I've been watching a lot of boxing anime lately, and decided to start watching old footage. I have a relative named after Jack Dempsey, and I gotta say that the Dempsey roll is a hilariously aggressive technique. Literally forcing yourself to repeatedly almost stumble by punching hard af is pure dudes rock energy.

    highly recommend watching fights from the 'four kings era' - marvelous marvin hagler (his legal name), tommy hearns, roberto duran and sugar ray leonard all fought each other in their prime, making for some of the best fights of all time (imo)

    damn i love boxing

    favourite is probably emanuel augustus? he had a 'drunk' style that was pretty incredible to watch, def should check him out!

      One of the Hagler hearns fight explodes into all out warfare from the first bell. Non stop action throughout the fight. I don't think they clinched until like round 3.
