Gervonta “Tank” Davis was arrested and booked Wednesday, Jan. 28 on charges of attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment and battery, according to records with the Miami-Dade County, Florida Clerk of Court and Corrections and Rehabilation Department.

Davis, 31, was being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to the records. The action against boxer stems from a woman saying Davis attacked her while she was working at Tootsie’s Cabaret strip club Oct. 27 in Miami Gardens.

How will they resist?

I was pissing blood so had to take a month off hard training (docs said no vigourous exercise; the issue wasn’t just contact), spent it shadowboxing and developing my hips, especially doing this to get better at holding my feet in the air. I do it throughout the day whenever I have a few seconds:

I did something really clever in boxing yesterday but I forget exactly what it was. I read the boy and thought “if I do this then this then this, I can probably land over his left shoulder”. Maybe it was jab, right-step, right-cross. Satisfying when a plan works perfectly.

Working on a mentally relaxed state-of-mind. Sometimes I have it and sometimes I don’t, but when I am in the right state, I can see a combo coming and stay in a small defensive position and defend a whole combo with a series of small movements. Also generally trying to move less, not over-react, just tiny movements are fine.

Adam Fugitt vs. Ty Miller – Good fight

Nikita Krylov vs. Modestas Bukauskas – Good fight

I’ve never seen Ateba Gautier fight before, he’s phenomenal.

Shotgun to be specific

Start

He’s on his phone and gets sucker-punched, so you can’t fault him for the first stumble. Watch his right ankle; it’s all wrong; if he’d taken a proper step back with his right foot he wouldn’t’ve fallen, but that’s the element of surprise. The attacker wastes the element f surprise by not delivering a decisive blow to the head, instead doing a sort of push:

He stands up

The way he fell means he stands up with his left foot forward, but he gets his right foot back quickly enough. Moreover, look at how he gets his chin/head into position; his hands aren’t in guard but that’s ok from that distance because he uses head-movement. The punch he evades is slow because the attacker switches stances (starts the punch right foot behind, ends it right foot in front), and also because he winds it up massively:

Watch the waiter’s right leg here, how he loads it

☝️The attacker continues to switch stances: right-forward, left-forward☝️

Look at the waiter’s left foot: tiny step to the left to add power to the right hook.

Right hook

Best thing about this is the target-selection, aimed at the jaw/chin (and also the loaded leg and step we just looked at):

Slip, slip, roll, counter

He slips left, slips right; the attacker hesitates/freezes for a moment under cognitive load; should have thrown a knee. He sees the attacker loading up a slow right and rolls under it (keeps his left hand in a defensive position as he rolls left), countering again to the same target:

Yesterday I tomoenage’d a guy who’d represented Poland at the national level. 😀

I need to drill out a bad defensive habit caused by boxing gloves: shelling up in defense with the hands resting on the face. Works great with boxing gloves, but boxing ≠ fighting.

Having said that, my striking defenses have really improved in the past month. I frequently see entire combos coming and go block-block-block with no panic no hurry.

I sparred a huge bodybuilder boy recently, enormous biceps, showy muscles. Pretty quick, I realized his feet were much slower than mine. Proud I got that read. And I made good use of it, kept sniping him with combos and getting out quickly. Basically the cliché lumbering muscle-bound giant he was.

Working on getting to the anaconda choke when boys are turtling. PS: like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOlOmHRDyLY

Pettis v Magomedov was insane if you can get a replay.

All mythology is public domain

Here’s Shadow’s fatal mistake; look at his chin —

Ken Norton noticed that Ali’s pec twitched before jabbing.

That’s élite reading.

Canelo looked visibly frustrated in the last three.

Bud’s robbed if the judges don’t give him the shout.

Looks like the upset is on the cards after 8 rounds.

I know everyone loves Canelo, but I’m kinda up for Crawford just for the underdog story. If he pulls this off…

Can’t RSS bots do this?

It’s not about hiding secrets from everyone.

It’s about not authorising the military-industrial complex to have that unjust power over us.
