  • Fighters and Fathers: Managing Masculinity in Contemporary Boxing Cinema
    Fighters and Fathers: Managing Masculinity in Contemporary Boxing Cinema JOSH SOPIARZ In Antoine Fuqua’s film Southpaw (2015), just as Jake Gyllenhaal’s character Billy Hope attempts suicide by crashing his luxury sedan into a tree in the front yard, his ten-year-old daughter, Leila, sends him a text message asking: “Daddy. Where are you?” (00:46:04). Her answer comes seconds later when, upon hearing a crash, she finds her father in a heap concussed and bleeding badly on the white marble floor of their home’s entryway. Upon waking, Billy’s first and only concern is Leila. Hospital workers, in an effort to calm him, tell Billy that Leila is safe “with child services” (00:48:08-00:48:10) This news does not comfort Billy. Instead, upon learning that Leila is in the state’s custody, the former light heavyweight champion of the world, with face bloodied and muscles rippling, makes his most concerted effort to get up and leave—presumably, to find his daughter. Before he can rise, however, a doctor administers a large dose of sedative and the heretofore unrestrainable Billy fades into unconsciousness as the scene ends. Leila’s simple question—“Daddy. Where are you?”—is central not only to Southpaw but is also relevant for most major boxing films of the 21st century.1 This includes Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby (2004), David O. Russell’s The Fighter (2010), Ryan Coogler’s Creed (2015), Jonathan Jakubowic’s Hands of Stone (2016), and Stephen Caple, Jr.’s Creed II (2018). These films establish fighter/trainer relationships as alternatives to otherwise biological or “traditional” father/son relationships.

    1 Name: Wally Thom Born: 1926-06-14 Nationality: United Kingdom Hometown: Birkenhead, Merseyside, United Kingdom Boxing Record: click The digger you dig into the ring record of Birkenhead Wally Thom the more impressive becomes the fight career of a man who must rank very high on the list of Merseyside’s all time boxing greats. As an amateur he was a junior ABA finalist on two occasions, a senior ABA finalist, was to box internationally against Denmark, reaching the finals of the European Championships in Dublin, and also won a Welsh title. As a professional boxer he suffered greatly from cuts around his eyes in the later stages of his career yet he met and beat some of the top fighters in the world. He reigned as the British and Empire welterweight champion and in a professional career lasting from 1949 to 1956 he won 42 of his 54 contests, with 11 defeats – mostly due to cuts -, and one draw. He was one of the most effective southpaws of all time, yet if the old Birkenhead club trainer Tommy Murray would have had his way Wally would have been an orthodox boxer. Wally’s interest in boxing was stirred by his father who bought him a speed ball from a sports shop in Grange road Birkenhead. “ I had great fun with it but had not thought of taking up boxing until one day at school – Tollemache road , Birkenhead – a teacher called for volunteers to represent the school in the Birkenhead boys championship for the Blake cup. I had a go and won through to the event at Byrne Avenue Swimming Baths, Birkenhead, only to be declared half a stone under the weight required”.

  • The Southpaw Advantage? - Lateral Preference in Mixed Martial Arts
    The Southpaw Advantage? - Lateral Preference in Mixed Martial Arts Joseph Baker1*,Jo¨ rg Schorer2 1 School of Kinesiology and Health Science, York University, Toronto, Canada, 2 Institute of Sport Science, University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany Abstract Performers with a left-orientation have a greater likelihood of obtaining elite levels of performance in many interactive sports. This study examined whether combat stance orientation was related to skill and success in Mixed Martial Arts fighters. Data were extracted for 1468 mixed martial artists from a reliable and valid online data source. Measures included fighting stance, win percentage and an ordinal measure of skill based on number of fights. The overall analysis revealed that the fraction of fighters using a southpaw stance was greater than the fraction of left-handers in the general population, but the relationship between stance and hand-preference is not well-understood. Furthermore, t-tests found no statistically significant relationship between laterality and winning percentage, although there was a significant difference between stances for number of fights. Southpaw fighters had a greater number of fights than those using an orthodox stance. These results contribute to an expanding database on the influence of laterality on sport performance and a relatively limited database on variables associated with success in mixed martial arts.

