    Default Are greynotsoolds mechanics boxing or are they no longer boxing technque?

    What he recommends and with I think good experienced judgement is something thats very far removed from what the majority of boxing gyms would teach you.

    Things like having the weight infront of you or on the front foot before a cross or the rear foot before a hook, these recommendations fly in the face of boxers everywhere, its the very opposite of what is being taught.

    Do you think what he teaches is superior to modern mechanics and can it be classed as boxing technique since it is so different from what everyone is doing?

    What exactly are his mechanics? Weight starting on the front foot before a cross? I thought his posts said the exact opposite.

    (i) The majority of boxing gyms do not produce elite level boxers.

    (ii)Mechanics are mechanics, the human body is a constant. Boxing is boxing.

    The hardest punchers of all time fought off the back foot joe Louis, rocky marciano and Mike Tyson. Yes Tyson threw the right hand in the exact weight distribution that grey recommends.
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=18F3A6zCILw Mike clearly has his weight on the front foot before the right hand.

    How do you throw a cross with the weight on you back foot?
    Makes no sense you need to transfer the weight to your back foot from your front foot to punch correctly.

    Im with you, if you are a good boxer and have all the routines down; its time to learn know instinctively when you can get away with all the other moves not taught because they could get the novice in trouble if they moved into one at the wrong time. Theres a big difference between fighting at your own skill level and pushing those limits to fighting to the opponents level and pushing his out of his bounds. There is a point where an unlearning curve can apply.

    But I cant understand it for you.

    It actually can be done, and is the way to throw a perfectly straight right hand. It's hard to describe, but by focusing on pulling the left shoulder back and dropping down on your right hip you can turn your body while your weight stays mostly on the back foot. It's a good punch, very solidly rooted, balanced and hard to see. The problem with throwing it like that is the range, it has to be set up well or you won't reach, though the hidden advantage there is you don't give your head when throwing it.

    Isn't this how Mike Tyson throws the right hand?

    Looks like he maybe rolling his shoulders forward or as scraps says let the shoulder hit your chin.

    Sure but that doesn't have anything to do with where his weight is.
