How effective do you think the bob and weave could be for lower weights?

Worth a shot, maybe.

 

Pacquaio and Mayweather can't and repeat can not start bobbing and weaving post-20 let alone post-30, but it's a fine style at any weight

Jose Torres implemented the Cus D Amato peekaboo well at LHW, as did Patterson at that weight.

Duran and Henry Armstrong used similar techniques against taller opponents

 

I think Patterson would've beaten Liston had he mastered the bob and weave. Wait...

 

:roll:


no way. if duran was square on and slipping punches and getting under the guard. hearns would just launch the hook and light him up with a 1-2.


bob and weave is pointless to an extent. it uses a lot of energy for a relatively small advantage which a good technician being able to deal with it anyway.

by all ****ing means duck and slip a punch. god damn dont get hit by punch but bobbing and weaving just makes you timable. kids roll in and a confident fighter would just see his head go left, he will throw his 1 then when the other guy slips to the right he will throw his right and meet him mid way.

a better technician will know you are off balance at the larger swings of the head so would just turn you....which effectively has just made you a square target swinging into the punch.

it was a style used by crude brawlers and is crucial part of a fighters training...but lets not make it seem like it is a 'style' lost to the ages.

it's like saying the high guard is disappearing.

 

BobAndWeave yourself into a noose you daft ****

 

Why is the duck more effective then the bob and weave? And why do you say the high gaurd is dissapearing?

 

Flea!

 

I think Gamboa can benefit from it