  • ORTHODOX STANCE TEACHER RESOURCE PACKAGE Prepared By: Susan Starkman, B.A., M.Ed
    ORTHODOX STANCE TEACHER RESOURCE PACKAGE Prepared by: Susan Starkman, B.A., M.Ed Synopsis: Dimitriy Salita is a Russian immigrant, professional boxer and religious Jew. Orthodox Stance portrays his integration of these seemingly disparate and incompatible cultures, ultimately amalgamating both his pursuit of a professional boxing title with his devotion to Orthodox Judaism. In the end, the film is not just about boxing and religion, but about a young man’s search for meaningful expression. Significance of Title In boxing terms, an orthodox stance refers to the traditional right-handed boxing position (as opposed to a left-handed, or “southpaw” stance). In the context of the film, the title is a clever play on words that incorporates both the language of boxing and the strict branch of Orthodox Judaism that Dimitriy Salita practises. Context After reading an article in The Washington Post about Dimitriy Salita, director Jason Hutt contacted Salita’s rabbi and arranged to meet Dimitriy. According to Hutt, “after reading the article and meeting Dimitriy, it wasn’t the anomalous ‘religious Jewish boxer’ or the ‘will he become the next Jewish champ?’ angles that attracted me, but rather the diverse and wholly original characters that intersect at Dimitriy – an elderly African-American trainer, a Hasidic rabbi, a Las Vegas boxing promoter; as well as the diversity of Dimitriy’s experience – a Russian immigrant, a religious Jew, a top boxing prospect” (Orthodox Stance media kit). Indeed, what sets Orthodox Stance apart from other films in the boxing genre is its focus on how a sport like boxing can bridge racial, ethnic and religious divisions, uniting people from disparate backgrounds.

  • Fighting a Taller Opponent in Boxing and MMA
    Fighting a Taller Opponent in Boxing and MMA Fighting a taller opponent – Fedor Vs some giant dude Ever wondered how to fight someone taller than you? Course you have that’s why you’re here…the following are my tips for boxing or fighting a taller opponent and/or a bigger opponent, I hope they help: 1. Get in the pocket & counter-strike If you are short, or short for your weight class like me, then you pretty much have to get used to taking a jab. Take it on your forehead if you have to, but try not to back up. Ideally you’ll slip and counter, or block and counter, or even, as mentioned, take it on your forehead by keeping your chin right down. You have to be really tough for this to work, which unfortunately I am definitely not. Taller guys can keep safe, at the end of a jab, and win fights without taking any damage at all. It’s not as easy for a shorter fighter, generally speaking you have to be more aggressive and get stuck in. If you continually back up after a jab, you’ll never get in your own range and you won’t be able to counter. If possible you want to move forward, and just ‘walk through’ your opponents jab. For example, if you and your partner are both in orthodox stance (left foot forwards) you could practice parrying a jab and stepping forward (and to the side a bit) with a right foot. As outlined in my amazing illustration: Jab Normal – Then Step forward with back foot and jab again Remember, you do this to counter your opponent’s jab – Move your head to the right and off centre line, then throw your own jab.

  • Crawford Drops Kavaliauskas 3 Times, Stops Him in 9
    Crawford Drops Kavaliauskas 3 Times, Stops Him In 9 NEW YORK CITY — In the main event of a Top Rank on ESPN card from Madison Square Garden, pound-for-pound greatTerence “Bud” Crawford (36-0, 27KO) retained his WBO World Welterweight Title, sendingEgidijus “Mean Machine” Kavaliauskas (21-1-1, 18KO) to the canvas three times en route to a 9th round TKO victory. True to form, the 32 year old Nebraskan Crawford started slow and conceded early rounds and momentum to Kavaliauskas. In the third round, Kavaliauskas landed a huge right hand that momentarily buckled Crawford. The Lithuanian quickly followed up with a flurry of shots that ultimately collapsed Crawford to the mat, but referee Ricky Gonzalez nullified the knockdown and ruled Crawford was pushed. After four see-sawing rounds that witnessed both fighters give and take their fair share of punishment, Crawford began to take control in the fifth. “Bud” found success by fighting a more defensive fight and staying out of range of Kavaliauskas’s right eye. But in the seventh, the switch-hitting Crawford upped the ante and turned up the heat. Time and again Crawford came forward with a high guard and closed the gap between he and Kavaliauskas before letting his hands go. Towards the end of the round, Crawford caught Kavaliauskas with a buzzing right hook that offset the Lithuanian’s equilibrium and sent him to the mat. Kavaliauskas beat Gonzalez’s ten count and was able to ride out the ensuing storm to make it out of the round. Just two rounds later, Crawford dropped Kavaliauskas with a vicious uppercut.
