A Quote by Luke Campbell

I'm a southpaw and a counter-puncher. I tend to box on the back foot and catch my opponents when they come forward.

What made my matches against Borg and Connors interesting was, comparing it to boxing, it was like a puncher and a counter-puncher.

John McEnroe

Donald Trump's a fighter. Great counter puncher. Great counter puncher. He's a fighter.

Steve Bannon

Remember the box fight: You start as a southpaw, you go back to fighting as a right-handed fighter.

Michael T. Flynn

I can definitely box on the front foot as well as the back foot. I don't think that's really an issue.

Katie Taylor

As a musician you have to keep one foot back in the past and have one foot forward into the future.

Dizzy Gillespie

I find I work best as a reactor, trying to portray something on a screen musically. If I were a boxer, I'd be a counter-puncher.

Henry Mancini

His legs have a mind of their own, his foot shoots by itself... Roberto Baggio is a big horsetail that flicks away opponents as he flows forward in an elegant wave.

Eduardo Galeano

There is a gesture he has, a motion, that always reminds me of a great batter leaning into a hit. He has a way of throwing one foot forward, putting his head down a bit as he silently runs the valves, and then the cheeks bloom out in the way that has mystified his dentist for years, and he hits into the solo. When that foot goes forward like that, you know that John Birks Gillespie is no longer clowning. Stand back.

Gene Lees

What you and I need to do is learn to forget our differences. When we come together, we don't come together as Baptists or Methodists. You don't catch hell 'cause you're a Baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a Methodist... You don't catch hell because you're a Democrat or a Republican. You don't catch hell because you're a Mason or an Elk. And you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an American; 'cause if you was an American, you wouldn't catch no hell. You catch hell 'cause you're a Black man. You catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

Malcolm X

Probably the most important aspect of individual defensive play is the 'close-out.' This approach to the ball should be made in a 'step-drag action' with advanced foot moving forward first and then the back foot in a boxer's type shuffling of the feet.

Tex Winter

Allan is good in transition, going box to box, leading counter attacks and breaks. He's mobile and brings protection defensively.

Tite

I tend not to look too much back; I tend to look forward. So, I suppose, I know, I've had probably most of my life, and there's less going forwards than there is going back, but I prefer to look in the future.

Steve Harris

I definitely proved that I'm more than just a puncher, but I'm also a puncher.

Jermell Charlo

When someone throws a power shot and you want to counter, you have to lean into it as you block it so that you can come right out with what you are throwing. If you roll away or lean back, it's going to knock you off balance, and you won't be able to counter the punch. Being able to do that comes from experience, and life is the same exact way.

Cub Swanson

If someone drops a catch, and I get angry, will that catch come back to us? It won't. Therefore, it is better to be cool, because that helps in better performance.
