east european boxing and latin boxing...almost looks like 2 different sports lol

hi i have seen for example russian(soviet school) fighters and mexican fighters and it's funny how the two schools are so different, almost everything they do is not the same... even the basics.

i have trained with a latin american coach and an east european coach,
and the funny thing is that when i talked to each of them about the other style they would....

east european would say: ahh the mexicans, aren't good at many things, just want to stay inside, we like to box more techinally lol

spainish guy says" ahh the russians they are boring, only do a few things and just paw with jabs, they can't stand pressure or being inside.


so much was different, the footwork, the way you punch. etc etc


what style do think is more effective?

like if you put two good fighters will would usually win....
who hits harder?


like prime kostya vs prime chavez???


what do you perfer???


i would say that i perfer to watch the mexican guys fight...more fun for sure...

but when i spar, the russian style is much safter and less risk

 

the point was the sterotype,

ofcourse some mexican boxers are great boxers and move nicely etc
mexican legend gave good example

and some east european will brawl inside, like dariusz M, alexander povetkin etc etc

but the point was how different the sterotyical styles are...

and i disagree that mexicans just rely on heart, i see very good moves from them espically inside/body work, they are experts here

 

i would tend agree with you a bit there...

lower risk, higher reward is usually the better way to go...
