Enjoy some of the oldschool peeps! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1074789965571336815 Dig the old training footage! Please post any footage you have of him.
man if only i could DL from google video... that is a sweet vid, he sure loved those uppercuts and shovel hooks
Yeah apparently Google has a pay service that allows you DL. Pfffttt... I'll see if I can find this somewhere else... It must be around. But you gotta love old training footage.. med bag, speed bag... and look how scrappy the fights are. Brilliant. The rings back then were terrible. They might as well have used rubber bands for the ropes. If I'm not mistaken at one point in the clip he get's knocked clean through the ropes and then gets back in and KO's is opponent!
we still use the old medicine ball but man, i wish i looked half as good as that on the speedbag! how the hell does he do those hook things? the mind boggles
yeah I get a pretty much a daily med ball workout in. You can' beat them for many times of training.... as you well know. In regards to hooking... yeah I'm not even close to be able to hook the speed bag and keep it going.:cry:
I understand this is pretty subjective...but am I the only one that thinks Robinson doesn't have a distinct look to him? He seems to have a face that easily blends in or is easily forgotten. In some shots, he looks like Ali, and in others, he looks like Liston... He doesn't have the Tyson snarl, or Ali's pretty face.. Could just be the time period in which he fought affecting this though..?
Nice vid, some brutal kos. I like the one where that guys gum shield comes flying out. Im loving the table tennis bit with the twirls too! hope we can find some place to download it
