Bam Rodriguez knows how to throw the cross properly to get the kind of explosive power which stopped Vargas last night.

Most fighters focus on the finishing punch. The best fighters focus on the setup.

Sunday morning. A few rounds on the pads.
People often ask me how I stay sharp at 80. The truth is, there isn't a secret.

The block is one of the simplest defensive skills in boxing and one of the most overlooked.

The heart punch isn't a big swinging shot.
It's a short, straight punch thrown as you slip inside. That takes courage because you're moving towards the danger, not away from it.

Your gloves pressed against your face might feel safe, but all you're doing is cushioning the punch.

Most beginners think the closer their gloves are to their face, the safer they are

The traditional parry takes your opponent off balance. The reverse parry can do even more.

For too long, we've been told that getting older means slowing down. I don't believe that. At 80, I'm still learning, still training, still hitting the pads, and still finding ways to improve.
