my coaches dont like the way of i fight

[brocktonblockbust]

Dont know which guy you are---but the guy in the red shirt is holding his right hand so fucking low----he would get his jawbone left-hooked right the fuck off in the 1st round.

[brocktonblockbust]

also what ounce gloves are those and shouldnt this be done with headprotection, seeing as you guys are amateurs?

[brocktonblockbust]

i thought your speed was good and good head mvement. too. But i also thougth your lead-off right hands were telegraphed a bit. but your movement is good, looks like you are standing too squared-up sometimes in close especially. keep it up!

16 ounce I guess. We went really light.

I know. I try to imitate the movement of Pernell Whitaker or Billy Dib. Not a good copy, I know.

whitaker was 1 in a million---be careful. I think you are quick which is a positive. Keep your hands up and chin down a bit more, your chin looks like a nice target

Anybody with an ounce of footwork who can jab a bit will give you all kinds of trouble, luckily for you the other kid could do neither. Master the basics, get a more complete boxing brain and THEN try to be clever.

this.

until you have a firm grip of the basics you have no business wanting to lower hands and getting cute. Not if you want to be the best you possibly can. Just because top tier fighters can do all those things doesn't mean they don't have a firm grip of the basics in their arsenal. In fact, most dedicated good fighters at the top of the boxer world will often come back to the basics when things begin falling apart.

Consider it your foundation to which all else is built.

What you are trying to do is fascinating to me. I've never seen Jimmy Wilde fight, but from what I've read and some still pictures I've seen I picture his style kind of like what you are doing.
If I were your trainer we would get to work on your feet; you get them in bad spots too often and this keeps you from punching with leverage. There is no point in making them miss if you don't counter, so that would be something else we would work on, slip and counter, and, when you counter, punch for real. We would address all the wasted motion and hyper-activity. You may have energy to burn in 3 rounds, but you don't waste it as your fights get longer.

This reminds me of the NAZ way of thinking. Fun and effective until you meet your Marco Antonio Barrera a sound poilished pure boxer. Then all of your creativity and unorthodox ways become weaknesses instead of strengths.

If you applied your relfexes, handspeed and speedy footwork to the fundamentals you will be much happier in the long run.

Best of luck.

A big thank for you just reminding me why I box like that.

As an Asian, I am way too light compared to normal Aussie bloke. I have to spar with guys far more bigger than me. Otherwise, I wouldnt have sparring partner at all. To be beat up by overwhelmed power quite often, I have to work out something out of the box. Every punch I throw, I try to slip or step to left or right to maximize punching power and stay away from counter. Keep moving while punching to the spot which make them really uncomfortable. Staying in front of bigger guys and exchanging punches is the last thing I want to do. For me, the straight punches are not quite effective against these big guys with longer reach. I have to throw punches from very weird angle to counter or surprise them. One example is sometimes I drop the right hand on purpose and give them something to shoot, I throw cross from under to counter as soon as I see the left hook or jab coming. Otherwise I would not have chance to get close.

Sometimes these technique work and everyone is impressed, sometimes I still got beat up really badly.

I guess that is how Jimmy Wilde fight against bigger boxers.

so true

You have potential. Don't squander it by not learning the textbook and by fighting that way.
