Me Skipping ,

train with bigger gloves!! I hate seeing people train with small as$ gloves that are even smaller than the gloves you fight in. Why? So you can look better while trainin? Id rather look better in the ring.

I train with 20oz gloves a lot. Its better to train in big gloves. I see videos all the time of people training with little gloves, bad idea.

yea its useful to train in bigger gloves.
also you still turn your hooks palm down, really try and keep em palm in, its a more natural angle. speed looks good, as for the skipping ..... keep on that hard, its such a necessary skill for anyone who wants to box, helps footspeed and movement and cardio.

I havent been able to watch any of your vids. I get 1 frame. You should use youtube.

That dog video is hilarious. I want a bulldog so bad, but they're a little out of my price range.

From what I can see it would appear that you aren't concentrating on what you are doing. This is very apparent in the skipping video. You are making so many mistakes that it is hardly worth mentioning them and it is obvious that you will perform better in a different set of circumstances. To go anywhere in boxing you have to eliminate the distractions and stay focused on the task at hand.

It depends which way you have been taught i started off throwing hooks with my palm in, but then we got a new trainer who would only let you throw them palm down, there is no wrong way.

"...there is no wrong way." This is an expression I have heard from young boxers many times. Most often it is used to justify and rationalize the technical flaws in their style. Boxing is a very style oriented sport, but there is no reason other than belligerence to do anything in an improper fashion.

Throwing the lefthook (or righthook) is no different than throwing any other punch, there is a natural rotation of the wrist as the hand moves forward. Forcing the punch into a particular attitude or movement pattern is inefficient and incorrect. It will have a natural trajectory depending on where it started from and where the target resides. A hook aimed at Nickolai Valuev's chin will have a different trajectory and therefore a different movement pattern than a short hook aimed at Manny Pacquiao's liver. How the punch evolves depends on the situation, but within that situation there is a right way and wrong way of doing it.
