Did anyone catch the Spence vs. Garcia fight this past Saturday? Spence surgically dissected Garcia and quieted folks who questioned his boxing IQ. I’m going to review this video again to watch Spence’s footwork. 😎

This is boxing, limited to hands only. While boxing does have its high-points, we want to focus on Afrikan Warrior Traditions, mindset and fighting

Watch the fight and you’ll see the Afrikan Warrior Tradition and mindset in Errol Spence’s fighting style. Errol is a bad brotha….. 😎

Khandeka and Dambe are continental hand-arts too. Boxing as it exists now is based on an Afrikan paradigm introduced by pioneers like Bill Richmond. Before him, boxing was standing in front of each other without moving while exchanging blows until someone falls without being able to get up within 30 seconds.

He used the same guerrilla warfare principle employed in Kipura (Capoeira) and every Afrikan fighting art I know: attack without being attacked (as a subset of doing the appropriate thing at the appropriate time).-

@Tenkamenin, oh, I did end up checking the fight. Truly a master class from Spence. Who you got if/when Spence and Crawford meet?
-
Great matchup, but I’m going to give it to Spence by decision. Who you got?

Crawford if it goes the distance. Spence if it ends by stoppage.
