MarQuez Pitt I'm 5'9 190 and would likely not fight any lighter than lightheavyweight. In the same boat haha

Dug deadass 😂😂😂

thelaurels13 the original quote actually goes "...until they get punched" but someone added face to sound cooler

Bruncek Puncek Ahhh didn't nobody needed to hear that bs

As long as you dont close your eyes your good that quote is only for people that close there eyes

@Bruncek Puncek Hairy wiener.... to the face. You're right.

i never heard that from mike tyson but i think i saw in videos quiotes and memes actually Mark Hunt said that but tyson not sure

Windton Winston how did you do it

@@jaydenkesan871 watch mike tyson vids. He's always alot shorter than everyone else.

Body shots

Man I have been boxing for about 1 year and this has always been my problem I’m 155 cm or 5,1 but I’m only 13 but I’m still very very short but it’s so annoying cause I’m good technically but just not in sparing got any tips ??👍🥊

@@Boberson481 chill mate

Happened to me yesterday

I disagree, being taller favours the uppercut more I'd say. Body shots are good for shorter fighters since you are closer to that target.

Eduard over hand Right *

Rap Game That too, as the angle is advantageous for hitting above you.

Leo. You can see an uppercut coming from a tall guy better than seeing it coming from a short guy

@@thotdestroyeroni7726 Ok, that might be true, but the angle still favours the taller fighter. To explain what I mean, when you throw an uppercut, the first part of the motion has your fist going forward right? And the last goes sraight up. That means for you to have the connection be perpendicular for the first part of the movement, the target needs to be facing you. What that means is if you are trying to hit something below you (like an uppercut to the body) the punch must go forward right? You would know this of course even if you only hit the bag. This also means if you are taller than your opponent you can hit their face square with the same punch while they are facing you. Now, for the last part of the movement it goes upwards. This means that if you are hitting a target above you, it must be facing downwards. If you are fighting someone the same height as you or taller, this only happens if they are ducking their head down, which is a common situation when you pressure someone, but you need to wait for that opportunity. You will also know this is true when hitting the heavy bag with uppercuts somewhere higher up, you have to make a connection at an angle, which is weaker. What this means is as a taller fighter you can throw uppercuts whenever you want at whatever target. As a shorter fighter you must either throw them to the body, or make your opponent duck his head, which makes it more situational for a shorter fighter. And any short fighter (myself included, im 5'7") knows this is true, even if they can't explain why. Just to clarify, you can go for the head with an uppercut as a shorter fighter without them ducking, it just means the impact won't be flush with their face perpendicular, so its not as effective.

jaylin degraffreed jts comment section isn't too filled with experts. Mostly humble people looking for more info. It's refreshing

Im an expert! LOL..

honest lee. That's why I'm here, ive been sparring bigger guys and I needed some tips on getting close lol

LOL

Dominus Providebit I mean usually the guys that come to instructional videos like who have never been in a fight, or sparred, or much less trained at all.

Tru

Good plan, but difficult to do because opponent's punches are fast and hard. The only way is you must faster, tougher and more precise than the opponent. Now we know Tyson is how fast and tough.

I wish you the best broski🤝

like what?

Karl Hans using slips and weaving hooks ,,,little tip ive learned when your weaving in the direction of your lead hand use that momentum to do a gazelle punch leaping hook

@@BankBidnizz I'm trying to get my stamina up dude I'm so slow

@@anthonyl9126 do sprints and jogs trust me in a week u will see ur stamina improve

@@BankBidnizz I have a flat foot my dude it's excruciating. I can last on the heavy bag for a few rounds before burning out and I skip a lot of rope though. Yeah, skipping rope doesnt cause me pain go figure. I was thinking of trying stair sprints to compensate for regular sprints.

+Ingrid Simmons nice!

you can clean my kitchen for fitness.

@@Chrisxxxtz kek

@@Chrisxxxtz lol

When you master high guard you wont be getting rattled anywhere near as much mate

this is true, it hard to keep the stamina when your pushing against all there shots and trying to trade at the same time

I'm 5'11 ,73 reach and a have a sparring partner with 6'1 and 75 reach hahaha

Thx! No but I love them for everyday boxing training

Brett O Shane(Fighttips) is more of an mma guy,though it would interesting

I'm pretty sure he has before it was like 2 years ago. Check the older videos

I feel shane would lose, but at the same time it's hard to predict how jt would respond to the kicks. U never know he might also train kickboxing on the side as well as boxing. They made a video together or a collab I should say so I think they are friends. Jt just seems tougher idk why I have a harder time watching fight tips videos. Shane is great but I question his credentials sometimes

Brett O shanes channel is for dumbass kids jason wouldnt even bother

yea I researched his credentials by accident looking up another fighter with a similar style channel and found nada hes more of a seminar coach/fighter

Lyrics4U bro can u help me, this is my second boxing match and it's against a really fucking tall guy. gimme some tips that worked with u

@@johnyfausman959 master high guard and cutting the ring off

+Lawrence Whiteley thx, I think he suggests to punch at the same time as the step

That's like a Marciano build

@@PrecisionBoxing just turns out me and Marciano have the exact same wingspan

+Squatking 650lbs thank you

This style that jt teaches is a good style. You stuff their shot.. but to stuff a shot first , you need to know where it’s coming from. That’s the hard part :)

Rosendo7 same exact thing here man. Yesterday I sparred a 6’4 guy and I’m 5’11. Next time I’m about to do something crazy I’m gonna wait one day, maybe JT will teach me and I won’t have a sore jaw lol
