It's teachable but not by the point AJ is at. He actually has really good mechanics for how huge he is but he definitely lumbers around the ring pretty damn flat footed at times. As Wlad kept backing straight up out of range I kept saying to myself that AJ would do wonders with a simple 1>1>2 to cover distance and set up that big right hand but I just don't think that kind thing is even in his toolbox....or will be.

Leaning out a bit and a shit ton of footwork/agility drills would def help a bunch but he'll never be a HW with the active footwork of say Fury, who I think is a horrid matchup for AJ and Wilder tbh. That part of his game is ingrained in him at this point, though. He'll always be a plodder. It's something that would need to have been addressed way before even the Olympic level. Best you can do at this point is "camouflage" it and bring it up to snuff a bit.

A good, high volume HW would have put it on him in those mid rounds imo.

Well said.

I'm torn on Fury because of the drug and alcohol issues. The regular version of him is definitely a problem. I don't know if we'll see that again though

I posted it above but Ricardo Williams.

He actually ended up at Savannahs a few years ago.

I'll never forget Danny saying "man I hate that mother fucker" because boxers blame I'm for signing bonuses going down

Completely agree. I was speaking about a completely healthy version of him. I'm pretty sure that's a dead issue at this point tho lmao.

Heard he's back in the gym at least.

I heard he was going through an 8 ball a day lol. That's serious business.

He is back in the gym and supposedly there's no coke anymore which is somewhat impressive when you have a habit like that but he's still drinking pretty heavy from what I was told.

On a side not do you see anything in Kell Brook we may be missing? He's pretty technically sound from all we have watched. Him shaking his left arm if fucking hilarious though. Might be the weirdest tell I've seen if it isn't from an injury
 
The reaction on the set was gold

"Ohhh..... nooooooooo...."
 
"In the sense that... you know I mean... like, but... what I'm saying is that..."

ROFL
 
I don't understand why that video has so many dislikes. Shit is hilarious lmao

Yeah he leans forward too much when throwing his right hand (esp when his hands go) and isn't getting a lot of rotation on his fist when he's throwing it so the shoulder isn't naturally rising up to protect his chin. He's quick, though, so a left cross counter would be really hard to time but it's there especially off a inside slip, pull (ala Floyd) or rolling and countering with an uppercut or something. I know that isn't E's game, though.

Has a bad habit of not bringing his hands back to his chin, either, but gets away with it because he's quick and throws a lot of volume. Like he punches from the waist almost.

You can see both (especially the lean) a bunch in this highlight alone. Gets his weight way too forward on his front foot a lot to the point he's actually falling all over his opponent at times.



The inside angle (opposite of what a southpaw usually tries to exploit...think Loma and Manny) is important for E in this fight. I could blab on for days tho and I know nobody gives a fuck lmao.

Yeah, not his game at all. His uppercut is pretty sloppy if I'm being honest to the point we say to not to throw it (he still does and he gets countered every time).

You see the same. I think a quick left check hook is where he hurts him. Even though E isn't as fast as most think he is he can get that punch in if he's patient.

I'm honestly not worried about this one though. I have even asked Gennady about it but he did what I figured (had no respect for his power). A lot of people said he was "exposed" there but he knew Brook couldn't hurt him and he responded accordingly. That is not the advice I have given to E lol. I've seen him hurt in sparring

Deliciously tight observations Mr Rico.

His onslaught puts him off balance tremendously. His hips raise up too much someone who moves like Loma would exploit that and gape from sharp angles .

It's because his cardio isn't good. I think we addressed that this camp

Loma is different. Nobody normally has that pedigree coming into the pros. Salido as your first fight? Arum is a can for that but he's still about as "clean" a fighter as you'll see. You know what I mean by clean

Worked a charity wine event yesterday. I was pouring my wine heavy AF so I depleted my supply in like an hour(4 hour event in total) so I just walked around and got pretty trashed. Met some bird who was there with her parents and they took us out to dinner after lmao. Catastrophically hungover today though. This is trash.

Will there be a second date? And is it a group package? Or were you just trying to bang the daughter and not all 3?
