May I get your opinions with this fight?

Well it seem to me that Cotto looked really bad after the fight with Clottey.
Why is this so?

Its ok Oso, you lasted long against the pro.

I have made a thread about this in Thai boxing but around here Thai boxing is way too expensive.Is joining a boxing gym worth it? I have a heavy bag and work that everyday, I watch numerous videos on technique and apply it to my heavy bag workout. I wrestle folkstyle for my school. I think I would enjoy going to a boxing gym. The main attraction of going to a boxing gym is boxing other people.

Peace,

Hi Mike, now you started boxing...

How do you think you would approach a self defense situation differently to how you would have before you started boxing?

Have any of your perceptions of JKD (as a system, i know but you know what i mean) changed since you started boxing?

Has taking up boxing changed your view of your own abilities?

Is boxing what you thought it was before you started it?

Thanks

Ghost

This looks cool:

Mark Wahlberg plays Micky Ward in new flick “The Fighter”

Pending approval of the final script, Variety is reporting that Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg have signed to star in “The Fighter,” which will tell the true story “Irish” Micky Ward. Wahlberg will play Ward. Damon will play his trainer and half-brother, Dick Ecklund.

I’ve been dying to do a boxing movie my whole career,” Wahlberg recently told Reuters. “I’ve been close to doing two, and they kinda fell apart, but it’s something I’m very excited about.”

Paramount Pictures recently green-lit the film and production is scheduled to begin this summer in Boston. The film chronicles the two brothers growing up in Lowell, Massachusetts and goes through Ward’s success and immortalization as a fighter.

Ecklund was a journeyman fighter who sent Sugar Ray Leonard to the canvas in 1978. His career was derailed by drug addiction and a prison sentence. Upon his release, he convinced his younger brother, Ward – who had retired from boxing at 26 after losing four straight – to get back in the ring. Under Ecklund’s tutelage, Ward won the WBU Light Welterweight title and engaged in one of the greatest fight trilogies in history with Arturo Gatti.

I know you all are tired of the age old discussion of weightlifting, but here is someone who has actually experimented with both and this is what i found.
1.) I lifted for three years doing only compound and explosive exercises some days only 1-3 reps other days 20-25 still only compound and explosive exercises
2.) I still ran about 2 miles 3 days a week
3.) I circuit trained alternating between explosive bag work 2minutes bag 1 minute burpees 1 minute other stuff like sledge hammer etc.. for 5 rounds of 4 minutes
4.) I still gassed by three rounds in sparring

I watch my diet and do plenty of cardio

I then switched to this:
1.) two and a half mile runs in army boots 4 days a week
2.) bag work alternating dips and pushups totaling 4minute rounds for 5
3.) lots of pull-ups 20 at a time times 3 sets
4.) hill runs included in my roadwork
I can now spar 5 rounds and still some, and I still keep my power.

so for me its old school training all the way no more weights, that eliminates an hour and a half from my training and now I only keep my protein at 70 grams a day and the carbs havent changed
