My question is concerning the usefulness of the lead uppercut.....reak question is,is it really something to focus on to improve and add to my game. I feel comfortable throwing all other punches but on a common basis I cant land my lead uppercut in sparring, I actually feel more vulnerable to a counter, also feels like there's no REAL benefit in throwing it except to create vulnerability in the opponents head (which is important).
Especially for me as a southpaw I find even more reasons not to throw it.....BUT the point of this thread is not to say the lead hand uppercut isnt useful, not at all.....just questions regarding it

1 - what can I do to improve this, as a setup for it or using it to set something else up? as a southpaw fighting most orthodox, would the change in stance effect my ability to pull it off?

2 - Ive seen and heard from many trainers different ways to throw it, some say lean over the lead leg and turn it up, others say actually throw it right from where you are pulling your weight back to the rear leg? Thoughts on either?

3 - can anyone show me a good fighter utilizing this?

My trainer is away for the next 2 days at other gyms sparring getting one of his fighters ready for an upcoming bout and for sure this will be the first question I ask when I see him next ]]> Ask the Trainer hma123 http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingforum/75224-lead-uppercut.html http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingforum/75202-fighting-saturday.html Wed, 15 May 2013 12:30:14 GMT Im fighting saturday in my first am fight weigh in at 330pm saturday fights start at 530 ill be on earlyish making weight has been tough...

However, my coaches are certainly not happy with it and even not willing to nominate me for the competition.

Any advice on this. Should I start to fight in Orthodox style or keep doing this?

Not many of you know me very well so I decided to try this out and instead of just doing it I thought I'd share my experience here also.

My diet is almost all salad.

Hopefully this will help others lose a few pounds.

In 2009 I decided to try and become a professional boxer, I have did the training and stuff for years but didn't think about trying this until I was 24 (late to start boxing I know, even worse when you consider I'm 27 now) and at that time I was in great shape sitting about 13 stone of mainly muscle. I changed to a boxing gym from my regular one and did about 5 months of constant training with one of the trainers and had a decent dietary program.

Once I met my fiancée, took on her daughter as my own and had my son, I sort of gave up and focused on my family. Not watching my diet anymore or really going to the gym that much I have fallen out of shape a bit. I'm going to try and get back to good form, lose the little bit of a gut I have now and see where I go from there.

So here's my plan.

3 weeks of diet and work out and 1 week of rest while eating carbs sensibly. I understand that this is unorthodox.

Breakfast Consisting of
-Lettuce
-Cucumber
-Tomatos
-Pickles
-Coleslaw
-Cheese
-2 Boiled Eggs
-A Dressing (Balsamic Vinegar, Mayo, Caesar, etc)

Lunch Consisting of
-Lettuce
-Cucumber
-Tomatos
-Pickles
-Coleslaw
-Cheese
-2 Poached Egg Whites
-6 Diced Almonds
-Breast of Chicken Diced
-A Dressing (Balsamic Vinegar, Mayo, Caesar, etc)

Dinner Consisting of
-Lettuce
-Cucumber
-Tomatos
-Pickles
-Coleslaw
-Cheese
-Beetroot
-6 Diced Almonds
-2 Breast of Chicken Diced / 2 pieces of Salmon
-A Dressing (Balsamic Vinegar, Mayo, Caesar, etc)


It helps me that I really like salad, but it might not be for everyone. I'm drinking almost nothing but water and a diet coke or so at the weekends.

I started this diet yesterday at 9am and I weighed 180lb today at the same time I weighed 179lb but that's nothing to get hyped about yet.


I'll keep updating my progress and hopefully have good results fairly soon.

what are some more specific sparring drills you can do with someone? currently have 3 we've been working in the gym which you all prob know...
-body sparring
-jab sparring
-offense/defense
anyone have anything else that would be beneficial?

Also on doing the offense/defense drill I can see the person on the defense could benefit from training with someone on any level. But how would I go on training the offensive side against someone less experienced? I wouldnt just want to use them as a punching bag but at the same time im trying to improve if anyone oculd give any ideas ]]> Ask the Trainer hma123 http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingforum/74939-sparring-drills.html
