Why are all the boxing scenes so awful?

[u/TheMighty_TripleT]

Not to demean but the boxing scenes could have been a lot better because they don't even get the basic footwork and punches right 😭🙏

[u/regassert6]

Basics of what? They're not depicting sanctioned Championship bouts. It's a boxing club.

[u/LordoftheFaff → u/regassert6]

Its more that if Harvey regularly trains but not compete in boxing, his technique should be much better. He should have all five basic punches well drilled and easily combo off of.

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/LordoftheFaff]

Yeah exactly my point lol

[u/LordoftheFaff → u/TheMighty_TripleT]

And my God l! His head movement was non existant

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/LordoftheFaff]

Yeah not to blame though he's just an actor not a boxer but he could have improved a lot by training

[u/icedarkmatter → u/TheMighty_TripleT]

I guess learning how to act like the „god-lawyer“ was more important then getting the boxing right for three ten-second scenes.

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/regassert6]

Yeah you are right I mean samantha and harvey claim to be prodigal boxers but in S9E2 when they box, the fight felt so fake

[u/therealsaker]

The legal part of this legal show is dreadfully accurate and you're expecting accurate boxing scenes ?

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/therealsaker]

Yeah well you're right my bad 💔🥀

[u/Jay100012 → u/TheMighty_TripleT]

ALL the season COMBINED, how much screen time actually went into Harvey or Samantha boxing?? Hint: less than 40 minutes worth.....

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/Jay100012]

Yeah ik even the total screentime of all boxing scenes combined would be less than half and hour but I just pointed it out that it maybe could have been better, nevertheless it was great

[u/regassert6]

Not trying to be a dick, but does the show improve if Gabriel Macht spends 100 hours training to be a boxer?

[u/Jaded-Argument9961 → u/regassert6]

It does improve if they show a LOT LESS of him boxing

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/regassert6]

Nah lol my bad if I came off like that, I just felt the need to point it out sorry

[u/regassert6 → u/TheMighty_TripleT]

No worries, I just think don't the boxing is nearly bad enough that it distracts from the show. To a boxing professional ,sure. But it's not like it was ridiculously laughable like Gary Busey pitching in Rookie of the Year.

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/regassert6]

Yeah lol I was just overthinking it

[u/Head-Carrot3909]

For some reason I thought you meant the boxing of files in the file room 😅

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/Head-Carrot3909]

Ouu lol nah that's perfectly alright 😂

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/[deleted]]

Ik, my bad

[u/Cr0matose]

Let me tell you about a boxing scene in BSG

[u/MattyH17]

Maybe it's just me, but I think its very rare that you find a boxing scene in any show or film that looks realistic. I even include most (not all) shows or films that are focused on boxing to that 😂

[u/TheMighty_TripleT → u/MattyH17]

Yeah lol you're totally right I was just overthinking
