Wanna see something awesome?
My old buddy Alan Siegel from the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune sends along this video of a young Milan Lucic. BOXING!
The video is from the summer of 2004, when Lucic’s father sent him to Champlain Heights Community Center to learn how to box as a means of helping him mature and compete as a hockey player. And, well, you see the results. He won three of his four amateur fights, including the above video, a first-round TKO.
“His hook was perfect,” McInnis says. “I’ve seen him use it in hockey. He brings it over with the elbow slightly curving. A lot of guys will do it sideways.”
I mean, look at how bad Looch pummels that kid. Bloodied his nose on his first real flurry, then did it even worse on the second and the fight had to be stopped. Because even at 16, Lucic was a bad dude.
