At 38 training against people who'll probably have been fighting years and years he's got no potential. He'll be rubbish against all but the worst pro's I think. | ||

Member 6130, 110 posts | I assume he will destroy everyone as the real trained boxers won't be able to deal with the angles a complete novice will present | ||

He'll be rubbish against all but the worst pro's I think. There was a 28 year old on this site, who met someone who "shown me some basics and within 2 day he's saying i could be british champion in 3-5 years." He took this with a pinch of salt, until he realised "I already have a lot more speed and agility than most heavyweights". And showed just what an expert he was by, some would say controversially, stating, "Anthony Joshua, who just had his first pro fight (against another guy with almost zero technique, whom had somehow managed to beat 8 fighters out of 8 prior - !), looked like he had the punching power of a featherweight, poor defense at best, and a big lack of movement". Seems he was, er, correct about Joshua. Apart from the heavyweight titles of course. Alas, he turned down million pound paydays, because the boxing practice hurt his shoulder and affected his legs recovering after hack squats. If he could have been The Great White (Carpetbagging) Hope - surely Rio is not without a chance? | ||

Squatting isn't doing my back any good. Member 5108, 869 posts SQ 170, BP 125, DL 210505.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | This is only for a TV show anyway. He's not really taking up boxing. As mentioned above, age would be his main barrier if he was seriously thinking of a boxing career. | ||

All people who know their boxing know that unless this is you: https://media.giphy.com/media/2HFBvKS9zmkEw/giphy.gif YOU GOT NO CHANCE. (Even if you catch dropped glasses on the regular - and are faster than your cat) | ||

AMH doesn't have any science backing his theories. Real people pull random stuff from the Internet - or forego actual tuition in favour of dvds - and set impossible time-frames and unrealistic goals. All the while dog whistling towards PED use, before playing dumb when signing up for tested competition. I wonder what Rio's "supplements" are like? | ||
