How Do You Neutralize One Shot KO Power?!

Back the puncher up, smother him, and work the body

 

If opponents a right hand bomber you move to your right, left hand high. Most importantly you keep mobile to not be a clear target.

If it's a left hooker like Danny Garcia, then you can use the philly shell or shoulder roll with constant jabbing doesn't matter where you jab. Last thing you want to do is hook with a hooker. Best thing to do is paw with a jab to lure them in with their hooks, but always keep your right high.

Clinching, holding, rough housing.

Great recent examples fighters neutralizing or using ko punchers power against themselves are Morales-Pacquiao I, Mayweather-Corrales, and Hopkins-Trinidad.

 

Well, the exact way to do it is going to depend on the attributes of guy facing the puncher. But here are some good general guidelines:

Always use your jab. Keep it strong, never lazy, and bring it back quickly to try not to give him an opportunity to counter over it.

Make him move and have to turn to follow you all the time. Most power punchers need to be balanced and going into a shot to get the full benefit of their power out of it. Most will be nowhere near as effective if they can't get their feet planted and/or move their body into the punch. (In other words, stepping forward as they deliver it, or able to turn their body with the shot.)

Always move away from their stronger hand, and circle rather than go straight back whenever humanly possible.

Tie up whenever you're on the inside, then if possible wrestle them around (there are a lot of sneaky ways to tire someone out in a clinch or while wrestling for position up close) and push them backward. Again, most punchers are ineffective whenever they have to go backward.

Most punchers move in relatively straight lines. Use the angles against them, come at them from directions they're not expecting and them move away before they can do anything about it.

If possible, go over footage of them in detail with someone who knows how to break it down, how to notice unconscious movements a fighter makes that show when and where he's going to through a punch, the hitches they might have in their punching motion, the way that their body movement or how they step might tell you what they're going to do, how to break up their footwork, etc.

 

Either you fight him on the Inside Crowd him so he don't have room to muster up his Power Punch!!

Or Stay on the outside and Box him Stay out his range every-time he throw a Range finding jab u Counter him!! And Always Stay off the Ropes....

 

Oh, and one more thing, regarding range. With the exception of guys who are unusually tall/have long arms for their weight ala Hearns and Arguello, most punchers tend to have that 1 punch power only at mid-range. Too far out and you don't get the snap on you punches, too close and the blow tends to be smothered and is ineffective.

Therefore you have to know and control the distance, know where that power is effective, and always keep them out of the comfortable distance where they do the most damage. And it's not always where you would think either.

For example, a lot of people are under the mistaken impression that Tyson was a good infighter. They think because he was built short and stocky with short arms, he'd be at an advantage on the inside. Truth is that even at his best, when the fanboys say he was unbeatable, when he had Kevin Rooney in his corner, etc. Tyson was a shitty infighter. He was lazy as **** when he got up nose to nose with another guy, and in a number of fights let himself get tied up and wrestled up close for rounds at a time. Give him anywhere from one to three steps back from that range though, and he was lethal, especially as he was coming in.

 

I wouldn't take the fight, S

You need a strong jab or a good check left hook. You gotta keep the punchers mind occupied with at least one of those punches. Preferably both since the jab can be countered by overhand rights, which is why well schooled boxers know how to turn that jab into a hook or hook off the jab. Those shots are to make ur opponent constantly have to reset, that way their feet are never planted enough to land their best shots. And just as important is to gain respect by showing ur own power early and making sure they know u can also hurt them.

Once youve done this, the guy with ko power will have to get a little wreckless and/or try to get off first. Then you just rinse and repeat and setting traps/take advantage of them being off balance or out of position(counter-punching) Good eye contact, feints and rolling with the punches are very important also.

Now thats how you do it off the backfoot. If u wanna neutralize them without fighting off the backfoot, just do what Molina did vs Kirkland, close the gap asap and completely smother ur opponent.

 

I think that was Fight night round 2, but yes thats an accurate description lol.

 

It was every ****ing Fight Night, each one with a press release before about how they've listened to the consumers and they've taken it out only for it to be revealed that all they've actually done is renamed it or in the case of Round 4 made it so much ****ing worse. **** EA.

 

You gotta box them! Or you can do what Floyd does and just don't fight the guy

 

Movement (feet and upper body), change your rhythm, don't let your opponent get his feet set.

Also, big punchers are vulnerable right after they've thrown their hardest shot. When they throw it their whole body contracts into the motion but just after they've thrown the punch, their body relaxes and their nervous system is not ready to be hit. THAT's when you should hit them, like B-Hop did to Tito :

1. Don't get hit. Eaiser said than done though.

2. They say the one that gets you is the one you don't see. So stay focused.

3. Conditioniing/strength

4. Hydration

5. Face it sometimes if you get hit just right or enough times. There's really nothing you can do.
