When you're hitting a fairway wood, you've got a lot of real estate to cover to get to your target. Your first instinct is probably to give it a little more power because you're worried about coming up short.
Whether I play five or 10 metres forward or back does not change my way of playing, to be on the ball a lot.
I've trained boxing in the past to learn the distance, trained wrestling to understand how he would take me down, but I won't get there to fight my opponent's game.
Not everything I dislike should be destroyed, some of it should simply be moved farther away.
I love palm strikes because you have a longer reach. Normally, when you give a left hook and then a right straight, you are too close for the right straight. Why? Because the hook is shorter.
I need space between me and the audience - and the more space the better.
Many people don't understand ring control. They think they do until they're against someone who really understands how to set traps, how to create holes in the octagon that they fall into.
Remote and ineffectual don.
Standing toe to toe with another fighter, I could probably do well, but a smart fighter is not going to stand toe to toe with me, and they're going to move to a weakness.
I tell the guys all the time, 'if you have a good puncher, all the way in or all the way out.' Don't stay there and box.
Maybe, it's not the distance that's the problem, but how you handle it.
