That kind of stuff has been going on in the Philadelphia gyms every day for years. Against both kinds of opponents, he’ll throw punches in flurries to try to force a toe-to-toe exchange.
He gets bored with bob-and-weave style fighters and he gets flustered with quick-moving boxers. Like nearly all of the Philadelphia fighters, he sets up his attack with righthand leads, following with lefthooks and more rights. Pendleton is also proof you can take the fighter out of Philly but you can’t take Philly out of the fighter. He fought six times in the last two years, once in 1989. Early in his career he fought three times in 12 days, losing twice. If nothing else, he’s a more rested and better prepared fighter. E-Pilot Evening Edition Home Page Close Menu
