Boxing Coach: Focus, Variety Pivotal for ‘Hendo’

Team Quest head boxing coach Gustavo Pugliese in a recent interview with Sherdog.com discussing two-time Olympian Dan Henderson’s desired standup approach against Fedor Emelianenko when the two meet in the Strikeforce/M-1 Global “Fedor vs. Henderson” main event on Saturday at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Ill., near Chicago:

“He needs to be very focused. When exchanging, he needs to be sharp in a compact punching package. He needs to keep Fedor guessing at all times, not knowing what is coming. Fedor expects Dan to throw his right hand, so Dan has to use the different setups that we have been working all camp long.”
