Lennox teaching Deontay Wilder how to jab

[illmaticfighter]

it's great wilder's willing to learn i'm sure the boxing experts on here would tell lennox to go f himself they already have an atg jab.

to disagree with an earlier poster, Lewis did a great job of making it very simple for Wilder to understand what he was trying to show him. Basically moving his jabbing hand about 4 inches closer to the target and concentrating on that snap and half step. Very nice observation but that is a jab designed for long distance which complimented how Lewis fought and his physical attributes.

Wilders got some long ass arms.

Wilders trainer had one of the best jabs of his era!! Mark Breland was a terrific boxer and is a good teacher also! What Lennox was asking Wilder to do is simply extend his left hand forward from where he was starting his jab from. One of the negative reason most won't do that is the right hand counter over the jab! Lennox most times fought guys who couldn't get over his jab and that goes for Wilder too! If you have an opponent with equal reach you'd better take heed to where your hands are and if their to far extended the counters will be coming!! Ray.

Lennox is really embracing this training/mentoring of younger fighters. " Thats enough for today"

To explain to a non boxer that a jab needs to be taught after having boxed for so many years they may find it hard to understand.

Don't you learn the jab in your first boxing lesson would be what most think?

Ever heard the saying "it takes a minute to learn, but a lifetime to master". Now it doesn't take a lifetime to master a jab exactly but it takes a metric **** ton of work and someone that can get the ideas across to their pupil.

Where on earth is Lewis living at? That place looks like an area where peasants live. With all the million Lewis has made he should be living like royalty.

What's up with his money?

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

Absolutely terrible!.

He should have been looking to double or even triple the jab, and be throwing more 1's and 2's.

You're exactly right about this^^

I played WR in college and it took me the better part of 2 years to teach myself to explode from a set position without taking a jab step or backwards step.

It seems like a very simple concept but most people can't do it intuitively, 99% of people take a quick, short backward step with their front foot when trying to explode and they don't even realize they do it.

Kind of like with this jab. Wilder thinks he is snapping it the way Lewis is and probably doesn't realize at all how much he is pushing it and how much he is giving it away just by bringing it back 1 or 2 inches before throwing it out.
