I recently fought in the Scottish Novice Championships at 1993 @ 54kgs heres the links to my fights http://uk.youtube.com/user/GPater11093 watch them in the order PG01 M001 PG01 M002 PG01 M003 Greg Paerson Boxing Part 3 Greg Paterson Boxing Part 4 it might be completly jumbled up i box in blue any advice or improvements are welcome
Advice: Cut off the ring. Be first. Extend your punches all the way. Throw your punches straight. Stop trying to be nice and not hurt you opponent. Good luck
exactly what my coach said i dont normally stalk opponents but i did what i had to do cheers for the advice though
you hit the nail on the head there amy good advice for him could use more head movement rather than just hand defences tho you like pretty sharp keep it up m8
head movement was rubbish and im not bullshitting but in the gym thats my best thing i just seem to freeze in the ring sometimes cheers for advise all is welcome like im not perfect and wont stop trying until i am
thats a brilliant attitude m8 that should be eeryones motto and its common to freeze a bit in the ring due 2 nerves happened to me aswel m8 dont worry about it
Some good advice has been given. :good Be more aggressive. If you are nice to your opponent you won't get anywhere. You must be a little mean sometimes. :yep If you can hurt him, don't hesitate (it's fun too).
i just made that up right now yeh im real nervous going inot fights just now and i never used to be but it will go away
thats what i have been working on in the gym being more aggresive and throwing harder shots but im throwing some hard shots but im not taht big of puncher to be honest good advice though m not aggresive but everyone says im a good finisher when i do get someone hurt like idid in my 3rd fight
You're still very young and don't have that many fights, so you have lots of time to change that. In my first few fights I also could be a little too kind. As long as you think about it and work on it in the gym, I think you'll be fine.
........I watched your fights carefully and it is clear that you have a good foundation. Your form is correct, you have good balance, and you keep a clear, focused head. I like the way you controlled the tempo in the first fight, and at times you varied your punches well. Those lead rights were good to see and the fact that you met the shorter man with shots as he came in was good tactics. As the fight wore on, you did begin to get predictable -it was all 1,2, or 1,1,2 or 2. Almost exclusively 1s and 2s in 001. Avoid patterns. Patterns can be read ...and countered. In 002 you sensed that the man was fading or hurt and you turned it on with good combinations. He was short and was not sure how to get inside. His mistake was giving movement without being effective and he was at your range. However, you were following him. Don't follow guys. Learn how to cut the ring off. Are you taking Geometry yet? Study it well. Learn how to attack at angles and slide out at angles while punching. That guy's style, though, all told, is made to order for you... he's short, doesn't know how to get inside, and is neither aggressive nor a puncher. The next guy exposed your weaknesses. He got inside by punching his way in, he varied his attack, and did not believe that you could keep him off of you... and he was right. He gave angles, kept you turning, and forced you to reset. He showed you something that you or your trainer should have seen and talked about. He showed you that you need to develop strength and power. In fact, the thing you want to work on the most is Power. You box like a sportsman. Technically sound, stand-up, composed, but a little sedated. You want to have another speed where you fight like a technically-sound lion. In order to deal with aggressive punchers, you need to jab hard enough to control them -if you can make their eyes water or knock them off balance or move them back that's even better. Most aggressive guys need forward motion -they can't punch unless they have it. So take it away from them. You were waiting on him -which was a mistake, and you'd just touch him with the jab. Forget that. You gotta do more than that when you face that style. If you cannot punch with enough authority to make your man think twice about coming into your range, then you are going to make friends with concussions. Don't let that happen. Learn to hit hard. Here's how: 1. Eat lots of protein. Eat meat at least once a week. I'm talking about steak. Don't be a vegetarian. Carnivores are killers... not plant eaters. 2. Develop your upper body. Fifteen is old enough to start in on this. Don't necessarily become a weight lifter -do isometrics constantly. Pull-ups. Push-ups. Dips. Punch while holding 5 lbs. Etc. 3. Work on the mechanics of power. Bend your knees more inside. Power comes from your feet. That's why boxers are better punchers than martial artists -we bend our knees, snap our hip and pivot on our feet. Don't rotate your hip, snap it! Pivot on that floor when you throw the right cross. You should be wearing holes on the bottom of your shoes from so much pivoting. Get into position to throw that right. Step to your left while jabbing, and when you get that right heel lined up with the guy's chin, pivot of the right foot and snap that hip as you punch in a straight line. Remember---A Straight Line between your right heel and his chin! 4. Work on the psychology of power. Spend more time on the heavy bag. Stop punching "on" the heavy bag like everyone else. Punch "THROUGH" the heavy bag. See that? Your target is the other side of that bag -it ain't that piece of tape on the heavy bag. Grit your teeth, think about your mother getting raped and punch through that bag. That should be your mentality. Aggression. Controlled. You are too controlled without aggression. You are half way there! 5. Watch film. Alexis Arguello was a stand-up technically sound gentleman of a boxer who could punch hard enough to stop a runaway car with his right. Watch Joe Louis and take note of his efficiency, positioning, combinations, and disciplined offense that was nothing short of fearsome.
