Ike Quartey Prepares For Vernon Forrest

[disgrapefruit2bitter]

This is a whole decade after Quartey's best years and he still looks deadly. The jab he revealed against Jung-Oh Park in '95 is the fastest jab of all time. Of all time. In the years between 1991 and 1996, I truly believe Ike Quartey could have fought evenly with SSR, Duran, Chavez, even Robinson because his jab was invisibly fast.

The Bazooka Jab is one of the best EVER..

[mjccmc82]

this guy has some real snap to his punches

[jimpurdie]

did don king rromote quartey? and did de la hoya beat him also vargas? i know ike was a top top fighter with great double jab right hook.

[Duccii]

Was with Ike and his camp for his fight with Verno Phillips. Rock solid. Can't see how anyone could get away from that jab.

[s0ldi3rb0yx]

If you want a perfect jab model it after this guys

[abusamir]

If you ever want to learn how to throw a jab just watch Ike

[CHAOSDEATHCULT]

You name your fucking youtube account from a retired boxer that you've got the hate on for? WHAT a fucking DORK! LoL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[notsoslick7]

one of the best jabs in boxing ever,no doubt

[tpbisdivine]

@notsoslick7 no diggity

[ChessMasterHarvey]

@notsoslick7 The best standard jab of 'any' fighter whether it be MMA or Boxing I've ever seen.

[notsoslick7]

@ChessMasterHarvey Agreed,some HW's with good jabs have looked more impressive due to their size and power but Quarteys technique is the best their has ever been-Hes a huge under achiever aswell

[scarred10]

@ChessMasterHarvey well now mma figters dont even enter any equation regarding punching ability

[tom11zz884]

Ike wasa good fighter, just always seemed to come up short in the big fights..but one of my favorite fighters though.

[slick3336]

possibly the most screwed fighter ever

[BERNARDO712]

@slick3336 He lost close vs Delahoya and got a bad decision vs Forrest.

Who else?

[nicHoju]

He looks awesome.

I want to try to copy his jab technique, but I can't even see how he's getting his power - none of his body moves aside from his arm! -How is his jab so powerful??

[SudanWarrior]

Hey nic, I believe it's core strength. Yes it's true his body is not moving like you see others do when they jab; however, there is a very explosive short-turn in his torso with every jab. Many fighters just step with the jab; he is actually twisting slightly when he jabs. Again; I think it's great core strength.

[London2ATL]

He turns his hips into the jab, look closely.

[Corrosion27]

Beautiful jab. Fast, precise, powerful...

[MTLsoldier]

the speed is amazing

[Poetryisalive]

They allow their weight to up and down too much. Not staying steady. Meaning if you are schedule to fight at 147lbs. why would you walk around weighting three or four pounds more then that. If you fight, at 147 then you should never weight three or four pounds more then that at any giving time.

[Poetryisalive]

Two of the main reasons many fighters today dont have one punch knock out power is because they play with their weight too much. Many of them will only be mediocre at best. And that goes for Forrest, Mayorga, Quartey and many, many others. It manly comes lack of discipline and poor schooling during the amateurs.

[bogdan135]

What does "play with their weight" mean? Explain please.

[flem1]

Scary jab..

[mjccmc82]

ike has a great jab and he I enjoyed watching his fights...he probably had the lowest body fat % out of any athlete I've seen-I focus on boxing and mma and ike has a crowd pleasing style-I'm a big fan. good workout

[lockplay]

that jab was "the Bazooka!"

[marzblkman]

Focus on Ike's jab. Thats one of the quickest jabs in the history of boxing.

[aaron602]

One of the most underrated boxers ever. His fight with De La Hoya was still the best boxing match I have ever seen

[kazooka2002]

Man,nice punches but i know one will take me out.
