A few Qs about Martinez's hands-down style

Lol

 

Driving up your post count?

Im sure martinez dident use that style during the margarito loss as far as i can remember.

Iv tried fighting like that aswell, i find flicking the jab feels really natural but anything else is very difficult, hence why i tried a new style

 

He actually did use it against Margarito, he just wasn't as good at it as he is now.

 

Is it a fact that serg was actually drained at 147?

 

dont even try, that's as similar as trying to be like floyd mayweather and attempt the shell or someone trying to be like mike tyson. Learn the basics first, stick to it, then you'll eventually curve the basics to match your style. so dont try it unless you have some good reflexes and timing and a good knowledge of the basics.

 

if u got good muscle fibers and athletic like serg, u could be good at this. hes been doing it for a while. roy is another in his prime who was good with his hands low. but, u got to pick your spots well, or u will get creamed like linares or khan who r too offensive-minded

 

Coz ur not sexy enough to pull his style. (no homo) LOL

 

You need incredible stamina to maintain it round after round

 

Just like your trying to get it up :rofl:rofl:rofl:roflatschatschatsch

 

:deal

the hands travel a greater distance and you have to think more since movement/reflexes are now your defense, draining your energy

Oddly enough, the hands low style is really a way of defense.

Fighters dont use that style to generate punching power.

When you have your hands down low its easier to contort your body to positions your otherwise could'nt if your hands were raised high.

Its usually a figher who is fast and has great reflexes like Martinez or Roy Jones who can get away with having their hands down like that.

If you're not particulary fast nor have great reflexive instincts, you'll get killed attempting to implement that style.

Because your hands are down low, that style will also allow you to view incomng punches better.

Give it a try by yourself in a ring or on a flat.
Try contorting your body out of the way pretending there's an incoming punch coming, you'll find that having your hands down allows you to contort your body much further to avoid the shot.

Now try manuevering to different spots in a ring real fast.
Try it first with the hands down style.......
You'll find that its easier and faster to get to spots in a ring when your hands are low.
If your hands are high, it effects your coordination and you dont get there as fast and look much clumsier.


You gents have just been educated!

 

its just easier to utilize head movement when your hands are lower. Like i said if you havn't at least have good knowledge of the basics and bad athletiscm then you shouldnt do this.
