I've been training boxing for 2 years, there are no boxing gyms in my local town, so I had to train by myself. I focused on shadow boxing, stretching, footwork, so in this situation eastern boxing training style really helped me. I will go on my journey until my body works. thank you Andrii, your videos are really helpful for self training 👍🇰🇷🇺🇦
Love your channel and your Boxing contents. My father did amateur in Cuba long, long time ago and from the analysis, its more Eastern style for sure, also when he saw the Holistic portion of your video, Cuban amateurs also did the floor roll and juggling with baseballs for old school hand speed and eye precision....Crazy how is the wonderful world of Boxing. Perfect 10 video!!
Just have to remind you that every country will say that they focus more on being intelligent with their skills and there is a natural bias towards thinking your training is superior to others. There are a lot of smart American fighters like Floyd Mayweather and differences between Mexico and USA boxing. Can't really lump them all together.
I live in germany but your videos have a great influence on my fighting style so at the most recent championship the ref complemented it for being so unique 😅 thanks bro, keep going 💪
Can you make a video or short of old school inside fighters/brawlers like Jake la Motta or Rocky Marciano? Excellent video on stylistic differences throughout the world
I just found your channel by chance. I love it dude. I used to box many years ago and I'm an old man now, I think in the West, there was and still lingers a sensationalism, fanfare, and almost a contest by boxing promoters to put freaks in the ring. they're huge, most are found lacking in stamina towards the end of a bout, can throw and sometimes take punches that would probably kill a normal human. Don King created this with Mike Tyson. He made and promoted sluggers who weren't as technically proficient as a boxer in the east might be. I remember watching championship bouts that were laughable. If they lasted 10 rounds, they were boring because they didn't have the stamina to punch for that long, or they ended early because they got paid too much to be there and could double that paycheck if they lost and fought a second time. There were so many paper tigers in the ring it was pathetic. That was Don King's effect and legacy. BUT you didn't see this as much in the boxers from lighter weights. Much better boxers, much better boxing.
Thank you for the feedback and sharing your thoughts. That’s completely true Don King made a huge impact on boxing culture by putting up shows like that
I remember in my old gym of they would laugh at the group of Khazak guys that trained separately for their "safe point style". Our guys would get their asses kicked and say at least they showed heart and courage and took risks. Khazaks were better but our guys took some sort of moral victory. They would rather fight in an excited way than to win it seemed. They didn't want to win by points. The KO was the most important. So I think it's a culture thing too. I've been shown the Peekaboo Mike Tyson style all my life even though I'm a lanky body type that doesn't like in fighting and I find the eastern style fits me much better because I prefer flexible tactics and mobility over other advantages.
@@akhotinbxng I am rooting for Bivol because I love his style. But we all know Beterbiev needs only one punch to finish the fight. Bivol was rattled by Joe Smith's right hand. The bell saved him. Beterbiev is a much harder opponent, technically and power-wise.
@@guts429I’d say their foundation is Soviet style with the heavy use of the jab and good footwork but in the case of Beterbiev, Since he has natural power, he prefers to bang a little so he incorporates a more hybrid approach to make use of his power effectively.
You know, it's not even just the style differences between the west and the east, even the fans are totally different, for example when shakur Stevenson fought against his latest opponent in his hometown, people were so bored they practically walked away from the building by the 8th round, they wanted him to straight up knock his oponent out or be dominent. but boxing fans from the east and most of europe i think appreciate watching boxers play chess just as much as fans in the west love war.
I’m from Russia and I understand why did he do so. It’s not a mistake nor a political decision. Russia is the only one post-Soviet country where Soviet boxing heritage has failed to be saved. Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan are the countries where boxing coaches are still using Soviet training methods nowadays while Russia’s not. As soon as USSR collapsed, a boxing in Russia has been changed completely. It’s never been at least somewhere alike since then. As for Bivol, first of all his style isn’t completely Soviet even though most of the elements are Soviet. Secondly, Bivol is an exception, his Soviet base is a result of a hard work of his coach Isaev. Isaev was one of the few specialists in Russia who didn’t stop using soviet methods in training even after the USSR collapsed.
I once sparred against a guy from Ukraine and he destroyed me. I have about 2 years experience and he has about 20. It turned out he was a national champ of Ukraine. It made me study his fighting style to compliment my mexican style. I'll never forget
@@When8-1u can sharpen it as a tool, a very skilled user I've seen from one is boots ennis or crawford I think, i don't recommend using it as ur bread and butter tho, Floyd in his prime 20s was using the Philly as a tool but not a main style as he's happy to brawl at u in the pocket, James Tony was using the Philly shell as a war machine so I think u should absolutely master it especially if u want to be a better defensive boxer
Mexico is an outlier that makes western style seem hyper aggressive and rambo. Mexican culture depends they macho it up and mix it up. Blacks I’ve trained with recommended hitting and making the opponent miss
I’ve noticed from other videos that u don’t like the word Russia or talk about their style of boxing. Personal question do you dislike Russia boxing due to Ukraine and Russia situation?

