Footwork like rigondeaux vs donaire (3 min drill)

Yeah, the manuals don't teach this because it's a silly technique.

Rigo and a few other high level athletes with amazing speed, reflexes and experience manage to get away with it on occasions. This is a bad idea for most boxers.

Have you ever tried this in sparring?

I can't see any reason for boxers to compromise themselves using the technique shown in the video.

Get the timing of this move wrong and you are in deep trouble - completely out of position, legs crossed and facing away from your opponent, unable to defend or counter and any contact from the opponent will put you completely off balance.

Then this video is not for you.. but for the 3000 people that have watched it so far 57 people was ok with it and 4 not including yourself didn't. different strokes

Here are what others had to say including some athletes

I noticed Rigondeaux doing this in most of his sparring videos. The way he evades the punches when doing this is genius. I used this in the ring a couple of times and it works if done at the right time. Great tutorial, my friend.

Theres nothing new about it! However it could and should be taught to a youngster who could handle it! I would choose which student learns it early in their lessons and understand that it be placed later in a less coordinated students study! The lesser student will benefit from traditional lessons and as he grows can undertake more difficult tasks.
You also run a fine line adding this move if its abused and becomes a "show off" move instead of a "showmanship" technique!!! No need to piss off judges, they have NO sense of humor!!!


BUT young trainer Barry.....................you forgot to add "what to do when its played on YOU"?????

Do you cut the ring, then follow hard with triple jabs to cut down distance, or do you follow the back leg and close distance as he backs into you???

Ray I think the student that wants to offensive offensively this move 1st has to be humble enough to want to learn the art of setting people up. But before they can learn that they have to train their eyes, feet, mind, punching techniques. I say humble because it seems everyone just wants to learn moves as opposed to drilling. If you drill it's easy to be creative with your FUNdamentals. On my channel I have done a lot of beginner boxing videos but nobody watches them....these titles are more eye catching. The internet is tricky that way. Titles are huge when it comes to whether people will actually watch the video so sometimes a lil controversy goes a long way.

I like the backfoot/reverse pivot when it comes to applying "pressure" also why anyone would follow a counter puncher around the ring is beyond me. You make it possible for a guy to style on you. Your better off taking your chances in the middle of the ring.

But that's 1 of my biggest points about the current state of boxing and how it's being taught and presented. Everyone is a killer and pressure fighter meanwhile we see fighter after fighter getting beat by a guy going backwards.

the media, some trainers, and some negligent fans put batteries in guys back and dudes want to entertain by "applying pressure". its really disrespectful towards the arts. Boxing is a wonderful sport with many techniques.

I will make that video on pressure fighting in regards to that fight this past weekend

[Ray Corso]

The pressure fighters today are not highly skilled. They bring determination and are willing (very few) but they have not mastered any techniques either. The old school trainers are almost gone and thats where alot of pressure knowledge lived!!!
This could have been a great fight but it was on Donaire to bring it!!! He would have and most likely will look bad getting to Rigo but once he theres does Rigo pass the test?
Its a beautifull test when master boxer faces pressure king!!!
LaMotta vs Robinson ..........it wasn't an accident that they fought 5 times. Whats amazing beyond Sugarmans skills is that Jake wasn't even a one punch guy who could take you out. He was a wear you down pressure guy!!!


I like to watch a fighter who does it all, the counter move/counter punch guy needs to take center ring and dictaste from there also. After a few rounds the mentality is in order so whom ever is in charge..........is in charge!! HA!

This is not pressure fighting as most people think but here George Benton puts on a clinic of "pressure fighting"

[TheBodySnatcher]

I agree with what you said about drilling, but certain moves like this one are more dependent on live drilling and understanding distance rather then the actual foot work its self. The walk off comes naturally to most people since its a natural motion, however understanding whether someone is at a distance where they will follow your lateral motion versus someone close enough to attack the moment your legs cross takes more practice.
