It is often said in boxing that a fighter with great technique can more often then not, defeat an opponent with superior ability. Vinny Furlani spent 11 years training and working under boxing great Floyd Patterson to learn what he sees as the best way to fight in this sport. I recently had a chance to speak with Vinny Furlani to discuss his 10 point boxing system that he believes many top fighters in boxing today could benefit from. Vinny gives his thoughts on fighters today, and how they compare to the fighters of the past, and discusses how some boxers like Sergio Martinez, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. can improve on their performances in the ring by implementing changes in their technique. Also in this interview Vinny talks about Manny Pacquiao's future going forward and what he feels is really the change in Manny's ring performances, and how he thinks Pacquiao can regain his level of success in the ring.
