could i ask what other books you find usefull? you seem to have a lot of knowledge of boxing and i am kind of self training as there are no good boxing gyms around here to take lessons, ive been training a while now and my form is ok id just really like to find out some more set ups i think theyre called like ''the outside triple'' and also i think its called ''drop shifting'' is really good ive been using it during sparring with a left hook or jab/cross for a while now without the short step back with the lead foot, but now trying it with the short drop back of the lead foot is working out a lot smoother for me, i found that a lot of things ihave learned from this book i have been able to use to great effect in sparring straight away thank you again and sorry for the bad grammar

Hi Wayne. There are a couple more books that I can recommend. There's Curtis Cokes' The Complete Book of Boxing, and J.C. Thomas' How to Be an Ass-Whipping Boxer. Curtis Cokes' book is great, you'll want to read it with a pen in hand as there are a lot of parts that should be highlighted and reread multiple times. You'll probably become eager to get the ideas off of the page and into actual practice.

In J.C. Thomas's book, he advocates a stance akin to George Benton and the Mayweathers. He often speaks with a self-promotional tone, but the techniques that he teaches makes the book rewarding. However it's not a book for beginners.

You should also browse the Boxing E-books thread in the Important/Useful posts section. There's a couple more interesting books that you'll want to read, see Jack Dempsey's Championship Fighting, and Ross Enamait's In The Ring.

As for picking up new moves and incorporating it into your boxing, one of the best ways is to watch good fighters and try to incorporate their moves into your style. Remember that some of the moves won't work for you, but if you find something that impresses you should practice it. Also realize that watching fighters on your screen is different when you're standing in front of an opponent. The real learning is when you try out different things in the ring. Watch as many fights as you can. Get yourself some favorites, and watch some guys that you would like to emulate.

Thank you for your reply mate, ive just had a glance at the useful post section i cant believe i missed it before its like finding a gold mine so much material, i think ill go for the J.C. Thomas book first as i seemd to naturally box out of a crouch and shoulder roll a lot when i first started sparring before i even knew what it was that i was doing, so maybe that style will suit me?. im still enjoying studying the E.L. Haislet book, plenty to learn and try and encorporate into my sparring sessions yet til im ready to move on to the next book, thanks again for the references and advice mate its much appreciated and u can bet ill be back picking ur brain again sometime in the near future :P
