what is the best style of defense and blocking shots

Depends on your style and your ability.
So basically... what is your style and what can you do?
Counter puncher? boxer-puncer? Volume puncher? Slick? what....

 

There ain't. Different guys do different things best. There's plenty who'ld tell you that offense is the best defense, and it might be true for them.

 

Best defense = no be there

 

best defense is margarito defense, block shots with your face

 

Sounds like you are a range fighter who prefers outside. If you have good reach and height is best to fight on the outside anyways. Having long arms is already useful for defense.

Conventional defense is best for you.

 

You sound like me...I'm pretty tall for my weight (140.) I use the shoulder roll to block cause I'm a counter-puncher. What is your weight? Your fighting style?

 

Damn! With that size, you really don't need to be fancy. You will be a handful just with your size alone. There is no need for you to use Philly shell which is a counter puncher style/in fighting defense.

Use your jab and keep your opponent at bay will be your biggest defense tool. If they get close, tied them up and get back to your range.

 

Hopefully your next opponent demands OSDT in the contract.:yep:yep

 

BB - you noticed the Forum entitled 'Training'?

There's some good guys in there, an' if you're actually wanting information about doing it rather than talking 'bout it, you'll probably get more practical info an' less bull****.:thumbsup
