A little backyard sparring.

[DELETED ACCOUNT 06]

If your enjoying yourself, no harm in it. (although - some safety issues!!)

i mean, wear a gum sheild. It ain't for looks and your smile. A gum shield will stop you breaking your jaw - and i've seen nasty injuries. Plus..like someone said - being KO'd onto concrete is just asking for a fractured skull.

As for skills. Anyone with an hour or two of tutoring with me in the gym, i reckon, could beat the **** out of either of you.

I reckon, if we sparred - and if i wanted to be a mean bastard, i could beat you both up, really really bad. But..if id have been at that party, i'd have sparred with you, and KO'd you with some body shots to save your looks.

Get to a gym if you want to do it for real.

i couldnt watch more than the first round..

not much to say. AJ should have busted that phaggot's head.

Please don't call this boxing!

It's two guys with boxing gloves, that's all it is!

If they wanna learn to box they should get their asses in a club like the rest of us!

I wouldn't worry about "countering" either of those guys, b/c they don't know how to defend themselves. You just go after someone like that, fire some straight rights and hooks to the rib 'til he's not moving at all. Then you call an ambulance for him and bolt.

I only watched 52 second of this childish backyard boxing match (on concrete! good thing both guys don't know what the **** they are doing) i would point to the guy in the brown shirt and can tell he is a floyd mayweather fan and thats his excuse for his ****** boxing style. I hope he got ko'd.

Alright, who out of these 2 would have a better chance of beating the "brown shirt roy jones guy"?



By the way, looks like poor little guy didn't know how to catch the the other guy?

What would you have done if you were the little guy?

Hello guys/girls,

Just wondering what the pros/amateurs/trainers/boxing-experienced people would say about this ponytail guy named AJ (black shirt) sparring with this guy named Stephen (brown shirt).

I obviously see little to no proper technique with both men.

It looks like the ponytail guy was completely... lost?

How would you guys counter the brown shirt guy?

I see lots of opening for jabs and straights...

They both really really really really need to work on footwork. Stephen needs to get his gloves up, I hope that wasn't an attempt to showboat, because he doesn't have the hand speed to do so.

i thought the tall guy in the brown shirt was a ****in zombie at the start lol what an idiot i bet he thought **** the footwork im **** hot. Im fairly new to the boxing gym but i am 100% sure i would dominate both of these in a very very bad way.

I watched about the first 20 seconds of this. Neither of them threw a punch in all that time. They are terrified of getting hit, which is the LAST thing a boxer needs to be. I'd start with that, were I training them.

Get them some headgear, and mouthpieces. But before that, get them into a gym, all of them, before they hurt themselves. Don't ever let them spar outside a gym.

Boxing is not punching. What makes a boxer dangerous is not his technical ability to throw a good punch. It's his psychological makeup; the ability to stand toe to toe and trade punches without flinching or without excessive fear of physical injury. Why is he not concerned about injury? Because he's learned to slip, block, parry, move, and to attack the whole time he's doing it. And he has also been punched hard in the face a few thousand times, so much so that it doesn't bother him. This is what makes boxers so dangerous in fights: Western boxing as an offensive skill doesn't in and of itself win fights. What makes boxers dangerous is the mindset that comes from years of hard work and immense pain, in and out of the ring: you can take a seasoned boxer -- a guy with, say, 5 years of hard training and a dozen matches under his belt, win or lose -- and even if you knocked his teeth out, his pulse wouldn't even change. You can't get that in a backyard and you can't get it by training yourself. Punching and sparring is only a small slice of the pie.

To spar without any formal training is like an overweight man who has never exercised in his life waking up in the morning and deciding to compete in a triathlon that afternoon.

Fraidy your posts are always so logical and spot on. You NEED your own talk show where we can sit around and talk boxing
