... that's because he is a 'bobgoblin'

Not all boxers weave. Some prefer to cross stitch.

I've seen fights where Mike Tyson would weave all the way, with his legs at a 20 degree angle. It was like he was doing a full squat. It was so low that the opponent couldn't even uppercut. I was a little shocked, but it worked. Think about it, if your that low, what can they possibly do to you beside using a hammer fist on your head (which does very little).

My opinion is this: Utilize all boxing techniques. There aren't that many, as compared to MMA, so you need to be well rounded and unpredictable.

ok, I give up.... I was hoping to find out what weaving means by following this topic, and I have the suspicion that it has something to do with moving (around), but i can't seem to figure it out...

What is weaving If it is moving, how?

Thanks for the respons

Bobbing and weaving properly and effectively for a sustained period of time requires super conditioning, It takes a tremendous amount of strength and energy to execute effective over any period of time . That why more fighters try and parry punches and step to the side rather then bend at the knee and weave to avoid punches, what happens if you not primo condition is you get caught in a stall because your not executing it fast enough and thus the canvas awaits !

So if i understand correctly, weaving is bending your torso (incl head ) to the left, right of backwards without stepping/moving to avoid the punches? Like diving underneath a hook trown at you, but then sideways?

[Lords Gym]

well you bending the torso right and left pivoting ( shifting you weight from right leg to left leg ), but you use the legs a lot and bend at the knee to avoid punch like hooks and so on. Usually short stocky fighters like Tyson and Vinny Paz Floyd Patterson and several others use it, but to be effective you need to be in that 1986 Mike Tyson Conditioning to pull it off effectively ,

Ok So Not Everyone Bobs And Weave But If You Dont You Should!!!!!



So Start Practicing

Right On Lion King

Not always, do you think you are going to see Valvuav Rolling under shots Tyson style? :P

I hear what you are saying though, you should be able to.

Not Likely

What you see a lot is fighters even some experienced ones , like Jeremy Williams for example . half assing it, by bending at the waist, in stead of bending at the knee , when you bend at the waist your taking your eyes off your opponent momentarily , remember it’s the punch you don’t see that canvases a fighter 9 time outta 10 , that why technique must be mastered , half ass boxing will get ya knockedout !

Notice in this example how Williams bends at the waist to avoid Peters right hook only to pop up and catch the left hook in full swing, he never saw the shot. Williams should have bent at the knee to avoid that right hook , so he could maintain eye contact, ! Jeremy was out for a good 5 min as result of this mistake, an amateur mistake made by a season pro. It just take one mistake guys ! so don't make too many !

[Killerqueen]

lol, i get it know! we practice that alot! we just call it (letterly translated) avoiding or, if it's a hook, diving.

Its all good!!

im just start learning howe to weave in fights im just wondering if all boxers do weaving.?

Not like they should....Everyone has a different style though that is beneficial to them...EG Hopkins and Toney use the shoulder and stay in the pocket...Foreman had the shell defense and learned to roll with punches to take the steam off...Some guys like to catch shots and parry a lot.....It depends on your strengths...The weaving should be a fundamental though...The other styles are ones that you develope in time
