1
I watched your workout on that punch bag.
2
Now, you're in an enormous physique, but everything seems to spring from your legs and your stomach.
3
Is that true?
4
Yeah, you know, I used to punch with snap on my shoulders and my legs.
5
Bringing the punches together with accurate and precision.
6
You see, you tend to me to come up under people.
7
No, because, see, you misinterpret it, because the object of the game is, like, when I hit the punch,
8
like, boom, boom, and then I twist it.
9
Boom, and I'm at the side, but you can't hit me.
10
Like if you expect me to be here and you don't punch it here, the don't punch is here,
11
but I'm here already and I'm going to hit you already a couple of times.
12
Then you're interpreting that I'm jumping in and going boom.
13
I'm not going to punch it.
14
I mean boom, boom, boom.
15
Yeah.
16
Yeah, I'll get the point.
