If I was learning to box, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest to train only balance, footwork and endurance for the first 6 months. Any old meathead can learn to throw punches. Can they actually hit things with punches? Or not get hit? That's the art. It's basically akin to going to football (soccer) training and saying to the coach that you only want to shoot at the goal.
I can understand him being a bit bummed out by that but he should be able to comprehend that this thread alone has 1.5 million views and thus, he might be a person that people would rather not be associated with, online.
His coach needs to take him in the ring and teach him a lesson. Show him why he has to either humble himself and learn or get the fuck gone. He'll never humble himself and put in the work.
This is why I hope he is actually doing some law school thing, same exact pattern will apply and same result he'll fail because he's ultimately lazy and also always knows better.
As for the 1.5 million views, this is just one more reason why he should never be allowed back. He craves that attention and should never be allowed to get it again, he blew it and threatened Ron. Also, this thread shows views can be generated without him.
