“There’s things he’d do that I still teach to my fighters,” Joe Goossen said. “One is using the double-end bag, which is very good for teaching short, inside punches. If [the opponent] thought [he] had the middle closed up, there was no one better than Frankie at threading the needle with a 1-2 because he was such a straight puncher. Even if [the opening] was only three inches wide. He’d get up close to you and when you’re not expecting it, throw a left, then a right – right on top of one another.
