Imagine being a pro boxer with a record of 33-18 and only being remembered as a guy with one glove who tapped to mount
>>188654I don't know If BJJ/UFC kinda killed that 80s "warrior spirit" (being a boxer/karateka) or just make it evolve.
>>188654I haven't been able to get a straight answer, just how good was Art Jimmerson, really? Was he a legit contender in his day, or was he a jobber/journeyman? And specifically, where would he be ranked in '93?
>>188680He was a nobodyhttps://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/2044Won one two star fight in the 80s, that's it
>>188654Just going off wikipedia, the had a pretty good record up until 1994Then again, the only opponents of his who have their own wikipedia page (meaning they're in any way notable) he lost against
>>188655The sort of people who would have done karate back in the day now do MMA/BJJ. >>188654Most pro boxers aren't remembered at all.
Why did he wear the left glove? Doesn't the right hand need more protection?
That's a dogshit w/l by boxing standards.
>>188699>using the boxrec star ratingare you retarded or just an idiot
>>188764I believe Art was a southpaw. So he wanted to protect his better punching hand
>>188957Why is boxrec bad?
>>188654I don't get his defeat, even average boxers have the fastest hands, their close distance it's a death zone so Royce should have been knocked instantly, Or that's a 80s myth?
>>191182If Royce approached him with head up and hands down, he would get knocked out but instead he lowered his level and grabbed his legs so it's not so shrimple. This is not the level where boxers usually punch and even if he hit Royce, he would most likely hit the top of his head and not do shit.
>>191182A boxer doesn't hard-counter a grappler in punching range this isn't pokemon bro
>>188654Art Jimmerson wasn’t a notable boxer at all. He never won against anyone notable. Only few people fought in the early UFC so it makes sense.
