Duarte pressure box style

“If the struggle is struggling inside, Duarte will cross the victory. Sims must use his work, he must use his skills. He must use his boxing capacity. He has this ability,” said Tim Bradley. canal. “It can go from SouthPaw to Orthodox.”

The fight will be performed inside, whether SIMS wants it or not. He will stay to keep the contest out, but he can do nothing to prevent Duarte from force him to fight with others than to endure. This will not work because Duarte will not allow it.

“Once a guy like Duarte is going down and trusting, he is very difficult to slow down,” Bradley said. “Duarte begins to hit -and, for some reason, the legs stop working. The punches are so heavy that you have to sit and plant and set -ready for the impact of these shots. Sims will have to overcome duarte.”

He is an 11 -year -old professional and is unable to suffer a whole fight. In addition, the features of the body with which Duarte will hit Sims will be too difficult to take it while moving. To properly obtain these types of fighters, you must stop moving.
