Describe the Japanese Boxing Style

[GrandpaBernard]

Pretty much.

They seem to stick to the classical, traditional style. Which is not necessarily an insult.

Do you mean classical as in Joe Louis, Charley Burley, Mayweather, etc or the basic upright styles commonly found throughout Europe

Like Joe Louis. Alexis Arguello. Ricardo Lopez.

You typically won't see Philly shells, crouching Rocky Marcianos, or Naseem Hameds coming out of Japan.

Should be good to watch. Form focused fighters

NOt all fight the same. Most are willing to exchange but like mexican fighters, some take much more damage.

I find two styles. I find the take the first punch counter puncher boxer who relies on taking the first couple punches to land a bomb and a combination. This is a the muira type

The other type is inou type. This is the most impressive. More like a ninja pacman type. Combinations from all angles, blazing speed, and power to back it up. These type of fighters are underrated in boxing circles--- It may be because they are in smaller weight classes

Ive noticed the Japanese puts alot of emphasize on technical boxing and fundamentals, they take boxing very seriously and most of them are fully dedicated, as Japanese ppl are generally very patriotic and they have alot of pride for their own, this goes for boxing aswell
So usually when you see a Japanese top prospect youll likely see fighters that are highly technically skilled.
One thing that ive noticed about pretty much every japanese fighter is that they dont seem to put alot of work in their defense, they are usually well taught when it comes to moving and dodging and slipping punches, but when it comes to defending punches with their guard theyre usually lacking in that compartment, which you could see recently in Yamanaka vs Moreno 2 and Naoya Inoue vs the Thai fighter in his last fight, alot of silly shots gets thru their guards even tho theyre the top of Japanese boxing scene, while i really like Yamanaka as a fighter, if Moreno had more power he wouldve probably koed Yamanaka with that counter right hook in the 2nd fight

So in summary: Generally very well taught, technically sound, movement and fundamentals, lacking in the defense compartment

And this is coming from some1 who watches alot of Japanese boxing

japanese fighters are **** for the most part, dont know about any specific style but they arent very good thats for sure

[KingHippo]

Yes, technically simple but sound and precise. By the book fighters.

Accumulation of punishment usually gets to them although there have been a few exceptions.

In my opinion.

That pretty much.

Solid fundamentals, good counter punchers, precise footwork, economical movement, simple but effective punch selection.

[techliam]

Like Mexican fighters, but more relentless and sit on their shots more.

They don't all fight alike though. Miura/Tomoki Kameda have a very Mexican style of fighting. They will wear you down. Yaegashi is a Japanese light Flyweight version of Rocky Balboa.

Yamanaka has an extremely high output like Santa Cruz, but can change his style to land bombs whilst being outboxed (like Uchiyama). Inoue is a very good boxer puncher, and I haven't seen a Japanese fighter quite like him.

Ioka is another come forward fighter, though I'd describe him as a 'boxer puncher' too. He was shining brightly at 105/108, but at 112 seems to have peaked for some reason.

This is spot on

You prove over and over again that you dont know anything about boxing, youre pathetic man
