This channel is by far becoming one of the most informative boxing channels on RU-vid, Top 3 for sure. Many channels wouldn’t even go into depths in breaking down 6 ways of anticipating attack in both detail and examples from many boxers.
The best thing about these techniques is that they are all part of Boxing fundamentals. None of the defensive moves listed in this video are necessarily advanced, they just require practice and the formation of good basic habits.
@@TheNeorch Lets not forget the fact that George Foreman is 192cm tall just for a moment. Long hands help. Tyson was shorter than pretty much everyone he fought, so long guard was useless him, that's why Cus D'Amato made him slip and weave non-stop: he was ALWAYS within range before he could fire anything.
Great video on anticipation and defence in boxing. I've drilled a few of these in classes and I'm practising the head movement when I shadowbox. Good to see these examples here.
What a great channel. My favorite anticipatory defensive technique is the jab. Top level boxers know there's no meaningful distinction between offense and defense; one flows into the other as you work to make your opponent react to you vs the other way around. The jab is usually the skeleton key that unlocks your ability to position your opponent where you want him, make him do what you want when you want. Doesn't have to be the jab, but the jab is usually the best tool for the job in terms of energy spent and risk/reward.
AMAZING BRO!!! Currently I can’t join a boxing gym because of my family’s problem with money, This channel is helping me prepare my self as only being self taught, Thank you!
5:40 Canelo khan knockout of the year is the quintessential that always comes to mind. One of the most well studied yet often under utilized defensive habitual movements. I suspect bc of the perceived lack of of effectiveness given you’ll do it dozens of times a fight only being effective a handful but that’s the different in a counter knockout or a few close rounds.
Very good and very well explained. I found 2 points after reading the comments, which I am mentioning again just to request you to do a similar video on "reading an opponent" and building reaction time. Exercises or habits that could help build better reflexes, eventually better reaction timing. Thank you.
Boxing is more scientific than it looks. An excellent video explaining the various methods to train for to minimise getting hit and to win fights. Only thing that concerns me as a person who does boxing for fitness and self defence is that the techniques might not work in self defence situation when facing someone trained Muay Thai.
Some really elite fighters showcased today! The best part of all these is that they're built in/automatic. Throwing any punch is always a risk, so moving your head and body out of the way immediately needs to be taught to all fighters!
Thank you for these video I’m learning so much from your videos keep it coming I love this kind of videos so much so many to learn from I appreciate your work and time your putting into this well together.
i think it is also important to mention "the art of reading your opp", because anticipation is hard to do if you dont have your eyes on opp , and of course, what you are looking for. This part is neglected in almost every system, but you only punch every couple of seconds but you have to read and focus on opp for 180 seconds nonstop
I want to start boxing but I don't have any good boxing gym near my town ,please can you make a video on how to get started and about the resources from where I can learn from exercises to drills to hitting bags and topics like training alone ...thank you
I haven't seen the Haney Linares fight, so maybe I shouldn't speak on it- but it's curious how Haney seemed defensively sound there and not in the Ryan Garcia fight. One would think that would carry over so I'm interested what factors were at play there. Especially since Ryan is notorious for his powerful left hook.
Great video. Beginners need to work on defense far more than throwing punches as it's defense that ensures your longevity & health can be maintained. Not getting Hit and Hitting, is the name of the game, not; hitting and not getting hit. The experts make it look so easy, but it takes anywhere from months to years to develop good defensive skills.
3:01 Devin definitely got overconfident in the fight with garcia too, if garcia wasn’t on the roids. He still might’ve won since devins defense wasnt up but those knockdowns were serious
Can anyone explain to me why “hit and don’t get hit” is even an idea? I don’t understand what it suggests in the context of a professional fight. I understand it in the amateurs, but not in prizefighting.
Why would you be trying to get hit? Pros block, slip, roll and weave all in efforts to not get hit and hit back... Like... What aren't you understanding?
Hitting your opponent accrues points and damage in both amateur and professional (prize) fights. So if you hit someone more than they hit you then you win the round and if you win more rounds then they do, you win the fight. You also lessen the damage you take while dealing more to your opponent. This decreases your chances of getting knocked out, cut, having your vision compromised, etc. If you were in a fight would you rather land 100 strikes and not get touched once, or land 100 and take 100?
You can measure distance with both hands, usually after the cross your weight is put on the rear leg and forward, both balance and anticipation is the answer.
You recommending the boxing app is ridiculous. The worst app for boxing one can imagine. Heavy bag combos? sure, you get 1 combo every 30 seconds. This way I can throw one combo 30s long and then switch to another one. What a waste of money.
