General strategic advice guide

That Joe Frazier fight was great and informative, especially for shorter, more compact fellows like me. Now I know why Tyson was such a big fan!

Congratz,its been a long time since i saw such a great thread in here.

there nothing to add, everything is explained properly.But heres a hint:

There are basically four type of fighters:

1. the puncher or the KO boxer
2. the pressure fighter
3. the maneuver boxer
4. the allrounder/universal boxer

All those type of boxers can be found on the good examples above. The next step is,how to box/fight them:

1. it takes some guts to fight such a guy. Since we know what a type of fighter he is, we have to "provoke" and evaluate whats coming: punchers arent usually technically versatile,the rely on their favourite punch or combo; say right cross,left upper.
once we know whats coming,we use feints to make him throw his bombs and let him (hopefully) miss . Then its time to give the appropriate answer.

2. those type of boxers arent usually the quickest. The key here is to cover him with fast and explosive 1-2, 1-2-3 combos and lateral movements.

3. this is where No 2 come into place. That type of boxer usually moves back and forth with punching/counterpunching. The key here is to keep him busy; put pressure on him and never stop. Having a good cover is needless to add,but many still do forget that. This requires a lot of stamina and is probably the toughest fighting style.

4. That type of boxer can pretty much do everything. Fortunately, they are very rare But here comes No 1 into place: since he is technically superior,it makes no sense to keep up. The key to brawl and rely on KO power.

Dont come into this forum very often but having seen this thread I should do alot more often!

Been a while since I was in the ring but looking back now I think the one type of fighter I struggled with the most was people who were stronger than me. The weight I fought at often meant I was fighting taller fighters. I was fairly comfortable fighting on the inside but found that when I came up against boxers who were physically stronger than me (not necessarily bigger hitters), they were able to tie me up on the inside and nullify my work. Anyone got any tips on how to not get tangled in a clinch when on the inside? I obviously hit the weights but found it harder to control my weight and didnt want to go up any further (I'm cursed with muscular legs and a fat arse, so I was never boiling down).

Cheers
