I’m going to do precisely the identical, I’m gong to boxing behind a beautiful lengthy jab, going to double feint him, feint him, feint him, feint him, double feint him, physique, uppercuts to the top, uppercuts to the physique. However as an alternative of [showboating] I’ll be focusing a bit extra.
