    I have found that because i consume less energy in the ring but bring more accuracy and better strategy i can usually outplay anyone that does not rush my game. Why is this style of boxing not more popular?
    I use very ring-dominating positioning.
    I can take shots with little effect but land straight counters.
    My footwork is steady and slow steps forcing the opponent against ropes and corners.
    lots of body movement with little footwork.
    Very calculated risk assessment.
    I am a strong prospect at the moment and feel like i bring something new to the gym.

    Opponents aren't usually the type to accommodate game plans.

    if i have a gameplan i fight it. if you have one you fight it. y would my gameplan accommodate yours?

    in the ams unless youve seen your opponent fight the only gameplan you can really go off is the size of your opponent. since im tall id obviously use my jab and stay outside. i wouldnt try and go inside with a smaller person. in the second and third rounds you can alter your gameplan to what works best for that opponent. but you cant expect someone to let you fight your fight and not **** up your plan.

    I'm guessing you're a fan of using alot of head movement and slipping/dodging punches. I like to box the same way.

    I feel like some people are born with natural risk calculation that works in split seconds, and others need to learn it. Because I always felt comfortable just moving my head a little bit to avoid punches, even though sometimes it doesnt work and I get clocked lol.

    Exactly. And we dont lose our powerbase by dodging, like moving your feet does. And i am switchfoot, so if they push i just step back into right handed and play counters.

    :good but if you're so worried about your energy consumption why not just attack the other guys body? Pffft

    bob fitzsimmons used to have people help him from the stool between rounds to conserve energy, you should try that.

    Why?

    That sounds a bit extreme, but technically it is a gesture in the correct place.

    Same style I prefer also. I love to switch hit.
    I like coming in low with body shots then uppercuts also.
    Try that out in sparring if ya don't already

    Because the way you describe your skills in your initial post proves you're a boxing god.

    Uh. Okay? I hope that was some sort of compliment because if not, that was the worst attempt at an insult i have seen yet on the internet.
