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

shyt like this is why i fukk with boxing so heavy man always learning You got me working the Wardish jab that way n I never thought to work the right hand that way. Would be perfect to throw the hook when they try n force their head to the slip space I'm assuming right? or at least fake hook after working it then step in with the right hand?

now youre on the right track. there are a lot of ways to utilize a front foot pivot.

I have a feeling working the right hand to the space in front of your head would burn more energy than working the jab tho boxing w sickle cell I have to treat my stamina like a very finite resource to prevent over exertion. One of the reasons I fukk with BHop so heavy aside from my uncle putting me up on him when I was a kid is his style is a perfect fit for me. I pretty much box in a struggle version of BHop because I've come to learn I expend the least amount of energy that way n can go longer rounds. Very little wasted movement in that style.

you dont have to throw a lot of right hands but when you are working your jab to the space in front of the head you should try to work in your right hand too. when you enter into a front foot pivot your right hand is going to come out a lot more suddenly and you can make guys tentative just by being in your front foot pivot because of the way that your right hand can always come out of nowhere whenever you are in it. dont think about trying to hit a home run and dont think about trying to throw your right hand fast. think about trying to throw your right hand suddenly. think about trying to make your right hand come out of nowhere.

I agree, but you could say this about almost anything in boxing. I just see the opp being able to pivot to the left and hook over the top? Unless you throw the punch at area to the right of the ear, the slip space?

i dunno. the only reason to throw a soft right hand like that is to hide your weight being shifted over to the lead hip to disuise a left hook/uppercut/straight.

if it was me uisng this manouver id throw the soft right hand directly at his left hand if its up to keep it occupied. but imo this move only woks on people who fight with their hands very high.

i dont use this move so its just my 2 pence.

Let's be real for a sec. He doesn't follow through on his punches. That pitty pat shyt isn't good. That's why these fighters think they're better than they are.

And at least I saw Gary Russell in the AMs. He was great am.

Yuzo how do you throw a right like that and not get countered with a left hook?

there are two ways to counter a right hand with a left hook.

one way is to slip a right hand through the space that you have next to your right ear and over your right shoulder and in the same motion transfer your body weight over your front leg and into a counter left hook. however when you are working a right hand to the space in front of the head it wont pass through slip space and cant be countered this way.

another way is to throw a check hook over the top of a right hand.

whenever you are throwing any right hand that is being countered by a check hook you have to get your head inside and/or under the check hook.

Spoiler

that was how marvin hagler knocked out tommy hearns

you can throw your right hand and naturally preform a slipping motion simultaneously to get your head inside and/or under a check hook or you can throw your right hand and duck under a check hook

Shakur Stevenson And Charles Conwell Impress In 2016 World Series Of Boxing Opener
Jan. 21, 2016, 11:44 p.m. (ET)

(MIAMI, FLA.) – Olympic year competition officially began for Team USA on Thursday night in a World Series of Boxing showdown between the USA Knockouts and British Lionhearts in Miami, Fla. In front of a packed house at the Miccosukee Sports and Entertainment Dome, the two teams battled in five hotly-contested bouts to kick off the sixth season of the World Series of Boxing. The match went down to the final bout before the British Knockouts pulled out a 3-2 victory to win the season opener.

(@TheLukieBaby and @krackdagawd...your boy)
Bantamweight Shakur Stevenson (Newark, N.J.) earned the first victory of the season for the USA Knockouts in a dominating performance. The 18-year-old relied on a strong jab and precise movement to outbox the British Lionhearts Peter McGrail over all five rounds. Stevenson took every round on all three judges’ scorecards to take a 3-0 victory over his fellow 2014 Youth Olympic Games medalist McGrail. The bout was the first international contest for Stevenson in the elite division, moving his international record to a perfect 18-0.

( Charles Conwell #OhioPlayers)

Another former youth star moved seamlessly in to the elite international division as well. Middleweight Charles Conwell (Cleveland Heights, Ohio) is the youngest Olympic Trials winner but his performance showed no signs of youth. Conwell faced the British Lionhearts Troy Williamson (England) in the third bout of the night on Thursday. Conwell, the 2015 USA Boxing Youth Male Athlete of the Year, took control of the contest early and used an effective inside game and strong right hands to win a wide, unanimous decision over Williamson. Conwell’s impressive performance gave the Knockouts their second victory of the night.

Light flyweight Nico Hernandez (Wichita, Kansas) competed in the first bout of the night for Team USA and the returning team member battled in a close match-up with 2015 European Champion Harvey Horn of England. Hernandez was able to land several right hands but found himself reaching at various points during the bout. At the conclusion of the five round bout, Horn pulled out the victory by one round on the judges’ scorecards.

(@patscorpio this for you)
With the support of his father and three brothers on hand, Gary Russell (Capitol Heights, Md.) stepped in to the ring in a light welterweight match-up with Great Britain’s Pat McCormack. Russell put on a strong performance in his World Series of Boxing and elite international debut, staying aggressive and landing several strong shots in the five round contest. Yet the European Championships silver medalist enjoyed moments of his own in the contest and won a 3-0 victory over Russell to notch victory two for the visiting team.

With each squad claiming two victories a piece, the match went to down to a definitive heavyweight showdown between the USA Knockouts Cam F. Awesome (Lenexa, Kansas) and the British Lionhearts Lawrence Okolie. Awesome displayed his patented unique style against the towering Okolie, landing combinations and evading Okolie’s offense. Yet Okolie used and height and reach to keep the bout competitive and the judges scorecards could not have been closer. In the end, Okolie pulled out the victory for himself and the British Knockouts by a 2-1 split decision with all three judges scoring the bout by a 48-47 margin.

Several boxing notables came out to enjoy a night of boxing in Miami, including two Cuban stars. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux and cruiserweight prospect Yunier Dorticos enjoyed the bouts from ringside as did 2008 Olympian and WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell, Jr., who loudly supported his younger brother during his bout.

The family of recently departed 1976 Olympic gold medalist and Val Barker award winner Howard Davis supported Team USA as well and the boxing great was remembered with a memorial 10-count before the start of the action.

The USA Knockouts will return to the ring with bouts in the other five weight divisions at the Miccosukee Sports and Entertainment Dome on February 5. All the Olympic Trials champions and 2016 Olympian Carlos Balderas (Santa Maria, Calif.) will convene at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Sunday for the first training camp of 2016.

You're saying this in reference to Charles Conwell? He's probably THEE best US amateur right now...either him or Shakur Stevenson (which I always have leaned towards Conwell over him due to age, but Shakur is nice with it too)


Nah breh....you're gonna have to read up on him breh

I thought Marquez wanted a 5th division belt?


He'd be better off taking a tuneup, and then trying to fight the winner of Ali/Vargas on the undercard of Canelo vs GGG on Mexican Independence Day, because I think Cotto beats him.
