rate this padwork

Looked pretty good to me. You look to be pretty light on your feet, rotate nicely on the balls of the feet and turn your hips into the power shots. Sounds like a good bit of pop to your punches too. You return to a guarded position after punching pretty fast to minimize an opponents openings.

You did sound a bit like Maria Sharapova with all that grunting and I personally find it a bit annoying when watching a fight when a boxer howls with every punch, but that's just me. You gotta do what works for you.

Noticed when you throw a set of shots and step over you are stepping over to your left with your right hand down.

in other words thats a straight shot for anybody who has a good right hand keep that hand up! and try stepping to your right when your done so you take away that counter right hand

 

Yeah that's the first thing I noticed ! Other than that you looked pretty good ! How long you been boxing?

 

I'm just going to give some respectful criticism, which is what you're after, I believe.

I don't like that double cross you're throwing. You aren't maximizing power or position.

Your 1-2-3 gets wide and you're exposed. Try to shorten up and stay tighter defensively.

Your punches start by telegraphing wih your shoulders. You're really easy to read.

Another thing is you're not very fluid or fast wih your head movement. You need to be punching off those angles, not just doing it for the sake of doing it.

The trainer needs to implement some body shots and make you think about defense more. You should be slipping and ducking shots to learn some real-time counters...

Looking good though, props on the snap and balance.

 

Body shots meaning he gives you opportunities to rip some body shots....

 

thoughts were pretty good but crits are-

fighter sticks his chin out when throwing hard... constantly, it would be something you immediately look for when picking him apart.

hook is lazy and low leaves side of head completely exposed. fighter tries to recover with using shoulder guard but why not just throw it properly. Jab is low too and way too infrequent. open to hooks.

more body shots from trainer fighter, the punches i saw were used as 'in between' shots, fighter could execute better body shots and upper cuts

coach should try and calm the fighter down, he's too tensed up. practicing a lot of straights but maybe trying too hard with the hard shots, needs more focus on technique and speed.

 

Looks like a poor mans Joe Calfaggi.

 

It's pretty odd - personally it looks like he'd be defensively not great because the coach hardly throws anything at him - like on his left cross his right hand comes down, his chin flies up in the air on most punches and his hooks are wide. The coach also pretty much just lets him stand in punching distance and lets him load up for a few seconds beforehand - seems totally unrealistic. Fair play to the guy if he's doing really well competetively with padwork like that.

Also, much like somebody above said, the head movement was weird - wooden and slow and really just wasted movement since nothing was being thrown at him.

 

The padwork was arse pie. Where are the angles? The trainer should be making you turn more make you really use your legs. You're just coming in in a straight line with minimal head movement. I suggest get a new trainer cause he's just teaching you some aerobox ****.

You telegraph the left and fall off balance easy. Squat down lower and don't bend at the waist. You bounce in the air too much. That makes you lose balance, stay down lower and step properly with your punches. Also you are too tight. Relax your arms more and let the combos flow instead of forcing them out by trying to hit harder. Power will come if you turn your punches over right. Also let them hooks out further they are way too tight.

You can't pull the trigger anywhere near fast enough. You wait a few seconds after to throw a one punch combo. There will be nothing to hit but air if you do that. You also drop your hands from your chin just before you throw a punch. Don't do that ****. Throw straight from your chin. You also leap in with your chin in the air when you throw the hook. This is not only dangerous it makes you lose power. You would get ****ed up by novices of guys who know how to train though there aren't too many of them guys round these days.

By the way don't listen to that orriray59 **** he's really ****ing weird. He roots his own family members.

 

You asked for critique on the video you linked and received critique on the video you linked. If you linked a video of Manny Pacquiao hitting pads and asked for critique, you'd also get critique. Nobody is perfect, that's not to say they're not incredible boxers. Not sure what you're trying to prove mate.
