When the bell rings don’t think your opponent will show sportsmanship and touch gloves, I learned a hard lesson.

My first fight was last week. Wish could have seen this earlier haha. My opponent was 115kg and more than 1 year of experience while I'm 94kg with only 7 months experience. He has longer reach and he's taller than me by quite a bit. I only got to know who my opponent is 3 days before the fight. It was a last minute change of opponent. I've been practicing against someone my own height until the change of opponent so I panicked a bit. But during the fight I calmed my nerves. I've been watching your videos on techniques and applied everything that you taught. Although my opponent had brute power and some techniques, I did the slips and weaves and countered nicely. On the 2nd round, I downed him twice for the count and went all out but failed to TKO. By the 3rd round I was gassed out and played fully defensive. Thankful that I won by majority decision. I couldn't have won this without your coaching also so I have to give gratitude to where its due. Thanks coach!

One word of advice from a coach that has been coaching 30 years. Cardio and ones and twos. No need for hooks or other combination. Just pressure and one two.

I swear best topics and best content on KZfaq when it comes to boxing

First fight. Training went well, plenty of cardio and good sparring. I knew my opponent's style, he fought with a very high guard, so I'd worked on alternating between head and body shots, movement and setting up the uppercut to split the guard. The week of the fight and I went down with a virus and spent a couple of days in bed. The fight was on a Friday evening and until midday I was pulling out. Decided to go ahead regardless but had to change my game plan completely as I had no energy to throw anything but simple jabs/crosses. I managed to sneak the first couple of rounds just by fighting on the back foot and counter punching. My coach told me just to go out and not be hit in the third, which was fine for about 30 seconds but then the energy went completely. I remember getting backed up onto the ropes and then having to fight my way out of the corner. Scraped through without taking much punishment and got the win. Despite everything and the complete and utter exhaustion afterwards it was one of the best things that I've ever done.

I hope my opponent isn't watching this 😅 Thanks coach! I will take my first amateur fight in july 1st and this is just what i needed...

I think these are generally good tips. I would add a couple of comments. I agree in most fights between beginners there is a tendency for at least one participant to try to bum-rush his/her opponent. Everyone needs to know how to overcome this tactic. I think the advice given to keep moving laterally is sound. I would add it is never wrong to use your jab. it doesn't really expose you too much and it serves to disrupt your opponent's rhythm and attack. Another good tactic is to tie them up. Again it disrupts their attack and buys you time to regroup. The good news is that an opponent who comes out guns blazing in the first minute of the fight, usually runs out of gas quickly...particularly if he/she is inexperienced. If you can manage that first onslaught, you'll probably have your way with them later in the round/fight. They are basically going all-in for a quick victory. More experienced fighters usually don't employ that tactic and use the initial round or two as a means of testing their opponent to see what their tendencies are and to discover their strengths and weaknesses.

Always coming out with great teaching

This is a great video! All important advices! Thank you.

This video has a lot of great tips that I see people need in the local mma scene for their first fights. Angling off when people pressure forward, and having that mindset when people come out blazing for the first minute.

Great footwork and movement in your video demonstration.

Was waiting for a long time for this kind of video, thx coach!!!

Thank you so much brother! 👊

dude you’re the best

Great tips coach!

I remember my first time sparring with a guy who had way more experience than me. He was a 2 time world champion, and he probably would have had an even better career if he was more disciplined. Before sparring I thought to myself, "if I throw one punch at a time he'll just counter me every time, but if I throw too many for him to counter then I can outwork him." It was obviously easier said than done, but I managed to be competitive with him, even though I definitely felt some buzz from his counters. But that strategy became a better, more developed strategy. "When you get hit, hit back. When you land a punch, throw another punch." I kept that strategy for all of my fights in the amateurs and I never lost. It helped that I was sparring guys with a lot more experience too, but if you can fight at a higher pace, then you can score more points. Just get your technique straight, use feints, and keep defensive responsibility.

Brilliant video

i love you man you teach me a lot , 8 week left to going to county heavyweghit championship wish me luck thank you

Thanks Coach Jay Van. This is an excellent video. I’ve had 18 bouts as of now. This is a great video in regards to whether you are an open (experienced) or novice boxer. God bless you and thank you, champ. “BLESSED be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle-“ Psalm 144:1

Came across your channel very good tips and training I am going to give boxing a go 👍

Getting into exchanges are the first thing almost everyone does, even in sparring. great tips btw.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻and most people won't be prepared for a lateral motion and attack..from my experience 😀

Three days from now.... it's going to be a great fight I had a practice fight yesterday got so many lessons will never go for defense only. You gotta learn to pay back what you have received ❤️ Go go go...

Thank you

Great advice for my upcoming first fight! I've been training in 14oz gloves and the big day is using 16oz gloves. You reckon I'll find them much different on the night?

1st fight june 6, gonna watch a lot more of your channel from now that ive met you. will come back to say how it went down also after the fight

Please video on canelo's hand power and speed workout 🙏

can you do a part 2?🌷

Great stuff :)! By the way i found stationary punching ball (punching ball with a stand that u can fill up with a water/dirt) super useful for my movement!!! because in front of you, you have a round object with about 1.3 meter radious and also the ball moves itself too so u can work on your step in/out/around while also counter-punching, protecting yourself, finding different timings for different combos also once you start involving more thought process into it and start getting better you can also start thinking and working on more advanced stuff too, it will come naturally trought the correct work and patience. 1-2 hours a day for a month and you will be impressed how much more smoother you are going to feel. Also one of the most important tips from me as not a professional, the biggest boost for my movement was adding a 6km run everyday in the morning and an hour of jumping rope (some days when i would feel tired at first only jump rope or only a run). this made me feel at least 3 times faster in like 2-3 months of time. At first i even thought my legs were just perfect ( i used to play rugby for a long time this was the reason), but after actually putting in hard work you will start to notice that you are not even at your 10% of potential. :D! WORK HARDER EVERYONE!!!!

nice

My first boxing match is tomorrow and I have weigh ins tonight. I’m nervous as hell but I’m ready! I’m taking everything you said into consideration

great

with many mre tectically exceptanation knock out combos very Easiest way to BOX up get together knock out combos BOX

Regarding the exchanges, it reminds me of that Bruce Lee quote, “When your opponent contracts, you expand and vice versa.”

Cool! My uncle Donnie "The Shark" Baloney showed me how to fight. I won all my fights, thanks to my jab, right cross and a lead pipe.

My sons is Thursday and we are both nervous lol .. been putting in a lot of work though

Sir, i was meaning to ask you about how i take a push step from my backfoot to land punches from a long range ? Is it the only way to throw punches from a kong range?

What double end bag is that? I got the ringside one off of amazon but I feel like it could be better .. I’ve seen this one in a few boxers videos

My first masters fight is this Saturday. Been training for a year hopefully I don’t forget everything once I step in the ring.

I have a match with my friend soon

Great video. What did you think of the fight last night

i dont have a fight im so excited to have a fight. but i feel fear because my enemy wants me tonfight without gloves any tips for without gloves

My first fight is in a week, how did you know I needed this?

I’m gonna try these in sparring. Why not get into exchanges though? No countering?

Got my first amateur/unofficial match I’m taking seriously this Sunday. I’ve been doing a mix of resistance training and cardio as well as learning as much of the fundamentals as I can. I don’t know anything about my opponent or how/if he fights but I ain’t underestimating anyone. Hoping I get that W

I have only 1 month of training even tho i have watched a lot of it, signed in a "sparing" now i found out its an actual match now watching this to help lmao

I'm just an armature , 6'1 with 77kg , I don't know which style should I go with or what is the best path for my body
