Blending Head Movement With Punching

[jahmez]

I think range depends on the fighter. Ali was a master at fighting at the edge of range but imagine if he tried to fight Frazier on the inside. That being said I think its important to know how to fight at all ranges. Sooner or later guys like Frazier meet a bigger puncher than themselves and just don't seem to know how to deal with the situation. Margarito-Cotto also comes to mind.

I think my main reason for disagreeing with your final point in that perticular post was because i didnt quite understand what you meant by ''on the edge of range'' personally when i fight on the edge of range i dont feel quite as under pressure neither do my opponents seem to be feeling the pressure this is what makes me think i missunderstood what you mean by just out of range, i think this is because disolving the power of a shot at this range as its usually going to be a straight shot seems to be much easier and leaves more allowance for errors in defencive choices, perhaps its a matter of preferance i couldnt really say as its not a subject ive really disscussed with someone prefering infighting i suppose people are comfortable with what they do most but for me the closer range is definently the one that adds pressure as the variety of shots/angles are increased as well as power, maybe this is just me and the range i have gotten used to fighting from but maybe im wrong and even infighters feel more pressure in range than they do just outside of range even though they have most success on the inside therefore thats the range they choose to fight from most, but i cant really speak for other people, anyways im babbling, but basically re reading your post and your statement that just out of range adds pressure makes me think that what you referd to as just out of range may be the range that i refer to as in range and if it is then what i was trying to say is i have a bad habit or fighting completely out of range and that this is a hard habit to get rid of and a bad habit unless your goal is to jab and move essentially winning a match utilizing the jab as the main point scorer rather than trying to end the fight quick using in range shots, which is a style of fighting im trying to improve on myself to broaden my strategies, i know this post is a mess but its late my apologies for the dissagreement as i think i simply took the term ''just out of range'' the wrong way and mistaken it for being completely out of range, im going to sleep now because im making this post worse the longer i spend on it lol

Hey Wayne

Loved you post. Whatever happens from now on, I'm now officially a 'Wayne fan'. You obviously put a lot of thought into your boxing mate, and in my experience the boxers that run through scenarios in the way you do are the ones who reap most rewards.

Take it steady mate, hope you enjoyed your sleep!

hehe, thanks m8 i did enjoy my sleep, i must say i do think alot about boxing im loving it at the moment my gf is sick of hearing about it, but i must say i also enjoy your posts for the same reason, some people think of boxing as a no brainers sport, i guess in some cases they are right but i like to think there can be more of a science about how you can approach a fight aswell and i think its this that draws me to boxing as many other combat sports seem to be lacking in this quality, i took a look through your site and might i say youve done a very good job clearly you have spent alot of time on it and it shows, i especially like the fact that you point out their is a difference between how each punch is executed depending on the range its delivered from which is important and often missed out both online and in the gym, aswell its one of the best online sources ive seen for an accurate description of how to slip most effectivley, very precise work, also you have intrigued me, this teleporting you speak of i can say ive never heared about before sounds very interesting
