I’ve learned so much from this channel. Timing is the best skill. Capitalizing on your opponents tendencies and being a precise and accurate puncher is the most desirable attribute offensively, imo. Best boxing channel on RU-vid!
Tank proved that in the Ryan fight . There's footage of Tank practicing the well-timed counter to the chin and the body . That put Ryan on the canvas. They said Ryan is fast . In that exchange, while being pressured by Ryan. Tank was faster to the chin. Then to the body . They never give Tank his props for his boxing IQ.
I don't understand how you could watch tank work and come to that conclusion. He's a very cerebral fighter. 35 is a shark tank right now I hope we get to see the best compete against one another. One of them could really cement their legacy by beating rest of the guys in the division. Accomplishing that will not be an easy feat.
@@Ronnie.sincity702. It’s because his crazy punching power overshadows it. How many people glanced over Mike Tyson’s defense, because they were mesmerized by his punching power?
@@davonbenson4361 Tyson actually had some pretty amazing defense when cus was alive and training him. I would even say his defense along with the fact that he was a great two handed threat were his best attributes when he was at the top of his game.
Tank doesn’t get the recognition because he doesn’t fight the best. At 126 he didn’t fight Gary but that’s understandable he only fought there for a few fights but there was no excuse not to fight Berchelt/ Loma at 130 nor Loma, Teo at 135. He could’ve fought Taylor at 140 but dropped the wba to go and fight Rolly, yes ROLLY.
Damn Gems you went thru so many hrs of fights to catch all these moments!! I’m writing a Poem on TIME & I’ve had to study so much it’s amazing!! Beautiful Breakdown Gems 💎💯💯🥊🥊🔥🔥🔥
Great video. When talking timing one must give a nod to Juan Manuel Marquez, one of boxing's greatest overachievers. He often was at a disadvantage with speed and power, but his timing was so good he rarely lost. So many opponents walked right into that right hand lead, I can't remember them all. Timing and accuracy.
honestly the best out here Most channels I’ve seen are breaking down WHAT is happening You always break down the WHY and that shit is what people want to see
Brilliant. Not many fans actually understand how important timing and pattern recognition is and not everything comes down to pure technique, power, speed etc. When a smart fighter knows how to set traps, set the pace and gets his timing - athleticism alone stops working. I wish boxing coaches taught their amateur/pro fighters more about how important it is to have the mindset of reading/picking up on your opps tendencies and learn how to exploit them.
I remember you made a single video just for Lopez vs Commey. When you showed the clip again, it Reminded me of this sentence" Go to jab, statue, right hand" Superb work. 🙏
yo great job. This is the reason why I watch fights at least three times before I make a comment. Put the fight on slow motion. Great job my brother 👍🏿 👍🏿👍🏿
Nice one! Great examples, man. Especially that Martin vs Rivera bit, where you can see how Martin progressively made the adjustments and then ultimately put Rivera on his butt. Beterbiev vs Yarde was a cool example as well. Having such heavy hands allows him to use that element of surprise very effectively, because that overhand of his travels such a short distance.
Not trying to test the copyright stuff, but you’re right. But more specifically it was timing in terms of trapping off a control. Perhaps I’ll make another vid explaining that. I touched on the relationship between traps and timing in the Crawford part but it was brief
Nah fr best breakdowns to me! Even in the fight - Ryan struggled a lot with Tanks lateral movement! Tank circled and pivot a lot in the match , Ryan struggled to get his offense going because of that.. couldn’t get his jab going .. that frustrated him and Tank got the KO
Crawford’s example in this vid. Control-bait(the trap)-pull counter. What Commey was trying to do with Teo in this vid. Jab-bait-overhand. Notice Teo fell for the trap twice and Commey just missed.
Can't say enough how much I enjoy the excellent description, followed by a slow motion replay of exactly what was described. This seems so simple of a format... and it is, but I think people overcomplicate things. This format is simple, and it's all the better for it. Anyway, many people don't realize that high IQ is not just being able to figure out your opponent, but also knowing exactly when to pull the trigger, and actually pulling that trigger when necessary. That's why a complete fighter makes it to the top. If you have the ring IQ, but not the fast twitch reflexes, your timing might just get timed. If you have the fast twitch reflexes but not the IQ, you'll get outsmarted. As we saw in the Tank/Garcia fight. Another thing to note is that this is a great example of why having a good coach in your corner is of high importance. A good coach will catch these patterns and relay them to his fighter between rounds. So, if the fighter happens to not pick it up while fighting, he can still leave his corner with more to work with than when he sat down.
Great job young fella. Hopefully more younger fight fans will start subscribing to your channel. I know there are many pros who watch your station, hopefully they will start shouting you out soon as well!
You forgot to mention how timing is used outside the ring as well. Like recognizing the pattern of an aging fighter or a losing streak to catch and opponent at the right time
I like the timing of Bivol in his fight against Canelo. He would jab him every time that he was setting up and threw his timing off for the whole fight.
Floyd was asked if Boxing is just as much mental as it is physical. He said it's more mental than physical. You can also see from these examples that more than a fighter's color, nation or physique, his mind is his greatest asset.
After watching this it’s quite clear how essential it is to have a trainer who will see these things from the outside and have a fighter who will listen, example on Saturday how Ryan led with a left hook instead of a right hand as joe goossen was trying to tell him
Content like this breaking terms often thrown around with no context, is a brilliant move. THIS is what educated the masses on Boxing looks like, THIS is what people who genuinely care for the sport want the rest to understand. Not the random babble Joe Tessitore be talking about.
