Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense

Product Information

A few words concerning diet cannot be amiss, for it is one of the most important items on the program of the man who would keep his muscles and internal organs at their best. You have to analyse and prepare a fighter physically and mentally for his opponents. True conditioning requires a fighter to always be busy, having fights all the time and having a trainer good enough to at least be attentive to him. There is no secret to hard work and plenty of it. You also need the best sparring partners and there are fewer of those around now.”

Pretty good very dated and much fluff but in all clearly written by a man that knows, strange thing is i have trained all my life i'm 47 now and i knew most of this through my own experience, particularly the so called shoulder jolt and the left shovel punch/hook to the body a chin liver, truly and effective secret weapon..to those in the "know" If I had someone to practice the techniques with, I would have gotten more out of the book, but even still it was decent. The training advice is a bit outdated, though. Dempsey's rise like flash of meteor; New champion battled his way to pugilistic fame in period of three years.

Furthermore, many of today’s boxers fight dumb. They follow their opponents around almost in a straight line. They do not cut off the ring, they fight in a straight-up stance, they hardly ever crouch and they position themselves at a range that is perfect for the opponent to strike. No wonder Muhammad Ali was able to jab his foes so easily, which is not meant as a put-down to Muhammad.” Carpentier wobbled Dempsey with a hard right in the second round. A reporter at ringside, however, counted 25 punches from Dempsey in a single 31-second exchange soon after he was supposedly injured by the right. [35] Carpentier also broke his thumb in that round, which crippled his chances. Dempsey ended up winning the match in the fourth round. He recounted an incident where he was assaulted while walking home at night, telling the press in 1971 that the two young muggers attempted to grab his arms, but he broke free and laid them both out cold on the sidewalk. The story of the encounter appeared in the Hendersonville Times-News, and reported the incident had taken place "a few years [earlier]". [58]
