Wonderful breakdown. Not all Cuban boxers are outside fighters, some are more aggressive, but one thing for certain is there is always a dance or a flow to their movements.
Very precise... the more you delve into Cuban Boxing the more you realise that there is no "Cuban Style" but simply "Cuban Technique" and the style we see in most of the Cuban boxers who fight internationally is the "strategy" of moving the feet against other international boxers who have not excelled in footwork. Inside Cuba you will see "Pro style knockout artists" and "Point-scoring fleet footed boxers"
I think there is something to it, sense of rhythm, fluid footwork, ability to move freely. Heard bunch of coaches claiming dancers make good boxers. And although not Cuban, Lomachenko's dad made him take dancing lessons before he allowed him to come back to boxing.
Very impressive breakdown. Someone already wrote that there are brawlers in the Cuban style and I agree, but to me they fit best as out-fighters and lightweights, a beautiful style with a mesmerizing technique.
A lot of Cuban and former Soviet Countries boxers are southpaw...is there a specific reason? Do they convert them for an advantage? Both these areas have a developed amateur scene, does it have anything to do with it?
Very good point! We noticed that too, in fact you can see the examples in this video are disproportionately southpaws. We did some research, but there is nothing clear on why it is, but it is a reality. My guess is they convert many of them to southpaw, either to have their strong hand as the lead, which makes sense for amateur boxing, or because of the advantage of fighting the opposite stance.
@@skillrboxing I emailed a coach who was trained by Filimonov and he said that the Soviet school focuses on ambidextrism from the get go and they convert a lot of right handed fighters to take advantage of the soutpaw stance, the same approach has been adopted by Cuban boxers. I showed him the video and he said he really likes it, but based on his experiences the influence of Soviet coaches has been underplayed :)
@@tariqziyad8062 cuban boxers are usually avoided, so they are never given the opportunity. For example, Erislandy Lara was avoided by both Charlos, Andrade, Mayweather and even GGG Regardless of who people think won, Canelo deserves lots of respect for fighting Lara when everyone else chose to avoid him.
@@tariqziyad8062 Yep. Cuban style incorporates a good amount of foot movement but when the legs go they get stopped or look ultra vulnerable. The style isn't suited for any sort of inside fighting at all but they are nice on an amateur level though.
I always wished I could be more agile and graceful like a Cuban boxer, currently I pendulum step around the ring which doesn't seem lightyears away from salsa dancing with gloves and a mouthpiece in after watching this video. Going to watch this video till I can memorise the words and memorize how to dance
The great Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez noted that dance was more deeply embedded in Cuban culture than any country he had visited. When I visited the country in 2001 I saw that first hand: their sense of movement is immediately noticeable. Even the plainest of Cubans can come to life when they move and you have explained that very well. I look forward to watching more Cuban fighters from now on.
Aesthetically the most beautiful style in boxing! Fun fact: Sugar Ray Robinson got his footwork from watching Eligio Sardinas, or also known as Kid Chocolate, who was Cuban. Interesting to see that style influence the perhaps greatest boxer ever!
Please make the breakdow of styles like sovietc,american,europen or like out boxer,swamer,sligger and boxe puncher please you videos are my favorite of boxe
From what i see they don't do something out of the ordinary they master the fundamentals all the punches u see it's all fundamentals n basics n they hiding it by dancing n moving in different rhythm so they can be unpredictable n frustrating there opponent n keep em guessing
Good but has difference, cuban its for Olympics, professional its other thing, and why? Because you dont have many cuban professional fighters, numbers said that, cuban its a goos school with all respect, but has many differences between them, included the points scores
Sugar? Rather poverty. Their hunger makes them great. When you live in a country that strives on controlling everything and everyone, art and sports are your only chance at freedom. Cuban athletes, soviet athletes, african athletes, they have that one trait in common: hunger. Keep up the great work champ!
Man, you just understand nothing in boxing schools :) Cuban school is based on soviet style and soviet school is not based on strength and stamina as you said but opposite.
Buy the PPV (Canelo vs Berlanga) and get a 7-day free trial of DAZN: www.dazn.com/skillrboxing
What do you think is the best style for amateur boxing
Wonderful breakdown. Not all Cuban boxers are outside fighters, some are more aggressive, but one thing for certain is there is always a dance or a flow to their movements.
100% Each fighter is unique, but there are commonalities

Yes it’s more of a mentality than a defined technical style. Good observation!
Good point. Your vids also helped understand Cuban Footwork better😉
@@skillrboxing😂😂😂 more to come - keep up the great content!
Long life to cuban boxing !!!! TBE
You are a great cuban boxing style teacher, man! Thanks from Brazil 🇧🇷👍🥊🥊
I love that addition of “Sugar” as the special ingredient. I think I’m going to experiment with shadow boxing and heavy bag work with music

@@yuriboyka9927We can't also forget Uysk and Sugar Ray Robinson.
As a cuban subscriber I was waiting for this
The Footwork is beautiful

Excellent breakdown!

Amazing video! Please create next video about other styles of boxing! Many thanks from Kazakhstan! 🇰🇿

I want to see Cuba before i die.
The knockout at 6:24 is absolutely brutal to watch. Massive brain damage.
Its a scary one, but a beautiful lead hook too
That's the type of damage that could effect him later in life.
Who is the boxer?

Soviets brought their boxing style to Cuba & it did wonders for them

I noticed that most of Cuban boxers are Southpaw like Japanese boxers. Great analysis btw. 💯
I think they are fighting the dominant hand in front
@@MatthewAbrahamian-zr7iu There is no clear reason, but I suspect the same
Filipino Boxing style and Mexican Boxing Style next :)
People don't know Mario Kindelan, but he's the best Cuban boxer.
From what i see they don't do something out of the ordinary they master the fundamentals all the punches u see it's all fundamentals n basics n they hiding it by dancing n moving in different rhythm so they can be unpredictable n frustrating there opponent n keep em guessing
Jaja, asere ahi habla de nuestra escuela de boxeo
Tbh they like when Lara does it but not Shakur for some reason 🤷🏾♂️ I don’t prefer neither but I’m fair 😂
No they don't like when any black person fights like that only people like fury
Who was the guy against canelo?
Erislandy Lara
We need a Roberto Duran analysis
Mexican style plisss

The whole of Africa tho ? Cmon bro 😂 at least throw out a country
