if you plan on learning this guard plan on taking literally thousands of clean and hard shots over the next few years...its not easy to pull off and the only reason they look good doing it is because they have YEARS of experience, not weeks or months. i've been working on it for about 2 years and i still get hit a lot, but its all a process i guess. if you wanna see a high profile pro thats not very good at it, but insists upon using it for one reason or another, watch joan guzman. now that he is training with mayweather sr. it will get better, however.

two pointers: dont even bother trying this defense if a-you dont have a good chin, or b- you dont have an excellent radar.
