Boxing highlights of an amazing but recently murdered amateur boxer Joshua Tingle with a claimed 190 fights. Apparently he was a professional quality level backyard fighter who never made it due to drug issues etc. He is said to have turned his life around only to have been recently murdered in Baltimore Maryland.

This violent crime wave trend seems to be getting out of hand.

He was a very good fighter. I only watched the first few minutes, but each opponent I saw was a much bigger guy than Joshua, but he had them all on the run. He made use of many combination strikes, whereas most his opponents were expecting to use one sledgehammer blow to the noggin and take Joshua out in that way. He almost never dropped his guard, unlike most of his opponents, who seemed to get tired arms holding them up in place.

Joshua was well trained and at times, seemed to act as his own referee, chosing to quickly separate from a cluster, when it seemed a waste of energy.
Josh sort of looked like a young, very fit version of master musician Quincy Jones.

I would say his ability of body punch was superior to many paid pros I’ve watched.

And ive watched many.

Very good for an amateur. Very good for a pro. Too bad about his drug problem. He coulda been somebody.

They catch the killer?
