@@foochshow did it go? What tactics/style did you use to counter him? I’m a small guy so getting around this style is difficult for me when I spar bigger guys
@@notever8401 He is much smaller than me, and more Dagestani than "Russian" per se so he was more versed in grappling. He managed to smother me in the clinch and made me wheeze by wrapping around my lower back. Otherwise I dominated with jabs using pendulum and "answering the phone" with right hand at ear and shifting to the back and right to avoid his orthodox rights while also parrying jabs with the active left and the static right. Used classic Bivol combos like 1, right straight body, forward or backward shifting left hook. He did pretty well on the inside, since being smaller, and lower to the ground, he can deliver faster and more accurate punches at close range while also being more agile. So, If I were you. I would try getting lucky and getting inside with the jab, then overwhelming them at close range using head movement and well placed strikes. Tall guys typically have to use fancy footwork in order to deliver power at close range, so their punches should be easier to avoid if you can get them backed up.
@@notever8401 Also, the only reason we were fighting on the inside, was because I wanted to see if he had the background that his thick accent alluded to. And sure enough, he managed to outclass me with flurries of old school shovel hooks that I had seen used in Soviet style boxing. Otherwise, it was pretty easy keeping him out of range with jabs simply because of the reach discrepancy.
@@notever8401 Otherwise against most opponents I typically rely on exchanging jabs while parrying with the opposite hand, upward jabs, jabs from underneath while slipping. Recently studied Naoto Takahashi (Prince of Reversal) excellent counter straights after evasive head movement, and Shinsuke Yamanaka who was great at entering with 1 2, then shifting forward and sending straight and upper combinations while the opponent is on their backfoot. Kenshiro Teraji. Also obvious ones like Bivol, Beterbiev, Inoue, who all rely on pendulum to a good extent.
few people who really understands biomechanics will know, that actually when you bounce like that, your hips flex a litte, which means that after every jump finishes, the opponnent is closer, and that the moment that experienced boxers expect, because that really is the moment where you strike or you def. After your hips get back into their normal position, you close that apperture, literally your body pulls you out of the opponnent range. It might sound stupid to just get closer to somebody by a pair of cm but as i said, believe me when i tell you that experienced boxers do know this perfectly, and that little distance is the difference between a superficial hit and a fatal blow
You know why that school is so effective? It was designed as a universal way for everyone to box. In soviet times you either boxed like this or you didn't box at all, your coach wouldn't even let you do anything else . Which kinda limits once in a lifetime talent but also gives everyone an equally good base.
Yea good for beginners for a reason because it’s for clunky guys with no finesse or slickness who couldn’t slip a punch to save their life. A slick black fighter style shits on this if someone tried to fight or spar Floyd like this Floyd would absolutely embarrass them. Or any elite slick black fighter for that matter.
Yeah i have a coach who was born in the soviet union, that is exactly the type of boxing he wants us to do, but another big aspect is that this style is rather simple but very very effective especially when it comes to defense
@@bastaitWell, unless they really outclass you in boxing that won't happen. Everything we need to know Klitschko holds records for the longest cumulative heavyweight title reign of all time, with 4,382 days as world heavyweight champion, and most fighters beaten for the world heavyweight championship, at 23. He also holds records for the most wins and title defences of the unified championship in professional boxing history. Thanks wiki. Tbf this is rather boring to see fight style but effectiveness is proven. Also it really works for very tall guys. If you are short you should look for something else. This style won't get you anywhere. Still good to learn spacing and basics. After that if you are shortie, you should learn how to dodge and step in.
@@bastait Iirc. They had return match and Tyson Furry was obliterated. Chill a lil, dude. I do boxing for fun sometimes with my pal tho I have rather karate background. Did it in school with mobsters where people are rather tough up by martial arts, not modern aesthetic bs. Boxing is kinda too restraining for me, but still interesting. Still as I simply entertain my friend who does it way more seriously than me, I'm not really good sport for him and end being roughed up. Still can deliver few good punches, but honestly, he is way better in boxing than me. Also doing boxing I prefer right hand blocking my face and left straight up for poke jabs over any karate stance bcs karate meant to have chain moves of block-grab-pull-punch and it's not consistent with boxing rules whatsoever so it doesn't work at all. It keeps my corps open but here I have nothing to do with myself as I do downward movement with left hand to block it purely reflexively or fast enough to disengage from punch to my liver. Don't be freaking angry internet kid bcs it's awful.
