NEW-SCHOOL TRAINERS VS OLD-SCHOOL TRAINERS. WHO IS BETTER?

New-school trainers vs Old-school trainers. An old-school trainer is always a better choice over a new-school trainer. You ask Punchingbagskunk.com resident boxing expert Greg Townes why? Old-school trainers have experience as well as knowledge. New-school trainers only have knowledge.

New-school trainers might be able to teach you to throw a punch in battle…maybe! But they are not qualified to prepare you for the mental battle all fighters go through prior to fights. They can teach you how to knock someone down. But they cant teach you how to get up from a knockdown.

They are familiar with teaching the X’s and O’s, but not the intangibles concerning boxing. Things like mental preparation. Pre-fight fear and even overconfidence. New-school trainers can build up muscles but cant build confidence. They can tell you where to throw a hook, but cant mentally prepare you to step into the danger zone to land the hook on anything but the heavy bag.

Punchingbagskunk resident boxing expert Greg Townes speaks on this topic at length in the article HOW TO BECOME A GREAT FIGHTER.

A boxer‘s training depends largely on the point in their career at which he or she is situated. If the boxer is just a beginner, a minimal training routine might consist of learning how to hit a heavy bag, a speed bag, or a double end bag (a small bag with a cord on top and bottom connecting it to the floor and ceiling) as well as doing shadowboxing in front of a mirror, skipping rope, calisthenics and jogging every day, as well as an occasional practice bout inside the ring (sparring). Most beginning boxers will spend most of their early careers conditioning and establishing the fundamentals. For the amateur or professional boxer preparing for a competition or bout, however, training is much more stringent. Boxing is widely considered one of the most physically demanding sports in the world.

WHAT IS BOXING REALLY ABOUT, MIND OR BODY?

Goofy stick play and patty cake pad work do nothing to prepare a fighter for real combat. And new-school trainers love to work the pads with people they are training. Boxing is about confidence not physical strength. You build a fighters confidence so when they are ready to take that ring walk and step into the boxing ring, they are fighting machines. They will believe they are the greatest. And as a man thinketh……you know the rest.

WHO IS MIKE TYSON? THE OLD-SCHOOL FIGHTER TRAINED BY A OLD-SCHOOL TRAINER.

Michael Gerard Tyson (born June 30, 1966) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 2005. Nicknamed “Iron Mike”^[3] and “Kid Dynamite” in his early career, and later known as “The Baddest Man on the Planet”,^[4] Tyson is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.^[5] He reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. Tyson won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them in the first round.

WHAT BELTS DID MIKE TYSON WIN

Claiming his first belt at 20 years, four months, and 22 days old, Tyson holds the record as the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title.^[6] He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, as well as the only heavyweight to unify them in succession. The following year, Tyson became the lineal champion when he knocked out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds of the first round.^[7] In 1990, Tyson was knocked out by underdog Buster Douglas^[8] in one of the biggest upsets in history.

Punchingbagskunk resident boxing expert Greg Townes delivers his usual boxing wisdom concerning the boxing game. This video is a case study in not only the mind of a professional prize fighter, but also the psychology behind what constitutes bravery. Greg compares the proposed match between Gervonta and Devin to the epic 1981 welterweight battle between the legendary fighters Thomas Hearns and Ray Leonard.

BOXING NEEDS GERVONTA DAVIS vs DEVIN HANEY. IS MONEY RUINING THE PROUD SPORT OF BOXING?

He talks about the mentality behind what fighters think about the serious dangers they face each and every time they step into the squared circle. Do fighters think about eye injuries like retina tears like Ray Leonard endured? Expert Greg answers that question in depth. Greg talks about words like honor and courage. He feels these important elements to boxing is lacking in todays boxing game. Greg feels that money plays a major role in the slow destruction of the very fabric that holds boxing together. A fabric that was sewn together by a host of brave warriors who laid the foundation to the noble sport of boxing. Gervonta Davis vs Devin Haney saves.

WHY IS BOXING LIKE NO OTHER SPORT?

What made William Wallace stand up to the English king against overwhelming odds? We explore these interesting mysteries before Greg provides the answers to that question. What drove Apollo Creed to the point of obsession to need to fight Rocky Balboa when he already beat him according to the judges scorecards? Punchingbagskunk feels these things are connected to boxing. That’s why boxing is like no other sport. Boxing is unique in that it demands every ounce of will power to reach the highest levels of the sport.

WHO ARE THE NEW HEAVY HITTERS IN BOXING SHOES?

If successful YouTube multi-millionaires like Jake Paul can leap frog all other world class fighters to secure major fights, what is going on in boxing? What does it mean to lace up boxing shoes? Do you know the purpose of putting on hand wraps? What is the true meaning behind putting on boxing gloves? Greg goes to the common denominator to give you the answer to these questions. Anybody can punch a punching bag. But can anyone be a boxer? Is boxing dead? Greg lets you know in this video.

