I feel like manny always stay outside of punching range (reset) to avoid that lead hand/long guard control . So when he does blitz the opponent didn’t have that lead hand to manage distance
Yes that is a solution. Based on the skill set of many. The thing is you negate the easy points to your opponents. Find your attck is easier after that. The opposite approach is "give away easy jabs". Get behind on the scoring cards. Rush your work and end up being predictable.
i still believe that Cruz is still a very good pressure fighter and i think people are rude with him. José was simply super sharp and on point during the fight. he took solid punches and kept focused and brave, nothing to be ashamed for Pitbull
That could have done a huge deference. As I mention on the video. Is controlling the exchanges what matters. And the techniques serve this purpose. The lead hand battle would have allowed Pitbull to: 1- negate the jab of valenzuela allowing him to not get behind on points 2- Set up more nuanced, less telegraphed attacks. Any other techniques that accomplish these 2 tasks, would have made a difference. But again, the techniques themselves are like a hammer or screwdriver. Is making sure it is the right tool for the job at hand that makes them effective.
@@delcardo_boxing i think manny does a good job with controlling exchanges . He’s always on the outside only going to drop combos then immediately exiting like you mentioned.
For sure, It depends on the counter you want. Drill visualizing the counter you want to land, off what defence specifically you can to counter from and the specific range. From there just practice first the mechanics of the counter with all this context. Then start shadow boxing working of the chosen range, set up the counter, and practice countering. After that you can do something similar with someone punching at you. But for muscle memory purposeful shadow boxing is best
Thank you, Hahaha in a way, in the previous video "how to defeat a slick boxer" I covered some of the things that Pitbull should have done. Less being first and more going for the counter. A huge handicap is that Pitbull never had a good defence for the jab and a good jab himself. So once he was in a position where rayo could just tap him and get ahead on points, he was forced to rush his work making him more predictable for Rayo.
Hi bro, i was wondering is cutting angles as your opponent comes in or after you’re done throwing a combination could also be a way to end an exchange alongside stepping back out of range, and smothering your opponent?
@@delcardo_boxingthank you for the response. I have one more question. What if you’re trying to be the aggressor in a fight and trying to push your opponent back to the ropes. How do you reset in this scenario? Im a muay thai fighter so smothering in isnt a good option as that’ll mean i will end up in the clinch, and stepping out of range would cause me to give up space. Should i simply enter to start the exchange and not exit? Staying in the exchange until they decide to reset. Or do i step out of range only momentarily, and then enter again. Im trying to add this to my game. I’d appreciate the help.
I would step out of range momentarily. That is why we "cut the ring". When we are doing that we keep the opponent trapped, without forcing an exchange that can allow them to hit us or escape. That being said, I always recommend stepping back anyways even if you want them on the ropes. The problem is mot stepping back to make them miss or control distance. The problem is when people don't step in tight away and try to pose a threat. Hope this makes sense🔥
Plzz can you help me like my defense is good ,so when opponent attack i first defend and then counter.so plzz can you tell me how can i became a offensive fighter to and not only rely on my counters and make my opponent to defend.
That is a good question. Overall is all about feints. Make them hesitate and set up your punches. You can check this concept on my video on Bivol and The one about Canelo vs Munguia. Both talk about throwing combinations. But the principle of landing a single is the same as landing a combo
Plzz can you help me like iam in southpaw and my opponent is in orthodox he is taller then me in height so,like my opponent throw jab at me everytime i close distance and what happened next is when i try to attack he gets out of range .so what can i do now??
Good question. In principle you follow the concepts that I explain on my videos on Inoue. 1st neutralize their lead hand similar to what Valenzuela did. (This method works for short fighters, Tank did it on Ryan and I explain in on my videos covering that fight) 2nd You punch as he opens up. (How to achieve this is covered in those inoue videos) Hope all this helps
Great question. Tracking the hand main problem is that: You can be deceived, and create an opening. Instead think of a race. Instead of me trying to catch up on you. I will just wait for you on the finish line. Less work, and I know you are getting there anyways. Transferred to boxing. No matter what you do, your punch will go to may face. So blocking the path of the punch means you will never be wrong. No matter how Pitbull punches the bath to the face is blocked. Pitbull can only land is he moves to change the path of his punch. But, by that point Rayo can move his feet too. He also can punch around the arm. But having his shoulder as a second line of defense meant that Rayo had too many fail saves. Hope all this makes sense.
Hi coach, do you think a double jab, swivel jab, gazelle hook or skating like Edwin de los santos did with his left straight did would've worked for pitbull in this case
Probably, Cruz uses gazelle hooks and variations of these already. Cruz struggles precisely because he solves his problems with punches. The point of the video is not the techniques, but how the techniques allowed Valenzuela to dictate exchanges. Aka positions on the fight. Therefore the solutions like in every fight are in the big picture. The positioning and control of the exchanges in the fight. To make a real difference, he needed to be able to equal Rayo on the lead hand battle. To negate Rayo's control at the very least. (Like Tank negating Ryan's lead hand. I have a video on that.) taking away Rayos lead takes away Rayo's rangy scoring tools. Forcing him to get closer. Forcing him to be where cruz does better. After this, having a tool that allowed Pibull to punch with cruz instead if catching and shooting would help him cut the gap in speed and punch as rayo stepped in. These skills can be seen on my video on "Defeating slick back-foot boxers" and "how to counter punch"
Plzz can yo tell be what should be and where should be my foot position in southpaw vs southpaw ,so that i can land more and defense easily cuz iam a southpaw.
Short tip is, Just watch a Ortodox vs Ortodox fight. The same way the attack and defend is the same you would do on Southpaw vs Southpaw. Simple as that. If you have issues defending, getting more distance and compacting your base is always helps. These ideas are explained on my video about the high guard. I cover distance and stance on it.
Whenever iam southpaw vs southpaw my opponent is more in bladed stance which makes me difficult to hit him cuz he blocks/shoulder roll whenever I go to attack he counter or blocks the punch so how can i attack him...🤔🤔!@@delcardo_boxing
We solve this problem like any other problem in a fight. Mot worry about landing. First think of getting a distance where you can neutralize their jab. Once you have the space to operate use feints. If he can see your punches, and shoulder roll. No technique will fix that. Issue is positioning. How can I get this person to over react? How can I open them up? How can I create openings? Again answering this is easier if you control the distance and take away the jab. Hope this makes sense. My video on bivol details this methodology on landing shots. But again, angle the problem and find solutions through positioning. If I can't land a punch, I am attacking the in the wrong distance and positioning.
For sure, Controlling range basically gives you both the defence and ability to land your shots. That is, you are too far or too close to get hit. And you are always at range to hit your opponent. You start this by always standing outside of your opponent's punching range. This way you will see them coming in to attack. And you should use set ups to cut the distance and land your shots. Hope all this makes sense. This ideas are explained on the video when I talk about controlling exchanges
it's not a good deal for pitbull to jab when you have such a limited range , because he will always loose the jab war , i think people underestimate too much the size disadvantage he has
That is true. His main problem is the jab defence. Also looping his punches does cut his range even further. So having better straights on both hands would have definitively helped him. The jab battle of a short fighter is nuanced and slower. But they still need to be able to handle that fight. If pitbull had taken away Rayos jab, the fight could have been different.
@@ThoroughbredThab yes, but it is predictable to use a jab to hit more right after, leaving you opened, espacelly if you are small like him, it seems like everyone talks but never fought a much taller opponents who is slick and prepared
@@TheChattounet I agree with you but Cruz isn’t crafty enough in my opinion. He can still use his lead hand to measure distance by flicking it out, he could feint or frame with it to create false pressure for his devastating follow up shots but he just chooses not to for some reason.
My favourite channel on RUclips right now.
Thanks 🔥

