You think so ? A lot of people say head movement I do a lot of footwork drills and still find people telling me to focus on head movement even though I’m pivoting, changing angles, and keeping distance
Head off the line and head will follow, that’s something no coach has ever been able to say. This may not have been as useful for everyone else as much me but this is very good information.
I always try this in sparring. Have to have pretty good timing to just pull it out of your ass in an exchange. When you do manage to pull it off you feel like Canelo
I always pivot on the rear leg with that scenario. I just feel more comfortable doing it that way although i know im not in a position to counter once ive spun out
This would be WAAAAAY down on the list of techniques the average person should care about or even bother learning. If you're dodging punches with this technique, this means you've mastered all the more practical and easier to implement techniques, because something like this will break down under pressure and will not be your "go to" technique precisely because it's so complex and impractical.
You can throw a lead hook during the turn to body or wherever. But head makes more sense cause you can control your opponent. It’s called a “cuba/Soviet” step check hook uses this exact movement. Some of the best users are Terence Crawford and Floyd. Most famous example was from Floyd v Hatton imo. Your throw it during the 1st phase(left foot out) Punch lands when your foot lands. Pivot out. You can also just use the hook to push the opponent past you(Crawford v Porter)
You can step with the right foot out and it will take your whole body to that side. Leave your left foot where it’s at and throw your right hand and step out to the right at the same time. It’s not so much of a pivot as it is a side step. Same concept, slightly different outcome.
That's more of a Cuban/Soviet Technique...Pivoting off the lead leg...where's American/UK Pivots using the rear leg. When I first saw the lead pivot; Def fell in love with it...Tho it was a bit odd to Drill at first for me.
Are you a southpaw? This’ll work to evade and orthodox’s right hand or lead hook. As you step, underhook and push with your lead arm to gain acceleration. Lol Terence Crawford absolutely abuses this maneuver when in southpaw v aggressive opposition, often hooking during. Study Crawford v Porter! Round4 @ :32 is about as good as it gets.
The explaining is good, but as a beginner I want to SEE how it is done. This clip only showed just once what he is talking about. I need to see more than just 2 seconds.
