how do i beat this sloppy guy in our backyard boxing?

[Peterp]

Damm this is some funny ****

You are both leaving your punches out there, no snapping back at all,

You are both so wide open it isn't funny.

But i'll give you some advice to help beat this joker

Learn the full guard, keeping your hands up, let him attack you and take his punches on your gloves/arms ala Winky Wright, when his attack has finished, whilst his hands are all over the place and his chin exposed, hit back with straight punches from your full guard position to his exposed chin, as he recoils back from this shots, hit him with a power overhand right or right hook.

I've had 8 amatuer fights myself and I agree with EvilMeat. You have to compose youeself, which comes quicker for some fighters than for others. It's something you get better at as you fight. This is why fighters do so much roadwork. You have to be in good shape, even just to go 3 rounds.

Keep your hands high like Winky Wright as he throws his shots. This will block shots and also discourage him as he sees his inability to land as much on you.

Damn I've never taken a boxing lesson but even I have more technique...My lil cousin could probably beat on ya'll.. But its maybe cus my step-dad was a boxer and we are always play fighting and hes taught me a bit. Dude hops around to much try to cut him off get in close and get him of balance.

Oh and relax take your time and try to pace yourself through out the round don't just go swinging away, don't get discouraged, if you get hit don't get angry keep a cool head and stay relaxed, let that **** flow.

Do you guys hit like seriously or just fooling around because those punches are pretty useless... Try joining a gym so you could learn the basics at least.

Any guy with a weeks worth of boxing experience would kill this guy.

1.) Don't be so scared of getting hit. You're leaning away nearly every time you throw a punch, and you're flailing wildly when he swings because you don't want to get hit. You're going to get hit. Swimmers get wet; boxers get hit.

2.) Get your ****ing hands back after you punch. Think of snapping a towel. The force of your jab should come from pulling it back. (Excepting Dempsey's drop-step or a heavy, stunning jab; but A.) you're not ready for those yet; and B.) even those punches need to be snapped right back.)

3.) Keep your chin down.

4.) Keep one hand in front of your face, every time you punch. "Close the gate" -- even getting a sliver of your glove in front of his punch will be enough to keep you from getting your bell rung. There's no reason to swing your arms out wildly in powerful blocks. Use your elbows to block bodyshots. Letting his punches come in and blocking them close gives you twice as much time to react.

4a.) Your knuckles should touch your eyebrows. Doubly true since you don't have headgear. This will keep him from knocking your gloves into your face.

5.) He's a brawler (using the term loosely; he doesn't box well enough to even deserve a classification) so step in immediately with the jab -- keep it crisp and keep your other hand up! -- and whack him with it. Get him covering up and make him have to analyze what he's doing; brawlers hate that -- often, brawlers don't have many other strategies (and this assdagger certainly doesn't) ; make him think that his one trick won't work, and you will crush his spirit immediately. Once you've flattened his ego, step in with crisp jabs and kick his ass.

6.) Get boxing lessons. You show some heart, scrapping with a guy that much bigger than you. Take that heart and do something with it.
