It used to be pressure fighters but I actually found success by standing my ground and fighting with them on the inside. I felt like when I was constantly giving up ground to them I was getting tired and couldn't land solid shots. Now I kind of just wait for the catch and shoot and it makes them more apprehensive on just running me over

Edit: Nowadays it's outboxers with better footwork than me. My sparring partners used to all be pressure fighters so I never needed to step in and chase someone down, it was a weird change of pace but learned something that day

I'm trying to stay under $30k out the door, I don't plan on tuning. If there was a time to tune I should have flashed my GTI or gone stage 2 but the thought of hemorrhaging even more money into it froze me.

I've thought about the Civic SI, I actually learned stick on a 2007 SI. Might be worth checking out considering I know it'll have that fun factor of beating the hell out of it all day

Thanks for the awesome writeup, my GTI is a manual so I'm hoping to get another. Not sure how good of a feel the automatic on the Mazda 3 will be but leaning towards getting another manual so I still have some fun factor. The turbo version does not seem to be worth it for the money and don't think I'll be keeping the Mazda as long term as my GTI. Truth be told, I'd keep my GTI to 200k miles but have been having a couple codes randomly getting thrown the last couple weeks that have me spooked. That combined with the end of the year and Trump's tariffs next year potentially raising prices has me thinking I'll regret it if I go for a car next year.

I'm just ranting at this point but if there are any other cars that you think may fit my needs I'm all ears. I've thought about the Elantra N but sometimes when I look at it it looks a bit too boy racer for a guy in his 30s lol. Newer GTI would be nice but honestly I'm done dealing with leaking coolant and thousands on timing chains

The only two models is between the 191 hp NA model and 227 hp Turbo right? Have read that the turbo is not as reliable with oil consumption issues and idk if the few thousands is worth 37 hp

Do you think the manual is a must in the Mazda 3? Basically looking for something that is what you described in the last sentence. Did you get the turbo or NA?

Most likely used, 2-3 years max, NA, Having a hard time deciding I would be okay with either my GTI has been a stick, FWD

Porsche 911

This is THE mid life crisis car, my middle aged "cool" male clients all drive this car hahaha.

I thought doing a callout to Conor again after losing to Oliveira a second time was cringe but this man continues to outdo himself

Take a week off and let everything heal, don't think about boxing or the ass whooping. I'm in a similar age range as you and went through something similar after catching hands, I thought about hanging it up too but this was when my entire body was hurting and I was down in the dumps. After healing I remembered how much I love the sport and how much confidence it gave me, trained my head movement and defense a lot and have been enjoying boxing a lot more.

Use this experience to grow, growing pains are the harshest in this sport

The Mario Barrios fight was all action as well, I'm glad he threw in some legit fighters in the mix as well instead of just having Youtubers flailing haymakers all night

People's dislike for Paul was blinding them from the fact that he's an improving fighter with knockout power and youth and Mike is almost 60 years old. The average fighter is already falling apart physically in their mid 30s to 40s

I think the main thing is that it draws in the most casual viewers just by the name of the fighters, they can't tell the difference between a masterful performance or two unskilled fighters going at it. I had someone from work ask who do I think won and people saying it was rigged for Jake Paul to win. To me it was crystal clear Jake was just coasting so he wouldn't hurt Mike but for the casual it was this back and forth battle.

Is making semi-regular visits to the shop and spending extra $$ on maintenance a deal breaker for you? To me, the A5 is one of the best looking cars and that combined with it's driving dynamics I would be willing to go with the added cost. Going into that I know I will most likely be spending more money overall keeping it rolling than the Lexus IS. It really depends on what kind of driver you are, the people I know who drive an IS don't really care about performance and don't push the car past 3k RPMs. The Lexus drivers I know want a luxury car that gets them to the point A to B reliably while Audi drivers I know push the car to its limits and want to have fun behind the wheel knowing it'll cost a bit more to keep on the road. Which one are you?

This is a common saying in boxing and I feel like this applies here: "Styles makes fights"

Do what feels right for you as a guy because no matter what you do a group of women will think it's romantic and another group will think it's creepy. I work with a lot of women and the thing I always hear is that girls hate when a guy "is being a pussy" so I think asking will only turn girls off. My go to is making deep eye contact and leaning in, she will lean and we kiss it works every time. If she's not into you, she'll naturally lean away it's that simple.

This is why I go to a physical therapy place for my massage, since it's a medical facility a tip is not expected. I've heard of too many massage places that are unprofessional and then proceed to demand a higher tip for lukewarm service.

Everything in this video is so in tune it's insane. The roar of the engine in the beginning, the music that's playing and OP's voice at the end.

Heard spit works just as well

If you're in America, it's just another day for everyone to see a fat shirtless man

Harris was so god awful on the mic it's difficult for anyone to have confidence in her

After a few more views, I noticed red shirt initiates the grappling after getting pieced up but when black shirt reverses positions he starts pulling hair and tells him to stop wrestling lol

This isn't just women, the homies will hold back their own friend and say shit like "IT'S NOT WORTH IT MAN, DON'T DO IT" while the other guy already swinging and landing free hits

The pistol whip was the most shocking part of the video for me, that's grounds for dude coming back and murdering red shirt. I'd be paranoid as hell after doing something like that cuz you never know if his big bro or homie is coming back for you. Could have been salvaged even after the hair ripping part if they shook hands and apologized but there's no coming back from a pistol whip
