just for ****s and giggles gentleman, not trying to prove anything here cept that i figured out how to use my camera phone and email myself the vid... plus i only had 15 seconds and a ***** of a pulled quad muscle.

if there is any demand i might post up a "87 consecutive behind the back power bombs" vid later this week...

just a little background... im 25, been training for 3 months now, havent had an amateur fight as ive decided im gonna get lasic before i start competitive fighting.. im 6'3 and 185..

at the very least you can get a sorry ass look at the best fight predictor on the site:boxing:

anyhow here it is...

Not bad. I noticed when you throw a jab your right arm drifts down, try to sort this out as if you fight, your opponent will counter you with left hooks all the way.
Props for posting vid. :boxing:

GOOD power and pretty quick..but your hands are pretty low..never loose your stance..when you throw that right,let your shoulder block your chin and back in to stance..when you throw that left,let your shoulder block your chin and back in to stance..good stuff dawg

Not bad for 3 months of training. :)

thanks fellas for the advice, especially about keeping stance, that is my biggest trouble so far... prob a little moreso than normal in this vid cause i was just tryin to open up a little knowing i only had a short recording frame.

cool.Not bad at all for 3 months you even kept your hands up.

ehhh, i keep em up a little, but this was more of my mortal combat finishing move...

i was a little apprehensive about posting this the way some people get flamed so thanks for taking it easy on me guys.:boxing:

i did however take a look at some of the other pathetic heavybag videos people post up on youtube and i guess i shouldnt worry

Hitman is a top fight predictor, I'll give you that. You look fit but you need to make it absolutely instinctive to not drop your hands. It's one thing to say 'I usually keep them up', but if it's even possible to drop a hand low then you need to work on that.

oh i know its a problem cause i get hit too much when sparring, i left with a black eye the first three times cause id leave my left low and get countered over the top.. so its something im aware of.. i just made the video mostly to see if i was keeping good distance, balance and throwing straight shots.

do u know of any particular training methods geared towards breaking the habit

I'm not qualified to train anyone, so don't take my advice to heart. But in my mind it's just practice. I'm being honest when I say I can't throw a jab, not even at the miirror, and bring my hand low. I can't do it because I ingrained it in me as a kid to bring it right back in front of my face. I'd guess maybe you should try just jabbing the bag, like throw 100 or 200 jabes focusing on your hand and shoulder after you snap it. If you just throw combination you have too many things to think about.

But like I said take Punch Drunk's advice, whatever he'll tell you, and NOT mine.

At your height and weight it would appear that you will have the size advantage. It is not clear from the video if you are likely to have a reach advantage. As a matter of fact the video makes your arms appear to be a bit short, but that could be just an optical illusion. Reach is a big issue in boxing and it has to affect how you develop your style. If you are a tall man with short arms, you must develop excellent defensive skills. You may have noticed that tall men with long arms tend to be a bit sloppy with defense. They can get away with it because they are usually out of reach!

yeah, i can make 178 pounds without much trouble so thats where ill be fighting... so i should have the height on 9 out of 10 guys.. my reach is neither exceptional or unexceptional... im 75.5 inches tall and my reach is 76 from tip to tip... i def train myself to fight from the outside and use the jab a lot.... you dont realize until youre in there with someone good how subtle yet important defensive moves are, def having a much harder time mastering the slipping and ducking than how to throw any one punch or combination of them.

76 inches? :thinking:

On his website James Toney has his reach listed at 76 inches yet he has to wear a thick pair of socks to make 5'10" Muhammad Ali was about your height yet he had a reach of about 81 inches as I recall. Once you have to face some of these long-armed boxers, you are going to find out just important the reach issue really is. Clearly you need good defensive skills to survive in boxing, my guess is counterpunching will become an integral part of your style. Be sure you learn the basics before you commit to a style.

boxrec has toneys reach as 72.. my website can add 4 inches to my reach when the time comes... no problem there

ali was a heavyweight, im a light heavy

i am as tall and have as long a reach as antonio tarver and chad dawson, it is the norm for humans reach to be equal to their height... my reach is greater than my height by more than an inch??

u just bein a dick or what?

Damn...you are a pretty big dude for 185. Aint very quick or athletic though. My bro is 6'4'', 215 and he has more handspeed then you.

I didn't mean to offend you. What I am trying to say is that the top boxers tend to have the longest reach. Boxing isn't a competition to see who has the longest reach, but the man with the longest reach tends to have the advantage. Sooner or later you will have to face shorter men who have longer arms, who also have good boxing skills. There is more than one way for you to deal with this problem, but you must be prepared for it in advance.

Over the years I have seen so many young guys lose fights that they might have won if they had been aware of the problems they were sure to face.
