I had to write a quick review about Rival’s boxing headgear. I started using them a few months ago and they are amazing! They feel great and have great cushion for my head against punches. There’s nothing else more important when it comes to headgear if you ask me. Above are the four current headgear products I see from their website. This review basically judges all of them in a nutshell.
Want to INSTANTLY improve your offense and defense? Always keep your Eyes On Opponent. When on defense, don't cower so far behind your guard that you can't see where the punches are coming from. Look out from behind your guard and stare down your opponent. Pick off those punches and throw a counter when you see a hole in your opponent's defense.
When on offense, you should definitely keep your Eyes On Opponent because it ensures that you are committed to the punch. You are being confident, the punch will strike with more impact, and you may notice even more punching opportunities.
Remember: Eyes On Opponent!

Timing your boxing footwork effectively to get in and out of range.
I’ve known this for a long time but never thought about sharing it online until I saw a friend getting hammered last Friday during an intense sparring session. Basically, his opponent was a bigger guy chasing him down and landing big shots. My friend was doing all he could to keep moving and maintain a gap between him and his opponent but his “constant movement” wasn’t enough to keep his opponent off of him. I figured some of you might want to know what I said to my friend in between rounds.
I’ll have to be honest. I didn’t come here to train; I came here to see Manny Pacquiao. But then it ended up being a training session with former world champion “Cool” Vince Phillips, the only man to ever knock out Kostya Tszyu. He slapped me in the face several times for dropping my hands.
This gym is like a boxing zoo or boxing theme park! I’ve never seen so many people in one place. The size of the gym was like 2 boxing rings and some extra space. I saw at least 60 people crammed in there and another boxer told me it was only half as packed as normal – CRAZY! It was common to see 2-3 people sharing a heavy bag or double-end bag. I saw 2 sparring matches in the ring at the same time while Vince Phillips worked mitts with me IN THE SAME RING! Hahahaha! I’ll never forget the madness.
I also did see Manny Pacquiao finishing his workouts. I saw Jose Benevidez and Shawn Porter warming up as well as a ton of other well-named boxers. It was like a star-studded gym workout. I even spoke with Freddie Roach for 5-10 minutes about some upcoming fights.
A friendly place for serious boxers. Crowded but the busy atmosphere will definitely challenge you!
This was my first gym where I tried out boxing for the first time. I loved everything about it. It’s small, undersized and you can probably train here forever and never pay a single dime (that’s what I did). Awesome trainers, individual attention.