Dodge with head movements side to side while advancing to give them no breathing space. Boxing is all about being aggressive while also being defensively responsible.
This style of boxing is also VERY effective, as can be seen from Soviet dominance of Olympic boxing for decades. It has translated into the modern era too, lest we forget the famous Klitschko Brothers were both trained under this system.
It’s not about that necessarily, it’s because at the time Russia was pumping a shit ton of money into their athletes whereas America was not, so there weren’t really any other countries that could produce that level of athlete because the governments weren’t paying for accommodation, food, facilities and world level coaching. There wasn’t just the arms race and space race, everything was a race including Olympic sports. It was the same with wrestling, Russian wrestlers were dominating, there wasn’t anything “Soviet” about their wrestling, Russian wrestling or Soviet wrestling doesn’t exist or any other race of wrestling, just the level of competitor was different, I don’t know as much about boxing as I do wrestling but I’m willing to bet it was the same with boxing. That’s why at the time you saw soviets dominate but now you have Americans Cubans Mexicans etc. it’s not the style but the level of competitor and their ability to find training
The difference was that if you showed promise as an athlete or any other sort of talent, the Russian government would take you away from working the fields and put you through strenuous training to represent the country at the world level. Everything about it was funded by the government and no other country did this and certainly not to that level. This is why I’m arguing that the reason soviets dominated not because of their style but because they had money and resources and drugs pumped into them by the government like no other nationality at the time. What do you think?
Olympic boxing is amateur boxing. In Western countries good amateur boxers went pro instead of staying amateur, while communist countries didn't have pro boxers, and as such, great performance in the Olympics. Like Cuba too, great boxer culture and lots of medals, but absent professional boxing scene.
I trained with Russians a few years ago for a couple weeks. Thier coach was this 100 percent. I dont think he knew how to throw anything but a one two, but it was nasty.
as a newbie boxer i actually learnt a lot from this video, the movements are simple, effective but also slow enough i can watch the foot and body movements
Bro, you literally descrived my boxing style, that me neither know I use very much jabs and cross, because i'm tall, and the fact that i a heavyweight, makes thats punches fells like a hell, i vary betwen weak and strong jabs, and use my cross more like a counter or for complete the jab sequence, and i use a lot of side punchs, in specific, the liver blow Thank you so much for show me my style and how it works
@@MrTomafalcon because it's a huge advantage. Most guys my size are 240lbs+ I fight guys who are 5'6-5'10 I've beaten them all, all be it in the amateurs
@@MrTomafalconHigher weightclass doesn’t automatically mean more power or speed. Most boxers stay light because they maximize their strength with muscle endurance exercises instead of hypertrophy (how bodybuilders do). Basically the aim is to pack as much power as densely as possible and turn yourself into a deadly weapon with technique.
Getting close . Russians like that range. Hence why they fight on the backfoot. Having a "procedure" for both offence and defence is good but it shows a glaring shadow.
Control their footwork, apply pressure when they're on their front foot, high guard on their back foot, work their back to a rope or corner with lateral steps and close in to work the body. Hard to keep jumping back and forth when you're struggling to breathe.
Thank you finally someone who isn’t sucking this style off and knows boxing. If anyone tried to fight or spar Floyd like this they would get absolutely embarrassed. Or any elite slick defensive fighter period.
@@getpape4126 Floyd is 1/1. But to box like this against another gym, or even amongst the lot of pros, is a hard adjustment. Using one of the greatest boxers ever as a metric of how ineffective the style is could be argued as disingenuous.
