I dont think yo have read all the post I made I advocate training the advanced tactics and fighting the ones you know and are strong at. For the beginner it is the basics.
The art of two masters slipping and weaving and countering is a thing of beaty. It equals the graet works of art and all of natures beaty to me. However for the TS he is new and needs to work the basics. Fast straight hard punches.
I am not advocating to be a slugger to sell tickets. I am saying that running, and jabbing when the guy gets close will not sell tickets. The crowd will still cheer two fighters slipping and executing great footwork but will boo a runner and a clincher.
The throw a punch or two and clinch philosophy has already done a lot of harm to boxing as a spectator sport. People I have talked to state that as a reason they dont watch boxing antmore and I personely will not watch this sort of fight.
Fair enough, i actualy started reading this thread last night when i rolled in from the pub and couldnt sleep. so i read it all, but how much i remember or uderstood at that time is a bit foggy. I see what your saying now, i did take 3 words from your first post and kinda blasted you for that.
Wont argue with this last post made sense of it all.
