I am a professional Boxer and it is one of my favorite punches to use, it's very useful to have in your box of tools and I recommend it to all fighters to develop this Punch
Ive been training this one a lot after seeing Beterbiev use it in his fights, cool to find that it has a name! Thank u for the content brother 👊 always learn lots from your breakdowns
This is my go to combo works every time, you throw a fast 1 2 3 then feint with a jab then throw 1 2 as they bring their glove up to block a hook you step in with a strong straight jab
@@freemarket913 not all the time. There's so many combos you can use to set this combo up, also after 1 2 1 their guard will be high so liver will be exposed you throw a hard left hook to body then pivot on the left side.
I’ve been doing this since I started, not knowing it was an advanced technique. Finishing with the lead hand helps reset your stance after a rear hand punch, so I just assumed it was common practice if you weren’t in hook range
Landed it during sparring. Went in with a fake left hook and screwed it into a hard jab. Now it's not just limited to a left hook you can use this technique to cancel every hook or uppercut into a hard jab or cross.
I love this punch. From some sparring I seen of Bruce Lee he seemed to loved it too to make his jab stiff and with power. I love how this punch can effectively control distance when mixed with lighter jabs.
Watching Crawford vs Spence, Bud taught me that’s a great counter to the jab to the body, 2 followed by a solid jab every time Spence thru a jab to the body.
Yep. I do this when holding mitts for people. Jab, cross, double jab while stepping forward. Or Doubl jab, rear hook, double jab stepping towards the lead side.
The 1 2 1 is one of my favourite combinations. I've learned it because i mostly use the straight punches. I like to do with the first one two-being lighter and normally the last jab one being a power punch.
I was doing it and didn't know it was a thing! Thanks for giving a name to something I thought was relatively common. I'm very fast on my feet and good at keeping my head offline so this has never come off as a risky maneuver to me, any time anyone follows up with a counter i've backstepped or brought up my guard cause... It's a jab, it's easy to recover from.
Similar techniques exist for use in MMA where kicks and knees are brought in to the striking repertoire. Just like in boxing, opponents expect certain combos. Mixing it up can produce good results. P.s. You can also create patterns for your opponents that you then switch up after getting him used to a certain combo from you. These are profoundly more effective if the combos you are dropping hurt. As an example, you can throw a back leg kick to the opponent's thigh and as soon as you touch your foot back to the ground, you immediately target the leg again. Only this time, the leg is a feint and you turn it into a head kick. In most cases, they will subconsciously drop their hand to protect their thigh, usually only part way, but it leaves the head unguarded for a moment. This kick isn't usually powerful enough to knock someone out, but it can stun them and/or affect their confidence. Using this faking-leg-kick to the head is sometimes seen individually, often called an "S-kick," but nearly always, will not be very effective. Pounding that leg first dramatically improves the effectiveness of this move.
Very interesting. My trainer teach me the swivel jab as an defence kind of motion to create space and go out of firing range. Well timed this move can save you a lot of problems ,or even cause one :D
I knew a karate master who taught a very similar punch. Either step in slightly w the left or twist the hips into it, or both. Jack Dempsey used a stiff left like that, too. it was my favorite punc. i even managed to tag the sixth-dan master with it once.
My trainer taught me it before he taught me a lead hook I still use it 2 years later and it destroys southpaws I mix it up between that and my lead hook
Mechanically, a swivel jab loads on the cross and it loads on the drop of the hand. I've used it successfully in sparring in every combat sport I've ever done. You can do it as a low loaded straight or you can do it as a loaded flicker jab. The best way I've found to use it with my style is after body shots with the flicker jab off the load.
I believe Archie Moore called it a left cross After throwing your right hand the lady at that moment is now the back hand and now if you throw it it has more power
I wouldn't call that a back hand, I'd call it a rear hand instead, since the term back hand is usually associated with the martial arts technique where you literally use the back of your fist or hand to make contact following an outward swing of your elbows or shoulders.