Im 5’7 and I use this style . I combine a lot of techniques that I’ve seen from greats and implement them. I use the mayweather shoulder roll , I use this style and if it’s really a close fight I try to stay in , you have to really adapt to the other person but always try different styles and see what fits you
Yeah. We had Klytchko who were still out of soviet boxing school before whole post-Soviet sports support disintegrated and well, they still hold world records.
@@antonzhdanov9653 yeh like GGG Gennady Golovkin or Dmitry Pirog but still it is not the same and all of them had some influence from different boxing schools same as american or UK boxers.

just got into boxing with actual technique/training this has always been my style of fighting nice to see what type of style it is need to learn more now
I noticed that some of these tall soviet boxers do have a training like spatial awarness of the ring. Making them rarely touch the corner and send those flurry of jabs every effing time
I call it "Gnat With a Sledgehammer" boxing. When you advance, they retreat slightly out of range, but the instance when you relax, they immediately apply pressure. Pendulum boxers are defensive but relentless. Mentally exhausting.
Despite being tall I don't like jabs. I don't get near the power. However, most trained boxers always expect me to jab. They are completely off gaurd when I get in close and usually I can get a few hits off. Once they get wise I go southpaw and throw jabs with my dominant arms. Which helps the stamina in the later rounds
Amazing movements! I heard this style requires tons of stamina compared to other styles, is it worth it for someone not that tall? Just started boxing using the traditional American style, literally just started so I know nothing. This seem super defensive to escape a nut after you! is this a good style to start and which is best for just good self defence? I'm only 5'9 so idk if the reach will work for me? Thinking of starting with boxing, Muay Thai and judo.

Do you also use pendulum bounce? The almost constant bouncing on the balls of your feet
Spamming jabs is great. Until you spam too many and get countered. The dart jab is very good though.
Its their distance management that gives them the edge
The jab isn't spammed it manages distance and when it's available that's when you let it fully go and follow up. Klitschko brothers for example.

I call it "Gnat With a Sledgehammer" boxing. When you advance, they retreat slightly out of range, but the instance when you relax, they immediately apply pressure. Pendulum boxers are defensive but relentless. Mentally exhausting.
I can feel it in my face
This suddenly remembers "Lemeshev".
The best style
Бокс это отличная штука!
Despite being tall I don't like jabs. I don't get near the power. However, most trained boxers always expect me to jab. They are completely off gaurd when I get in close and usually I can get a few hits off. Once they get wise I go southpaw and throw jabs with my dominant arms. Which helps the stamina in the later rounds
Clever tactics
Моя страсть… Господи излечи меня от травм, чтобы я занимался этим и достиг высот…
"They attack while retreating" ah...the good ol' Russian "scorched earth" tactics 😂
thankful to have been trained in this style
Fighting peekaboo style at 5'10 with my friend who fights Soviet style at 6'3 is so annoying lol, keeps sniping me with hooks and jabs.
The KGB has taught me for this moment..
Knife shoe activate!
Boxer: wait what 👀!?!💢
😅
Yep but don't forget when we jump forward and get real close with a liver shot
The attack while retreating is actually based on the soviets in ww2 in the battle of staling rad where Soviet keeps firing and retreating
My nose started hurting watching this
🥲
Impressive. Just takes timing, rhythm, and off balancing to easily overcome it
Good footwork
Thx
My coach does this style, and yeah, he's totally right. Although I don't like the style, I'm more of finding an opening and just continuing from there
I really like this style ngl 😅
Amazing movements!
I heard this style requires tons of stamina compared to other styles, is it worth it for someone not that tall?
Just started boxing using the traditional American style, literally just started so I know nothing.
This seem super defensive to escape a nut after you! is this a good style to start and which is best for just good self defence? I'm only 5'9 so idk if the reach will work for me? Thinking of starting with boxing, Muay Thai and judo.
Hey! Yes, you need good stamina for that
Short people can combine it with the regular step footwork
You don’t need this style for self defence
Me, a Mike Tyson fan seeing the opponent strike linearly: *Peekaboo intensifies* 🗿
Its like they just took the way they defended the germans from invading in ww2 to boxing attacking while retreatibg
Basically
