Championship Fighting details the author’s title-winning fight against Jess Willard in 1919 and introduces a theory of boxing: explosive body weight is the single most important weapon. Dempsey will go on to demonstrate how to incorporate the concept into every type of punch.

A.M. Arrive home. Take a brief sweat-out and shower. Have breakfast of fruit juice, cereal, eggs and milk or tea. Just recently, my good pal and fellow historian, Mike Hunnicut, sent me a teasing little message. Said Mike: “The story goes, although I can’t confirm it, that Battling Nelson would shadow box for 40 rounds with a pair of 10lb dumbbells.”Dempsey was a Freemason and member of Kenwood Lodge #800 in Chicago, Illinois. [60] [61] [62] [63] Death [ edit ] They don’t make ‘em like that anymore. How many times have we heard that age-old adage?

Those fellas from days gone by had to fight a far greater number of battles, the old sages will tell you. They had to be tougher because the competition was so much greater and far more intense. They had to fight over longer distances with lighter gloves and often suffer terrible punishment. By God, laddie, they didn’t stop a fight if you got a nose bleed in those days! i see few boxers with massive pecs. the only ones i can think of are journy men and roy jones when he went up to HW. most have a very lean look. despite what people insist on, pretty much all top boxers stregth train and most train with wieghts. they dont do 8 sets of chest like a meathead but beleive that they do practical compound exercises with dumbells.The simple and sagely advice of Nat Fleischer continues to ring out from his little treasure of a boxing manual. “There’s plenty of room for good boxers in this world of ours, and if you start right in with the idea that you’re going to get somewhere, you’ll succeed. After the world-famous Louis-Schmeling fight, Dempsey stated he was glad he never had to face Joe Louis in the ring; when Louis eventually fell on hard times financially, Dempsey served as honorary chairman of a relief fund to assist him. [3] Mike Hunnicut had some wonderful conversations with Ray Arcel on this subject, and here is some of what Ray told him: “Fighters for a long time spent a lot of time in the gym after their roadwork, at least until dinner time. In more recent years, there has been much less time and effort and preparation on a daily basis. Born William Harrison Dempsey in Manassa, Colorado in 1895, he grew up in Colorado and West Virginia.

Deforest himself said that he regarded the stories of Dempsey's gloves being loaded as libel, calling them "trash", and said he did not apply any foreign substance to them, "which I can verify since I watched the taping." [33] Sports writer Red Smith, in Dempsey's obituary published by The New York Times was openly dismissive of the claim. [34] Jeffries gave himself five months to train for his championship winning match against Bob Fitzsimmons and did so meticulously. Jeff’s physical and nutritional preparations for that historic battle were a telling reflection of his precise and organised mind. McCusker, J. J. (1997). How Much Is That in Real Money?

The Boxing section on Sherdog has always seemed uncommonly knowledgeable to me (although I haven't contributed much to it since the glory days of Kid McCoy), so my question for you savants is how did these old-timers train? Were their methods significantly different from modern methods, and do you think they did anything particularly well? Is it true, as I've heard some old salts suggest, that contemporary fighters only look more "buff" because the sorts of exercises they do focus less exclusively on functional strength than the ones the old-timers did? Or does this belong in the same category as the mythology surrounding kettlebells?
