Useful thread.

I prefer to fight using the Boston Long Wank style.

Kind of a hybrid, dare I say.

 

I use the: let the punches hit my face defence. It works out very well and its easy to do.

 

Essentially all defense is based on either blocking or avoiding. In terms of blocking you caneither use gloves, forearms or shoulders (or arguably your face). Avoiding is much more diverse. You can use slips, bobbing/weaving, control of range, and the subtlest (which I actually think is Mayweather's best attribute) is closing angles. If you think of good offense as creating angles, then a good defensive fighter can also close those angles.

To put a generic name on a style takes away the subtleties of it. By conventional I presume you mean a high guard, but look at 10 different fighters who use that style and you will see 10 different ways of using it.

 

The cross? :rofl

 

Caaaaccccooooon stance, ye i use it in sparring, get both my elbows pointing forward and cover my whole face with the glove, you know.. jones jr style

 

The smartest defensive style, the one that separates the winners and losers is good footwork. if you dont have the advantage then avoid getting hit altogether move and reset. that's what the a team tells me anyway...
