    Salvador Sanchez was extremely composed as well. Good point Bodi.

    Rly? wow not even 1 amatuer fight and you know who i am. Mate my defense sucks, but its getting better despite i got cut by the plastic rim on the pad and im not making myself out to be Mr.Unstoppable. Boyo if you got a problem with me after i asked for help in a training session your a right sad act.

    What are some of the ways/drills to improve your defense that some of you guys know or use?

    Get someone who is handy with a pair of focus mitts and run through drills with him/her. Controlled sparring also works wonders for less experienced fighters.

    Im one of the most elusive guys at my gym and get hit directly on my face very seldomly.......I think i was born with somewhat more then the other guys in this situation because im comparing myself to guys who have equal or more training time.

    I know but I'm seriously pretty bad at avoiding punches, and if I do I have a habit of dropping my guard completely like JCG did against Vitali Klitschko, so end up getting caught with following punches.

    a good offense can make up for a good defence in some cases
