There always seems to be this duality in boxing. Who would win the Taller And Longer Fighter that Has great range control or the shorter brawler with amazing footwork and head movement?
Casual Boxing Fans tend to fight over this
Boxing Analyst tend to debate this
As BOXING PURIST WE tend to strategize for it!
This will always be a thing in boxing and in life, but our objective isn’t to be opinionated, rather it is to look at what we can learn about each style and how it applies to us!
These boxing breakdowns are not about speed and power but the mechanics of victory. How did they achieve victory…what did they do right…what can be improved. Boxing IQ is not just muscles and punches…rather it is the art of war played out in a squared battlefield we call a ring!
So how this applies to you. Watch footage with the mindset of principles not emotions!
Principle dictates a jab increases your versatility and options
Emotion says you got to let your hands go!
Principle ensures that your feet are in the right position to strike
Emotion says you got to get on your bicycle!
Principle encourages limiting your opponents offense
Emotion says keep your hands up
So we are not looking for what they did but why and how it happened!
Last thing to ponder for you…if a person got hit the mistake was made 3 seconds before they actually did. WE STUDY THOSE 3 SECONDS
