Technical flaws you've noticed in fighters...

That's not the only other suspect technique in Kell Brook's style. When he throws his right hand he has a tendency to pull his head up in the air and leave his chin out.

 

David Price cocks his left arm and leaves it low which means he cannot control range nor get maximum power on his jab and fails to triple it because he seems lazy with it.

 

I posted on here and pulled Tyson Fury up for leaning back and pawing when he thinks he's going to get hit a couple of weeks before Barry Mac mentioned the same thing on the TV.

I'm not sure whether he'd read my post or managed to spot the flaw for himself.....;O)

 

Well i posted this video in the training area but i don't think many people will see it and appreciate it there so i will throw it into this thread.
It highlights a flaw of De La Hoya..it's a harsh one but a very good point. 4:14 you will see it.

Cool video.

The only slight fault in his logic is the idea that the type of defence Charley Burley is implementing is less dependent on reactions. Burley had the talent to see punches early and move his head/shoulder accordingly. That's a great defence but it requires a higher talent threshhold to perfect. Oscar tried a more ambitious type of defence under Mayweather Sr and sucked at it.

So really the defence De La Hoya utilizes is the type of defence Joe Bloggs should learn first out in the gym as its simple and effective.

 

Yeah your spot on. In the ring you have to feel natural at what your doing especially in a sport where other man is trying knock you out. Some people feel comfortable taking shots on the gloves...some like to roll with shots. It depends a lot on upperbody and mentally your confidence. I do like the way Burley pivots with left foot very smart move.

 

James DeGale stands still after throwing a combination.

 

It might just be me, but has anyone else noticed Khan doesn't have a good chin?

 

Groves is ginger.

 

De La Hoya wasn't the same fighter under Mayweather Sr.

His footwork deteriorated, the head movement disappeared..... not sure why he stuck with him for so long.

 

think that was mo to do with him ageing and moved up in weight. you gotta remember dlh was in some wars hes got one of the best records in history.

 

Oscar De La Hoya spent far too long with trainers who weren't suited to his natural style. He was always working with whatever trainer was in vouge and would have been a much more successful fighter if, like Manny with Roach for example, he had just stuck to a guy who complimented his style.

 

How many did he have?

Beristain
Roach
Mayweather
Steward
Clancy

Any more......

 

Yep - First thing that came to my head when I saw this thread was...

"Tyson Fury winces, turns his head and paws a shot out there when he believes he's about to be hit in the face"

DeGale sometimes loads up big shots with his left when there's no need to do it at all. He isn't a massive puncher and his punches are sometimes a little slow off the mark coz he wants to be stopping people. Should get back to boxing IMO

Hatton, punches his gloves together infront of his chest half a second before he leaps into a left hook.

Calzaghe avoided prime fighters :rofl

Murray for some reason loves to be punched in the face :huh
