Boxing styles discussion

[hma123]

As I've been popping my head in threads here and there I have seen a lot of input and also questions regarding different styles of boxing ie; cuban style,russian style,european and so on........ I myself is looking to innovate and learn the difference in their styles (posture/offense/defense)

As someone that trains out of your every day boxing gym in the US I dont have the leisure of training with a world class trainer or being able to travel to different countries to learn their art (as most of you are the same im sure!)


That's why I've decided to make a thread to see what people have to say on the forum regarding their styles.

For example, what's the difference between your common "everyday" hook you see in boxing to a cuban hook?
Or how's the footwork and guards different from a russian to mexican?


I've tried to do some searching on google and youtube but not much has came up.
For anyone to throw some knowledge on here is much appreciated not just to me but I am sure a lot of other people.

Im pretty sure (could be wrong) people refer to a more brawling/untechnical style as a Mexican style.


A European style would be very technical.


Russian and Cuban I have no idea. Maybe Cuban is similar to Mexican and Russian similar to European.
