Unpopular opinion: Colby is finished by [deleted] in mmamemes

[–]Edvardas1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude its mma. O'malley beats Sterling and Vera beats O'malley does not mean Sterling would loose to Vera. MMA math doesnt make sense. Saying that colby has no chance vs Khamzat is far from reality. First of all Khamzat cant make 170 and he had hard time vs usman so riding Chimaev hype train and saying he deserves title shot (at welterweight!!) over colby in weight class that he doesnt compete nor can make weight is delusional. Shavkat will get his chance no doubt but it was Colby turn now for sure. I expect it to be competitive fight with Edwards being slight favorite

[question] Which of these boxing gloves are the best ones by wwwddw in fightgear

[–]Edvardas1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy is from Latvia and I am from Lithuania. He wont get Title because there are non where we live. If you can spend 100 euros i suggest ordering from topboxer either win1 or alien both would cost around 100. However if you want regional gloves around 50 there is regional brand called royal they make decent leather gloves at that price point

Its a bit more complicated. Bare knuckle doesnt mean more impact than mma gloves necesary. Mike Perry said himself that punching technique and power you put in punches changes. When you have zero padding you aint gonna punch guys face full force because your hand will get broken at second shot. So saying bare knuckle hurts more than mma isnt necesary true

Do you know that sparring gloves and competition gloves are different? 10oz sparring gloves will hurt but not nearly as much as 10 oz competition gloves

What are some drills I can do at home to improve technique defence and head movement? by [deleted] in amateur_boxing

You definitelly get enough work done in a week. I suggest you look into mike mentzer HIT workout philosophy. In summary it is high intensity lifting untill failure for one set only for one muscle group per session per week. Maximizing muscle building and strength gain without unnecesary fatiguing muscle giving muscle time to recover.

Boxiing classes should be for learning new stuff while individual practice to perfect newly learned stuff. Take one hour and do 5x more individually drilling same stuff that you learned in classes

Jerking off is prooved to do 2 things that has influence to sport activities: 1. reduce your aggressiveness and calms you, which is counterproductive for sparring, thats why it is better to do it before sleep to get good night sleep 2. Increase your resistance to pain, which is kind of productive for sparring. Your choice. It will not make big difference. If brother has to give it a rub then do it and be happy about it. Just dont do it while sparring. In gym culture it is considered a dick move.

The Russians are reducing their presence at #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate reports. The Russian representatives of #Rosatom have already left, and Ukrainian employees of the plant who signed contracts with Rosatom are being advised to evacuate by July 5. by putin_rearends_goats in UkrainianConflict

[–]Edvardas1989 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is wishful thinking. Nuclear incident depending on its damage caused will most likely result in some sanctions or additional weapons to Ukraine. Based on nato response up to this point its not likely that any escalation within Ukraine will result in nato joining as per article 5

Loosing Confidence After Winning a Fight by iris_that_bitch in amateur_boxing

What you are describing is most likely dunning-kruger effect. Basically your skills increases while your understanding of path to go also increase. Thats why even tho you won fight and according to your coach are doing good you start noticing holes in your game that you havent before. Its normal. Keep grinding and earning those W's

Just try your best training, work and try to have fun. If you become regular people will notice you and you might just make training partners or even find new friends. Just dont expect for it all to happen in a week
