This DVD from Olympic Gold Medalist and former WBO champion Ray Mercer is one of the most complete ever offered on the basics of boxing - from the classic left jab, right cross, upper cut, hook and, of course, the Bolo punch. Ray tells very cool stories all the way through as he relates each technique to his many personal experiences. Ray's examples demonstrate that these skills have been, most definitely, 'road tested'. --Publisher info.