Love this Channel. I'd love to see a Breakdown of the late great legendary Salvador Sanchez. He's my 3rd favorite fighter after Ali and Ray Leonard. Back in the 70s we'd see great fights for free. He could do it all.
I kept trying to figure out how Crawford set that knock out up . Appreciate this video, your channel helping my boxing iQ . Boxing is both simple and complex .
Excellent video yet again, when Gervonta knocked down Ryan the first time, Ryan went on to attack 3 times in a row with a lead hook. The third time is when Gervonta countered him.
Great collection of examples! This is good tape study. I talk about this on my channel as well, boxing is about pattern recognition! Keep up the good work 👊
He calls it timing, but I call it making adjustments. In which this is why it's good for a boxer to have a Million ways in how they set up offense, and defense. So that way their opponent is always seeing different looks that they're not necessarily prepared for.
Brother, your eye and your breakdowns are brilliant. We appreciate what you share. I’m wondering which team(s) has you on retainer. Respect #BoxingGemsBeKnowin #boxingfanfirst
Yes, when boxing pundits say "Timing beats Speed", it includes the part about pattern recognition. Thanks, Gems! The casuals get this mixed up oftentimes. That said, I can see why folks in chats/discussions would sometimes get this mixed up. The analogy I like to use is when a bouncer at a club says the phrase "I need to see ID". When people are being ID'ed, broken down technically, the process is essentially two parts -- authentication and then authorization. First, a person is authenticated to verify they are who they claim to be. This can be a photo ID or thumbprint to distinctly reference the true individual. Second comes authorization, which ensures the person has attained the proper privilege levels such as being over 21. In boxing, phrases like "He Timed him" constitutes the two-part process of pattern recognition and timing. The pattern (rhythm steps, 1-2 combinations, etc.) is first recognized, acknowledged, and downloaded. It is then followed up with authorization for a precisely placed maneuver at the time of the pattern. The maneuvers can come in either offensive (left hook, uppercut) or defensive forms (pull, slips). Personally, I would authorize a punch in the mouth. Cuz I recognized everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
Your editing skills are great! In particular around 7:10 and on while you explained Really helped seeing his feet light up and watching him get stuck in mid air.
Been watching you for a long time Ryan, thanks for the time you been putting in and I'm joyous to see your channel growing as well, it's great to see it's been helping many as it is for me. Keep it up Gems!
Timing--or what other sports calls anticipation--is a functiom of athletic IQ and a particularly effective countermeasure to inborn speed. But I wouldn't go so far as to say timing beats speed. Sometimes speed kills (see Rnd 1 Pacquiao v Marquez 1); sometimes timing negates speed (see Rnds 2 -12 Pacquiao v Marquez 1). If timing did in fact trump speed as a universal law, Morales would've never lost to Pacquiao and guys like me would have gone a lot further than we in actuality did. All the same, excellent video. As per usual.
Perspective. We can say in round 1 Marquez didn’t have “time” to get down PAC’s timing before the speed overwhelmed him. But after round 1, he had it down hence what happened in the rest of the fight. But I see what you’re saying. You still need the tools to capitalize after you recognize the pattern. Morales was losing those tools as he got older.
Man, Bud Crawford is alone different. Avanesyan also fought back against Crawford’s counterattack. Contrary the other fighters in the video.(They get caught but didn’t change their pattern unlike Avanesyan) But Bud adjusted it in short time and caught Avanesyan with the optimal counter.
How do you get better at recognising patterns when you are also trying not to get hit? Is it a subconscious thing? What can I do to get better at seeing patterns? Love your videos man
Controlling distance and mastering tricks like feigning and sometimes wide stances to allow you to lean in and bait punches that you can slip easier are some key tools to help you stay ahead of your opponent and get them to lunch when you want so you can better predict what's coming, avoid the attack easier, and read what's coming at you while partly influencing your opponent to do things you can prepare for more easily. I'm not a boxer so there's not a ton I could explain in dettail. But great defense, countering, and what not in all sports is generally about trying to influence your opponent to do what you have the best ability to stop then building on that. Once you see what their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd options are and the order they put things together, you can more easily control the action.
In the video you can see that fighters react to or create a situation, observe the results, and confirm their observations through repetition (most of the time). Defensively, like in the Joshua v Usyk 1 or Teo v Commey examples, the fighter is being attacked a certain way a few times, recognizes that the attack is coming the same way each time, and picks a moment to counter. Offensively, like in the Loma v Martinez example, a fighter attacks and observes the defense, then adjusts to capitalize. It's probably easier to focus consciously on patterns you force in your opponent. Try an attack, a feint, or even just a level change, and see what the other man does. If he responds consistently, force the situation and exploit the response. I would say doing this on defense is a little bit higher level. It puts you at risk of getting your ass beat while you're gathering data. Not to mention a true counterpuncher needs some natural gifts, so if that's your plan, be honest with yourself. Understand also that a higher level contest involves pattern recognition, conditioning the opponent, and even pattern breaking. Floyd said something like "I'm gonna do this to you, and then when you start catching on to that I'm gonna start doing something else."
Fans call fighters that are the best at this “slow starters”. It’s part of the reason you see “feel out rounds”. Be defensively sound and be observant, then go to work.
@@BoxingGems yeah I agree with you Davis is more defensively responsible it’s just Martin punch output has it close hopefully after tank Garcia fight all these fighters start fighting each other well stay bless fam
