NEW!!!!!!!!! Pad WORK VIDEO, May 8th

[DA1CATAS]

Better.

But.......

First, you have a nasty rookie habit of "taking a picture," i.e., stopping to admire your work. That can, literally, get you killed.

Second, you're gassed after five minutes. Add sprints to your roadwork.

Third, your footwork needs a lot of work. You're just sort of shuffling along; your feet are neither propelling your punches nor helping you get any kind of angle or range. Your feet are the foundation of your boxing style. Start with your footwork. If I had your footwork, I would spend three hours a day in the gym just doing footwork drills for a month or so. . . . come to think of it, I DID have your footwork, and I spent 4 nights a week for a month just doing footwork drills.

Fourth, get those ****ing hands up and keep them there. The only reason to carry that lead hand down is if you're GOOD with your head movement -- having a low jab hand increases your upper body mobility. (Try doing situps with your hands behind your head vs. arms on your stomach. Same principle.) Carrying that low lead hand is ONLY so that you can take advantage of having excellent head movement. Otherwise, it's suicide.

Lastly, learn to move your head. Whether or not you decide to adopt the low-lead guard.

But...........

Better.

Way the hell better than the last videos you posted.

That part just made me laugh.. I mean seriously.. I could imagine the way he said it ..

And the way you imagine it is probably exactly how I would say it to him if he was paired up with me for drills. I am deadly serious about that habit being dangerous.

I am not a good boxer; I am competent at best. But I know the damage I can inflict on someone who has that habit. A real boxer would **** him up. Bad.

Charlie, I have no doubt that you can be taught to box. None. You have decent handspeed, you're young, and you seem intent on it. If you do the work, you have as good a shot as anybody. But if you step into the professional ring anytime soon, you'll be getting coloring books for Christmas for the rest of your life. I am not bull****ting you on this. I would be concerned for your health if not your life. And anyone who'd allow you in the ring right now for anything more than light sparring should have his head examined.

Learn to box. That's why we're here.

FWIW, and not to hijack the thread, I have a fight on June 2nd and I've been promised that this time there will be digital video. So you guys can all rip me to pieces then, too. I'm fighting at light heavy this time, 175 lbs. It oughta be brutal.

I'd love to take credit for that, but it's something one of my sparring partners told me once. Feel free to steal it; I did.

u suck....

[BodyW8]

you lean your head over to one side, very dangerous, exposes your chin more to a hook.

[Young Legend]

Your no where near a pro boxer. I think all the AM boxers on here could easily beat you.

[KingDosia]

I'm going to try to stay positive and constructive with my critisism You've caught a lot of this for some weak ass vids and lack of skills.
A. drop your hands after your jab - you get dropped.
b. leaning out past your center of gravity to try and throw combo's - you get dropped
c. chin not tucked - you get dropped.
d. standing still no foot work - well you get the picture.

Work harder.
