Not the infamous single mid-range jab

The best punch in boxing is the jab. The worst punch in boxing is a lazy jab.

I remember Donaire capitalizing on this move to counter Inoue several times in their first fight. In the second fight, Inoue learned from his mistakes and used this weak jab deliberately to bait Donaire until countering the counter at the end of round 1. Good video in any case, with very clear examples. Personally, I'm convinced that the mistakes made by some boxers at this level are also due to fatigue, adversity, panic or simply reflex. A jab is a punch that you throw mechanically without thinking, especially when you're short of solutions. It's hard to get rid of certain bad habits, especially when you're not thinking clearly.

Amazing work Gems…this one, for me, is already one of the best videos you’ve done, very well explained with great examples…I know this is a major pet peeve of yours so it must be great to finally make this video…the playlist is growing with quality like this…

Great video BG, make a short follow up to show when you should throw a jab and how to properly use it

Boxing Gems should be viewed in Boxing Gyms. 🥊 🥊❤

This is exactly what I needed I feel like even personal classes don’t explain things throughly enough. They just tell you how each punch works, and combinations that work but they never explain stuff like this. Thank you so much I hope you keep uploading more content.

I'm just a beginner when it comes to Boxing; but the way I was taught to jab is to do the explosive step-in jab where you lower your center of gravity, immediately followed by a 2 if the jab lands (it's a good feeling when you snap the opponents head back and follow through). These have to be the most clean & conscise layman-friendly breakdowns I've found on the ytbc 👍

These type of videos always help my game

The double jab has become a lost art in boxing.

I'm loving this channel

Great breakdown. 💎

The clip of beterbiev's forward momentum is quite interesting. I wouldnt be suprised if bivo ldropped him off of timeing that lundge

your knowledge of boxing is next level

Hands down top 5 videos of your for… great stuff

another banger 🔥

Hardwork dedication

Salute! 🔥🔥🔥🥊🥊🥊💎💎💎

Keep on teaching Ryan.

I love this Chanel.

Class in session

Great film study Gems 🔥🔥🔥

He's Back, glad you could join us

I say this as a true fan of the science. You're the best on RU-vid with the knowledge of the pugilistic sport. 💪🏿💯💪🏿

Thanks brother Gems, another stellar breakdown, seems some boxing careers flourish while other careers die by this very punch, the mid range Jab!!! Man Teo did great against Taylor, that catch and shoot and parrying he did w/Taylors jab was phenominal!!! Thats why I'm so up on Gary A Russell, that dude has the fundamentals down solid, he rarely admires his work and is always firing off double and tripple jabs, An single mid range jab with no followup is like the ole saying that “The Universe abhors a vacuum” if one leaves empty space something will come along to fill it!!!

New sub after this. As a self taught martial artist, these small details help a ton. I already know angles and set ups and what not through sparring and self teaching for years but these things make me recall times i ate crosses or overhands for singular lazy step in jabs. Doesnt take many to realize youre setting yourself up for the shot lol been working boxing much more lately and this page seems to hold many gems. Keep it going

Great video. I've learned more from your videos than I learned from any coach!

Awesome

I do it all the time. Good to know!!!

I just made that mistake yesterday in sparing, and i got lit up 😂

You don't have to follow the jab up with a power punch or defensive move if you are READY TO REACT to what your opponent follows with. One reason to do this is to see how your opponent reacts to your jab. Then you know which counter to follow your jab with next time.

Dope ass video all uo and coming fighters watch and study all of gems videos and you will be good

Thank you boxing gems for your contribution to the sweet science and the philosophy of boxing. Please write an illustrated book and make money!

I’m so glad I found your channel back then. I know I ain’t been active in months but school been stressing me out lol. The knowledge here cannot be questioned. I just watched Floyd clip where he told Devin what he was doing wrong and it was specifically his poor jab mechanics. Floyd said it was amateurish. The other guy called it bow and arrow, and Floyd agreed.

Music 🎶 to my ears 👂 boxing 🥊.

Best film study channel on YT. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Quick question... Do you pick up on these minor details during a live fight or does it take more time to dissect what's going on?

Falling in is caused by inappropriate use of Dempsey drop step.

Gonna help the pros to casual wirh this one Gems Forerunner

Thats like boxing 101 to know ur distance and keep opponent on the end of ur jab. U find that out by simply getting in stance and stretching ur lead hand all the way out. If u are the smaller guy with shorter range than u have to slip the jab and work ur way inside.

If that fight was decided by techniqe or who made the least mistakes, Haney may have won. I thought it was the power game v chin. Congrats on the T. Bradley shoutout. I hope it gets you more subscribers. This is the go-to place on fighnight.

Amazing to see how many high level fighters still make this mistake

This is damn googd work

often imitated, never duplicated 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👨🏾‍💻

I be real. That beat fire 🔥 😂

Matias and Arthur are good at those short punches. U need a good jad. It does start everything

I remember Tim Bradley on commentary talking about jabbing at mid-range after one of Abdullah Mason’s knockout

This is what I need to see. Just got my ass kicked in sparring(only been doing this for over a year as an enthusiast so cut me some slack) yesterday due to these exact few mistakes. Will be learning from it. Thanks Gems.

