Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s Recent Win Proves Power of Old-School Boxing Forms; Highlighted in New Book

MIAMI - June 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Traditional boxing techniques expert Vinny Furlani, founder of new Art of Boxing mobile magazine, expresses the perpetual power of old-school boxing techniques, as seen in the latest victory of five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mastermind behind the 10-Point Strategic Boxing System, Furlani announces his partnership with two-time world champion Tracy Patterson to co-author a book that will expose the 10-point training system and present Patterson’s real-world insight on each technique.

Chapter by chapter, Furlani will concentrate on each point of the system, defining, in depth, a specific technique and reveal how each step is a step above other methods. Patterson will give an applied view of the points by disclosing authentic examples from past fights.

Specially designed for boxing fans and fighters of all levels and genres of fighting, such as Mixed-Martial Arts, the books aims to offer insight into what moves to spot when watching a fight. “Champions like Floyd Mayweather prove again and again that there is no other way to fight but the “old way, the right way,” asserts Furlani, adding that Mayweather is a natural 10-point plan expert. “He is one of the few fighters today who uses a very effective technique that actually puts the fighter in a position to get hit, but also allows him to throw crosses at precise intervals. That is one of the topics we will dissect and illustrate in our book.”

Highlighting the Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Robert Guerrero fight, Stephen Espinoza, head of Showtime Sports, said, “Those who found the fight boring missed Mayweather’s genius. Mayweather dipped under Guerrero’s punches, slid around Guerrero’s grasp, landed right-handed pot shots. It was clinical, surgical, efficient. It was artistic.”  

Fans and fighters eager to learn about the 10-Point Strategic Boxing System before the book’s release can partially access it through Art of Boxing Magazine on iTunes. The mobile application gives readers an introduction to the proven benefits of classic boxing techniques by offering a new step of the system each month in the Vinny’s Corner section.

The May issue examines the first two points of the program – the Jab (Point 1) and Cross (Point 2). “Learning the foundation of classic boxing form is crucial in order to grow as a boxer. In the April issue, Vinny’s Corner effectively detailed The Boxing Stance (the foundation of the system).  Now learning Points 1 & 2, the Jab and Cross, in the May issue, prior to learning other power punches, will enable the fighter to advance to the next level,” Furlani said.  

The iMag is now available for subscription through the iTunes Store and www.artofboxingmag.com.
