A Boxing Moral Dilemma

[Andre]

Fight defensivley but thoughtfully.
enjoy your defencive skills and use them so you guide the opposition out into an area where they go for a shot that your underneath cause you know they are going there before they even think it.
Then you go for the finish because you earned it.

Thats a dream worth persueing.

IF your a great defensive fighter you can get away with so much more than the others.
You can even get smart on timing, if they are slower and you can read them on one of their shots then for example you can even follow their shots back home with your head and body and choke them out on one side for instance. You know they will try one or two things with you that close and into one of their sides like that ;so you plan one or two things in responce.

I envy you your disposition because you can experiment and create a pattern for them to fall into just for your favorite endings if you care to think them out ,on their reactions to where you've put them.

IF you know where someones going before they do, you own them.

Cool, Nice post Andre!

I definitely agree with the last statement tooby the way.
I've become pretty adapt at cutting off the ring, not by my own movements as you would expect, but by causing the opponent to react in the way I want. I fent with a few lefts he'll go right for me. If I take a step to the right he'll go to my left (where a hook will be waiting for him)

So yeah, I completely dig what you're sayong here.

Thought I'd play around with the idea
You can design things on what you know of your opponent too like when meeting the same fighter the second time or when you know his power limits at the end of the fight etc.

EG: Opening up a hip by placing alot of your weight over one leg with the foot splayed out when in real close gets you out of bother and sets you up into alignment for a devestating end shot (if you can get him to play along in the middle part.)

So ... your nose to nose , your on the ropes ,because you went back there for this whole reason its a plan;

Lets say your not scared of his left 'in close' at all, his right is the one, so you lean over on your right foot and leave him a shot ,a free shot with his left. A tight hook is all he can get off, you roll with it but go down and around from the inside to outside your left glove is high and guarded against his right. ,you've been blocking parring his rights shots off with a mixture of full arm guard and the odd elbow meets his wrist trick , which places a slight question in his head subtely.
So you then give him a free one on the other side, not a clean shot cause your gloves up at that stage anyway and your already all set to roll with it, your watching his right hand the whole time and he knows it too,you have it covered.
When you feel his left land ,your own left hand drops away as does your right glove just after wards, as your feet start to move too; because he cant throw two shots at this same time and the saftey is in your timing and knowing.

your right glove is down by your hip as you've come under his left hook ,your left glove goes straight up next to your own chin as you turn and open up your hip ; it's a gay assed ,straight up the centre shot that lands clean which takes his left arm even further over to his centre in reaction to this weird beep to his nose.
Your right bomb is fully loaded and now has total right of way as you correct your feet and let him have it over his left elbow which has moved further away in the initial reaction.
The feet go ,right foot steps out on slight splay (land your left as you go down slightly) then left foot goes around the back of you as you come over his left with a fully loaded right gun.
At worse your out of there and still landing as he turns back to see where your at.
IF he collapses or tries to fold and run the other way you keep the close distance and are all over him.
