Times change, for better or worse, and of course we should not forget that progress in society has re-shaped the fight game like everything else. Fewer people in the stable nations of the world are starving hungry. Illnesses that once killed people can now be offset with the jab of a doctor’s needle. The standard of living, in general, has vastly improved. On May 31, 1983, Dempsey died of heart failure at the age of 87 in New York City. His body was buried at Southampton Cemetery in Southampton, New York.

This is a pretty thorough explanation of boxing techniques for a beginner or novice. I learned a fair amount. The Boxing section on Sherdog has always seemed uncommonly knowledgeable to me (although I haven't contributed much to it since the glory days of Kid McCoy), so my question for you savants is how did these old-timers train? Were their methods significantly different from modern methods, and do you think they did anything particularly well? Is it true, as I've heard some old salts suggest, that contemporary fighters only look more "buff" because the sorts of exercises they do focus less exclusively on functional strength than the ones the old-timers did? Or does this belong in the same category as the mythology surrounding kettlebells? One of Dempsey's best friends was Judge John Sirica, who presided over the Watergate trials. [56] Legacy [ edit ] He recounted an incident where he was assaulted while walking home at night, telling the press in 1971 that the two young muggers attempted to grab his arms, but he broke free and laid them both out cold on the sidewalk. The story of the encounter appeared in the Hendersonville Times-News, and reported the incident had taken place "a few years [earlier]". [58] Dempsey was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, [11] in 1903 following his eighth birthday, the "age of accountability", according to church doctrine. [12]

i see few boxers with massive pecs. the only ones i can think of are journy men and roy jones when he went up to HW. most have a very lean look. despite what people insist on, pretty much all top boxers stregth train and most train with wieghts. they dont do 8 sets of chest like a meathead but beleive that they do practical compound exercises with dumbells. Pretty good very dated and much fluff but in all clearly written by a man that knows, strange thing is i have trained all my life i'm 47 now and i knew most of this through my own experience, particularly the so called shoulder jolt and the left shovel punch/hook to the body a chin liver, truly and effective secret weapon..to those in the "know" Other reports, however, failed to mention Willard suffered any real injuries. [31] The New York Times ' account of the fight described severe swelling visible on one side of Willard's face, but did not mention any broken bones. [32] A still photograph of Willard following the fight appears to show discoloration and swelling on his face. [27]

McGuinness, James Kevin (March 14, 1925). "A symbol in pugilism". Profiles. The New Yorker. Vol.1, no.4. pp.15–16. Although some techniques are a little dated, specifically the training section the book is fantastic.

Those fellas from days gone by had to fight a far greater number of battles, the old sages will tell you. They had to be tougher because the competition was so much greater and far more intense. They had to fight over longer distances with lighter gloves and often suffer terrible punishment. By God, laddie, they didn’t stop a fight if you got a nose bleed in those days! After the world-famous Louis-Schmeling fight, Dempsey stated he was glad he never had to face Joe Louis in the ring; when Louis eventually fell on hard times financially, Dempsey served as honorary chairman of a relief fund to assist him. [3] Deforest himself said that he regarded the stories of Dempsey's gloves being loaded as libel, calling them "trash", and said he did not apply any foreign substance to them, "which I can verify since I watched the taping." [33] Sports writer Red Smith, in Dempsey's obituary published by The New York Times was openly dismissive of the claim. [34]

This book is a definite must read for any boxing enthusiast. I would also highly recommend it to any and all martial artists, as much of the information can be applied to any fighting style. Sifu Peterson offers a unique and detailed insight into the entire WSL Ving Tsun Kuen Hok method, exploring the forms, concepts, techniques, and drills as taught by the late Sifu Wong Shun Leung.Absolute insistence to follow the rules by those in charge developed an absolute resolution to do so on the part of the fighter. This, in turn, cultivated an absolute will in many cases. So, it seems that an earlier time in our history produced men of greater will and has the advantage here.