As I use this as a solid technique in my boxing, i would point out a Pro not listed is actually Power/Suprise. Meaning, you can actually figure out how much force would be needed for a punch that the oppenent cant see or isnt expecting. Anyone who fights obviously knows, 95% of seen punches dont stop you, and 95% of unseen punches do drop you. You fix the issue of unbalanced vulnerable base by stance switching in rhythm as you are throwing. This negates you ever stopping square, and the pivot in the front foot on the 3rd punch is a power punch because you are pivoting on your lead to switch stances. This is how Manny Pacquio could reach you from so manny angles a boxing coach would never teach you to punch from. If you are going to throw a swivel jab or the new fad, up jab, as the 3rd punch in a string, change stances while punching. As an orthodox that would mean when the swivel jab lands, you should be in southpaw position, and if you pivot on your front foot you can line up a straight left as a 4th shot. If you need tape, go watch Manny vs David Diaz the knockout, or watch Manny fight Margarito. I say Manny because this video is his style. Everything in his style stems from throwing off number punches in sequence. Just a thought.
Crawford's knockdown on Spence with this punch was the greatest statement moment of the fight for me. It was like "yeah bro train whatever you want, I'm still gonna surprise you"
This is a great punch sequence, especially as jab cross jab, or for those who use numbers 1-2-1. Up and down as well. Pacquiao was one of the best to do this
I kinda disagree with the downside to doing the swivel jab here, I don't think you're unbalanced if you throw it after the backhand, cause you can still be in your regular stance and can easily block or evade an incoming punch if you miss or don't hit your target, if you retract your hand right away. Unlike the hook if you miss with that or don't land with it you can easily be countered after, which is more risky to me, with the swivel jab you have a better chance of staying safe if you miss. But that's just me.
I've been doing this jab these past few months in sparring just to add up to my arsenal, I didn't know its called swivel jab I thought it was just a 2-1 combination 😂
Haha i been throwing this punch for years i had a coach tell me i was upjabbing wrong before, I ignored him glad to know it has a name, deadly when someone walks into it!!
Also you can lead with a gazelle punch, not with a swivel jab. A swivel jab is the last punch. But it is similar in the way you launch forward@@AhlooLevy
Gonna try it in Muay Thai. I already took the body jab to a Muay Thai spar and got some good results, not overusing it is key, cause if I use it more than twice, I'm getting kicked in the face, but if I use it sparingly, to stop some combination or to get their breathing, it's pretty good.
I find it difficult to maintain proper posture from which to produce the power for the punch if I start throwing punches in bunches. The 1, 2, 3 that you spoke of is easier to maintain posture with. Having said that, some extra training and the swivel jab is something that I would like to add to the arsenal.
Pacquiao's four punch combo at the start of the video doesn't end with a jab, but a power punch, although it starts off as a jab. The announcer calls the punch a "hook."
This sounds strange to me. When I was a novice boxer the jab, cross, jab was our bread and butter combination. Coach had me spend at least 6 maybe 9 months working mainly on jab, but also getting good rhythm and power out of the jab, cross, jab then it was time to start trying to survive sparring sessions about once a week and adding the hook to my bag work.
Well the way I see it you can only throw it once or twice a fight because it does leave you off balance and it’s surprisingly slow because of the footwork required.
The akward positioning after swivel jab could be compensated by increasing your footwork balance and speed. But yeah, it is demanding to do so, but plausible.
its funny, ive never known this was an actual technique, its just kinda something i do normally with my combo, as i dont like my hook as much and ive found it easier to hit my shots doing this. That being said, i have a background in TKD so my footwork is something i dont even think about which probably led into this style of striking technique. it does put you into awkward positions and you need to have a good center of balance and balance recovery skills to be able to use it consistently. just be aware that if this does become a technique you use, it is something that can be read quite easily once expected and will put you in a vulnerable position if manipulated/dodged
Hm... generally speaking you always want to end your combinations with the lead hand so you're not caught squared up. Even if the jab is blocked/whiffs, it helps automatically turn your body into your regular defensive stance. 1,2,1 1,1,2,1 and 1,2,3 are the most fundamental boxing combinations there are.
Check hook swivel jab everybody’s gotta come up with names for punches that been around for more than a century and a half and weren’t called that before. Wonder what they’ll come up with next
In reply to the only con of this technique; imbalance. This technique is my favorite tool in my bag, what has worked for me to regain balance is instead of just focusing on where to place my lead foot, I actually plant my back foot more forward before I step in with my lead foot (im southpaw, so lead is my right foot). Try it out
A jab thrown after a backhand..interesting. When Crawford hurt Brook before he finished him, it look like he landed the swivel as a lead. Maybe that’s considered a power jab then since it was a lead shot?

