To be honest, you need to always be rotating your punches. Thats the problem with a lot of todays young fighters. I read an interview with Degale when he turned pro and he said ''I have just started to learn to rotate my punches''.

And as for the chin, if he keeps it in the air on the pads he will keep it in the air anywhere else. He's a kid, he needs these things engrained in him while he's young.

Im not bashing him, someone posts a video up asking what people think of him.

To be fair to the kid he is just hitting the pads and not hitting them to kill, just working on accuracy. Turning on your punches comes along when you land, thing is people dont get that concept and telegraph their punches. Bernard Hopkins is famous for throwing arm punches and picking your spots to turn on.

thanks for the comments. I think his dad was a kick boxer but the kid is just doing usual boxing.

What size gloves are those?

Screw that kid. I can see he already got a sky high ego with that video title. I would humble him down with a body shot.. I am 20+ but if he agrees and is up for it we can get it on. I dont like him..

Lmaaaaoooo son this kid would take you to school

He needs to be taught how to use his body wieght he dosn't throw his hips or pivot his feet those are all arm punches

Good stuff. Really good stuff.

Perhaps get him to work on his footwork for a couple of training sessions. Like pure footwork training for a week or so. That way he can move around the ring and won't settle into the mind-set of standing right in front of an opponent.

It's all subconscious learning. Although you and him may not be trying to and/or thinking about it. He could easily get used to and/or fall into the mindset of standing stationary in front of his target to throw punches.


That's what I'd suggest to work on next. He's still learning. So why not have him learn subconsciously. He may not like it(maybe he will, who knows?) but you'll be doing something positive for his progression.

Also. I don't know what you guys are getting at with this

"He needs to rotate into the right punch more"

It's a jab. You don't rotate all the much into a jab, first of all. Second, there is limited rotation into a jab anyways.

He could probably rotate more into the left straight. But honestly, your not gonna rotate much into a jab. His jab reminds me of Nonito's. He throws it the same way, with that little forward step as he is throwing.

The best jabs are rotated.