Yes, you’re right that’s why I said broad generalisation. I like everyone style because it’s unique and respect all boxing schools
Yeah, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t bullsh*tting and/or grandstanding. I can believe something that isn’t true. Look at religion.
Thats true. I used to like russian boxing and now i see it as very weak i dont like it at all
He did say he was making broad generalisations and that fighters do utilize individual approach.
Poor listening comprehension skills.
Floyd Mayweather😂😂😂😂
Very good "insight" on the analytical breakdown of the two boxing 🥊 styles. thanks for sharing 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it 👊
@@akhotinbxng 🤙
It's another cool video. i would add differences in foot placement in both styles. planted vs on toes.
Thanks! Good idea to mix different footwork techniques
Thanks for the upload, hello from the Philippines
Thanks for the comment 🇵🇭🤝🇺🇦
thanks , i was waiting for you to drop . i was so bored
Hah that’s nice to hear
I would love to spend a few weeks in an eastern boxing school.
I’m sure you would have a lot of fun
I live in germany but your videos have a great influence on my fighting style so at the most recent championship the ref complemented it for being so unique 😅 thanks bro, keep going 💪
Haha same here bro
Wow I am truly happy to hear that! Keep up the good work
Feeling 2 times better now:)
I really love the fighting style of the triple olympic champion Laszlo Papp 🇭🇺 a blend of technical mastery and agression.
The best combination of temper and skill 🔥
cool video, love your content. subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
I very like Vasyl Lomachenko and Denis Berynchyk from Ukrain.Respecht from Hungary lot of nice boxer from Ukrain.
Appreciate the support 🇭🇺🤝🇺🇦
Great video
Thanks!
@@akhotinbxng can you please relocate to Canada and become my dedicated coach? Thanks lol.

And then the best fighter from Kazakh so far ggg turned out to be a power pressure ko artist. So the typical Kazakh fights more like Israil Madrimov?
That’s true the mindset depends on culture a lot. Hmm very interesting choice of a style for a tall person :)
Looking forward Bivol vs Beterbiev. Amazing technician vs monstrous power
The fight will be interesting and it’s very close on paper
@@akhotinbxng I am rooting for Bivol because I love his style. But we all know Beterbiev needs only one punch to finish the fight. Bivol was rattled by Joe Smith's right hand. The bell saved him. Beterbiev is a much harder opponent, technically and power-wise.
Do you have a video on lasting longer while sparring?
I posted a short about that a while ago
Should go back in history a bit to show the difference’s between American and English boxing, just as it turned from self defence into a sport.
That would be a long and interesting video
I like Eastern more - very inteligent.
I like mixing both
im struggling on cross going forward when in on pendulum, some tips?
Move your body weight to your lead foot and rotate both hips at the same time
Bivol has the most Soviet style I seen. I hope Israil Madrimov gets his well deserved rematch against TBud
Yes, the rematch would be very interesting. He’s a good opposition for Crawford
Bivol is the only Russian who’s using that style. Beterbiev, Valuev, Povetkin, Lebedev aren’t Soviet style boxers
@@guts429I’d say their foundation is Soviet style with the heavy use of the jab and good footwork but in the case of Beterbiev, Since he has natural power, he prefers to bang a little so he incorporates a more hybrid approach to make use of his power effectively.
I wonder what would happen if both boxing styles were mixed🤔
Just a good well-rounded boxer like GGG for example. And there are many other guys who mix things up
Soviet is the best style
You know, it's not even just the style differences between the west and the east, even the fans are totally different, for example when shakur Stevenson fought against his latest opponent in his hometown, people were so bored they practically walked away from the building by the 8th round, they wanted him to straight up knock his oponent out or be dominent. but boxing fans from the east and most of europe i think appreciate watching boxers play chess just as much as fans in the west love war.
That is partly true. But in the East people still want to see blood and not everyone enjoys boxing on the highest level

bro didnt say russia😂
Yeah :)
@@akhotinbxng Man I love your videos just don't go behind the fame like other influencers, youre one of my favourite boxing influencer
that is the country that shouldn’t exist 😂
@@bromillen1054 then Bivol wouldn’t exist

