Btw how many people here have ever tried to do the shoulder roll?

I was just doing some friendly sparring with my homeboy last week. Had him fire at will on me. That shyt had me with the look the whole time.

That's why I have the utmost respect for anybody that uses that shyt effectively in boxing

If you have big delts it's makes life a lot easier if you plan on doing it.

You ever notice when they show Floyd getting ready for fights on 24/7 or All Access they only time he is ever using heavy weight exercises is for shoulder press? That's why.

A Big delt makes it seem like there is even less of a target (from the opponents view)

How could you box (in the basement or at the gym) and not have huge delts?

It's very possible.


genetics play a big role in muscle size as well, at the gym I used to go to I noticed South American heads usually have delts/traps

gotta say im surprised, I would just think the amount of shoulder usage in boxing would give any boxer huge delts

When I used to box, I used to fukk with that stance heavy either southpaw or conventional. I got real broad shoulders so that shyt felt natural. Best advice I can give you is to have your stance on point.
- Don't square up.
-Your fighting stance even when you're not doing the shoulder roll should only give your opponent half a target. This is hard because so many people learn this way at first, but eventually always kinda square themselves up when they box.
-Pivots and subtle footwork are your friend. That shyt helps you maneuver out of the way a lot easier than just solely relying on reflexes. Have someone throw punches at you and you defend in circles, by using your back leg to pivot. At first the circles might be big, but eventually you should be able to make them small enough where you can counter right back effectively.

It's easier to pinpoint the flaws and correct a stance by looking at it in motion so my bad if what I said ain't too helpful.

Now roy jones wants nick diaz

Roy looks like a clown targeting MMA fighters, knowing boxing wouldn't allow a guy with 65 fights to fight a guy in his pro debut.
