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.Comment

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.Comment

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).Comment
