hard to tell.good fight

you need to change to the south poor and be liked The Pac Man Many Pacquaoi
you will never loosed less your oponint youses the PDE's like Marqeuz

 

AMIN,

I will try to watch the whole fight tomorrow.

Three quick observations:


1: I thought, from an earlier fight posted here, that you had very good fundamentals. I still do, except:


2: Your footwork looks a little clumsy to me now. IIRC, it was better last time. Your opponent's footwork is much better. Look at how he sort of prances around like a gazelle, always keeping his back foot in the perfect position for a power shot. (even while moving backwards.)

You don't do this, and it's costing you offensive opportunities. With your hand speed, if you were always ready to throw, you'd be incredibly dangerous. Watch Pernell Whitaker. He was a master of this.


3: Your opponent caught you early on with that left, because he very cleverly changed up its speed. He had been throwing it slower, and you got into that rhythm, then at just the right time he threw it really fast, catching you off guard and almost KYTFO.

Try to be more aware of this (ask your trainer) and also try to develop the same thing with your own punches. You have VERY good hand speed, but don't try to make every punch a home run.

----------

And one last word of advice:

DON'T TAKE ADVICE FROM GUYS ON FORUMS !! (including me. )

Seriously.

 

Good stuff, I gave the decision to your opponent but it was close.

Noticed your footwork was slow / flat in your last video and that your movements are very predictable. You basically do the same thing over and over again.

Here's how I think you could improve your game.

1. Get off your heels until you put in a power punch. Practise moving around on the balls of your feet, getting quick punches in with a flatter foot and then off your heels agains as quickly as possible.

2. Don't try to put full power into every punch. Better picking up points from weaker but more accurate punches and then catching your opponent out with a big shot now and again.

3. Vary the intensitivity and speed of your punches. Not just power but the number of punches you throw. If you stun your opponent with a good shot keep the pressure on.

4. You walk straight in and stand there while your opponent hits your guard (or you). Try getting in and out very quickly (easier to do if you are off your heels).

5. Don't go straight in all the time, circle to the right and left to upset your opponent's rhythm. Draw you opponent to you e.g. back off with the guard making him think you are tired and then come back at him with a flurry.

Basically speed your footwork up and mix it up a lot more without staying in your opponents range too much of the time.

 

Your welcome. Expat09 & I seem to be in agreement, which is a good sign.

Another thought: I HIGHLY recommend that you start doing plyometrics excercises. This can dramatically improve your footspeed & balance. (50% of boxing is in the legs.)


HOWEVER -

Just run all this by your trainer, then do what HE says !

 

I'd also love to hear Bogotazo's thoughts on your technique.

He's one of our top technically-savy members here. One of the few who's advice I'd recommend you actually listen to.

Bogo, are you out there?

 

I agree! I said the exact same thing in regards to his foot speed in the European forum he posted this in:

That was a pretty good fight! Nice clash of styles – the boxer-puncher vs the mover. Almost a carbon-copy, amateur version of Khan-Peterson. You caught him with some nice counters in the midst of his flurries, and likewise he peppered you with some sweet shots, too. I like your defence/head movement, and you seem pretty mature in deciding when to release your hands. You landed some nice left hooks and overall were making things uncomfortable for him (the way you cut the ring and kept the pressure on was excellent – especially at the 10:30 mark). I think you’re better suited to the pro game.

And yeah, you do kind of remind me of Lamont Peterson. Keep up the good work, man. Best of luck.

Oh, and if there's one suggestion, it would be to work on your footwork a bit more. It's a little bit on the slow side, and it allows your opponents moments of rest when they get away from you. For inspiration, observe Ricky Hatton. He has a similar stalker style to you, but he had exceptionally quick footwork in chasing down and tracking his runners. One of his best attributes.

- I really like all of this guy's technique videos. They pretty much jive with how I was trained, years ago.

Also, again, do those plyometrics! They build speed, flexibility, and even increase your stamina by increasing your muscle cells' ability to break down lactic & efficiently use oxygen. (ATP formation) You will even see an increase in punching power, I guarantee it.

I used to do "gazelle prances" across the gym (sometimes even out on the road) both forwards & backwards, until my legs burned. - And then I'd do it again. - And again.

### NOTE: It is important, while doing this, to maintain the perfect distance BETWEEN your two legs. This is something you have to determine with your trainer, and if possible, using an accelerometer. There is an optimal distance, which gives the best leverage & support to the punch. IMO, you often have your legs a little too wide, though I am only guessing. Find that perfect distance, and then practice moving around like that until it becomes COMPLETELY ingrained in your brain. You will thank me after your next fight.


Still, there is no substitute for a good trainer, who is working with your specific strengths & weaknesses. Trust the one you have.