Maybe Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney don’t really know how much is riding on their boxing match. They could be the savior of boxing. Punchingbagskunk.com

Davis vs Romero buzz picking up steam. The talk about a match between boxing superstar Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero seems to be all fight fans are talking about right now. Fresh off his convincing TKO win over Mario Barrios, Tank seems poised to take over the mantle left vacant by his mentor Floyd Mayweather. According to Stephen Espinoza SHOWTIME president, Tank Davis (25-0-0) 24KO’s will be returning to the ring in December. Potential opponents are floating. None as enticing as Rolando (Rolly) Romero.

Punchingbagskunk Boxing Media Inc. Resident boxing expert Greg Townes has confirmed through his sources, that Romero is at the top of the list for Gervonta (Tank) Davis next fight opponent. Davis vs Romero buzz is abound. Rolando Romero (14-0-0) 12 KO’s has been busy setting social media on fire saying he will be fighting Gervonta Davis.

Hypothetically speaking. If a fight between these two materialized, it would be a plus for the boxing community. Two undefeated, young fighters meeting in their prime. That in itself is a rare occurrence in the current boxing landscape. Boxing has been taking a beating from the boxing purest for its acceptance of Guys like Conner McGregor and Jake Paul. McGregor being a MMA champion not boxing champion. And Jake Paul being a sensational YouTube millionaire.

Not like McGregor and Paul, Rolando is a legitimate threat to dethrone Gervonta. Romero has heavy hands and boxing ability. Its safe to say he cracks pretty hard with his boxing gloves at 14-0-0 with 12 of those wins coming via knockout. With that said, its common knowledge that Tank Davis can bomb. His uppercut is one of the most feared punches in the entire boxing game. opponents like Leo Santa Cruz, Mario Barrios and Yuriokis Gamboa can attest to that.

GERVONTA AND ROLANDO ARE UNDER THE SAME PROMOTIONAL BANNER. DOES THAT MAKE THE FIGHT EASY TO MAKE?

Both these young fighters are under the same promotional banner. That makes the fight easier to make. Having competing managers and promoters can complicate negotiations. Floyd Mayweather is on record saying he wants to keep everything in house. Brilliant move from Floyd from a strictly business angle. Floyd has been known to make boxing decisions based purely on the potential to maximize profits. You cannot argue with his success.

Queer street, what does it mean in boxing? Boxing is one of the most Macho sports, if not the MOST macho sport.

Queer Street what does it mean in boxing. Queer is a blanketed term for gender minorities who are not heterosexual.

A term denoting and or relating to a sexual or gender identity, that does not line up with established ideas of sexuality and gender, could very well be construed as disrespectful or even offensive to a fighter.

Saying a fighter was on queer street refers to a short term situation. The reality is there are other terms and sayings in the noble art of pugilism that sting much more. They would be an affliction. Or opposed to a temporary situation.

To say a fighter has no heart would be an affliction. And it is a cardinal sin to have that term associated with you if you are a prizefighter. Punchingbagskunk.com article,

“FIGHTER HAS NO HEART. 4 WAYS TO TELL; speaks on this very topic. If you say a fighter cannot punch, or has no chin. These are other derogatory slanders that are thrown around. But the number one insult to any prizefighter, is to call them a coward.

To see a man beaten, not by a better opponent but by himself is a tragedy.

Cus D’Amato

It is really redundant to call a person who climbs ring stairs to swap punches with an opponent a coward. The fact that individuals sacrifice during training.

Getting in a boxing ring to essentially put their life on the line in my estimation are absolutely nowhere close to being in the same universe as a coward.

WHILE SUSTAINING NO DAMAGE

Some fighters never paid a visit to queer street. Other fighters came back from queer street. Plenty fighters never recovered from queer street.

Queer street is a synonym for stinger, bell rung, La La land, etc. Queer street what does it mean in boxing?

When you get punched in the head your brain crashes against your skull. Not enough to render you unconscious, but enough to put you in that dreamlike state where your not fully conscious, yet not unconscious.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to navigationJump to search“Punch drunk” redirects here. For other uses, see Punch drunk (disambiguation).

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease linked to repeated blows to the head. The encephalopathy symptoms can include behavioral problems, mood problems, and problems with thinking.^[1][2] The disease often gets worse over time and can result in dementia.^[2] It is unclear if the risk of suicide is altered.^[1]

Most documented cases have occurred in athletes involved in striking-based combat sports, such as boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and Muay Thai—hence its original name dementia pugilistica (Latin for “fistfighter’s dementia“)—and contact sports such as American football, Australian rules football, professional wrestling, ice hockey, rugby, and association football (soccer),^[1][4] but also in semi-contact sports such as baseball and basketball.

QUEER STREET, WHATS OTHER MEANINGS?

Other risk factors include being in the military, prior domestic violence, and repeated banging of the head.^[1] The exact amount of trauma required for the condition to occur is unknown, and as of 2021 definitive diagnosis can only occur at autopsy.^[1] The disease is classified as a tauopathy.^[1]

There is no specific treatment for the disease.^[3] Rates of CTE have been found to be about 30% among those with a history of multiple head injuries;^[1] however, population rates are unclear.^[2] Research in brain damage as a result of repeated head injuries began in the 1920s, at which time the condition was known as dementia pugilistica or “fistfighter’s dementia”, “boxer’s madness”, or “punch drunk syndrome”.^[1][3] It has been proposed that the rules of some sports be changed as a means of prevention.^[1]
