It's about time for boxing trainers to stop teaching the shell d.

Iv'e never seen an exceptionally fast
guy use it tho.......wonder how that'd work out?

Mayweather employed it when he fought Judah and from what I saw it worked pretty well

he's not a pro fighter and obviously ams are different than the pros but Vasyl Lomanchenko is pretty fast and uses a high guard shell

Lomanchenko didn't go pro yet?

Nothing wrong with that defense. Problem is that AA/ Clottey don't have the upper body movement to be more effective with it.

With Paul Williams against Winky as the first instance, right?

Correct.


El cabron. I think you are definitely right. All I'm saying is that it might be possible that the style has been figured out. Is it possible that a blueprint has been laid out?

Winky disagrees with you

So does Dwight Qawi….

Well, still textbook boxing gym stylee.

Fighters just need to learn how to use it correctly. Clottey uses it ineffectively because he doesn't know how to mix up his defense and offense. Fighters like Wright used it very effectively.

Like against pwill? Used is the key word in your post.

I'm wondering if a gameplan has been poven to work v the shell d. The shell d kryptonite you could say.

That defense is great for fighters who come at you. When someone can move in and out after their combinations it's a different story. AA is different than Winky and Clottey though because he's a puncher. Dirrell fought a brilliant fight and Pacquiao is a machine. Not many other fights can make the shell look that bad. Maybe Calzaghe.
