    its like how you get going in a fight like you can get a good rythm going if your getting inside getting ur shots off and getting out whereas you'd lose your rythm if your timings off or your getting beat to the punch

    Long rhythm is for outside boxers it's bouncing back and forth without moving your feet. Short rhythm is inside boxers moving side to side without moving the feet. For example watch Ali vs Frazier, Leonard vs Duran, Robinson vs Lamotta.

    The purpose of rhythm is to keep your head moving and keep your opponent from getting in an easy potshot. Boxers never remain completely still.

    I thought rhythm would be the description of the tempo you are fighting and the patterns of movement you are doing. My trainershave said dont get in a set rhythm for too long as you will be set up for punches as your movement become anticiapted by your opponent due to you doing the same thing.

    Only get in a rhythm when your not moving your feet. This makes it hard for your opponent to lock on. Don't get in a rhythm when your moving or punching only when standing stationary.

    It's up to you how fast you move your head. The best thing to do is to keep changing your tempo, that way it becomes harder for your opponent to time you.

    ray robinson used to say that he could "out rhythm any fighter." according to him...he used to do everything to a rhythm. he would run to a rhythm, skip rope to a rhythm, fight to a rhythm..etc..etc...so when ur in the ring...u should try to disrupt ur opponents rhythm and make him fight to ur rhythm.
