It also helps to slug his ribs. Once you put the pressure on the ribs, he'll have a hard time getting in the deep breaths needed to pressure you. Generally, it slows them down pretty quickly.
Unless he's use to taking power hits to his gut. My coach (Coach Portland Pringle) a professional MMA fighter/ Boxer always hits the people he trains 100 times in the gut so they get use to that pain. So if his coach does that then if someone hits him there thats not as powerful as his coach it prob wont faze him. So best thing to do is slip/ roll under and counter with a hit to his chin
Wish I'd known this counter-aggressor technique when I was small. My cousin was so aggressive and always beat me up. My cousin grew up to be a fine Lady tho...
Exactly! If you're a trained fighter and you know what you're doing, the jab will work. But if you're a beginner and panicking under pressure, you might as well just throw your hard shots. Brawlers are looking to trade and you're going to lose the exchange if all you have to offer is the jab. The bottom line: you need to have more skill if you want to beat a harder punch with a lighter punch. (ie. using the jab to beat a cross/hook)
Hey Johnny, huge respect. Einstein said: "If you can't explain something in a simple way, then you just don't understand it" (Im paraphrasing a bit). Anywho, what I mean to say is - there are questions that my subconsciousness have posed me over the course of my boxing training, but my consciousness haven't formulated yet. You manage to define these questions in a simple manner and give a proper answer. You are a great teacher, a savvy boxer and a good person. Respect! Konstantin from Bulgaria.
that's probably one of the better instructions I've seen on this subject. aggressive fighters aren't easy to defend against even though they all do the same thing. When you head is at risk or your ribs, they can really throw you off your game.
Either you're looking between your gloves/wrists or over the top of your gloves. Or you can also slip to the side slightly and that'll give you a viewing angle around your gloves.
I put it up just now. This is actually a duplicate video Jason loaded on his channel earlier and I'm now putting it on my channel so my viewers can see it, too.
Sometimes, it's just a nose sensitivity. You get hit in the nose the right way and your eyes naturally tear up. You can try warming up your nose by wiggling it around and pushing into it with the heel of your hand before a fight.
These are very good tips and something I plan to teach later. The philly shell, I really don't recommend for beginners because they screw that up and end up turning away from the opponent which doesn't help them.
Defense is an awareness to me, I'm always ready to act whether or not my head is showing. Now on the other hand, if you're a beginner, then "defense" probably means keeping your face covered all the time.
I use several different bags, anywhere from 70 to 150lbs. I do several different kinds of drills and different weights are better for different drills.
Brilliant exactly what i learnt used to be scared of the aggressive fighters im tall and more of the nerd boxer....learnt how to beat brawlers from buster douglas when he destroyed Tyson he did everything you just said exactly.
Someone is bored, anyway never underestimate anyone. When you do learn that you will acknowledge....... Strength defeats strength, determination defeats strength, determination defeats determination.
To beat a agressive fighter i believe is 30 percent power for respect and ko,30 percent speed for counter punching,40 percent headmovement for countering
this would be great! I love all your articles and videos, and I haven't been able to find one on fighting on the inside/in the pocket. I haven't been able to find much online on this topic.
about dumbells- how much weight? and what kind of exercises to do? It is difference beetwen static strenght and dynamic strenght but do i need them both? Could You tell me the important exercises with dumbells? rows? curls
I've been boxing for about a year now and I've been hit before but for some reason when I spar or get hit in the face pretty hard my freaking eyes get teary the punch itself doesn't hurt me but I don't wont the other boxers to think I'm crying when I'm not, could it be a matter of just not fully used to punches yet it's pretty embarrassing
How heavy is your bag? Im planing on buying a punching bag to get more fit. My current weight is 57 kg im 170cm tall. My friend has a 35kg bag that I have tried, also tried a 15kg bag but that one was to light for me. Any suggestions? :)
Johnny!!!! I have watched a few fights and have noticed a recurring pattern. Fighters seem to lean back, breaking one of the unwritten rules in boxing when faced against pressure fighters. My question for you is.... Do you advise against it or is there anytime when it could in fact be useful?
Good lookin Johnny, although I thought you were going to touch on using angles and lateral movement and turning the aggressive guy around. How would you suggest fight an aggressive, cast-iron chin, tough body puncher say like a Julio Cesar Chavez Sr? May be with slick movement and counters (Sweet Pete) or overwhelming him with flurries and standing his ground (Meldrick Taylor), or perhaps another idea?
thanks again Johnny,im gonna try that show the head,show the punch strategy haha. and also, like bigsbymusic said a video on infighting would be great sometime!
hey man I like you vids a lot, but I am surprised you didnt put in here head control and measuring with ur jab hand... guys like Mayweather and other cute philly shell/shoulder roll style guys do that all the time and it works for me when I run in to a pressure fighter, esp a guy with a high guard.. what are your personal thoughts on that?
I was once in a sparring and my opponent wasn't just aggressive but was fucking unbelievable at countering. He was an aggressive countering type. Can you make a video on how to stop those guys?
