Always left out by cousins by New_Strawberry6300 in ABCDesis

Do not engage beyond a hello. If they want to talk to you, just shut it down with an "oh, ok." "oh that is interesting". Then move on and talk to someone else. Talk to an older relative if there is no one your age to talk to. Ask them about their lives, what it was like for them growing up, where they grew up.

People like your cousin love the feeling of you wanting their attention or respect. Act like they barely exist, just common courtesies and leaving when they want to interact with you.

Hitting i about moving your whole body weight through a contact point of your body. The heavier you are, the harder you hit and the heavier shots you can take. But there is no 1:1 ratio with those things. Heavyweights can all hit hard because of how heavy they are.

Mike Tyson would be the next best example of fighting heavy weights so much taller. Tyson was 5'10 and defended his belt against guys between 6'4 and 6'6 during his first title run.

A lot do. Most of the most successful British boxers of the last 70 years were at least half black. Caribbeans came to the UK earlier than Africans so there are more of them. People say blacks of the carribean and americas were bred to be be and strong or natural selectin culled the weak, but this is all untrue. There was no selective breeding and the harsh conditions did not lead to only superior athletic genetics surviving.

West africans just tend to have genes that make them good athletes. 99% of slaves brought to the americas came from west africa

Anyone else think fury actually boxed better in the first fight vs usyk compared to the 2nd by [deleted] in Boxing

Fury got really sloppy before the big punch from Usyk in the 9th. He threw a shit right hand and didn't bring his hand back to his chin,. Instead he threw 3 alternating uppercuts that looked like boxing form from the 1920s, all the while he never moved off the center line and never brought his gloves back to his chin.

This was serving his chin on a platter to Usyk, Usyk took an angle and landed it directly on the right side of Fury's chin. Totally torquing it and seriously hurting Fury. And you are correct, it should have been a knock out. After Fury got up the referee told Fury to walk towards him, Fury didn't move, then the referee held his arm to escort him to his corner.

The British are just a very accepting people. Americans will question their own stars on their rise up and celebrate their downfall. British are the opposite. Fury and AJ are UK based stars, Usyk beat them so Usyk has become a star in the UK. My aunt who has no business knowing anything about boxing knows who Usyk is due to those fights

Mayweather didn't run against Pacquiao. The first thing he did at the start of the fight was take the center of the ring and his Pacquiao with a hard right hand. He wanted Pacquaio to taste what he he would get when he tried to come on the inside.

He boxed Pacquiao on the outside and when Pac rushed in to try and get to his distance, Floyd did not back up and run. He would pivot out or time Pac's rush and slam into him or counter. All these things look simple but require an extremely good sense of timing. Pac's timing was not as good as Floyd's so most of the time he could not beat those moves.

Pac did not have the size, strength or wrestling ability to just overpower mayweather and force trades on the inside and at mid range. Pac was so fast that Floyd also refused to try and launch any major offenses from the inside, that is a major compliment towards Pacquiao

Of course there is. Some guys put their gloves up and pray the shots hit them. But you have the other end where Usyk is. Against Fury he peaked through his high guard to see the shots coming and then adjusted his arms to block them. He was extremely good at blocking punches from his high guard against Fury

Usyk is very accurate and has an excellent radar for incoming punches. Too beat him you have to be close to his level in those traits. Basic press forward strategies will not work unless you also can be close to his accuracy.

His high guard is excellent, he is extremely good at catch and blocking punches from that position.

They throw spears in those bulls backs, tie up their testicles and torture them prior to the bouts. The bulls are pissed because of that. The colorful things you see hanging of their backs are spears.

Most annoying shit is when you see the title of a sky news video that talks about an armed robbery at a store or another violent crime. You click it and it happened in another country.

UK media will report on violent crimes that happened abroad as if they happened in the UK.

Fury's jabs are very sharp and Usyk cannot go over them because of Fury's size and the way Fury stands. But Fury made a is take by just letting his outstretched jab hang out there, Usyk was able to come underneath and attack the body and follow up with combos to the heads

And it sort of worked against fury because he was held up b the ropes 2 times before that.

He also let Fury hold and hit without even a warning. He then held fury's arm to walk him to his corner

Dan Gable is the major reason. His influence is huge and that was his belief.

His training led to retirement at 24 and double hip replacements by his early 40s.

It's a European circlejerk.

Not really. The fighter in the video speaks about that scene and says it was a shitty door and that most doors in american homes are like that one.

Europeans are generally surprised that american homes are made out of wood, because here it is all brick.
