What I've Learned So Far

  1. I've learned how to effectively feint and follow up with a right cross. 



3. The main part of my research that helped me accomplish this was my service learning. It gave me the time to practice the move on a bag and on a person while sparring.

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

  1. What I plan to do for my independent component is to take an introductory business class at Citrus College during the winter quarter. 
  2. There are fifty-four lecture hours in the class, there should be more than enough time to meet the required thirty hours. 
  3. This independent study relates to my EQ because it talks about how to be remembered and having business skills is a vital asset to get my name out and to negotiate with sponsors.

Defining the Essential Question

  1. What is the best way for a boxer to be remembered by future generations of boxers?
  2. Define:  Remembered: I mean remembered as in to be talked about and used as an example as an ideal boxer by trainers as far as five decades into the future or more.
    Future generations of boxers: Future generations of boxers are people of all ages that take up boxing. Typically people several decades into the future that would use you as an inspiration to be a better fighter.
  3. Having a distinct style in your fighting technique that attracts a crowd and still wins the fight.                             Setting either high number of wins to a low number of loss ratio or number of knockout win records, mainly in the heavyweight division.                                                                                                           Box against world famous boxers to get you name out and establish a fan base. 
  4. My most important source was the biography of Sugar Ray Robinson because he is the ideal example of a boxer that is still remembered today. He was considered the best of all time, so looking at what made him great really help develop some answers.