Counter punchers you want to be feinting and setting up traps against his traps. Watch where he moves and what he throws against you and anticipate before he throws.
Great talk/stuff mane I really needed to know this info on how to take on dudes like that there be a few ppl that are like that at my Gym. That I go to and train, and I slick be having difficult time getting in between them and hitting them, but with what you said & showed on this video I got a more understanding on how to do thing's better now preciates it bro [:
Awesome vid - I have a question though. As a counter puncher, it's convenient when I'm up against an agressive fighter who's constantly moving in on my punches as I stay on his outside. But what strategy would you recommend if I'm up against another counterpunching, out-fighter who only moves when I do/stays out of my range?
All of those are good tips, but just not realistic for beginners. If you've got angles and lateral movement, you can pretty much fight anybody. Julio Cesar Chavez Sr was a great boxer himself. I'd say he was pretty much unbeatable in his prime. Fast flurries is never a bad idea, though.
Many of the people asking me for tips against an aggressive opponents are noobs. And the techniques you mentioned are way too advanced for beginners. Telling them to stick their hand out leaves them terribly exposed. The shoulder roll works if you're really comfortable with fighting and don't break under pressure. If you're comfortable, all those things come natural.
oh but the most important, maybe u already know, is there is no set routine. u practice ur moves then adapt to the situation. where ever ur opponents body goes, where ur body is, what ever. no set routine. thats what the boss means when he said 'be water my friend.'
aggressive boxer usually run! into you.. so if they throw 3 straight shots they kinda run with the shots.. so the most effectiv weapon is the uppercut.. the best way to do so is throw a jab if he walks into the jab... amen.. if he slips to the side go with the uppercut.. he's gonna feel it.. most important thing is moving.. don't run.. throw u'r punches and move to the side.. the time he needs to look for u...u can reset and throw another combo..
What is a fancy combination? Combinations are just what they are. Nothing fancy about them. There are ways of breaking a bully down. You have to use alot of movement's and angles, pop shots and etc. Yes some of them are in great shape but what fighter isn't. When you break them down, he'll be ready to go in 7 to 8 rounds.
well man, from what i no, if u hit em under the jaw (uppercut) hard it'll till their head back n put em off balance, n having ur oppoent off balance is very good, then u can hit him in the jaw hard, try to make a 45 degree angle on the straight hits. theres so many good things to do, like if he turn side on for what ever reason, kick him full power through the back of the knees (u want his knees to be straight 4 max effect) then hook him full power with the opposite hand in the jaw. SoManyThing.
Hey man, I'm a fighter of about 2 years in muay thai and some kid around 40 lbs heavier then me told me that I need to fight him. He has been doing this for multiple months and I finally agreed and have seen some videos of him "fighting". All this kid does is throw his left hook and nonstop charges into you. Normally I would clinch up but he said only punching making this fight rely on my boxing. I am confident in my skill but am worried that he may catch me with a wild hook. Any help on defence and if i should just rely on straight punches would be great.*btw im southpaw*
Southpaws have a natural stance advantage against orthodox left hooks. If you stand your ground and yes a slightly wider stance, you'll see he has no place to put his feet to be able to get you with a left hook. It helps to lean back every now and then.
I'm not really first class at English, so I dont have the exactly Word for what I mean, but I can try to explain it. When you're going to show your bicep to some girls, you're like pressing with your arm, so get the muscles clearly.. if u understand. Are you doing that, when you're boxing?
On the topic of aggressive fighters: is it legal in boxing to keep the arm out and hold/press it against one's opponent, usually when the opponent is hurt on the ropes? It is used to guide in a power shot. youtubedotcom/watch?v=DxSEdlSmdvU&list=ELmdtKlNhVjBU at 18:15 (He does it at least in one other instance resulting in knock down.)
Quick Jack yes as long as you don't kick which is highly unlikely you will. If you make him lose balance which is aloud you have a very good chance to knock him down.
It also helps to slug his ribs. Once you put the pressure on the ribs, he'll have a hard time getting in the deep breaths needed to pressure you. Generally, it slows them down pretty quickly.

@@maliceofficialmmaandboxing658 In a row? That's complete bullshit
Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire. But if you have the skills, you can avoid his aggression easily. Fire back and move.

Fantastic tips. Exactly the sub I was looking for, keep up the good work!
Fighting gloves. You can get them from TitleBoxing website.

thank you very much for all the videos, . greetings from argentina
You'll probably have to avoid his long arms. Either block or parry or slip or roll or move a lot.
thanks johnny for the advice.
Thats dope i was jason as well. I think u two are well trained and i appreciate u guys sharing your knowledge

Hit and don't get hit. Use head movement. Get lots of punches in.

This is aloud in boxing? To lift your opponent off balance?
Quick Jack yes as long as you don't kick which is highly unlikely you will. If you make him lose balance which is aloud you have a very good chance to knock him down.
How would you fight Joe Frazier?
Hmmm... probably by running and potshotting with hard shots. Dig to the body, too.
What if the opponent counters back while we are lifting him up by his armpit.
There's no way his counter will have any power if his axis is lifted.
Hows it going Shane?
