From the Orthodox Stance
1= Jab
2= Straight Right
3= Left Hook
4= Right Hook
5= Right Body
6= Left Body
7= Right Uppercut
8= Left Uppercut
9= Overhand Right

If you listen to the corner and some fights they will call out number to their boxers. "1 then double the 2" or " 6 to the body then come across with a 9" Some Coaches and Boxer switch up the numbers.

never heard that before, when im hittin the pads the coach also just calls out the punches

no upperhook?

I'll take that as a compliment, I must have really impressed you huh

You dont got speed, er should I say the guy you found on youtube has no speed and would get tagged too much in a real boxing match


You fight like you got weights weighin down your fists

[AKATheMack]

I used to box amateur and I still spar down at the gym. Im much better at punching than I am boxing though.

I have had conversations with this personal trainer at my gym (good friend of mine). He played football (College and NFL), we always disagree on the same thing.

he says that Football players are some of the in the best shape athletes around (I think he is biased), I happen to think boxers are...And in my veiw, it's not even close.

A serious fighter, is damn near a machine! That is my veiw anyway.

I sparred this football player from Baylor and he was gasping for air by the third round.

We just call it a normal hook, just at a different angle.

I'm currently in training to join the Lock Haven boxing team.

I've been in strict training for almost two months, sparring, running pads ect...

I've loss a lot a weight and I'm improving.

I train with these guys.

I'm actually taping this.

Football players are in pretty good shape i must admit. I had this college professor who used to play football for VA Tech and he had a Phd in Chemistry.

Anyway, he said he was doing some work for NASA and came in contact with some type of chemical, I forgot which, and he had tiny rip in his gloves and the chemical slightly made contact with his skin and apparently got absorbed into his blood stream, without his knowledge.

That night, he had heart palpitations and a heavy fever. He called his employer and they looked up what job he had done that day and told him to immediately go to the hospital. Once there, they told him that the chemical he got on his finger was super toxic and had he not been is such good condition at the time, he would have died. Actually they said it was a miracle he survived and 99% of people in his situation would have died and they attributed his survival to his level of cardiac fitness.

Not to say that football players are in better shape than boxers but I think they are in pretty good form. Throwing punches though takes a ton more energy than people think and I'd say boxing is one of the most physically demanding sports if not the most demanding. A while ago, there was this thing on ESPN that ranked all the sports and boxing was at the top of the list in terms of physical demands on the body.

Sorry for the long story but thought it was interesting and pertinent to what you were saying.

Good read Brotha!!!

My brother and I also played football, my brother at a very high level also. As with anything, if you are serious, you train year round.

My brotha now works in the prison system (CO), and he spoke of his time at the academy. Keep in mind my brother does not smoke or drink, and has kept himself in very good shape over the years. He still runs, and does stairs on a daily basis. He stated at the academy they did something called 2 minute fights...They would hit the pads for two minutes straight. He stated that he had never done any thing harder in his life. I told him "now you see how I felt"!!!

I guess it is not fair to say that "it is not even close", but the training I did for boxing was the hardest thing I have done in my life! Football, not so much.
