I’m done now, but when I was competing, defense was a problem for me. I learned to just charge in and throw, cut angles, etc. Because I was behind in my defense. It won me 12+ fights, but lost me around 4 once I started fighting really good fighters. I just couldn’t seem to register in my head what to do at what time. I couldn’t read when a jab was coming, or a hook, or really anything until the punch was already thrown. I was tired of looking stupid trying to block or slip punches that already happened. So I decided to just bull dog them and throw. Make them defend instead of me. Again, I’m done but I still do padwork and sparring drills with my friends. And I think we’ll start working more on our defense. Great video as always.
A lot of people don't get it but when sparring and sometimes during a fight I like to move and get myself to different angles with footwork and head movement and sort of see silhouettes of where my punches can land. I feel that when you're on offense and pushing the guy back all the time these angles aren't as apparent to you. To some extent I feel that exploring possibilities is quite a lot more important than beating the guy up.
The offense one is really important. As a beginner myself, I find that I try to exit the exchange as soon as possible and to think of defense and offense as two separate things, for example by defending in a passive way. I now realize that as you said it's 50/50 and that you can't have one without the other. I'm still a bit scared, but I think the more I train the more i'll develop the skillset and the confidence necessary. Thank you coach!
@@CoachAnthonyBoxing overall for six month, twice a week. I am completely new to combat sports and that's probably why I tend to shell up when defending.
@Dexef_ when I used to shell up and get peppered I started out by working on keeping my eyes open. After that I practiced absorbing one strike and countering with a lead hand hook. Basically what I did was practice moving in the ring and then abruptly putting up a tight high guard while simultaneously sitting my weight down, then launching the hook and pivoting off angle. It really helped me avoid getting stuck in front of someone throwing multiple shots. As you start to land it in sparring try to release the hook as soon as you feel contact on the gloves. Before you know it you can use the high guard to make your opponent's hesitate, giving you an opening to start your offense.
offense/defense are 2 sides of the same coin bro.. they need to be integrated so you can flow back and forth between them...develop ur defense so that you are able to work ur returns off of it so that its not just a passive defense .
how about Parry's & Trapping? I think of defensive as the following: 1. completely evading (no contact whatsoever) 2. Blocking 3. Parry, Trapping, etc 4. Intercepting (think Wing Chun, where your intercepting the incoming shot and at the same time hitting back in one move.
I started by heavy sparring in my friends garage and then went to a boxing gym and forced myself to think more defensively and utilize my jab more but it made me less commital and sometimes a one handed boxer, I basically became the opposite. Now I think I striked a good balance of offense and defense. Sometimes I will chill on the outside and make my opponent think I am all defense until I burst straight into inboxing.
Great video! I love head movement defense, especially with philly shell stance, but it can be very dangerous if the fighter is not experienced. What works for me best - definitely footwork with some had movement defense and constant use of the lead hand - mostly jab and sometimes hook. Measuring distance with the jab while moving (defense or offense) is a great tool and can easily disrupt the opponent`s rhythm. You don`t need strong jab all the time, you just need to place the right amount of power in the right moment, which can give you valuable second or two to counter attack.
@@CoachAnthonyBoxing all of them really the blocking, moving the feet ducking and dodging punches to the fourth line of Defense being offense just to really realize that it’s that many lines of defense was the best tip for me
For beginners, blocking works the best. Your footwork is not developed enough to move and counter. Head movement is very difficult and advanced. Blocking will give you confidence that you can stand in the pocket and not be hurt. Once you can do that, you can build off of it.
@@CoachAnthonyBoxing all of them.. feinting is also defense.. might earn you 10 seconds if fighter runs from you... with good speed, power, gas tank, and the 4 tips you mentioned.. that's solid..
You get a subscribe forsure by saying Diaz vs Masvidal should box in MMA gloves, I've been saying a few things for so long, 1. These MMA vs Boxers that think they'd fight MMA after should do the boxing in 4oz gloves. 2. Dana has said he wants boxing apart of UFC but it'd be cooler to make a stand up only style mixing boxing, muay thai, kickboxing and even judo since there's clinch and trips in muay thai you might as well have judo throws maybe just no grabbing leg takedowns. Alot of styles that are weak against wrestling and jiu-jitsu would put their fighters into it.
Maybe from someone in the know Was it ever true that Willow the Wisp won a round without throwing a punch? Ive heard it was just a rumour but a few people have told me it was true...

Parrying falls into blocking in this video just like feinting would fall into offense. I didn’t get into the specifics of each line.

4th tip is what sensei lawrence from cobra kai said the best defense is offense 😂😂
Is Eddie retired loved watching him fight
Super teqniques. Thanks you

Thanks champ How are you?
great video, but you forgot one tactic, Smothering & Clinching / tying up!?
0:40, just asking, what if he feints the jab then left hooks?
Clinching and shoving also belong somewhere on the list
excellent
Thanks champ which was your favorite tip?

Not legal in boxing though

Yo champ how’s everything?
@@CoachAnthonyBoxing prob about another year away from competing... training is going good
Parry?
究極のディフェンスは、相手の真後ろを取る事だよ。45年くらい前に、阿佐ヶ谷にある石橋ジムの石橋会長に、そう習ったわ。そのポジショニングを取る為にフットワークや、相手の身体を回しながら、サイドを取る等、色んな方法があるってね。確かに自分よりもデカい相手と正面きって殴り合ったって、勝ち目は無いからね。でもロマチェンコみたいに常に相手のサイドに回り込んで攻撃出来れば、勝つチャンスが、膨らむ。合理的だよね。会長は、こうも言っていた。殴る事なんて１年も練習すれば、誰だって打てるようになる。それより大切なのは打つ事じゃなくって、打たれない事だってね。最後に石橋会長は、こうも言っていたなあ。良いかい、ボクシングはね。殴る遊びじゃなくって、避ける遊びだからネ。ってさ。だから真後ろを取る。極めて合理的なボクシング論だって、今だに思うわ。一発も撃たれず、一発で倒す。コレが理想の展開。だって人なんか簡単に倒せるからね、胃袋や、レバーに良いパンチが入ればね。笑
backfist it works on the street right?
Definitely. You just gotta know when to use it

Great tips but they call Shakur a runner because he use his distance control and footwork
You can't win using defense at all because you need to hit in order to score points