Now this is a series I'm excited for! 5:58 Bud baited the jab and then countered Errol dude so damn skilled, I'm frustrated BS politics kept him out the ring for over a year. Wtf type shit is that.

Best boxing channel out there. Comment and like folks

💪

can you do a video on the stick and move tactic?

Film don’t lie ! Gems when are you cookin up that Tank vs Martin video !?

Can you do a video like this but with defence of the jab i been having trouble in sparring when im tired ane cant explode to counter it i would like to know of ways to defend it ofc i can ask my coach but im injured right now lol so film study is all i can do for now lol would greatly appreciate it

Teo vs Ryan would be an easy night for Teo if he could implement the same method to nullify Ryans left hook as he did with Taylors jab, although given the speed and different angles that Ryan throws that hook could make such a plan much easier said than done.

🔥🔥🔥🥊🥊📽📺

Those rjj counters, sheesh

Haney was eager to train to beat Ryan with a right cross. He made the mistake of trying to do so in the fight. It might have been easier if he had fought with the mindset he had when he fought Cambosos.

You should make a video about how Haney guard was a mistake to

I feel like when Crawford and Spence fought Crawford was hurting him from mid range jabbing with Errol at the same time a lot and hurting him with them. Then again that’s why buds a world class fighter because he can put himself in the fire but with precision. It felt like they were jabbing together Crawford was Landing every time by catching Errol’s shot, having better position , being faster and changing speeds and power too.

Would you ever consider making a vid on how great jabbers like Camacho and Ali and Robinson avoided making this mistake? Cause im sure those guys got away with throwing jabs from all distances😂 great video btw

Is it the

🥊💎💯🔥🥇🐐

So correct me if I’m wrong, so if I do throw a mid-range jab, do I follow up with a combination or do I double it up to add pressure and keep them off?

Was going to ask if it's the mid range jab or bad technique. Loma throw a lot of mid range jabs but usually follow up with other punches. Or he just keep it compact and able to parry a returning shot. Floyd threw a lot too but of course very responsible on defense. Seems like most get in trouble from being overextended.

bring back the floyd, serious also teach us how to get the best headmovement please

This is why Devin Haney kept getting clipped Floyd even pointed this mistake out to

if you’re a southpaw is jabbing to the right a good option ?

Can we get a video on what’s better to do with the jab

Wow. There’s so much footage of that mistake. Crazy. Thanks again as always Boxing Gems!!! 🙏🫡

Vergil Ortiz and Beterbiev have good jabs. I think Beterbiev’s jab is somewhat mid range. But his is so powerful that opponents have a hard time countering it

The SMRJ 😊❤🥰 LOL

Hey Gems, what's good! What's your overall assesment on the upcoming Bivol-Betervieb match? I've been watching film from both fighters and I see some red flags from Bivol, wich make me worry of a knockout: in the fight against Canelo, in the later rounds, Saul started to counter some of those mid range paws, probes and jabs use to control him and Bivol did'nt seem to catch up; wich makes me think that Canelo's mind was'nt wired to counter early on or he simply had'nt picked up Bivol's timing, wich makes me think that if a smaller, ploding Canelo was able to counter those mid range probes (even if he started too late) a more fundamentally sound, stronger and bigger Betervieb would probably see the opening earlier, and something tells me that Betervieb's punches are gong to hurt Bivol a lot.

What is the right range to throw a single jab

Word of advice avoid throwing the jab or counter the jab

Really telling that it's a mistake even made by some of the best active fighters who are known for good jabs.

So if you throw a mid range jab (which you already shouldn’t do) throw a combination of or another punch behind it so you won’t get countered so easily. Makes sense. Good stuff gems. Keep making videos like these

This is exactly how I got my jaw broken in Texas in 1997.

Spring 2003. I took a Mickey Ward body shot after throwing a single mid range jab during his camp for the 3rd Gatti fight. Yea. Keep that strike to yourself.

Why would it be the case that so many champions caliber fighters make the mistake. Even someone known for being fundamentally sound like EJ or beterbiev.

Could the single mid range jab be the biggest revaluation to the masses since the rhythm step?

Who else calling this out? It’s become mantra here, and afaik, here alone.

Should you never use the full step in ?

Be my problem fr

(Take note…)

Just a month ago I heard you say the proper way to jab is to step.(landing your jab as your step lands)..But now its a mistake. You're not Fooling anyone. lool

These 25 and younger boxing fans are the worse 🤦🏾‍♂️

i really do not understand this well, then every jab with a step is a mid range jab?

Bailey ko of Mike jones 😂

Now send this to Devin so he can get his get back 😂

David Haney got his ass whipped on a very fundamental level by a C fighter. What does that make him? I DON’T THINK RYAN IS A C FIGHTER, BUT THEY DID

They had Haney winning 😂 that’s why yall can’t listen to these channels

That's not a mistake at all. You havn't boxed ever in your life huh? That is the part of boxing! you can't avoid to using that kind of jab when you box.

Haney has terrible fundamentals because he has terrible coordination.

It wasn't the job that caused the trouble it was doing nothing defensively after it. He didn't guard his head with his other hand or step back. At once Ryan caught him with that, he knew he was going to catch him with it all night. And I'm willing to bet if you saw their first amateur flights Ryan capitalized on this same mistake.
