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

It’s not a boxing gym, it’s a commercial gym. He was just doing some cardio based stuff so didn’t get to see him box.

 

You don't really know what you're looking at if you don't understand why I picked any of them. I can explain it if you asked.

No one's nationality had any bearing on me picking them at all. That's irrelevant. Again, who would you have liked me to pick?

He's improved since the Wlad fight and Klit fought well and is an ATG. This doesn't prove what you think it does. Size ALONE doesn't give you anything. You actually have to use those advantages. Which is skill. Which is what AJ is good at. Which is what I said. Which is why I named him. Do you understand now?

Resume doesn't reflect skill, technique does. Based on technique Andrade APPEARS solid right now but he does have lapses which is why I'm reluctant to mention but the lapses could come from the competition. Andrade fights at his best when he's limiting what you can do which becomes more impressive the better your opponent is, assuming you're good enough to compete against better fighters.

 

Boxing isn't just "Stand on the outside (or inside) and throw punches! You'll win if you do that!"

That isn't technique. That's why you consider your point to be a good one and why you're phrasing it all like this. That's why I mean about ignoring context and nuance. The context for the Garcia fight is very different because of the size difference which takes precedence over that positioning because it creates a different set of advantages and potential dangers. Also good positioning is good positioning because of what you can do in that position and what your opponent can do which is very situational. That's nuance and it depends entirely on what you're doing next and what you're able to do in the first place. There is way more than "keep your foot on the outside in the southpaw vs orthodox match"

 

dude, youre wrong, youve been wrong the whole time, people have repeatedly told you youre wrong, its time you start facing the fact, youre wrong.

 

Been impressed with prograis but think Taylor is superb. His footwork shot selection and power all looks legit been moved along nicely against likes ohara davies and Victor pistol then dealt with ryan Martin pretty comfortably . Taylor is couple inches taller and bigger reach think be close fight but Taylor on points Would love to see the fight happen but looks as if the wbss is in trouble and if rumours to go by it looks as if Taylor will be fighting Ricky burns in May with inoue on undercard in Glasgow

 

Honestly that fight has bigger story than a lot of people talk about. It wasn't THAT one sided to begin with. People act like every round was a 10-8 or Naz never won any of them. He clearly lost but he didn't get the **** kicked out of him. Anyway, here are some details about it.

He was overweight prior to the fight, didn't take training seriously, wasn't in good enough shape to flip over the ropes as he always did, i THINK he was depressed but I can't remember. Few more things. Basically it wasn't just Barrera that he was fighting that night.

 

pretty much everything that could have been corrected in a rematch... if thats what was actually the problem.

 

Eh when the fire is gone the fire is gone. It's rare to see a fighter decline then come back to the level they were before. One time performances are one think but if I recall correctly he having a lot of issues after...something. The death of his trainer? I don't remember.

 

that is the laziest way of saying "my theory holds no water, but if i blame it on desire, you cant prove me wrong". naz knew he was not at elite level after that fight, and he didnt want the rest of the world to know it, so he left enough unsaid that guys like you can shape the story to whatever theyre comfortable with.
he came, he saw, could not conquer and left.

 

How is what the trainer said, evidence both from the fighter and other fighters, and common sense lazy?

He was fighting worse. He fought even worse in the next fight then retired. If I recall correctly he didn't perform that well in his fight before Barrera. Reasons were given that made sense. This has happened to other people. Why do you think there is no correlation?

 

what exactly do you expect his trainer to say? "hey, naz sucks so much that even a bad ass trainer like myself cant get him to beat an elite boxer, so hes better off retiring"?
