Watch this match between Alexis Arguello and Kobayashi. At 2:28 Arguello throws a one-two combo. It knocks Kobayashi back into the ropes. But keep rewatching it starting from 2:28 and focus on Arguellos lead foot. I can swear to you that i see him take one normal step, and then a TINY little step forward right after. While hes throwing his jab. Its kind of hard to tell from the camera angle. But you can see his knee and hip bounce once then twice very subtly while he is throwing out his jab.
Do you guys see this or am i really just tripping on something in the air?
Now one reason i am asking this is because, a fighter at my gym told me to take just the slightest step forward and out with my lead foot as i am throwing a cross and it will add alot of weight and extra oomph into the straight. I tried it, and lo and behold! it DID add power to my cross. So i was wondering if what Arguello was doing was adding that extra falling step into his one two combo for power.
Or could it be that he was doing it for timing. Because it looks like hes doing the double step that goes along with the double jab, but he leaves out the first jab. So maybe its just more of a timing trick?
Trainers and posters alike. im calling upon your eagle eyes and knowledge. Did Arguello even DO a double step or am i seeing things? and if he DID in fact do it, then would my speculations on WHY he did it be correct?
help me out here guys im stumped thanks in advance
