only one video of me in an exhibition match. It was in aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Watch in high quality. I'm the one in blue, I had about 95 fights including exhibitions at this time.

^^^ Nice work, especially like your guard.....

Thanks man. I've improved my defense amazingly since then.
^^^ Even Better, no contact sparring @ all.... ****I stopped reading this at page two, so I'm gonna just respond as if it wasn't a troll thread.
No, I don't believe in HARD sparring every day. Light sparring after hard days and a few medium days between hard sessions. Hard sparring for years will make you as drunk as James Toney in the long term, and lots of injuries in the short term (which will keep you from training at all).
^^^ Even Better, no contact sparring @ all.... ****

**** my conclusion after 12 pages & before....
RE YELLE ////NO contact sparring? Disagree, you gotta learn to take a punch
Yelle has pretty poor upper-body posture. Strong legs. But the general slouching of his shoulders results in the distinct inability to keep his chin out of harm's way. When he gets hit, he gets hit FLUSH...and HARD. Joey, on the other hand, isn't bothered by being hit nearly as much....
So I challenge you all to find a fight like this where posture makes a HUGE difference.
