Youtube Channel + First Video

The YouTube channel is done. From now on I plan to do commentary videos and link them here. First video should be done by Wednesday. As a first video I'll talk about the sport of boxing, why you should chose it and what can boxing bring in your life. It should be some kind of a motivation/inspiration video.

The Future

I've been quite busy the last few months and I have completely forgotten about this blog. Now as I get more time I'll have the opportunity to write new stuff. There is going to be a new series of articles that I'll probably advertise via new youtube channel, that I'm planing to create. Stay tuned!

Some thoughts on the future + extra high motivational speech from Mike Tyson!

Right now I'm not that much into boxing. I'm too busy to maintain this blog, but I'll try to keep it alive. It's just a little hard. I hope this speech motivates you as much as it motivated me. Here it goes:

"When I finished this game, they never stopped talking about me. The only reason they stopped talking about me is because I'm not a corporate man, so to speak. I didn't fit in with the society standards.

I just have to reign, I just have to be the beast, I have to be the savage, just to put in place the erudites and the bourgeois and these. The people of this society that believe that I'm trash and I'm scum. I'll be trash and I'll be scum, but I'll be angelic trash and scum!"

Cotto vs Mayorga

Cotto - won 35 (KO 28) / lost 2 (KO 2) / drawn 0

Mayorga - won 29 (KO 23) / lost 7 (KO 4) / drawn 1

Two of today's most entertaining boxers are face to face on 13th of March.
I'll make sure to post livestream links before the match and if it's not on livestream I'll post a download link.

About motivation!

Never lose your motivation!
Never let yourself lose the interest in something!
Never give up easy!
I admit I gave up writing for a long time, because I had no motivation for boxing.
I tried watching some videos, but it didn't work for me. I had no motivation to continue writing and boxing.
I stopped boxing a long time ago and I'm just not that much interested in it. I lost that motivation, that interest to learn everything.
Never let this happen to you!
Stay motivated!

[AW] What I think about the Klitchko brothers...

So... I started this argument in Youtube about who's better Mike Tyson or Vitali Klitchko. That's just stupid. You've got to be very, very limited in your mind to say that Klitchko is better than Tyson. First of all Mike Tyson is a legend, Vitali is not. He'll never be. Mike Tyson has much more power than Klitchko, he is also much faster, more elusive and I bet Vitali wouldn't be able to hit him with a jab. They both have good chins. They both haven't defeated anybody special. Vitali's last 3 fights are versus boxers above 30 years old and of course old Shannon Briggs. I won't say anything about Tyson-Klitchko anymore, because it really doesn't need any more evidence.

So now let me move to the main theme of this post - what I think about the Klitchko brothers. Well definitely I prefer watching Wladimir over Vitali, because he is more interesting, more explosive, but he isn't a *better* boxer. Vitali has a better chin and has a better style. Actually I prefer watching Holyfield over these brothers. I'll tell you why. First of all Holyfield may be 48 years old, or 50, or 60 years old BUT he still is Holyfield. Just look at the footwork of these Ukrainian brothers - it doesn't exist! Of course Tyson didn't have footwork, but he didn't need one, he was elusive. Klitchko gets nailed with every punch. In the Lewis fight, Vitali may have had the edge, but he got outsmarted by old Lennox (lots of respect). Lewis just went for his cut and finished the fight. That's what Klitchkos are missing - the smarts. The granite chin and muscular body DON'T make you a legend, these things don't put your name next to the likes of Muhammad Ali, Rocky Marciano, Jack Johnson, Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Luis, Lewis, Frazier, Liston, Foreman... YOU NAME THEM. You can have a decent chin, you can have a muscular body, but you can still be a statue. You can have a 6-pack and still get destroyed by a 50-year old with a belly... So the Klitchkos will never be legends in my opinion, because they need to get smarter in that ring and there is no time. This year Vitali will turn 40! I don't see any way for him to become anything more than a good boxer - to become a legend. With all respect. :)

[AW] When boxing gets personal...

I don't know about you but I just love it when boxing gets personal. It's always funny when boxers take on each other out of the ring. This LINK is just so funny. I laughed my ass off.

Happy Birthday to Muhammad Ali!

Yep. Today is the 17th of January and also... Muhammad Ali's birthday! Don't need to say who Ali is or what he has done in his career. The only thing that needs to be said is: Greatest Of All Times. For some people it was like yesterday when he was fighting all those great matches: The Fight of the Century, Rumble in the Jungle, Thrilla in Manila... Muhammad Ali is legendary, he is not from this planet when we talk about his boxing skills. Just take this note - one of the greatest fans of Ali is Mike Tyson himself. Write that down and don't forget it!

Muhammad Ali, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

[AW] Boxing Ring, Ring Tactics and Boxing Corner

Have you ever wondered what all the elements in and/or around the boxing ring are? Have you ever wondered how big the ring is? Well, this is the article for you! The picture above represents a typical atmosphere during a boxing match.

*NOTE: There are 4 judges in a boxing match - 3 outside the ring who score the fight and 1 inside the ring - commonly known as the referee.

As you've probably heard they call any boxing ring - the magic square, because it is a square. Each of the 4 sides is identical to the other 3 and can be from 4.1 to 6.9 meters long. As you can see the ring is 'lifted' off the ground. This 'lifting' is done so that people in the crowd can see what's going on inside. The canvas is 0.9 meters above the ground.

On each corner of the ring there is a pole. The poles are all connected with 4 ropes. These ropes serve as a wall and as a cage at the same time. 2 nearby ropes form a corner. There are 4 corners - 1 red corner, 1 blue corner and 2 neutral corners. The blue and the red corners as well as the 2 neutral corners are opposing each other and are positioned diagonally. Boxers sit in the red and the blue corner and in an event of a knockdown the boxer who is still standing must go to the nearest neutral corner.

Every professional boxer has a "corner". This time the word "corner" refers to the people who are with him during the 60 second break between rounds. Three people form a boxer's corner - a trainer, an assistant trainer and a cutman. Both trainers give tips to the boxer, explain tactics that he should apply next round in order to improve his performance. The cutman takes care if the boxer has any damage on his face - a swelling, a cut, etc. He uses a special gel that can't contain more than 1/1000 adrenaline (so I've heard). This gel is used to stop the bleeding.

Ring tactics are probably more important than the skill of the boxer, because when applied they can turn a match around. I won't explain any ring tactics in this post, because it is already too long. All I can say for now is that these tactics depend a lot on the boxer's footwork, distance sense and brain. I believe in this: What makes you lose a boxing match is your own stupidity! Don't be stupid! Be clever and creative!
