Blackzillians New Striking Coach, Antonio Tarver

Just announced as the new head striking coach on the MMA Hour

Does Tarver even know what a side check kick is ?

Forgive my ignorance, but didn't the team disband? Perhaps it still exists but some of the more notable guys left?

Sorry, can someone fill me in or is there an article/source where I could get more info?

Hes a blackbelt in side stepping

Wow! Awesome for hands and footwork! Hopefully there's a MT coach there as well.

Yeah I'm sure a top gym like them has several of each.

Nice. Tarver is a great hire. Guy is a boxing encyclopedia. Helluva an amateur won bronze in 96. Great pro as well.

theres 2 teams

half went with hooft the others went with melonson and glenn

I don't think he should be the head striking coach, head boxing coach obviously

Too many differences between a boxing match and MMA match

I think Chuck Mindenhall did a big article on it

Dixon had nothing for the prime Rocky who fought Drago.

Yeah but we don't count the ones before he started banging Adrian. She was a freak in the sack, that's what gave him the original eye of the tiger.