Total BS! You are NOT a boxer!

How it go

No I hope you lose… jk good luck.
Tomorrow I will lol
Hope you remember to put your back hand up and moving after punch
Okay, so pretty much a 1, 2, 1.
I like it!
A perfect example is Pacman. Well explained.
tbh Pacman/Thurman looked more like a Lead Hook to me. I'd want to see an overhead view of it ideally. Manny so fast
@@robbybee70 on the Thurman fight, Manny was so close when he reduced the distance between them. I think that is why it looked like a lead hook imo.
well if he reduced distance enough that his arm was bent it was a hook@@facundo_26
It’s an effective punch with a surprise factor that has a specific place & timing during a match. Very good technique.

exellent work again, you explain the concepts behind things i sometimes do instinctivley......this helps so much , thx!!
Thank you for the comment!

That jab has also more power, because after you throw the rear hand, the shoulder of the jab rotates back, in a loaded position ready to explode.
This is one of Pacquiao's Signature Move

Dude I’m trying to learn fundamentals and your videos are a blessing

bivol and crawford are so precise with their swivels , like a sharpshooter.
Watching Crawford vs Spence, Bud taught me that’s a great counter to the jab to the body, 2 followed by a solid jab every time Spence thru a jab to the body.
This is also a martial arts punch combination that you’d see in Wing Chun and Karate.
Increíble vídeo. Súper explicativo! Keep on with the good work!
Yep. I do this when holding mitts for people.
Jab, cross, double jab while stepping forward.
Or
Doubl jab, rear hook, double jab stepping towards the lead side.
You forgot Aaron Pryor (depending on your age) .. he threw combos like this often especially against Alexis Arguello ..
There are probably thousands of boxers who use this punch often, obviously he's not gonna name every single one of them.
APPRECIATE YOU FOR THIS CLIP, IMMA USE IT AT TRAINING
The 1 2 1 is one of my favourite combinations. I've learned it because i mostly use the straight punches. I like to do with the first one two-being lighter and normally the last jab one being a power punch.

Since Pacquiao is short, it becomes a superman punch. Like how superman has its fist forward when flying.
Great work tbh. Could you explain "Hitman" style in the next video? Or explain Thomas Hearns flicker jab?
My trainer taught me it before he taught me a lead hook
I still use it 2 years later and it destroys southpaws
I mix it up between that and my lead hook
now think about when a south paw throws this on an orthodox fighter, they dont see it coming....
@MichaelWesten-yp4yj yeah it can work solidly with any stance
My comment, Swivel away timing is everything.
I found it easier to spot it from Manny. I find Matias's more difficult to spot because of his awkward stand.
Manny is a perfect example, he also found a way to take it to his advantage, as he has a short reacht people rarely expect those to land
@@skillrboxingPac doing it while also lunging at you is very weird it adds to his skillset of throwing punches at absurd angles/timings
A good ol reverse 1-2.Tyvm for your work! Keep it up! 🎉
Thanks will do!💪
Tried it in sparing after watching it , its so damn effective thanks for this video❤
been waiting for a video on this :)
Great vid. Subscribed!
People say Matias is one dimensional but he does have tricks under his sleeve with power and a tremendous jab.
It’s also great punch at the end of a combo to set up some kind of evasive movement so you can exit without receiving return fire.
Mechanically, a swivel jab loads on the cross and it loads on the drop of the hand. I've used it successfully in sparring in every combat sport I've ever done. You can do it as a low loaded straight or you can do it as a loaded flicker jab. The best way I've found to use it with my style is after body shots with the flicker jab off the load.
Would this be more efficient if as a southpaw u pivot to the opponent’s lead side right after u throw the punch?
I didn't know it was called the Swivel jab. I've been doing this since the Crawford v. Spence fight.
Great channel !
Think you should do more video's
And some on older fighters from other time periods.
Idk maybe dabble in kick boxing videos too ?
I believe Archie Moore called it a left cross

can you make longer videos analyzing full styles? like the canelo vids

Reminds me of Naseem Hamed. I probably just thought his was a long lead uppercut.
Have you done a video on the lead overhand punch?
Hm... generally speaking you always want to end your combinations with the lead hand so you're not caught squared up.

1,2,1. Stick and move! Stick and move!
so nice
Check hook swivel jab everybody’s gotta come up with names for punches that been around for more than a century and a half and weren’t called that before. Wonder what they’ll come up with next
The most dangerous jab is the one banned in boxing: the backfist jab/rising jab/JKD style jab
i use it as normal combination, 2 and then 1. with step to the left and lovering my level, and then i explode upwards and forward
I thought I made this jab up smh I called it shotgun jab lol now I know it already exists
Do jaron ennis breakdown i beg u
First knockdown spence ever experienced in a fight was off a swivel jab
True. Crazy when you think about it...

Often.
from those who brought you the 1-2. and the 1-2-1..... we're here to talk to you about=
So, Swivel Jab is essentially the jab version of the Bolo Punch.
1-2-1 is simpler than 1-2-hook. But every boxing gym I been to shows 1-2-3 first
You didn't mention shoulders swap position..I call it a straight left.. never heard swivel jab in my life I'm 55 now
We call it the gazelle jab
Basically it is 1-2-1 with power

Sergei Kovalev hit me with that shit all session 😒🤦🏿♂️
floyd counter the southpaw swivel jab with a lefthook over the jab
Is it good in a open stance as well?
I'd say best te would be if you had your opponent on yhe back Foot and you feel adventurous but be careful cause if you caught could be dangerous
