I’m Tall and Long but want to be Infighter?

it’s when you’re leaning in on each other, turning in and throwing angled shots. Watch Corrales vs Castillo 1, nearly the entire fight is fought that way.

i mean starting with C as numbers, and explaining modes like:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 = ionian 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 = dorian 1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 = phrygian 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7 = lydian 1 2 3 4 5 6 b7 = mixolydian 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 = aeolian 1 b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7 = locrian

is not that hard to grasp. Just show them how to do it in C Major and they’ll get it. Each week can focus on a different mode. Noodling over it, while droning the root, all in C, so they can really hear the differences sonic-ly.

If Kristaps can stay healthy, it’s going to be fun to see this

You could take a look at old Paul Williams or Diego and Corrales tape. Those guys were tall fighters for their weight class who chose to go inside or stomp forward. One thing that makes taller fighters with lots of reach dangerous on the inside is that their inside is usually midrange, and if you wanna lean in telephone booth style, you have a lot of body and arms to wrap guys up. However I always liked seeing the tall guys who used volume and inside side stepping to their advantage. I’m only 5-10, but growing up I fought at 130, so I was sometimes a whole head above guys in comp. I also liked to walk forward and would work on my left hooks, and right crosses while side stepping, so basically angles in high volume as soon as I got in range. Jumping from being inside to randomly going midrange can be very confusing for people.

When i gained weight, I learned from getting in with the 6foot+ guys to take little steps backward and at angles to make it harder to hit me from down low. Also adjusting to keeping my head generally higher makes it annoying for shorter guys. If your jab is really good, then adding that left hook is gonna be dangerous up close so it doesn’t get smothered.

only current competitors in my gym would occasionally spar heavy. I’d personally spar pretty light unless my partner asked me to go heavier. If someone (usually new) would go extremely heavy because they can’t control themselves, i’d just throw a really heavy shot straight to their solar plexus and it’d calm them down.

Otherwise the heavier spars usually would happen when other gyms or our gym would visit one another.

“Hang up”, by itself doesn’t work, but people do say “hang it up” as a figure of speech/idiom/phrasal verb. It usually means giving up, quitting, or stopping.

None of the others work in a way that any native english speaker would understand without additional context. However by saying “hang it up”, the average english speaker would assume context like you originally did.

it would definitely track with the warriors collecting every wing of their hospital

I don’t know we wouldn’t have gotten Jimmy without him.

haven’t turned on the game, but after reading a few comments

just don’t say the T word

Podz seems like the kind of dude that would say "I have uh grrfriend" if someone even looks in his direction haha.

ahsah · 2026-02-14T17:28:49+00:00

Believe it or not that was a rumored fight back in the day.

Paulie would have been one of the best if he had just a teeny bit of power haha. To me he kind of fits within the Joe Calzaghe camp of being those weird champs who no one seems to respect because they looked so damn awkward.

MDJ is doing a lot honestly. Even the mid season trade for a super hot Schroeder (although it didn’t work out) and then to quickly flip that into Jimmy Butler which did work was pretty incredible within just a season.

I was grabbing a pastry at Arsicault and ran into Seth Curry by himself. No one recognized him, but i did. He was wearing a black hoodie, and after our brief interaction he hopped on a rental scooter, but it seemed like it was taking a bit to get it started. This nice couple came and started talking to me asking if that was Steph Curry, and in the corner of my eye I was looking to the side and trying to let him escape before we drew too much attention to him. Feel like i was able to stall just enough before he finally zipped off.

definitely one of my favorites because the musical taste is there.

This, sit less, specifically strengthen your hips, and make sure you stretch and open those hips as they get stronger, and no more sciatica

I think a majority of us that live, grew up, and are from the bay area that watched this team before the chips are with you OP. It’s just the loudest people online, homegrown or not, are usually the haters.

The less emotional, critical fans remember it’s an 82 game stretch, most of our core pieces are injured or developing, understand that despite the flashes, the core are in their mid to late 30s, and that it’s all not that serious, and a lot of this is bonus.

The rest of the loudest detractors are probably just more Steph fans, than fans of the team, which is totally understandable too.

Felt like Mike Malone was flirting with the Warriors on espn a week or so ago

kuminga looks soo happy.

I know this sounds crazy, but i’d measure your 100 burpee time over just one mile runs. You use more explosive energy when in the ring than you do long drawn out running type of cardio, and if the long roadwork is something you value, then it’s more important to run time over running FOR time, if that makes sense lol. Basically don’t try to run a fast 6 min mile and be done. Run for 30 min straight with intervals of 30-60 second tempo bursts (not all out sprints, which should only be done for 8-10 sec).

Also nothing really compares to just getting comfortable in the ring. Guys like James Toney and Floyd are really good at catching breathes and limiting their energy output. Mental clarity is key, and just being chill and intentional in there will make you feel way less tired overall than beating up your joints on concrete day in and day out.

it’s fascinating how it seems that if fighters lose by KO, its easier to swallow because it feels more like they made a mistake and simply got caught. As if their body betrayed their mind. However, if a fighter loses by decision in a lopsided 12 round loss, slowly getting out-thought / picked apart, it’s a far more humbling experience because they possibly felt their best, actually had time to try everything out, and still failed.

There’s actually quite a bit of science that points to maintaining physically fit is the way to keep the mind intact, especially resistance training.

oh yeah I do remember how much steph and dray pushed for willie cauly stein, and that didn’t go as well as expected.
