A ramble about when a move is just a gimmick, and how it can become something more. Ultimately, like all my work, a thinly veiled excuse to talk about Sakuraba.

A love letter to the hillbilly shoulder roll

Tommy Loughran was a pretend heavyweight. Yet at 5'11 and with a 73 inch reach, Loughran was able to out-jab just about every heavyweight he met.
