Traps and Setups

yeah thats been a long time favourite of khans, the only problem is he tends to over-reach with it from time to time

 

yeah but it also allows you to maintain balance when rolling your shoulder. if you keep your hands up and do the same you throw yourself over a bit. also Marquez for example uses his feet to keep out of range and load his shots up. someone like floyd or toney dont need to give ground by walking back. instead do the opposite stand firm and let them try to hit you.

 

but also calzaghe in the later rounds making hopkins shoot his bolt by coming in, letting b-hop throw the cross then swarming to capitalise. i thought was a pretty good tactic. it didn't win him the fight but shows that boxing doesn't have a 'game plan' but a plan that changes every round.

 

the cuban pro's seem to do that slow fake right hand left hook thing. pushing fake punches out to let the man throw, it wont fool a good pro but rigondaux shows what he can do with it.



the rijker move that you take right hand to the jaw, throw simultaneous left hook to the rib is excellent. instead of catch and throw it's the same motion. and because of the foreword motion and inertia form the opposing fighter you are using a natural movement and making it work for you.

ken nortons high right guard against jab. which then he would jab simultaneously with his opponent and thus land because he was already protecting himself from it.

 

Oh yea the one where his eyes were closed and he was ducked facing the ground. Perfect trap. he made JMM think he was sleeping or passed out drunk. or maybe just a lucky shot not a trap.

 

I can never do that. I know it takes practice but my arms are too short.
