Problem in training

Thanks for the tip Andre. I came across Vasyl Lomachenko from Ukraine and was wondering if a style similar to his "peek-a-boo" style would possibly benefit me?

I dont know about fixing onto one style. If you can learn when to use it and when to leave it; I think good, but then leave it there and use other stuff that works when you know it works.

Who was who Blue ukraine ,red russia? Is it the blue dude you mean?

The guy in the blue was peek a booing more than the red guy and it wasnt working out too well for him early on, the other dude was measuring him off the end of his jab and beating him to the draw quite easily in the start of the first round because of it.

Then I saw the red guy at it at times too later, also the guy in red was leaning over to the right and backwards alot to avoid the left hand some people would see that twice and next time shuffle forwards and have him meeting up with a right bomb when he was him comming back up.

I think if you can read your opponent very well or if they are comming straight with straight shots more , if they have come in cold or maybe cant open up for some other reason: if you peek a boo roll to lure them in, roll under their jab and catch them from a coiled position with added leg force behind your shot you can change a fight (at least, change their mind slightly while you jump on them).

Julio Cesar Chavez would be a good fighter for you to watch.

Thanks guys. A little background information on me. I have been training for about 9 months now. I've been athletic and active my whole life (played baseball and basketball growing up and in highschool wrestled and bodybuilded). I got up to around 200lbs at 5'6 lean, from a powerlifting and bodybuilding type of routine. It was for bodybuilding competition. I needed a new hobby/lifestyle and then took up boxing. I dropped the weights and just started running a lot to lose some of the mass.
Now I am boxing and am around 155-160 lbs. I still have some mass left to lose. And not to sound like I am tooting my own horn, but I am extremely explosive and quick (at 5'6 I can almost dunk a basketball, my vertical is extremely high, definitely high 30's). Although I am short, (5'6) it is not so bad because I have very long arms for my height. I am just learning how to use it properly. I haven't had any matches yet, I am training hard before diving right in.
