@@PalacBoxing I've sparred an Othordox boxer with great shoulder roll defence. I eventually broke through at the fourth round with footwork to the outside, jab and right hook combo. I occasionally switched stance to land a left hook to the sternum (I'm right handed but more comfortable fighting as a Southpaw). This put me within the reach of his straight right. Is there a more efficient and versatile way for a Southpaw to launch offense against a Philly Shell master (Pac v Mayweather 😁)? I'd really appreciate a video on the same.

Haven't been to your channel in some time, but you always produce high quality content. I'd like to see your thoughts on strength training for Boxing, and shadowboxing with resistance bands both the pulley type and mobility bands on knees.

@PalacBoxing 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for stopping by and dropping your thoughts. In response to strength training, I'm a fan of it, so long as it doesn't take away from the time you spend in the gym working on actual boxing skills. For strength training its best to focus on compound lifts and explosive movements, think squat, deadlift, rows, cleans, high pulls, unilateral leg movements. Shadowboxing with bands, I haven't tried it personally, I know Holyfield was one of the first boxers to use it in the 1990's. Now everyone is jumping on that bandwagon, but without proper technique and skills you'll be wasting your time. As far as putting the bands around your knees, I don't see the benefit of it in the boxing ring when shadow boxing, because you can obviously use the bands during your strength and conditioning/plyometric sessions to work on your lateral movement. I'm a firm believer in spending more time working on your boxing skills and craft than spending time in the weight room or with a strength and conditioning coach. Learn how to perform the compound lifts I mentioned above, along with unilateral leg movements and cleans and you should be good. However, never forget about the importance of rotational strength.

@sepandbb3230 3 жыл бұрын

Would I be correct in saying that the turn to the inside with the subsequent left hand would be more likely given the defensive nature of the technique? I mean, I guess these turns are responses to the orthodox fighter coming forward, and in these scenarios I guess they would be more likely than not to step forrward trying to put their lead foot behind yours

@rikudosennin1737 2 жыл бұрын

I have a question, during the first drill where you’re moving out of the way and then throwing a jab, how are you going to throw the jab if you are now facing away from the fighter since you changed the way you were looking instead of just slipping the punch (p.s. i’m new to boxing, so i don’t know much)

@PalacBoxing 2 жыл бұрын

You throw the jab as more a defensive tactic to keep your opponent off of you or to setup another punch.
