Lennox teaching Deontay Wilder how to jab

Wilder is a lost cause at this point, he's just going to get by on his power. What Lennox was saying was going in one ear and out the other.

That type of jab is not for everyone. Maybe when you're 8 feet tall but not everyone should hold their hand so far away from their face like that

Too bad Jack Loew wasn't there, he would have been telling Lennox to double up on that effin jab!

How come no one has said anything about the fact that Lewis is living in a ghetto looking place? those are some crappy looking apartments for a guy that's made millions looks like a motel, but you don't know that he stays there maybe it was a rendezvous point, you jump to conclusions quickly don't you?

Wilders trainer had one of the best jabs of his era!! Mark Breland was a terrific boxer and is a good teacher also! What Lennox was asking Wilder to do is simply extend his left hand forward from where he was starting his jab from. One of the negative reason most won't do that is the right hand counter over the jab! Good commentary there, I agree. Breland knows a thing or two about how to throw a jab. Lennox's variation is interesting but isn't necessarily the one and only true way to do it.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a BASIC jabbing lesson Deontay is getting.. I learned everything Deontay did in this video in my first week at the gym. It's common sense and I would think it would be a logical conclusion for most that if you let your arms breathe a little bit more you can snap it out a little faster. Still there's a time and place for everything. There's only 4 types of punches, but the variety you can get out of it is insane. Another reason why I love boxing.

Ever heard the saying "it takes a minute to learn, but a lifetime to master". Now it doesn't take a lifetime to master a jab exactly but it takes a metric **** ton of work and someone that can get the ideas across to their pupil. You're exactly right about this^^ I played WR in college and it took me the better part of 2 years to teach myself to explode from a set position without taking a jab step or backwards step. It seems like a very simple concept but most people can't do it intuitively, 99% of people take a quick, short backward step with their front foot when trying to explode and they don't even realize they do it. Kind of like with this jab. Wilder thinks he is snapping it the way Lewis is and probably doesn't realize at all how much he is pushing it and how much he is giving it away just by bringing it back 1 or 2 inches before throwing it out.

Absolutely terrible!. He should have been looking to double or even triple the jab, and be throwing more 1's and 2's.

To explain to a non boxer that a jab needs to be taught after having boxed for so many years they may find it hard to understand. Don't you learn the jab in your first boxing lesson would be what most think? Ever heard the saying "it takes a minute to learn, but a lifetime to master".

Lennox is really embracing this training/mentoring of younger fighters. " Thats enough for today" :lol1:

One of the negative reason most won't do that is the right hand counter over the jab! Lennox most times fought guys who couldn't get over his jab and that goes for Wilder too! If you have an opponent with equal reach you'd better take heed to where your hands are and if their to far extended the counters will be coming!! Ray.

Wilders got some long ass arms.

to disagree with an earlier poster, Lewis did a great job of making it very simple for Wilder to understand what he was trying to show him. Basically moving his jabbing hand about 4 inches closer to the target and concentrating on that snap and half step. Very nice observation but that is a jab designed for long distance which complimented how Lewis fought and his physical attributes.

it's great wilder's willing to learn i'm sure the boxing experts on here would tell lennox to go f himself they already have an atg jab.

To those bashing Wilder, remember that he hasn't been working with Lennox. Trainers teach different techniques, styles, etc. I think what was happening is that Wilder has been taught to throw the jab a certain way which isn't bad. But Lennox (who is NOT his trainer) was showing him another way of throwing it to get more speed, effectiveness and control out of it. It seemed as if Lennox (or someone else) prompted things to stop when Wilder was bringing up how his trainer was telling him to throw the jab. Maybe Lennox wanted to catch himself from going too far against Wilder's trainer or they'd rather talk about certain things off of the camera. Either way, it DID seems as if Wilder was getting it. It's just that he's been taught a certain way throughout his career and one shadowboxing session after a party at night may not change that right away. It was cool to see though. Lennox focusing on the jab touching his opponent up with speed and accuracy by holding it further out to shoot it from a further position from your guard rather than holding it too close to your chin where it will take longer to get there (even if it has more power).

Lewis would probably beat this cat now

We all love boxing right(obviously)? So pretty much all of us shadow box in the crib now and then. Now I did box in high school and my jab has always been pretty damn good but seeing Lennox throw his. It's like on a different planet. So fast, so crisp, and you know that **** hurts.

Yess... yesss... train him!! Train him just like you trained David Price!!... http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma2ozgDTjM1rf2jmdo1_400.gif

Lol @ Deontay jabbing the air, in the middle of the night, in a carpark Did you see the Audley fight? Throwing punches into thin air is Deontay's speciality.
