Woah your jabs have significantly improved from your last match Robert.
Thank you Coach, my previous opponent Ryley Roth had short arms and yet he could aim and connect so far from his reach by stepping in it was an experience to have fought such a fighter.
You are certainly the correct despite his reach disadvantage he gave you your best bout thus far. Stay focussed the road to greatness will only get harder from now on stop relying too much on your right hook and fully utilize your jab.
Yes "head nod" "Robert continues punching the sandbag".
Robert Fischer a Welter Weight boxer with a record of 8 wins 0 loss and 1 draw in short, 8/0/1. He started boxing at 15 years old he is currently 22 ½ he showed talent, passion, drive to become the best he could. running, rope skipping, puching sandbag, mitt training, sparring, shadow boxing and showering he did all of these exercises each and every day from day one increasing his pace by 10% each month on top of that regulated diet and mandatory sleep were his only priorities in life for more than 6 years.
"Giovanni enters the gym to see his son's progress" "Robert was sparring with a great pressure fighter who showed no hesitation in charging head on".
Hit him in the jaw knock him down Charley.
But isn't it a sparring match Coach Sam?
Hm I purposefully invited this fighter and coach to spar with Robert as his boxer is aggressive and ruthless but most importantly has a habit of giving everything he got in a fight whether it's friendly or not just like his upcomming opponent.
You mean Julius Schulz the EBU welter weight champion.
Yes but in order to beat him 'he' has to win againt Charley.
"Punch" "punch" "punch " we both are exchanging blows but because of the tight guard and headgear those blows are having little to no effect oh I forgot I need to create distance and use my long jab.
"Robert leaps back and starts a barage of jabs".
That's it keep him at a distance he won't be able to close in on you.
Agrrr this can't be it so what he has long jabs I have better weaving and bobbing ability you will be shocked on how well I dodge these predictable jabs.
1, 2, 3, 4, I'm getting a really good rhythm you are probably waiting for the round to end hehe but the end of it atleast one of my jabs will sneak through your guard and land straight on your face.
Left right left middle now! "Charley weaves dodging the jab and dashing into Robert's open guard".
What? I missed fuck!
Oh no! having long arms is posing a huge problem in retracting and guarding at the same time will I make it or him?
No I won't be able to he is coming right for my chin.
Robert! Your right chopping right.
Coach so what if I can't bring back my left my right is right here waiting for him to come to me he's here "shooo" "BAM".
The "Chopping Right" hits Charley straight in the temple resulting in him falling to the canvas.
Charley! "His trainer rushes in the ring the way he fell seemed to be deadly" he is unconscious thank god he was saved by the head gear.
"Charley's coach looks at Robert" So powerful you knocked him out with a single right?
He just came into the punch if he had stayed crouched he would not have gone unconscious well done Rob it was a very educational sparring session thank you.

That's right Rob put your leg out and rotate your hip and then punch while also rotating your arm.
Like this? putting your hip and then my left hand punch "jab".
Uuugh Papa I'm right handed I can't throw a punch with my left hand isn't there a punch you can throw with your right hand without moving your body.
There is.
Really? "Robert gets excited" teach me please.
Listen carefully when my palm gets in your striking range pull your right over your shoulder and extend your punch as fast as possible ok?
Hmm ok.
Now "Thum" eeegh! "Giovanni flicks his arm to reduce pain" hehehe.
Papa why are you laughing I hit the punch and it hurt you?
The previous punches were just your stubbornness this is your true nature your power your potential.
Potential in what? I don't quite understand what you are saying.
Rob you have the potential to become the Europian champ no, you can even dream to reach for the world.
Champ? I can be a world champion?
Yes with hardwork and dedication you can certainly become the champion without a doubt.
Hurray! but how do you become a champion?
You'll find out.
__Present__
Chopping right uh it was the first punch my dad taught me even he didn't knew I would grow this much that the power of this punch would increase dramatically.
"Rob takes off his head gear" Thanks for the instructions dad you saved a down.
I see you are in your top condition.
Sir actually Robert has to lose a pound.
What he is over the weight limit?
Hehe sorry I ate a little too much but I think if I take a huge dumb the weight will go down without compromising on my diet.
When is the match going to be?
On 4th October almost 20 days late Sir.
Coach Samuel Jackson you have been a wonderful trainer thus all the success Rob has gain the main reason for that is you so please train him well for the title match.
Sir you don't have to worry you just saw how Robert knocked out a opponent in the same weight class without any problem what so ever he will do the same to the champ you don't have to worry.
"Giovanni leaves the gym and Rob continues his usual training routine".
Robert.
Yes Coach what is it?
Get in the ring.
You wanna do mitt training again? Ok.
"2 minutes of punching mitts Sam tries to close distance and create distance in repetition ".
Just as I though you are having trouble with retracting your arm and with that long jab you are creating more danger than advantage.
"Rob realizes his flaw and angers over it with his eyebrows hugging and teeth grinding".
Frustation will not solve your problem breath in hold for 5 second and release for 5 seconds now think with a cool head what will you do if your jab misses and the opponent takes advantage of your long retractiblity?
I wil use my right.
what if he dodges that too?
Then I will step back.
No! you will be pummelled just think about it with no arms in reach you won't be able to block or hit the charging bull, the bull will send you flying in the ring.
Yes, then what should I do coach?
Learn to jab in a manner that confuses the enemy and breaks their guard both at the same time.
A jab that fits both criteria.
I think I just found the perfect punch.
What is it? tell me quick so I can start mastering it right away.
It's called "Flicker jab".
Flicker jab.
You flick you arm forwards and in a flikering motion send a barrage of jabs with that much speed and power no boxer will be able to in close let alone mid range.
That's all nice and all but how do you do it? "Robert tells Samuel with a confused look".
It's actually quite simple get in a orthodox stance and
and? now what?
Slightly step in extend your arm half way and snap it back.
"Shoof" wow! at the middle it didn't catch much of a momentum but at end it really was fast like fast fast you know.
Don't worry your half way extention will also speed up over time now throw it a 1000 times an hour.
In an hour? what you crazy.
Think aboout it an hour has 3600 seconds and your punch takes around 0.8 miliseconds so you can throw 4500 punches now quit making excuses and start punching.
Ok. but isn't it a bit too fast you know the arm strain, wrist extention injuries and-
It's your own wish you said you wanted to master it didn't you? so it takes around 2000 hours to completely ingrain that skill into your brain so get to it champ.
"Robert felt a huge motivation boost when he heard the title champ referred to him by none other than his own coach".
