Adjectives are hard to understand, apparently.
He was in a bad spot, if he just said no comment or the lawyer said no statement at this time, the speculation would be in full gearNot sure why she's so hung up on his wording of saying "fortunate bounce", he was just saying luckily he wasn't coincidentally in the room but he was probably better off not saying anything to avoid the pitchfork and torch mob over every little detail like we get on here
When you've been coaching and participating in boxing for as long as I have, the answer to that is neither can stop a bullet and the percentage of either of them being able to actually fight is about equal. If you really think a masculine alpha guy is going to tell any of the women in my boxing club he's going to protect them, you will be rightfully laughed out of the gym.
even Tyson Fury or Ngannou?
Right? I want the dude who is trained in combat, not the guy who puffs out his chest and talks shit about gay people and slaps girls asses in the hallway. At this point you have to just presume that folks are willfully not getting it.
Those are trained fighters. Not some mythical alpha chads. And I'm sure you see a lot of things on the internet. Almost every day I see a trained professional boxers spar with each other regardless of their biological sex. So, quite often, men and women spar against each other. Iron sharpens iron. With the right level of discipline and commitment, anyone can do it.
One of my favorite things is the occasional "alpha male" coming to their first session and handing them a bucket an hour later knowing they just paid for a full month and I'll never see them again.
boxing training is no joke, I never "trained" per say but I spent a ton of time messing around in the gym. 1 of my best friends' fathers won a boxing medal at the Commonwealth Games in the 80's he, his brother and father used to train kids in my area
The money's all the same to me. Whatever theater he has to do to put a little more money in Dana White's pocket isn't my problem. We have a few UFC guys that do come through but we do strictly boxing.
it was meant as a joke because he said he wanted a trained fighter rather than a guy who tlks shit and smacks asses lol
Training is miserable. Most of that is doing the stuff that everyone hates and doing it over and over and over and over every single day. I've done a few other sports including hockey. Nothing compares to training for boxing. Not even close. If someone wants to be taken seriously by the coaches, they need to run every single day. Our warmups are 15-20 minutes of skipping. You're not getting in a ring or putting on gloves until you get there. The person we put the most work into whose already been a champ skips for almost 2 hours in a sauna suit to warmup if he's in camp. It's gross almost all the time. I love it.
The guy I replied to listed a bunch of revolting, humiliating acts. Sadism may not be a totally accurate description for them. However, masculinity certainly isn't.
did you ever run drills like this?
its all entertainment for the new guy that stumbles across this thread in a cpl years lol
You know who's the biggest critic of the idea of alphas and betas? The guy who presented the paper on it and coined the terms. Everybody I've met that feels the need to label themselves as an "alpha" are the most insecure people I've ever known and are dog shit the moment things get tough.
It is literally called - and an article and study about - toxic masculinity. Like many other studies and articles, and like the experiences that unfortunately far far too many people have experienced.
well yea, real alpacas are only really found in times of crisis.
if you have seen anything relevant in the last 30 pages let me know?
well it would appear that article has a planned narrative if they are trying to associate sadism with any form of masculinity
