Ofcourse I know.Tall falls down harder when they get hit.
There was a Tall Pro Boxer 10 years boxing, and I was 2 months Boxer in Chicago.He was Extremely fast and 6,5".I am around 5.8"
The guy had a Pro fight coming up a week later.
In the Gym it was only me and him that day.And I said to him man a fight coming up,and no one here to sparr you.
The smart ass turns on me and says Hey Drago, as was my nick name due to my huge power on left hooks,why he said do you want to sparr me???I turned and Said listen man I just said that there is no one here to sparr you.That is all.I am two months Boxer, but now you really pisse me off I said and let me tell what I will do.
Tomorrow I said I will Bring my Wife with me with the video camera
to see you how fast you will fall when I hit you with a left hook.
He laughted as he thought I was kidding.
Next day the Gym was packed as everyone found out what was to take place.Ron Amundsen was there,USBA Junior middle weight Champ,and I was one of his Sparring partners.When I was hitting Ron with a left hook, he was feeling it all the way down his knees.He used to tell me this=Drago you are not far behind me.
Ron fought Both James Toney, and Roy Jones BTW.While he lost to both.He was a Great boxer.
Also when I was one month Boxer the first Guy I sparred was Tony Larossa.He was once Heavy weight Champ too.Fought James Buster Dougles.Well Tony Larossa tested a Straight right from me and the Blood hit the ceiling and could not stop.
Back to the Tall guy.I got with wife and the video Camera.
Gym Packed.He got butter flies when he saw me with video camera and Wife.I walked by him and looked at him and said=Bud when you get hit with my left hook you will kiss the Canvas, and you will be lucky if you get up.We enter the ring.As soon as we start he comes with double jab right hand, and I through a left hook wide one right on the button.Guess what??He was flat on the canvas, and the Gym froze.The Trainer Gets in the ring, curses the crap out of him, and letts him to either get up,and fight or leave the gym and never come back.He gets up,and comes to me with a fast left Job and a right hand, and hits right on push me on the ropes.
I get pissed off and fake a left hook again and hit him with a right hook.The Result??He hits the Canvas and three people we took him to the Chair.Had him there for about 30 minutes and he did not know where he was.I think later I found out,his neck got FD up,and went to the Hospital.To my knowledge he never boxed again.Nor did I ever see him again in the Gym.
The whole place was in disbelieve.Though Ron Amundsen was not surprised.Tall means nothing.
I just wished I started Boxing when in my early 20s.I did a couple months Ralph Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Seattle.I loved it.
If I was still there I would have been BB now.As a white belt I was sparring Blue and Purple belts one after another.
My grips were deadly.And the Choke hold a nightmare.
Pissed off I did not continue,but I had to move from Seattle so I left the BBJ.Then I wnet in Naples Florida I started for a couple of days and choked out two blue belts, and never went back.
All my Jiu-Jitsu was two months or maybe three all together.
If you are a natural athlete you pick up things fast.
Though been a bodybuilder and had natural strenght helped.
The best Sparring or fights I ever had was in Greece.
Beat up three guys in Boxing.One after another.A black belt kick boxer,a brown belt tall dude,and a guy that used to box for fun.
The beating they took to this day, they talk about it here in my home town.lol.The reason the fights took place was because the brown belt tall dude 6.4" came to the beach while I was swiming with my wife, and provoke me to Box with him.My then EX turns looks at him and said.Fella are you sure??Takis is sparring the Champs in Chicago,and you want to box him??lol.
I was in an all night fishing trip with my brother that night,and two guys showed up on my door in the morning while I came from fishing,and said come on we came to take you to fight.I said Holy $hit???I just came from all night fishing.Come on they replied with the excuses.I right away went upstairs took my Boxing stuff looked at my wife and told her that these Guys were about to take the beating of their life.And as such one after another in the Gym of the Black belt.They were falling down like chickens.
The guy that used to Box 230 Lbs was first.He got hit with a left hook,and 4 guys needed to sit him down.He was eating soups for 30 days he said becasue he could not open up his jaw.lol
The brown Belt took the biggest beating from liver to the head name it.The black Belt kick Boxer that was national Champ at one time, put his arms up to block me??lol.He fell down on canvas while I hit him on his arms.Tried to get up again and fell again.
The next day the whole Town found out.To this day they begged me to open a Boxing Gym.And everytime they see me talk about the beating they took.lol.
Again Tall oponents mean nothing.Especially in Boxing.
How many Tall threes did the short Mike Tyson choped??lol.
