Another stupid question from MURDR

No.

No wonder you keep getting injured.

 

One thing I will say about a boxing gym is that it will give you some great motivation and you'll feel the atmosphere in it, a lot more than a normal gym anyway.

Edit: not suggesting you start training on an injury.

 

Boxing uses your legs alot more then people would expect. Don't bother its pointless risking further risk for a month headstart.

 

Na, don't mess with that ****, just wait - It's not too long. I appreciate you seem keen to get started, but it's honestly not worth risking further injury.

 

Virus... cutting to the quick!

 

Its better to train smart than to train hard.

What I mean by that is: Don't ****ing injure yourself.

But, like 99% of fighters, you probably won't listen. Its something most people have to learn the hard way.

 

Can't hurt I suppose.

 

Unfortunately, there isn't going to be that much you can learn without actually doing it.

Allow me to illustrate with an example-

Everyone knows "where to put their hands", as it's not particularly difficult to figure out. Then they start throwing punches, (or having them thrown at them), and they immediately drop the hands. It takes some real live practice to truly learn how to guard, and to break the bad habits.

Here's my suggestion, since you do seem motivated: Watch a lot of boxing. Observe everything, admire nothing.

 

Hmm... I'd spend more time watching a multitude of styles. You're not looking for a guy you can copy. What you should be looking for are telegraphs.

Observe fighters defensively, and try to see if you can tell when they're going to throw, how they're going to move, and if you can detect any patterns. The idea is that you should be getting into the mindset of figuring out your opponent's techniques and flaws. Seeing a wide variety of styles will familiarize yourself with this.

Trying to pick a fighter to mimic at this point is really pointless- you won't know what suits you until you're in the ring yourself. A lot of people try to pick their favorite fighter and they don't have the build for the style- so don't fall into that trap.

For your build, I guess I'd watch the Klitschkos or Lewis. If you want more classic fights, Ali, Louis, Liston, and Gene Tunney are all worth a look. Remember: these guys are professionals though. Try to stay basic for now.