That must have been a good lesson for you that made you a much better boxer
Nice
Thanks
I am American but I like eastern style better
You can combine them both 🔥
Do you have any tips for longer reach? I’m trying Philly shell and I need my lead arm to extend more when jabbing
Try to pull your rear shoulder back when jabbing. It will rotate your lead shoulder more and you will reach further
@@akhotinbxng Thank you! Should I stick with the Philly shell and practice it more?
@@When8-1u can sharpen it as a tool, a very skilled user I've seen from one is boots ennis or crawford I think, i don't recommend using it as ur bread and butter tho, Floyd in his prime 20s was using the Philly as a tool but not a main style as he's happy to brawl at u in the pocket, James Tony was using the Philly shell as a war machine so I think u should absolutely master it especially if u want to be a better defensive boxer
@@MakeFood-sc4of Thanks! I’m practicing the hitman variation as well as I think offensive styles fit me right now
Yeah and I’ll try to add some parts of Philly as well for defense

Thank you!
don't forget boxing came to all ex-USSR countries from Western Europe mainly in 20-30th years of last century. It wasn't invented in USSR=)
That’s true
Привет! Можно ли где то посмотреть твои бои? спасибо заранее
Я планую зробити наступне відео з розбором свого старого бою
Mexico is an outlier that makes western style seem hyper aggressive and rambo. Mexican culture depends they macho it up and mix it up. Blacks I’ve trained with recommended hitting and making the opponent miss
That also depends on a fighter a lot, for example Canelo doesn’t brawl and his defence is top notch

Who is your favorite boxer? :)
I would say Usyk and Inoue from those who compete but I like all the legends who finished their careers
Oleksandr Usyk is 1,91m, i wouldn‘t consider this short 😅 it‘s just his opponents often are insanely tall
He's probably talking about the fact that he's always the shorter guy in his fights yet he still uses an out boxing style
yes, you‘re right of course. I just needed to put it in perspective 😂
Yes, that’s what I meant. He is shorter than his opponents but overall he’s tall
this was really interesting even tho i stopped liking russian kinds of boxing
Glad that you liked it
I hate soviet union too, but unfortunately this is still with us. ( I'm from Georgia)
Yeah we can understand it as no one else 🇬🇪🤝🇺🇦
@@akhotinbxngfortunately we can understand, but some people can't
дуже класне відео🤤
Дякую, ти дуже класна ;)
Soviet style is the best!
All styles are good
Петр Ян жақсы.

West vs East aka usa allied nations vs soviet block nations

Western boxing is the cte compare to Eastern boxing
Not really. That depends on fighters

I’ve noticed from other videos that u don’t like the word Russia or talk about their style of boxing. Personal question do you dislike Russia boxing due to Ukraine and Russia situation?
Let’s not forget Russia the kings of eastern boxing ❤️ 🇷🇺
who exactly?) except of Kostya Tzyu and Dmitry Bivol?
@@vanyavanya-bo4js you clearly aren’t a real boxing fan if those are the only 2 Russian fighters you know
@@Kaatter I know them all) but who of them now has such style except of Bivol?
No mention of the Russian Empire among the East?! Bivol learned how to box in the Russian Empire and is smarter eastern fighter today
There is no such thing as r***ian empire
The empire stopped existing more than 100 years ago :)
He’s a good fighter and learned it in russia
Bro you didnt mention russia wtf
That’s for a reason. I don’t mention it in any of my videos
I think the man is having enough hearing and talking about Russia for a lifetime. Put 2 and 2 together.
Hmmm okay
@@altaydogahan342 ok but what do russian sportsmen have to do with politics? I was surprised there was no mention to bivol for example
Who has probably the cleanest soviet style in pro boxing
Nice
Very nice :)
