  • Out-Box or March-In?

    All these sparring (some, though, I would hardly call actual sparring) videos seem to just have two guys fully intent on out-boxing, but that isn't everyone's style..

    Anyone else just march in? Hell, anyone an in-fighter, pressure fighter, or even brawler? I'm no brawler, but I don't mind being hit too bad, and I love to march, lean, march, stalk, punch, lean. And anyone have a video of them bringing the heat for an entire round?

    well, if it suits ur style, then more power to u, but me personally, i like to box cuz thats where my game is. sometimes i have to get inside and unleash, but i am content to box, i would say i more like box / brawl. cuz i start off boxing and sometimes i jus get in there and start trading, then reset, then go again. it depends on who i'm fighting.

      i find most amatuer boxers are very uncomforatble when you charge in. i am 6'5 but i still often ge to the inside because the vast majority of boxers are weaker there

        See since I still suck and haven't learned to "box" yet, I'm much more content with pressuring and trying to go inside and throw body shots, even if I take a little punishment to do it. My goal is to learn how to "box" rather than brawl, but seeing as how I haven't really grasped gauging my distance yet or learned how to use the jab effectively, I seem to fall back on pressuring.

          I used to be Mayorga's little brother in the ring.. just bigger with more accuracy. (Seen in my last fight) But I wouldn't train that way Ever. Never sparred that way either. It just happened by reaction to him.

          But my trainer recently(Monday) changed me over to Winky Wright's Style...
          My defense is alot better punches a lil easy but I feel confined to the 1-2 Combo. (You'll see footage of this style If i get some today when I go to Tampa to spar another gym)

              my thoughts exactly. i dont mind getting pressured, cuz the way i usually fight is jus wit speed, i shoot out fast accurate combos and move. they dont got alot behind em, but they sting, and i make the guy think i cant hit and when he gets in too close or starts pressurin me, i pop him HARD and make him think twice about pressurin me again. the most important weapon in ur arsenal in a fight is ur head, not ur fists. i am constantly thinkin of my next move and his next move. i used to jus go in there and brawl like i'm gatti fightin ward, but with maturin i realized there is no pride in bein "macho", and since that... epiphany i guess u could say, i won 13 straight, well 14 technically, but i DEFINITELY got robbed in my last one, ......****ERS!!!
