atomicpoet, 28 days ago For years, I’ve been wondering why boxers from Southern Africa are so small. And today, I met a Tanzanian boxer who gave me the answer. Gyms there don’t accept tall fighters. If you’re over 6’, they turn you away.

atomicpoet, 28 days ago @aulia Speed – although I’m not convinced a small size means greater speed because I’ve seen tall guys nullify it. It’s easier to hit down than hit up, especially if you have a reach advantage.
