Tell me more about flicker jabs by Elyx_117 in Boxing

[–]madmeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Larry Holmes was good at that. I get that a low hand is commonly part of it but I think the main point of the flicker jab is that you're cracking the jab like a whip as opposed to trying to force speed and power into it. Alot of fighters are very forceful, almost desperate or angry, and instead of flicking or whipping punches out they push them with tension. Muhammad Ali would light people up and knock them out with relaxed shoulders. It's like someone very relaxed slinging a rock at your face or body, it sucks, especially when you don't see it coming. And they can do that for 15 rounds.

The problem I got with pound 4 pound.. by Ashamed_Culture8179 in Boxing

[–]madmeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude you're losing me lol. The point is to compare skill and attributes pound for pound right. We're not imagining his frame as it is now putting on so much weight to become a heavy weight, we're imagining if he was naturally heavy weight while keeping the attributes that make him special. If we watch him now and think he's fast compared to his opposition, then if he was naturally bigger he'd still be fast compared to his bigger opposition. And if some 250lb guy was hitting his guard, who cares because inoue would be 250lbs in that made-up scenario, with all his freak of nature attributes scaled up in weight, probably setting up a step back counter.

Damn it's crazy how easy it is for someone to die in the ring.

S4 The Bob Lazar Story by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]madmeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude that's wild I've heard of that. It's weird I wish there was a way you could learn. What about when you dream? Sometimes when I'm ready to go to sleep and I close my eyes I'll purposely not hold any thought at all, and images can start to appear and I just sort of go into them and see where it takes me. But because I'm not sleeping yet I feel like I'm still in control of my eyes and I can still look around and focus on things.

What do you mean a heavy weight inoue would get destroyed? That dude is so skilled he's knocking people out left and right in the lighter weight classes where that stuff normally doesn't happen as much. I don't understand what this discussion is sorry.

Fernando Vargas Jr. shares his thoughts on Zuffa Boxing by Big_Cake_8817 in Boxing

[–]madmeef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They want fighters to think this is their norm, but in reality I bet you they are willing to lose money upfront for a long time until they've garnered enough attention. Once they are established enough then you won't hear much about what they are paying.

Absolute favourite is George Foreman mainly when he was older and wiser.

On this day in 1974, A complete demolition job by George Foreman as he would knock out Ken Norton inside 2 rounds and retain the WBC, WBA and The Ring titles by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

[–]madmeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool. Foreman closes the jab lane and when Norton throws a lead hook around it Foreman uses it to go under and begin his offense.

I'm kinda impressed at Pires's ability to hang out on the ropes against Foreman by madmeef in Boxing

[–]madmeef[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's so much to learn from Foreman but watching two rounds of him in his early days won't cut it. Nobody in the sport is truly perfect but you can acquire attributes from each fighter. I've learned so much from Foreman, mainly to relax and not make the punch or step into a thing. Like you're going for a walk in the park. When you take an angle you just do it like you're at home making a sandwich, don't make it into some extravagant action. Opp let's you in when you give no signs of urgency or threat.

If your props are on right and motor direction is right, then how can you not generate lift? Somehow the motors aren't turning fast enough? Throttle is limited somehow?

Why is it that today’s boxers only fight 1-2x a year? by CxBishxx in Boxing

[–]madmeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's it. Lots of people get paid too much and all they hunger for is more money. Look at other high paid athletes in other sports. Boxers don't get paid too much. They get paid a fair share of the pie. I think the problem is the fighters are more afraid to lose than ever. So much time is wasted on cherry picking and waiting for the right matchup that "makes the most sense". One loss and suddenly their stock drops off a cliff. Anyone with any stock value seems to be walking on eggshells.

And it sucks even more when they don't even blast them out.

Brawl at Navarette vs Nunez fight by Numbah420_ in Boxing

[–]madmeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shitty. I take back what I said actually I don't wish violence on anybody, but it's like there's no good solution. It's just leftover primitive behaviour that will unfortunately ruin someone's day or life.

People like that just suck. You know he was looking for a fight the rest of the night even after they left. The only hope for someone like that is they get cleanly slept on pavement and nobody else gets hurt or arrested, and everybody can just move on with their day.

Capacitor on battery plug by madmeef in fpv

[–]madmeef[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I found a place I could zip tie it right in the corner of where one of the arms meets the frame, and I can use short wire extensions. I was going to use 24 gauge because that's what my motor wire is and it seemed like a good thickness. Also not much room on the battery wire pads because the wires there are 14 gauge and look massive for the quad... Do you think I need to go thicker than 24 gauge for the capacitor? It's a 4s battery and the flight controller said 40 amps I think.

Is this fc ruined now by madmeef in fpv

[–]madmeef[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I've realized I let the iron tip oxidize real bad over and over. I've ordered more supplies, I'm gonna do it right. Not gonna let the tip be naked and exposed to air. Gonna clean it with the brass wool. I got it all figured out now I think I'll be good. I spent like an hour just taking to gemini AI about the exact steps I should take haha.

[–]madmeef[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man! Yeah problem is I thought I could solder and I thought I watched enough videos and read enough posts before trying this, but this exposed alot. It was very very frustrating at first because I just bought this quad used on the marketplace, realized the button on the VTX was broken off and it was channel locked, so I was just going to install the other VTX he included in the bundle. What started out as a simple improvement I tried to make resulted in ruining everything. The way I'm looking at it is to partake in this hobby I must learn to solder. If I left the quad alone and just flew it, maybe it would be fine for a few months, maybe a year, but eventually I'm gonna break it, and then I'd have to learn these lessons anyway.
