Boxers of The Coli, yall head movement eff'n with his or nah?

[KyokushinKarateMan]

Boxer offers strangers a simple challenge, hit him.






My question I wanted to ask of the boxers though is, is this standard level of head movement skills for a boxer whose been training say for 2 years or so maybe.. or is this guy just exceptional?

He's pretty good. I would say professionals are a lot faster, though. Whole lot faster. Not to diss him or anything.

 

[krackdagawd]

No shame in my game I would have eventually got hit.

*awaits the coli, IT Cert gawds with Mayweather like defense*

 

[Batsute]

He's good but he those dudes are noobs and he knows they have huge wind ups and are only aiming for his head that gives him the advantage. I've sparred with guys where they can only hit my body and they never touched me cause I knew my head was safe.

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

the only place i would allow to get hit and only with the mouth, tongue and hands is bellow the belt..

I wouldn't say that much IMO.

i'd say he's above average for someone who had 2 years training... if you really work on your head movement and defence for two years you can be on that level.

I would have definitely caught more shots than that.

Shoutouts to the noobs too... i'd say they were all also slightly above average from what i'd expect off randoms on the street.... Most guys who enter the gym for the first time are actually worse than that... e.g completely losing balance after winding up huge or just throwing massive shots one by one haha these guys seemed to have basic 1,2 concepts down, which kind of played into the man on the defence too

I remember when this was on worldstar a few years ago. Dude was pretty good for just two years training. You can tell he's comfortable in what he's doing.

This the thing though.
- Dude was in there with pretty non athletic guys so it's easier to read punches when you're a notch or two quicker than the guy throwing them.

-Everybody was head hunting. If they would have mixed up the shots to the body he would have prolly gotten caught. (short uppercuts and hooks)

-Most times if you're boxing you're going to block and parry a lot of those punches or ride them off the shoulder. I wouldn't suggest for someone to only defend exclusively with head movement. Good defense incorporates everything. (blocks, parries, rolling, head movement)

-Dude was squaring up a lot of the times when he was defending so he was kinda forced to move his head a lot. I was taught to stand more at an angle so you're naturally given the opponent less of a target. This way most shots will roll of the shoulder or be out of range. Head movement an pivoting were really just the 2nd line of defense. If your just defending with just head movement you'll eventually get a lil tired and start getting sloppy unless you have crazy stamina.

Thanks for the responses.

Would like to point out though that I am not sure at all how long this gentleman has been boxing!

When I asked in my initial post if it is normal for someone with say roughly "2 years" or so of boxing training to have such good head movement, I was asking in regards to anybody.
Like, is this a standard level skill set for an average person that's been boxing for maybe 2 years or so? Or would you expect this level skill set from a more experienced boxer? Etc..

But the way I worded it sounds like I was saying that he trained for maybe 2 years or so.

Sorry for the confusion!

They looked like noobs, yes. But as another poster mentioned, they weren't completely clumsy and cumbersome.
Many were throwing fast, 'direct' shots(as direct as you'd expect from untrained ppl), and some even mixed them up.
Still amateurs, yes, but definitely no walk in the park for the person dodging these shots.
And he actually got tagged a few times, as a matter of fact, if you watch closely.

But nevertheless, do you think you would've gotten tagged once or twice if you were out there?

 

[Roadie pipeher]

regular dudes hands..

 

[Master Teacher]

funny thing is the first fight I ever had as a kid, the guy quit and gave up, because he was too tired from not being able to hit me
I was only a greenbelt in karate, if you circle somebody who can't fight they won't be able to find you and hadn't done shyt with boxing yet besides fighting my friends in the drive way. lucky for that guy I wasn't the vicious b*stard I am now

I trained in a boxing gym for about 2.5yrs and this guys head movement seemed far superior to mine, although I was taught to fight out of the high guard and briefly the shell . Like @LauderdaleBoss I was also taught from day one to not square up like this guy was. But I think he probably was doing that on purpose.

That shyt was comical but its not even remotely fair to compare hands of anyone who's spent time in a boxing gym to some guys off the street. Still

Never would've got hit breh

The majority of his movement was slip three times then roll, he's in a pattern and the dudes fell for it until they found his rhythm. At that point didn't matter if all their weight was on their front leg or if they were walking with punches they found his rhythm.
