Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[Liu Kang]

Say brehs, so I'm starting to kinda identify my boxing. I have a good reach (1.85m) for my height 1.78m and I usually like boxing on the back foot, jab a lot and counter people. My jab is my best weapon which as always been my goal and I try to continue to solidiy that fundamental while trying to be more versatile. However, sometimes I also likes being the aggressor above all when I notice my opponent gassing but I'm terrible at combinations (my hooks are utter trash ) so I usually spam 1-1, 1-2 and 1-6 while also spear jabbing the body.

What I lack more is defense (which seems logical as it's harder I guess). I think my movement is not too bad as I seem to have a good distance management and use my footwork to be evasive (actually had some dudes calling me a runner because I wouldn't trade with them as I was content in jabbing their head ). However, my upper body movement is not good enough in my opinion and I tend to shell up when a combo comes to me. What good exercices should I do to improve my upper body movement (not just slips and "ducks" but also moving the upperbody in a way I can make my opponents miss, similarly to a Toney if you know what I mean). I'm obviously not trying to be proefficient there just to improve this part a bit.

Also, I'm a lefty fighting mostly righties.

A slip bag maybe for slips/ducks

drills with partners where you practicing evading in general

What everybody uses in the world barring 5-6 countries

I can easily help dude, but he has to answer Pat's question and give us some US measurements first.

He even figured it out halfway himself just by reading his post.

There gotta be better options than Ricky Burns, dude the white Adrien Broner, he stay getting big fights that nobody wants to see him in. He would be a walk over for Taylor.
