…sparring with amateur boxers. How is it that the professionals are able to spar competitively with less punches? I figured the professionals HAD to be throwing harder punches but it didn’t seem like it. The amateurs swung with more force and attacked with a more ferocious intent. The amateur boxers not only threw more punches but they threw the harder punches. Somehow, the professionals were still able to fend them off. Sure, the professionals were more calm and had better defense but there had to be something more. Thinking I was clever, I tried sparring…

Why You Should Try Boxing
…think boxing is challenging because getting hit in the face must be painful. They think of boxing as going to war, and they imagine themselves having to throw and absorb punches like Rocky. Let me give it to you straight: boxing is easily one of the most difficult things you’ll ever do in life – physically and mentally. It requires, strength, power, speed, endurance, reflexes, intelligence, and heart. But wait! There is another little known reason why boxing is so challenging: it is because it’s common for you to see the best athletes in the…
Wildcard Boxing Club
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…
The 3 Levels of Defense
…arms are held in a stationary positiong, serving as a basic shield against your opponent’s attacks. If you listened to anything your trainer said those first few times you sparred in the ring, it was probably something along the lines of “Put your hands up!” Advantage: Easy to do. Requires no skill. Works well for beginners. Very effective for blocking entire combinations. This defense protects you against any style of opponent. Disadvantage: Can block your vision from tricky punches. Not easy to counter-punch from. Can be tiring to hold your hands up all the time….
Everlast EverGel Glove Wraps Review
…Comfort The comfort is poor. There is a huge velcro seamline on the inside that scrapes my wrist. The fingers and palm feel great. The hole in the middle allows my hand to breathe without sweating too much. My biggest complaint however is that this glove takes up so much room that I can barely fit my hands into my boxing gloves. I also haven’t noticed superior protection for my knuckles over regular handwraps. The Verdict These Everlast EverGel Glove Wraps are ok for just regular use like hitting the speedbag or double-end bags but…
In An Amateur Fight, Fast Punches or Hard Punches?
…soft punch scores the same — 1 point. I must say that 3 clear hard punches is much more likely to be counted as 3 full points whereas a quickly flurry of 10 small punches may not get full credit. A punch that scores a knockdown still only scores 1 point. More often then not, amateur boxing resembles a hit-&-run game of freeze tag in the ring moreso than a slugfight. The Olympics is probably the best example of how you should fight your amateur fight: which is to throw dozens of punches but be…
How to Counter the Parry
…rollover (loose arm) first touch Parry Counter #1 – Fake Easiest way to counter a parry: throw a fake. Here I fake a jab. Richard falls for the fake, leaving his face open for a jab or left hook. Then I hit him with a real jab. This works well against faster fighters that react to your every move. Parry Counter #2 – Loose Hook Rollover Here’s another way to beat those parry-lovers. Throw a loose punch and wait for him to parry it. Then relax your arm and use the…
What is your favorite punch?
Q: What’s your favorite punch in boxing and why? A: I have 3. 1) The left hook – it’s fast, hits very hard, can be difficult to see, and can knockout your opponent when aimed at the head or the body. It’s easy to throw as a counter-punch since it comes in from the side and does massive damage to the other boxer since it spins the head making it the perfect knockout punch. You can give it different angles to make it more straight like a left cross or throw it from below to…
