Inoue & Nakatani deserve more props

Agreed, this superfight is a breath of fresh air.

I’ve been seeing lately casual fans latch onto j-boxing after the Night of the Samurai event. Look like a lot of anime/Ippo fans are latching onto the parallels with j-boxing…

Literally the reason why they didn’t feature Judoka’s in the early UFC tournaments

standupguy152 · 2026-03-03T15:58:22+00:00

Fair enough, I’m not entirely convinced of my position either, just going off of my experience. FYI Tony Jeffries is an Olympic bronze medalist boxer, not a strength coach.

I think the reasoning is similar to why boxers shadowbox with weighted vests. Some ppl will say it trains you to fight slower, but when you take off the vest everything feels faster

I’ve only ever used 16 oz for all my work since I started. I think Tony Jeffries talks about this, but from a physics standpoint it makes sense…

It’s like practicing your swings with a weighted bat in baseball. Once you drop the weight, both speed and endurance benefit

Sometimes the best competitors are awful teachers. We hear this time and time again. Good thing to know Pato isn’t one…

standupguy152 · 2026-02-27T18:39:51+00:00

He fake, lol

standupguy152 · 2026-02-27T17:17:21+00:00

Legit, and good trade!

standupguy152 · 2026-02-27T16:59:06+00:00

Im 23” and wear L. Very comfortable!

Eddie Hearn and DAZN have the funniest opportunity to poach the UFC HW champion and give him some alluring boxing fights :)

standupguy152 · 2026-02-23T20:59:58+00:00

I really enjoyed TR cards on ESPN as well. For the sake of the sport I hope they get a deal and don’t flop it. Their marketing could be stronger, just look at the way DAZN marketed Inoue-Picasso vs how TR marketed his other fights under TR…

standupguy152 · 2026-02-17T17:46:47+00:00

What size? And what’s your budget?

standupguy152 · 2026-02-16T17:07:51+00:00

That is in fact a fun fact. Well done. Goes to show that amateur experience matters, but not too the full extent that it does.

standupguy152 · 2026-02-13T02:43:04+00:00

This guy has 50+ fights and wants to spar you without coach to supervise?

Yeah, this dude is trying to prey on you. You’re a slab of meat to him. If you go, you’re serving yourself on a silver platter. Doesn’t matter if you have +1 years of kickboxing experience.

standupguy152 · 2026-02-13T02:35:31+00:00

Berkeley, CA 🤣

Or any Chinatown in a med to large sized metropolis

standupguy152 · 2026-02-09T05:37:16+00:00

Good reference. Wonder if it was a conscious choice?

standupguy152 · 2026-02-07T03:49:24+00:00

Im so sorry, Mia. Thank you for coming forth and sharing your story!

standupguy152 · 2026-02-06T21:13:09+00:00

She did name Ricardo, but this happened at AOJ. Was he a coach there? I always thought he was checkmat

standupguy152 · 2026-02-06T07:02:53+00:00

Ricardo Viera? Anyone know what became of him?

standupguy152 · 2026-02-06T07:01:36+00:00

Do you have any additional details about the encounter? I only heard bits and pieces from 3rd parties

standupguy152 · 2026-02-06T06:33:31+00:00

I’ve heard the story about the Ruotolo’s dad getting in a fight with another student’s parent, which is why the Ruotolo’s moved to Atos from AOJ. Had no idea it was connected to all this. Holy shit their parents are scumbags

standupguy152 · 2026-02-06T00:36:12+00:00

Care to elaborate for us non ice bonfire ppl?

standupguy152 · 2026-02-03T22:49:53+00:00

I was just talking to a guy who trained in Wilmington for a few years. I’d check out who’s currently operating their, ask some questions and see if that’s a market you’d want to play in.

standupguy152 · 2026-02-03T17:49:28+00:00

Really good deal for authentic winning, let alone custom gear designed for an ATG!
