Would someone please be so kind as to explain to me how this works and how it is effective? I have seen pictures and it definitly looks "cool" but is it a good defense? Anything you know about is helpful thanks.

I think its great if done correctly... your sided up which means from that alone u cut yaself down.. 50% (so ur opponent has less of a target)
ppl have diffrent ways of doing it but with me.. I tuck my chin behind lead shoulder(left) and parry punches towards my face with my right hand
and my left arm is blocking my body.. so the "only" place they can really hit me is in the arms... or in the back which is illegal
Like in this pic

he's not gonna hit me in the face cuz ill swat it with my right and cant hit the body cuz my left arm is there.. but yeah he can go for my back if he want to foul meLast edited by McAlister; 04-18-2007, 05:54 PM. -
I think it's great! If the opponent does it :P
Seriously, it's fairly easy to get a guy good, when he's doing the philly shell (except someone like Mayweather, but that's because of him, not the shell).
You can take a look at the video I posted last week, for a little tip on how to deal with it.

IS it where you protect your chin with your shoulder and keeping your lead hand low?Comment

If I remember correctly, RJJ got "philly shelled" the **** out by Glenn Johnson?Comment

In the philly shell defense you can parry quickly but blocked shots will still hurt you....in Fight Night round 3 at least.
Like punchdrunk said, Mayweather uses it but thats Mayweather. Like anything if you can use it for your advantage then its good, but its very difficult for you to be able to actually do it, IMO.Comment

wouldnt a left hook to the body just destroy that style?Comment
