I started boxing two and a half months ago. Every class for the first month I felt like throwing up. Constantly my body felt like it had had enough. Yesterday I got put into the advanced competitive class. I passed the fitness test because I pushed my body further than I ever had before. I trained when I didn’t want to train and I pushed myself when all I wanted to do was give in. If you wanna progress in boxing, push yourself every single training session. Or you’re just wasting your time
tone j boxing is a sport you dont want the young guy to train you you want the oldest guy around that seen them all and can really teach you how to fight. Eexample Mike Tyson Trainer was in his 80s, but mike listened to every word and you seewhat became of him as aresult of that.
yeah, nobody makes this look as beautiful as Mr. Tyson did during his prime. I can't recall a pro boxer that looked mechanically as fast, fluid, efficient and POWERFUL as Mike.
Mike Tyson was the scariest man on the planet in his prime no doubt, but Roy Jones Jr. will probably always be my favorite. It was almost like he could see a second into the future. Unreal reflexes and speed paired with some serious knockout power. In our current era, Tyson Fury is just insane. I just don't understand how a man his size can move the way he can. If you wanna see real crazy speed, look at the lighter weight classes; Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Vasiliy Lomachenko. Just awesome in the truest sense of the word.
We call the rock back a PULL or PULL BACK & the right hand or any counter, is called a Pull Counter. The old man's moves are surprisingly fluid & his knowledge appears in depth. **SUBSCRIBED**
Rolling under the right cross after slipping the jab to the outside is much safer. If you slip the jab outside and try to slip the right, you risk leaning into the cross which makes it much more devastating if he lands.
what do you mean who does that?? .. oh idk every professional boxer ever smh. ducking after you slip to the right is perfect. all you gotta do is position straight after OR you can counter with a strong upper cut.
I like how you break it down sir. Not all boxing coaches explain moves like this . they just threw me in to spar and would correct obvious mistakes at most
This is a fantastic lesson. Some boxers can use other techniques with this, such as slipping to the right and then dropping a bit lower to deliver a crumbling right body shot. Then with blazing speed throw a right uppercut...Ala Mike Tyson. Thanks for sharing your excellent knowledge.
Thanks for very informative instruction. I'm not native English speaker, yet your verbal explanation is easily and clearly understood. The out of frame sequence is OK.
Good Boxing coach, with some great tips. Especially the 'rock-back/shoulder-roll' overhand right counter to the jab or cross. Similar to Kyokushinkai Karate, but the opponent bounces back and then forward quickly, on delivering the reverse punch. So many commonalities in fighting principles, in different martial arts. For example, the Boxing parry is practically identical to the goose neck block in Jujutsu. Boxing is such an underrated skill in martial arts, but essential to know. It's the core of most good Muay Thai / Muay Boran training IMHO. The kicks, knees, elbows, sweeps, etc. are the extras that are added, but it all originates from a proficient Boxing base. Thank you for uploading.
Excellent and fundamental instruction. To the person who complains that his eyes are off his opponent ?! That's because he is talking to the camera and explaining things. Also he does squat on his ducks. There is nothing wrong with his technique. Keep in mind as well that every boxing coach and fighter has his own slight variations in technique.
Nice video. I'm doing amateur boxing, I train twice a week, outside the gym I like the watch techniques and get the theory down before I can practice sparring in the gym.
Awesome video! A thing regarding the parry that is worth mentioning: Put force into the parry. Yes, you don't need to push it far, but you need force to get the fist away from your face. Also really nice tip on slip +roll + hook for short fighters.
Agreed on putting force in that parry, especially if your opponent is bigger/heavier than you. Any doubters should try it on a big guy & see for themselves.

Thank you this was very helpful I will put this information to good use 🙏🏽. I’m still starting out so I’m trying to learn all the techniques I want to be a great undefeated fighter and I will be someday.
I box and this is a solid training vid. The only thing I would add is you need to constant move your head after you throw a punch. I see guys on the focus pads, and heavy bag bobbing and weaving and slipping punches. Then when they spar don't move there head. MOVE YOUR HEAD!! lol For example when you jab once slip to your left. Jab twice slip left then right. When you hook left and right right after bob right and left. If you throw a 5 punch combo you should have moved 5 times.
@KerryPharr hey Kerry, this is a great video. Do you have any recommendations on how to counter two body punches such as; uppercuts, or hooks to the body. Thanks.
