My co-host Nick Powers training with Jeff Mayweather: what does he need to work on?

His diet, thats about it, Honestly he moves well for a out of shaper.

 

Damn, I can';t watch the video here for some reason. Jeff is a good trainer though, so I'm sure he'd be more than qualified to point anything out. Although in the amateurs the weight class is 201 and 201+. And there are some big mofos at those weights.

 

He needs to lose weight to be taken seriously in Amateur boxing

 

too slow with his punches, bad form

 

What I am saying is he would be alot more fluid I think if he came down and he can he has room to work with.... and if he does keep at it in the gym he will come down

 

Uhmmm, not to dis all of us here, because we're all great..but wouldn't it have been better to ask Jeff May weather what he needed to do to improve? I mean he was right there and all...


Anyhow, since you did ask,the only glaring "flaw" I saw was when he jabbed low on the heavy bag, he did so by just, uh... jabbing low. I was always taught to sort of drop down with the legs to hit low, keeping the jab straight to protect the face more.

And yeah, he should cut back on the cookies.

 

Hardy har har, let's point and tell Nick he's overweight, **** YOU GUYS!

Haha, I'm well aware that my diet needs to improve, and contrary to what some of you may think, I'm not exactly "out of shape", because I train pretty hard usually, I just eat like an absolute slob, that's my problem. I hadn't done mitt work for almost a year in that vid, let alone doing one with a Mayweather.

I appreciate the feedback though guys, keep it coming.

 

Without nit picking I think you look good in terms of technique and skill. If I'm going to nit pick then here or there you could have kept your hand up or chin down etc

My best advice would be to lose weight and a by product of this would be increased stamina, better balance, more co-ordination, increased speed etc etc

Keep it up. You are working with Mayweather. Lucky man.

 

Very Mayweather style. Esp with the arm punching... I cant connect the training method with a fairly exposed chin to how a 'Mayweather' actually fights in the ring. The two seem so different.

 

From what I saw he looks like he needs to turn into his hooks and uppercuts more. chin seemed a bit up in the air aswell (although that might of been where the camera angle was?)

Good high gaurd, but he better be ready to protect that body though.

It's obviously hard to tell how good a boxer is until you see them actually fight. Some guys look like they own the Gym when they train but when they fight a switch just goes off for them mentally and they can never fight to their true potential. The opposite can also happen for fighters who look terrible in training!

 

I'm sure J. Mayweather will take care of him, but I think:
1. he needs to tuck in his chin
2. needs to make the punches snap out better from his torso and legs
3. needs to tuck up that shoulder with each punch

Can't see his footwork that well but it looked okay I guess.
