where do you look when boxing

Chest.

 

chest
so you can see hands feet and head

 

Shoulders are the key my friends...

 

Chest/shoulders. I look at those areas, but I keep my eyes open wide so I can see if he moves his feet. You shouldn't look at the gloves.

 

I just look at them. you get used to using your whole range of vision to see what's coming.

 

i look between the persons collar bones, in the soft spot if you know what im talking about. around there anyways, a little different for different people

 

i haven't really noticed where i look but somehow now i can tell what shot the other guy is going to throw, but i'm not always quick enough to move out the way.

 

if u focus in on the chest area....it's central so u should be able to see everything else...his feet...his hands...everything that will give u an indication of how to react. if ur focusing on his hands....what happens when ur looking at one and not the other? u can't always look at both hands simultaneously. watching how the shoulders shift...from the chest area....u can predict which hand is coming next.

 

This is an excellent question, I tell my boxers to concentrate on the area just bellow the chin above the chest, where that part go so does the boxer, he leans right, it goes right, what that means, possible right cross or upper, you lean left, what does it mean, left hook or upper cut...that is critical....learn that spot and you will be able to move and defend for the possible angles...

 

no one looks at the eyes?

 

if you look at their eyes its hard to see their fists.
