The Best Defensive Trick In Boxing-  

newbie here and I.cantnunderstand it looks like he got clocked by Canelo anyway

btw dude this vid was very informational

@@everydaydre1185 It is blocking attacks on both sides with one hand combo, in muay thai you can add elbow defense as well to those combos. That is it. As you can see he used his left arm to block body shots and at the same time he tried to block head shots from both sides with his right hand. This can go to many combos, for example when he recieved right hook which he blocks, he could body shot enemy with left hand, using his momentum of his hook, to inflict even more damage than normal body shot.

Jesus loves you so much he died for you! Turn to him before its too late!

Don’t forget George Foreman

I know, he is a legend bro. Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

0-3

And lost all of them, but honesty he wasnt ever the same after get cheated

He blocked his punches? He got hit a lot!

After he was beat by loaded gloves he wasn’t the same but I still like him as a boxer he one of my favorite boxers still loses don’t mean nothing look at pac man he lost a few fights but people still consider him as a great

He was something special

I’m gonna try this in sparring later 😂

@@tamaaa7745 how’d it go

How do you figure he protected his face? That overhand right landed flush on his forehead.

@@prettyboy1970 punch to the forehead is really not bad

I was gonna say that too.👍

Thank you for the info

Archie Moore was the real up-close and personal!💯🥊 He knew how to wear you down and make a man miss up close.

That isnt a standard cross guard, just standard mid range defense where your rear hand is held to your chin and on punch you flick it up and over. It sure does look like a cross guard though at the end. A cross guard like George Foreman upon his return doesn't move the rear hand like that, it is just an "X" that covers your upper 60% while you crouch.

canelo schooled him

Cuz Cotto is a legend for even Canelo

@@erikadrianpap2279 Canelo has fought other legends, he just stated this was the most enjoyable fight where he felt it was the truest form of boxing.

Canelo is a dangerous fighter. Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

Because he beat a puerto rican. 🇵🇷 understand the rivalry

​@@columbusohio72Again, not just the rivalry. He said it again in a recent interview. He said this match was the best fight he had been in and his favorite night of boxing. They are both using ring IQ and engaging the whole match like a game of chess. Purest form of boxing.

Not that hard if ur just doin defense.

Not hard. I tried it in a sparring session. It works, but it still hurts to me because my glove is resting against my head. I still felt the impact of the punch. Just not as much force.

@@BenjaminClaude gonna feel impact regardless, a block is just so you don’t take the full blow allowing you to return shots. Hard to counter taking full blows

Not hard at all block right side for hooks left side for right hand I mean pretty simple and affective when u mess up tho like cotto almost did that hook would land

I do this instinctively when someone comes over my jab with a straight right or overhand, the last line of defense. And only when I'm backing out coz I know that left hook is coming if I stay in range

How is he underrated? Ask any boxing fan and he will say Cotton is a legend.

🥊😁🥊

Yup

Yes sir

Damn right bro! I was looking for this comment

Was thinking the same

That fight was truly Amazing

Amazing fight at a catchweight. Canelo had the clear advantages

How was this an amazing fight....especially when Cotto was on his last leg of his career. How can it be considered a great fight...please explain 🤔

@@strumblackburn9395 it was a technical fight that had lots if action.. no brawling all technical.. im mexican and to me and lots of people Cotto won this fight even at the end of his career.. look at cotto fight vs mayweather how good he did. Cotto did way better vs technical boxers that with come forward pressure fighters like margarito and Pacquiau

@user-ft3nt3ho3k sir....with all due respect. I don't know how you or anyone who watched this fight could have thought this was a technical master piece. Canelo went after a weakened opponent to get the belt. Miguel was nothing compared to himself; the warrior who bloodied mayweather more than another opponent.....thats factual. A technical masterpiece is what LARA VS CANELO is. Many boxing fans say that Lara won this fight. Cotto beat up on an old and washed up Sergio Martinez to win his belt...no contest if you ask me.....just like how a young canelo beat cotto for his belt.......no contest..

Yes brother. Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

Cause its a cross?

@@am32ireland Dracula swipes his cape to cover his face.. same as Dracula guard

@@MYLYFESTORIES ah right. Thanks for proper explanation without a smartass dig like most RU-vid responses.

@@MYLYFESTORIES Started using this once I saw Buakaw's fights. It's like one of his go to long guard defenses.

Don't ever call Cotto Underrated. STOP USING THAT FU#KING WORD TO DESCRIBE EVERYONE !

How is corto under rated? People be throwing this word around so casually…Cotto is one of the best Puerto Rican fighters of all time…hall of famer…house hold name…everyone knows cotto can bang

Cotto is one if the most recognized Puerto Rican fighters there have been.

Tito TRINIDAD enters chat...

Cotto is a hall of famer wth you talking about

My boy knows what's up..

