sparring and on ropes / in corner

[StAlbansBoxing]

Generally you dont wanna be on the ropes. Some experienced fighters can box well off them though.

A good trick is the "3 hooks" move where u throw 3 short left hooks and pivot a little with each one in order to get off the ropes. Hard to explain on here tho

In the amateurs he'll be called for holding if he immediately/intentionally tries to clinch/hold once in corner or on the ropes.

I don't think I've ever had that called on me ... Maybe pushing off. But if I got put on the ropes I'd often go for a clinch and wait for the ref to break.

that's because you're fighting locally where they give a bit on the rules to allow you to learn. at the nationals you would certainly get called on it.
