People on this site who have never boxed, thinks everyone who has been dropped, buzzed, etc has a glass jaw.
Its about timing, and distance. The shot that dropped me wasn't the hardest punch I ever took. I saw it coming, I tried to time his punch to land a counter but I let him get too close in my range
its a learning experience. I got up, dusted myself off and adapted my style....took his right hand way...his best punch
boxing is about adapting not rock em sock em robots
Andre Ward touched on this as well and so do so many other fighters...its not about getting knocked down, its about how you respond when you get up
round 1
its around 1:26

Winter is coming here in japan, my face & hands hurt as it gets colder.
Soon it my girl will stop asking me to open jars.
I love boxing, my grand father was a fighter, but perhaps the lingering damage to fighters needs to be investigated more?

Originally posted by _original_ View PostGood stuff man, most people would have called it a day after the knock down, well composed.
I wanted to see what i could do to avoid that shot and land the one i attempted when i got dropped...dialed in and made it happen...landed it a few times

From what I could see your jab is too lazy and thrown from too far out your feet are very wide which is making it hard for you to fire and get out without being countered , tighten your game get closer and snap those jabs out .
Thanks for posting .
