Boxing Footwork: Essential do's and dont`s!

I haven't been paying attention to him at all sadly. Same with Prograis. Who appears better out of the two and how do you think their match would go?

 

Pirog hand good footwork.

Big George also had good and efficient footwork.

Great example in Katie Taylor she is something else, she is as natural a boxer as I’ve ever seen, she so comfortable in the ring and her footwork is a product of that, interesting to see how awkward she seems in any other environment.

 

It looks more than shy she looks arkward imo, when you see her in the ring shes like a duck in water.... I wonder if Iam the first person on this forum to use the word ‘duck’ in a positive way lol. Not seen many dd interviews tbh. But I think with Katie it’s as if shes itching to be training or fighting anything else is just filling time.

 

The Garcia analogy was intentionally simplistic.

But you contradict yourself.

Exactly. For example; you are supposed to seek lead leg dominance vs a southpaw by getting you leg on the outside. But a lot of times fighters actually seek the inside position because it opens up angles(As Judah did vs Floyd).
The only time you dont do something is when it doesn't work.

 

That isn't really accurate. Its not his style that was a problem, it was that he was too small. Spence had a 4in reach advantage and 3in height advantage. Spence used his advantages where Mikey had none. There isn't a whole lot Garcia could have done. You guys keep acting like small guys can beat big guys if they want to hard enough lol.

 

No, the second point is overly simplistic. Simply putting a leg on the outside or the inside in itself doesn't do a lot.

 

How wasn't the style any issue? He got completely shut out. He had no answers to Spence's tactics.
Yes, he was smaller but he had absolutely nothing to offer. He had no idea how to adapt.

At least Khan and Brook had some success before being taken out.

 

He had nothing to offer because Spence was much bigger, longer, and stronger. Khan, seriously? He got lit the **** up for going into fight fast. His gameplan was to get as many points early on since Clenelo is slow to start. And you think that was a better plan? rofl. And ****, Brook is no better he got his face broken for thinking he could hang with GGG.

 

What?
The conventional wisdom is to seek the outside angle. Everyone knows this! Yet the inside angle also works. I am using simple points to make simple yet true arguments.
What the leg positioning does is open up angles. How is that

?

You know what Spence did to Mikey? He kept his lead leg and toes squared up with Mikey's. He didn't look for the inside not the outside angle. This meant he could use his reach advantage to the maximum. That's why he was able to keep touching Mikey´s gloves with his jab and keep him occupied. Mikey had no idea what to do. Spence maximized his physical advantages.

 

Want to see a foot positioning battle, watch Pac/Marquez.

 

****ing hell!
You are making it seem like Spence bullied Mikey physically, yet for the vast majority he kept Mikey on the outside.
And I brought up Khan and Brook because they found some success. They were good enough to get their punches off. Mikey couldn't even do that. Spence completely outclassed him.
