Ernest Farrow

Farrow trained with men of very different reach and kept notes on how each occupied space. Those notes are concerned with angles, doors and the placement of a chair. They make sense as the observations of a boxer. He was attentive to what an opponent did after an exchange, particularly the direction of the first step away. That observation informed his next approach. Farrow’s contest with Bibby required him to read a longer reach than he preferred, and the points result reflects a patient evening rather than a sudden reversal.

Recorded style: Body puncher.
