    Funny thing. My son's friend asked me to train him and he is about 6'2 and 205 and wants to fight at LHW. Point is, I was going over how many boxers don't implement feints in there arsenal. The kid is 17 and knows martial arts, wrestling, and some boxing. My son has seen him knock others out in the streets in self defense of course. If I take him on, I will be helping myself also by getting in shape besides lifting weights.

    I thought Camacho was pretty good at feints back in the day and of course PBF is great at it. It really sets up many punches. I use to do it a lot when I use to box and even in street fights.

    this is what i believe to be very true, MANY fighters are always missing one important skill in boxing. Some fighters lack footwork, some fighters lack the headmovement, a lot completely throw away any feinting especially the lower class boxers. The fighters that do put it all together have so much success.

    Rigondeaux is unique with his feints, as well as conventional he also fully extend his arms like rehearsing his shots.

    It completely messes up his opponents timing, watch the 5th round of his last fight with Kennedy (18.20)

    Marquez, Floyd, Rigo

    Marquez put on a feinting masterclass against Pacquiao in their third fight, Pacquiao didn't have the patience or ring IQ to solve it

    His upper body movement combined with his disguised punching and feinting was beautiful and really helped him dictate the pace of the fight

    *marquez feints hard to throw left hook to the body*

    *Pacquiao covers up*

    *Marquez feints to throw uppercut to the body*

    *Pacquiao covers up*

    *Marquez feints again to the body*

    *Pacquiao, frustrated by the constant feinting, reacts passively, neglecting to cover up*

    *Marquez turns the feint into an actual combo, catching Pacquiao unawares as he is expecting another feint*

    This happened repeatedly throughout the fight, you can see after the mid rounds Pacquiao starts to look incredibly frustrated and mentally tired

    if I have time on it I will make a thread
