How to become a better Defensive Boxer?

If you were getting the right kind of training, this question would never arise. Whenever you see a boxer who is easy to hit, you can be sure he was never taught how not to get hit. There is a long list of defensive drills that you need to perform in order to improve your defensive skills. You will often see me saying: "move your head" in various posts. Of course learning how to move your head in an effective way to create both defense and offense is not so simple. Find yourself a proper trainer and he will teach you.

 

I became evasive and quick on my feet by practicing moving lateraly around the ring while pivoting and slipping, trying to keep my body moving all the time. Moving lateraly is not natural so it takes a lot of time and practice to devlop a good fluid movement; skipping, running, benches, lateral hops and bar jumps all help.
You should concentrate at least a couple of rounds per session on angles, pivoting, leteral movement etc footwork is one, if not the most important attribute in boxing.

 

Nuff said

 

Not really... Puddin if you have as much ring experiance as you make out then you would give him some help. If you have so many defensive drills feel free to list some. I sure everyone could benefit with your superior knowledge. :good

 

"Beggers" (arent choosers)...sounds like you could use some tips yourself

 

:hi:

 

A few words on a bulletin board is not a good substitute for a real boxing coach. He could even get some books and videos, but that too is no substitute. Explaining a check hook is one thing, but giving specific advice on imroving defensive skills goes beyond the scope of any boxing forum.

 

you guys still taking pudding serious even after cross trainer exposed her as being a woman!?!?

the ***** used to start threads on why women are better at things than men!!

pudding, darling just stick to the kitchen, let us men handle boxing.

 

Being female doesn't mean you are any less informed or educated about boxing. And being male doesn't automatically give you more clout. Come on, good boxing knowledge, is good boxing knowledge.

 

but pudding is a stupid *****, all the time she talks about how they did it in the old days and all those defensive drills which should be taught, but never gives ****in' examples, i think she needs some good loviin', ***** probably hasn't been getting dick for a while now.

Yes, I'm being a dick, big woop, wanna fight about it?

Also, Relentless, that post of yours was pretty ****ing ridiculous.
Don't get your panties in a twist over some alias woman whatever, stick to running 5 minute miles mate!

 

i bet you guys dont know what a low blow feels like though.:hey

 

That has nothing to do with knowing what you are talking about when it comes to giving advice.

And yes, a low blow on a women hurts. I'm sure not near as bad, but it does hurt. But again, that has nothing to do with anything.

 

There is good and bad (mostly bad) advice given on here on a daily basis. Being male or female has nothing to do with it. If you don't like her posts, either point out why or don't read them.

Sometimes pudding give very good advice and sometimes it's vague or outdate and sometimes it's down right condescending.....just like everyone else who posts here. Being female has nothing to do with it. Let it go.
