  1. using that extra momentum while your moving side to side to add extra power to the punch and not waste it is brilliant!!!! Thank you for breaking this down, i can finally understand what is hard to see because mike was SOOOO fast!!!!!

  2. The last thing I'm going to say is this:

    The constant upper body movement takes a tremendous toll on the body, specifically the lower back.

    There's a reason why Patterson and Torres peaked at young ages and were worn out by the time they were in their thirties. Patterson's back was killing him in his rematch with Ali. Mike Tyson had back issues in his thirties as well.

    Jose Torres won the light heavyweight championship at age 28, but he lost it at age 30.

    Patterson was 21 when he won the vacant heavyweight title. He was 24 when he lost it to Johannson, 25 when he regained it in the rematch, and was 27 when he lost the title for good to Liston.

  3. Also, the number system that the style uses is all kinds of strange. I'd imagine that it's so other trainers/fighters can't catch on, but for instance: A left jab in the Peekaboo style is a "7".

    You go into any boxing gym in the country and a left jab is going to be a "1".

    A "1-2" in the Peekaboo is a left hook to the head followed by a right hook to the head. Most fighters don't even learn the right hook until later in their career.

    DON'T.

    There are only a handful of trainers in the world who can teach the Peekaboo properly. Teddy Atlas and Kevin Rooney didn't really pass it on to many trainers.

    And if you're not short, it's not a good style.
