Best style of boxing for starting late into the sport?

It depends on what features and qualities you possess. You might have a long reach, you might be fast, you might have good footwork. Its very personal.

 

Ricdog is asking... well, for a friend, of course.

 

You can't change the way you naturally fight.

 

This.

No matter how hard you try to train and focus, more often than not you revert to what you do.

 

Bhop started after his 20s. You need to be a fast learner if you are to have any sort of success in the ring, so being aware and taking advantage of your qualities is always a major concern.

 

you should start watching the styles of the greats. pick one that better suits your physical assets and mind set

 

It is exactly as this man says. A good boxing coach/trainer will look at your physical attributes and consider your strengths and weaknesses and train you to fight in a style that is best suited for you. The key is practice practice and practice some more. Boxing is like chess my friend easy to learn but incredibly difficult to master. The key thing to remember is this.Trust your coach.You have done your due diligence and found a good coach now you must trust them.Then be honest with yourself. What are your goals.How hard are you willing to work how much are you willing to sacrifice to get where you want to be.If you are looking to take part in a couple of amateur bouts then be the best amateur you can be. If your aspirations are greater remember this.The loftier the ambitions the greater the sacrifice.Even if you are in your twenties there is no reason why you will not succeed if you are determined enough. I wish you well my friend.

 

It is a disadvantage but it can be done.And we are assuming that the man is looking to be a world class fighter when his ambitions may be to learn the fundamentals get fit and have a few amateur bouts. That is not too much of an ask.As you know it all depends on his trainer. A good trainer could have a natural fighter who is dedicated fighting a novice amateur bout against another amateur senior with no junior experience within 12-18 months.The quality of the trainer is essential. A quality trainer will make sure that their fighter fights when they are ready and not before.And they will make sure that their fighter is not over matched.

 

Probably the "textbook" (hands up, chin down) style because you wouldn't be as adept at anticipating punches as someone who's done it way longer than you have. I've really no idea though.

 

This seems logical.

 

Some people are more talented than others also, might only take a look at a stance to copy it and make it your own. It,s all down to the person who's starting boxing.

 

Those are wise words my friend.

 

It's the same for everybody.
Learn the basics --- stance, balance, high guard, catch, block, parry, bob, weaver, JAB, straight rt,. lft. hook, footwork.
It takes some work no matter what age you are.
