Can anyone explain to me the proper definition of having rhythm whilst boxing. Which boxer has the best rhythm to study? I was told this is the most under used term in boxing.
DLH is a classic example of a boxer who does real good when in rhythm as opposed to being herky-jerky at other times. When he gets up on his toes and gets into a beat, everything flows naturally. But when he's flat-footed, trying too hard, it doesn't work as well. It seems having rhythm is the ability to get the opponent's timing down and being able to double up on it easily so the punches and moves can get in between the other guys punches. Or the ability to stay a quarter step ahead of his tempo.
Rhythm helps reflexes as well, if Im just waiting still, I cant move my head as well as I can if Im already in a rhythm.
I think of rhythm as basically not being predictable, ie not throwing the same combinations, not moving your head left-right-left-right all the time. Fighting out of rhythm means a guy has more difficultly figuring you out and timing you.
you should watch mayweather. he is amazing at taking his opponents out of their rythm and making them fight his fight. If you have a decent jab, use it. It is such an underused weapon in amateur boxing and it completely disrupts your opponents rythm if you use it right.
STFU Noob. Go and earn your dues in the general forum by going down on *******s. Where the ****s your contribution? If I'm wrong than Floyd Mayweather is wrong, because in an In This Corner video with James Smith he talks about the same thing.
Ali and SRL are beautiful to watch, I havnt seen much off SRR fights. I see that body rhythm is putting punches together and avoiding punches make your rhythm. What i am more interested in is the defensive side of rhythm, avoiding punches and being elusive. So basically rhythm means not to be predictable with your movements and change the speed and direction of your head movements, vary the speed and combinations of your punches.
earn my dues in a boxing forum? i'll do it in a boxing gym instead. YOu said you thought it was something that it really isn't. Rhythm isn't hard to figure out. Mayweather says he doesn't use it for that reason...idiot jerk

im somebody who practices the sport and doesn't spend all his time on a forum building up a 'rep' online. Also, that was english. Idiot jerk is a way of calling an idiot a jerk. atsch It's okay to be wrong sometimes man, don't be so angry. It's not healthy
