My Kids fight Sunday 7-22-07

I always tell him to move his head, assume they will jab even if they dont, if your slipping your head is moving making you a much harder target to hit as your stepping on the inside, it also allows him to shift his weight so he can get off when he sees the opening kind of how Iron Mike use to the man is short 5'3 he has to fight like that, this guy was very tall so the idea was for him to get that head movement going and slip his way in and let his hands go.

Does he hit? **** yes he can bang i have been telling people this from the get you really dont under stand his power unless you have sparred with him or done mit work with him.

and to answer the last question when he gets inside I want him to step around after he gets his shots off, not to step out, but around and throw more before the other guy can reset his feet, he does this very well in sparring I was hoping to see it in this fight but ill take the quicky in this one.

 

I would say your trainer did the right thing, Honestly you always get the first time jitters going in, maybe if the guy had one fight cool but by their 4th fight usally they have settled into it more while this is still your first time, they would have that edge alone going for them and for a short fight like this, by the time you worked out the jitters more than likely the fight would have been over.
My kid had 1 fight going in, the other guy had 0 fights both Novice.

 

Thank you, yes we are going to work on that for sure, he didnt do anything right until the last few seconds from there that was all it took, imagine had he done it right when the bell rang:think

 

its sort of like stepping under that right hand banging the left hook to the body the right to the body the left to the head and the right to finish it, that was what he through to stop the show.
its not exactly Tysons style he is still green but we are going that dirrection with him becuase of his height

 

its really not as hard as you think, once you fire that left hook your weight shifts to the other leg allowing you to throw that right hook to the body which sets up a left hook either to the head or the body again and from there you can throw another right hand, in that sequence it was left hook (Body) Right hook (Body) Left Hook (chin) straight right hand (chin)

 

No glass chin I dont think, I know for sure my kid can bang, I have sparred with him myself, and let me tell you when he hits you your teeth rattle, it hurts when he lands even when he isnt loading up that **** just hurts.
it was 19 seconds and the kid was out:good

 

He knows the mistakes made in that fight, though it was short he knows he was a bit wild, had his hands down didnt focus on his balance until he settled down.
we are working this all becuase he knows his next fight is going to be a hard fight, he knows that he is going to face a man who can take that shot and walk right through it.
so we are back in the gym and looking to fight in a couple of weeks from now.
