The all things technical thread.

You mean his reaching left uppercut which he follows up with the right hand? I like it too
:good

 

I love JMM's angles, he uses angles beautifully with a slip here and a dip there. I always look at his lead hand the way he sights his opponent with it. Sorta like he's fencing and picking off the opponents advances.

Donaire messing around the other day in media workout did a bit of JMM and he made light of it.

 

Mand, that video was explosive...really enjoyable.

I enjoyed this, if anyone hasnt seen it its worth a watch

 

Yeah, I enjoyed that.

Must say that I've never really critiqued Pacquiao that much other than the obvious, overshooting with his left and sometimes a lack of patience and variety in his work.

 

:deal

Reminds me of Naseems jab/uppercut.......if this makes sense.

Question regarding the thread.

How often do you see two orthodox fighters working clockwise in general, ok some will feint or slip right but generally it seems 90% of the time they move clockwise.

Can anyone name me some that dont/didnt ?

Scott Harrison i noticed used to move anti and in turn keep range and pressure on opponents...i had a few other fighters though ma minds not the best....

Surely an orthodox fighter moving anti clockwise so to speak gives the majority of orthodox fighters issues ?

Thoughts please.


Nice thread btw :thumbsup

 

IMO a subtle but important technique to teach or to learn is how to take away or manipulate your opponents angles to punch from. In simple terms, take drawing a shot by feinting an opening, then making your opponent miss and lose balance. For me it's the most important and understated part of Mayweather's defence. He puts himself in positions were you have to reach and charge for him, and he knows exactly where you will be so he can counter. Here is a gif I stole from a different thread.

Also worth noting in this example, he knows Ortiz wants to keep his foot outside, so he concedes the outside in order to gain the upperhand. As a southpaw myself I often take advantage of the fact that a lot of orthodox fighters go into the ring fixated on the idea of stepping to the outside, but they can be unsure of what to do when you let them take it and roll back under the inside to open up angles.

Always better to be the puppeteer than the puppet IMO!

 

Keep your elbows tucked in, your chin down, you eyes on the opponent, circle away from their lead hand, keep your head moving, throw feints to draw a reaction and remember he has a body too so dig that left hook in.

^ this is all fantastic technical advice.

You're welcome.

 

Top thread, i'll have a better read when i'm back from my run

Hooking off the Jab

First 3 mins of this video:good

 

Okay fella's Donaire talks shop with Smitty, Now one thing that is of interest to me is that he watches shoulders of opponent to pick off them coming in.

I've heard some shockers been taught to kids, 'watch there feet', 'watch there eyes'. I like what Donaire's saying. Watch the whole body, He's thinking and concentrating in there all the time.
