DEEP MMA & BOXING@deepmmaandboxing 100 years ago On this day in 1926… the “Upset of the Decade” went down. Gene Tunney systematically dismantled the legendary Jack Dempsey over 10 rounds in front of a then-record 120,000 fans at Sesquicentennial Stadium in Philadelphia. The Fighting Marine used pure skill, movement, and precision to take the heavyweight title from the Manassa Mauler. The fight generated a massive gate of nearly $1.9 million — one of the biggest nights and biggest shocks in boxing history.

@tommyg______ Vasiliy Lomachenko was a dancer. I was a skateboarder. Going into boxing some years ago it translated very well with shifting stances and balance.
@rathmorwarriors You can run but you can't hide.
@glasschinbrandon Gene Tunney was a superb boxer. But he did run around the ring for the Dempsey fights pretty much lol.
@charliesentu What book are those quotes from?
@portglasgowvictoriaabc Amateurs should work on footwork a lot