Great videos brotha. Definitely one of the best boxing channels atm
Thanks man, really appreciate the comment 🔥
Great video 🔥🔥
Thank you
Please make more amateur boxing tip/technique videos. 🔥
Thanks for the suggestion. I will do it . I am working on a solid ratio between amateur and pro.
Like 2 pro 1 amateur or so
This fight and Liam paro vs matias is a must watch for southpaw fighters against pressure fighters.
Yes, those 2 fights are good lessons.
looking forward to seeing your Bivol-Bet analysis
Thanks, I am actually working on it
Great breakdown brother
@@ryuhabdle9 thank you🙏
I wish there are more long videos so I can download it😅
Definitively more videos are coming soon enough 💥🥊
Nice 👍
Great performance from Rayo
good video nonetheless, very clean and precise
Glad you liked it!
Thank you. I will be practicing. Boxing looks easy but takes alot of training and strategy.
It does. Mental and physical work together
I wish Cruz would jab more, especially to the body. It would make it easier for him to set up his hooks instead of just leaping in wildly.
Me too,
Came down to that. He always struggled to stables and negate points on the long range
@@delcardo_boxing another great video, Brother 👊🏾
@ thank you 🔥
What should’ve pitbull done to win ? I know he should’ve controlled the lead hand battle but what else?
Be tall lol
That could have done a huge deference.

1- negate the jab of valenzuela allowing him to not get behind on points

Yes and no.
Usyk, Canelo and lately Inoue are shorter than their opponents.
@@delcardo_boxing i think manny does a good job with controlling exchanges . He’s always on the outside only going to drop combos then immediately exiting like you mentioned.
Plzz can you tell me how to perfectly drill counter so that it can become by muscle memory.
For sure,

From there just practice first the mechanics of the counter with all this context.

awesome bro, now tell how us how can we beat someone like rayo? 😂😂 Thank you much love for this great video to study

Definitively, this is where the check hook came in. Helped to accomplish this.
Rayo also dipped and took angles after rolling Pitbull’s punches.

6:17 why is he not tracking the hand? What he does makes sence but why is it better than tracking the hand? What is the weakness of tracking the hand?

You’re right but he could use it as decoy to set up the shots he wants to land. He lost to Tank and Rayo because he made his intentions too obvious.

Rayo schooled him because Pitbull is a limited pressure fighter
Poor footwork, no jab and way too predictable
Completely true.
