Overlooked Fundamentals?

most boxers dnt bring thier hand back after jabbing

 

most boxers dont jab period. or at least not enough.

the most over looked fundamentals? jab, head movement, body work

 

Agree with both of the above posts. It is the basics, the little things that are going to make a big difference in the course of a boxers career whether amateur or professional. Once you master the basics and they are second nature to you, then you can begin to expand to create your own style that works best for you as an individual.

 

Not bringing the jab straight back as others have said. Squaring up, failing turning punches over, not holding your damn hands up, not keeping your chin tucked, and just overall bad punching technique are seen in boxing all the time.

 

keeping form both offensively and defensively

 

I agree with the other posts. And also fighters not knowing how to defend themselves properly.

 

conditioning.

 

Footwork would be one, specifically the positioning relative to the opponent.

 

Many people I spar can be completely shut down with some lateral movement.

 

getting off first.

 

Understanding the laws of Gravity :yep

 

The biggest problem I see is a lack of fluidity and smoothness. Everyone's so herky jerky.

 

Fluidity & smoothness take time, once a boxer is comfortable in the ring & feels more settled he'll iron out the stress that causes solidness
