How can I beat swarmers?

step 1: stay away from internet message boards step 2: ask a real trainer Haha I normally disagree with this guy on everything ... But this is the truth!!! Even if you asked a room full of trainers you'd get a bunch of different answers and that's ok... Because there is more than one way to skin a cat. Difference is a good trainer will tell you how, show you how and eventually you will be showing them how. Green k dude... Doesn't mean Mathysse isn't a bum that wasn't getting rocked by a guy that couldn't touch/hurt Broner ... BRONER! Let that settle.

It depends on what type of fighter you are. Play to your strengths. You can't be something you are not. This is good advice. Instructions need to be simple and understood There's no point telling the guy to throw specific shots when it might not be the guys best punch You should be able to jab Maintain your distance Establish your jab Let him walk onto hard shots Swarmers do not fight at range, they naturally want to get close to you The hard shots you throw are what work for you. Watch the Tyson Lewis fight, from the opening bell Lewis follows the 3 principles Watch how long it takes Tyson to stop swarmng, the shots that hurt him he walks onto. It's a good example as Tyson is one of the greatest swarmer types of all time. As the fight unfolds Lewis who was considered the boxer is referred to as the puncher.... he just followed the 3 principles From early on he's unable to clinch

First line of defense is a jab and lateral movement If they get inside that Second line of defense is a check hook and step off If they get inside that and are in your chest Third line of defense is the right uppercut, short left hook and step off n circle A good jab, especially if you double n triple it on occassion and jabs to the body will slow down and disrupt your opponents attack

Bull Fighter! Center Of The Ring, Circle Him, Turn Him...TIME HIM! If you're really good work off the backfoot and just let him walk into counters and be ready to catch him with Big Shots. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zz3p63WSXZE/TPHh5gQ15WI/AAAAAAAAAfk/Hjn5R1WlkCo/s1600/5.gif http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/article/media_slots/photos/000/639/208/jmm_original.gif?1354824880 https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/DR5iSOjhhoYRMR7o7qau38wWFfU=/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3477342/Thurman_Hook.0.gif Study Juan Manuel Marquez, his style is excellent vs Swarmers especially the Katsidis fight. Yeah he got clipped and dropped with a left hook from Katsidis but still had a good strategy to deal with Katsidis relentlessness! A lot of Swarmers are not that good inside fighters, they want to jump on you but they also need their spacing to get off their punches so you can also get inside and smother their WORK and take away/slow down their swarming

Get in there and go to war!!!!

I have trouble defending myself from nonstop flurry of punches. Become a slugger. You need to land big heavy shots on them and gain respect.

Remain calm. Keep your eyes on him at all times, your natural instincts are going to want to make you close your eyes... If you do you can't see the punches coming and can't counter, fight the urge. Most people at the lower levels (not sure what level you are on) throw predictable combos once you've figured out the pattern start throwing the counter for his next punch ... You don't even need to necessarily land (it would help) but once he realizes you are punching with him and countering well he will back off... Don't be afraid to clinch or smother his work either... It's not pretty but the idea is to make it difficult if he intends on landing nothing free, MAKE THEM PAY!

Be a better swarmer or have superior footwork help....even floyd dont know how to look good vs them, something pac is excellent at....but if u're not known for being a puncher, u need someone like kenny bayless for sure to even have a chance...

Swat a swarmer Maintain distance, establish jab & let him walk onto hard shots Tyson is one the best swarmers in history Watch how Lewis fought him, from the opening bell he swats him

I never had any fights but used to spar alot at the gym. I prefer swarmers, they are predictable, easier to hit, I don't have to think as much and judge when the best time to throw is without getting caught because they help create the offensive opportunities for you. I hated sparring faster more and experienced skilled movers/boxers. You gain an appreciation for these styles only after you face them yourself. I had the same problem with faster counter punchers

Jab, jab, move your feet. And did I mention jab?

You have to have the right attitude. You have to let that swarmer know right from the beginning that you refuse to be swarmed on. YOU REFUSE! You look that swarmer right in the eyes, and you give him the look that says "I will not be bullied. I will not be swarmed on! I'm the boss! I'm the winner!!!!". - Bermuda

shoulder roll, jab, move to the side. lol idk it seems to work well for floyd

Make him miss and make him pay. Hard. Always circle around and dont put on the earmuffs cuz they throw alot & some are bound to land. Mental preparedness is the key.:boxing:

I have trouble defending myself from nonstop flurry of punches. Straight jab and circle to a side; depending on your level of athleticism, you might even be able to get off a nice body jab, before moving. Re-set the person's rhythm.

kick him in the dick