The Mongoose

Yes champ, that’s the name! Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

Frasier

Miguel Cotto y Juan Manuel Márquez siempre fueron mis favoritos!! Dos bestias en ese ring hermano! Soy de PR y lo que es el boxeador mexicano y boricua son mis favoritos!! Saludos desde PR mi hermano! Otro Alvarado acá al lado 🍻🇵🇷🇲🇽

Doesn't mean shit if he loses. A lot of tough fighters out there lose. Only champs win and deserve respect. Stop the participation trophies already.

Si mi amigo. Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

Canelo is a diff level fighter. Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

Why how does Canela hit? He couldn't even tickle an Old washed up Ggg. I remember he dehydrated Chavez Jr BIG TIME And he still couldn't even phaze him😂 Just saying You must be talking about his power when he fights the weak Bums like Say ders or Fielding And A lucky punch with Nobody Plant.🤣🤣

I know champ, well said. Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

Lmao i didnt notice that til i saw this comment. Took it all the way with the forehead

he fought a good 12 rd fight. he obviously didn't get hit that badly...

​@@PrevailD true but a hit to the forehead can break a fighters hand/wrist easily. The front part of the skull is very hard and fighters break their hand on that bone. Main thing is his jaw and eyes that are protected. 👍

@@khairt1731 That’s very true. It counts as a hit and def wasn’t comfy for his head although better than hitting knockout areas

His right hit his hand crazy he did not get hit

Yes bro. Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

Judges dont count punches its usually the CompuBox. Judges is focus on the 10-point must scoring system wherein who gets the 10 and who geta the 9 score. Then if go to the distance a boxes who scored perfect 10 in all rounds will get 120 and the opponent gets 108 (120-108)

​@@Angelo-ix9to lol you know what he was referring... and it wasn't compu stats

And hugs Too

Cotto still lost this fight clear as day no matter what

That elbow right in the middle as defense....

Floyd Mayweather does it all the time

@@shortfuse1981486 that's crazy I have not noticed it but trust me I believe it. Just ain't never paid attention to it.

Not the standard

Nah. Joshua clottey ain't defending like that lol

If you ever get a chance to go a gun with pros you'll see that this is the standard. Not every fighter follows it but they're all taught to defend this way

@@silverblackguerrilla4370 no they’re not I worked with many pros the standard is left hand blocks left side it’s usually the younger fighters that use this defense trying to emulate Floyd and of course the pros will make you pay for it

@@Xenlacasa45 What? You think this the Mayweather shoulder roll?

True!!!

Despues de Margarita, Miguel Cotto nuca fue el mismo, fue todo lo contrario fue empeorando.

what are you guys high on? cotto fucked up margarito on the rematch. cotto was never broken just got old and needed to hang up the gloves. didnt lose heart and technique.

Margarito robbed cotto of a perfect record . After that fight cotto would cut and swell up like a balloon 🎈. At least he got his revenge but still robbed him of a perfect record . Even Mayweather said cotto was one of his toughest fights .

I remember being so happy when Margarita won, then being pissed off when I heard he cheated

He did not run from no body he fight every one cotto Puerto Rico hero 👏 love you cotto

Canelo

Pacquiao will slay Canelo. Easy PC.

Canelo will whoop Pacquiao

@CARLOS MENDOZA Canelo will destroy any Pacquiao era...too big, to elusive, too strong and Canelo's technique is superior and scientific.

@CARLOS MENDOZA after Dinamita knocked him out. Canelo's timing comes to play when Pacquiao comes forward (and he does that all the time)

😂

pacquiao punches are not predictable compared to canelo's punches who know exactly where each punch is going to come from. Respect from this 2 fighters cotto and canelo 💪🏼🥂

And canelo couldnt beat floyd 🖕🤣🖕

Pacquiao was on Steroids!!! All his WINNING career

​@@goldap0987That's very true and you gotta give Manny the respect cause many people said before the fight Cotto will surely win even the commentators do but changed after Cotto got knock down

Cotto is a beast. Also, I’ve just uploaded a video which is like a HBO style documentary about Gervonta Davis… check it out!

It's called training and drilling. It's not magic

All glove, sorry

@@KOken100x Canelo best him for a reason, 💯

@@zaloA. didn't say Canelo didn't win, but both punches in this clip were blocked/deflected

@@KOken100x Of course he won.

Not disputing that his style was his own, but his signature left hook was an exact copy of Tito's. It's now called the Puerto Rican hook. Xander Zayas uses it too, which is a good idea.

No lol

Yes lol. I can pretty much guarantee he's seen this combination from Canelo before and planned accordingly. Lol

​@@DoubleJabSlipRightHandSlip, duck, right hook body, right hook head. Your right hand hits the floor, then your ass, then the back of your head. Lol

Glad someone else noticed.

I saw cotto winning

Must been Marquez cause his big Canelo hater !! Cotto face was disfigured in that fight not as bad as margarito but damm near close to it 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@jrochoa161 no wasn't Marquez but cotto controlled the fight with his jab,canelo never even hurt cotto
