Video: Padwork & Defense

[!! Shawn]

Cut the guy some slack, as the title says it's pad work in a defensive context, and from what I saw his defense is pretty good.

Your footwork and punching form is good. You seem to be purposefully holding back a bit as regards power.

Only slight bit of critique I would offer is your left hand seems to return to a low position after a jab.

Yeah, I need to work on that when I am fighting out of a hands low position, I still need to bring the jab back strait before tucking the shoulder and dropping the hand.

[!! Shawn]

How can you jab at the same time as a straight? they have the exact same line from chine to chin pretty much, there will be some deflection there and in most cases the right will win simply because the have more mass behind the punch.

The reason why you are getting so many negative comments is because your coming off as extremely arrogant, you post video's then completely disagree with what anyone says.

Your trainer is slapping your gloves that much it's not funny, tell your trainer to get the freddie roach dvd from title because opposition wont be headbutting your punches like your trainer was.

It works because even though it is called a strait right, in reality no right hand is as strait as a jab.

The hook comes after the jab. If they are winding up with a huge hay maker, I will throw a lead hook, or even better, I will sneak in an uppercut, but at the level that I fight and spar, people are rarely sloppy enough to throw those kinds of looping shots.

Honestly though, I don't care how good your chin is, or if you keep throwing no matter what. My jab is stiff enough to knock you off balance and prevent you from throwing any follow up shots. I have also never had a right hand land when I threw my counter jab.

I have dropped more than 1 person with the counter jab when they load up on a right hand and really come forward on it. Walking yourself into one of my power jabs is not a very good idea.

When my knuckle heals I will make a video showing my power jab.

As for people wanting to see my sparring. That is not going to happen. As an active amateur, the last thing I want is to give people a way to prepare to fight me.

My sparring is not very exciting. I am very methodical. I take my time and take away all your tools until you basically stand in front of me trying to think of a way to get past my defense and counter punching.

That is when I crank up the offense.

oh yeah i forgot about this thread... but yeah man the way you describe how you fight here is pretty much exacly the way i fight as well. I had a pro sparring partner for a while so i got very good at jabbing and timing people's jab

Its funny how many of the people that were praising me have jumped on the hater band wagon.

Indeed it is.

[hello2007]

you should sparr on the mat sometimes just for more space. I don't think I would be able to sparr in a ring that looks 8 by 8 feet square

Ummm... I'll pass on that one.

i feel for you on the small ring topic. I love to move, change directions, etc. and being confined to a tiny ring makes life hard. by the way, how big is that ring?

Never asked and never measured. Suffice to say its small.
