The first lesson in truly learning how to throw a punch is so frustrating, so frustrating. Especially if you fancy yourself athletic, that has to do with expectations and that is a different topic. The discomfort is realizing you thought you knew what throwing a punch meant and you just found out you don't even know how to stand.

Sharice Davids

You get respect in society if you are aggressive. If you fight then people respect you. If you fight back, people like you for that as well. When Ive been beaten up, if Ive been in a pub doing nothing wrong, the fact I chose not to fight back, that I would never throw a punch back, people say Im weak. I dont think thats a weak thing at all. I think why should I descend to their level? If Ive done nothing wrong, throwing a punch back makes me as bad and corrupt as them. As evil as them, as stupid as them.

Richey Edwards

He sells, he knows how to talk, he's smart, he's no fool. McGregor doesn't fight, he just reacts, he's never first to throw a punch. He goes in there to tease, not to fight. He's like Muhammad Ali.

Glover Teixeira

The greatness of Marciano in the ring was defined by the way he prepared for a fight, his ability to punch and take a punch.

Rocky Marciano

My first fight in Hamilton was against Rocky Thompson. Everybody was saying, 'Be careful, he can punch with both hands.' I'm saying, 'Look how skinny he is.' I was cocky. But he beat me. After that fight I said to myself, man, this is going to be a tough job.

Georges Laraque

I spent the whole first year of my career just on my legs. If you have good legs under you, then you can punch. Anybody can stand and throw their hands and look like an idiot. If you actually want to learn how to punch, you have to work on being balanced on your legs and feeling your legs under you. Feel the ground.

Ronda Rousey

I am infamous for writing fight scenes beat for beat, punch for punch. I can't help it!

Bryan Konietzko

You can have the perfect plan through the first punch but then you have to take the fight second by second.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk

Full Frame is where I had the first showing of my first film, 'Street Fight.' I have a fond memory of pacing around outside the theater, nervously trying to keep from throwing up. It's a magical festival, well curated, with a warm and generous spirit.

Marshall Curry

The supporters...It is true that they are dangerous when they run close to the riders. From there to throwing a punch. That is a step.

Gilberto Simoni

Any punch can end a fight, so there's no easy fight.

Fabricio Werdum

I lost six months of work due to throwing open punches and took a punch on the chin.

Wanderlei Silva

We're a long way away from someone like Willie Pep winning a round without throwing a punch.

Brin-Jonathan Butler

Obviously, throwing leg kicks in the first round is not smart, but it's something that I can really utilize in the later rounds to both score points and look to finish the fight.

Cain Velasquez

The first punch I learned was the jab. Second, the cross punch; third, the hook - after that, all the combinations and how to move my head and feet. It took me just two months to be ready to get in the ring!
