There has been quite a shift in boxing, with Japan having a renaissance in their boxing culture, Uzbekistan and Ukraine beginning to reach the upper echelons in professional boxing, Mexican fighters have now began to adopt a more slick style, ever since Canelo stopped his early “Mexican style” and worked more on his defense it seems to have made an influence on younger Mexican fighters and the US has began to lose the grasp they had as the epicenter of the sport, now it’s becoming more global from Saudi Arabia to the UK, Japan and Mexico City having important matches.
Guys keep going doing your thing. Never loose your discipline in Boxing and do Not Fall back if you once lost a fight. I lost all my fights but I im either happy Cuz im Healthy. Be thankful for all you have
Interesting, I’m training for my amateur debut, and when I watch amateur matches in person, I score it by who won the most exchanges, and of course who landed the most punches
Well that is the way is supposed to be. But judges are people. The tournaments are messy events. Leading to Judges using more subconscious methods to choose their winner. And as I say on the video. Some times is hard to see what lunch landed or not. That is why point 2 and 3 are more about how to make your punches more visible. I am sure you have your biases when you score fights. Being aware of it and fighting it is another issue. But the biases exist.
@@Better_Boxing yes I’ve seen them very well made but hopefully you can tell us more about how to win exchanges and how to avoid getting countered , thank you 🙏
Like in your tank davis (one step ahead) I want to know that when we start to initiate exchange how we will come to know that what punch they will throw.
This is a really complicated question. Let me do my best to answer it. In a nutshell you don't know. We can anticipate what punch they may throw based off 2 things. 1- Experience: Experience allows you to know what punches come more often off some punches. Experience also tells you what punches may come from different positions. Example, I am in the long range a jab is likley comming. not a liver shot. (If a liver shot lands, I was never in the long range to beggin with.) In short, is intuitive. every fighter has a different feel for these things, because every fighter tends to be in slightly different positions. 2- By using set ups. As I mentioned in the video, we use set ups to test and see their reactions. Then we can predict their punches based on their reactions. Setups are a skill on itself, I have many shorts showing good practices for the set ups. hope this helps
With this I am menaing that you control when an exchange start and finish. All the low level fighters, and people who can't get to average level fighters are people who can't call the shots on when to exhcange. Their opponent punches, and they trade. The best fighters oin the world can negate exchanges effortlessly. And if they are comming for you, you can't negate their exchange. That is what makes them the best in the world. They call the shots. Now, how to accomplish this? First step, a solid base and proper distance. If i throw a jab at you and lands, you are too close. if I feint at you and you break your base, you give me openings to work. Once mastered the distance and the base, 80% of this skill is pretty much handled.
@@AbhinavShukla-u8v Once you start, you control it by finishing it on your terms. Is quite sinple. If I feint, throw a jab, and leave That is a an exchange I won and controlled. I feint, you punch me, and you leave. You controles the exchange. I feinted, I jabbed, landed, you smother me before I throw a follow up shot. Is even. Both of us controlled half of the exchange. I won it. But controlling the most exchanges over time is what makes you win. Now if you are asking about never getting countered. We go back to the set ups. But even with the best set up, one is never truly controlling what happens in the exchange. Hope this helps
Not really, Because if you get countered with a big shot and lose your balance, the 6 punches you threw loose value. Like the pros. The difference is that because is a sprint athletes allow themselves to go fast and hard. And can keep it up through the fight. Pros can go slow and hard and speed yo when they need. I find amateurs really fun, is just a totally different sport. Like 100m sprint and a marathon athlete. Both are running but quite different body shapes and strategies.
So they dont even count the real hits and misses and actual fight? What if you are more technically and outbox him and dodge but he just throws fast and nonstop but only touches you slightly? Is that a win cause the judges only see for most exchanges? Thats ridicoulus
In a nutshell, depending on your body language yes. If you look like you are in control you might get it. They are supposed to count the punches but is an appreciation sport. Same as pro to be honest. The difference is that in the pros you have more margin of error and can catch up. Amateurs by the time you want to catch up a couple of rounds might have gone by. That is why the approach is to start quick and hard.
Why am I scared to throw 2 shot, I only throw 1 shot at a time and also I'm scared to punch a body shot because I'm thinking they might counter me, someone give me tip pls
Usually is because of how you set up your combo. Basically, every time we punch we are vulnerable. So we must get our opponent in a vulnerable spot before we let our hands go. Even for singles. My video on "land effective combinations" and "see their punches coming and counter" explain setups and their application.
@@shad8677 I see. The challenge is that your rear hand travels the most in order to land. That is why it feels weird and dangerous. To some degree it is. My advice. Learn to control the lead hand and align your lead foot with your opponent. Once you control this position, attacking is easier. Going around the lead foot becomes easier when you are the one calling the shots I am planning to do a video on this in a couple of months anyways.
Tbh amateur boxing scoring sounds just laughable? You loose if you exchange more tactical and dodge but get clean hard shots against someone who just punches lightly every second nonstop cause they see it so? Why are there judges if they cant Count punches exactly for a few mins
Well that is the thing. They care about the power and egfectiveness But in the olympics all of them are quick and strong. You saw the footage. Most exchanges are had to tell what lands and what not. Judges are humans whit flaws aswell. This is why these strategies help them to choose the right person. Like arriving to a job interview well dressed and smelling good. You might be capable to do the job regardless of how you look. But the perception matters. Same in the pros. Same in any other sport that uses judges instead of hard scores.
That video is on the works. Thank you for your suggestion. As of right now, the best way to fight them is using feints to avoid them having a read on you. Letting them shoot first also helps since counter punchers are easier to counter.
Sorry mate, I am a boxing coach. I did the judging course for boxing and been watching the amateur circles for about long while. That is why I can make that video. MMA is another animal in itself. But my advice is: Use point 1. That is universal regardless of sport. And work on your take downs. That is the cleanest way to score and Winn exchanges in mma.
@@Better_Boxing thank you that’s been what ive been working on and cardio since mma are 3 3 minute rounds opposed to kickboxing which are 3 2 minute rounds and I’ve won both my matches but have came out dead tired. I feel like striking wise I’m good but I need grappling practice especially since my first fighters a striker so if I can surprise him with some ground game it could be game over for him
Good approach, In my experience it is always tiring to fight at the beginning. Unless you already did another competitive sport at a decent level. Keep up the good work.
