Punching hard sounds like a no brainer but against aggressive fighters that want to be on top of you and overwhelm you this is especially important. A lot of these aggressive fighters believe they have more power than you, so hitting them with a hard clean shot can change the pace of a fight by forcing your opponent to respect your power. They will slow wayyy down the second you give them something to worry about, especially in lower level competition.
Yea but once you get to a certain level these mfs can really crack i seen a Mayweather interview it was like 4 years old but he said straight up maidana puches like he got steal in gloves some dudes different some dudes even blocking they shit hurts remember sparring different when you fight 8.0z gloves no gear Broner said he pissed blood after his fight you might think them body shots not hurting them 😂
that is so true because everything isnt about actions and speed and strength you gotta remember about mentality, mentality is your will power, your reaction, your true strength.
yes dude i was always the smaller fighter and always found myself on the back foot my coach told me to start pressing forward with a high guard and some clean shots. A good body shot will get a mf to back up esp timed at the right moment
Very true and most of them don't. Those of us with touch of death have no stamina. That's true of all weghts right down from a Connor McGregor size to heavyweight. If you can hit like someone 20kg heavier than you you have the gas tank of someone 40kg heavier. People who can really hit hard have to constantly manage gas and be very defensive . We only need one clean shot . But we only have like 30 shots a round for 5 rounds in us . We can't waist them volume punching. Like look at GGG . He hardly throws . But what he throws breaks a man .
@@avancalledrupert5130 Any time I compete against an aggressive fighter I have the mindset that they do not yet respect me. This works to your advantage though because when you force someone to fight at a slower pace by landing a clean shot and gaining that respect for your abilities, not only will they be fatigued but they will have to rethink their approach as well. The mental game of fighting is often times the deciding factor, if you control the pace and mentality of your opponent you have more time to adapt and set up techniques.
1. Good defense 2. stay relaxed 3. Start First 4. keep them turning 5. use footwork when needed 6. catch and counter in the pocket 7. punch hard 8. fight in the inside 9. stay of the ropes (circle out, catch one drop, catch counter escape, smothering) 9. back your opponent up
I liked your bully reference. I remember a bully type of guy in school. He wasn't really a violent bully in sense of real damage being done, but he was taller & bigger and would do stuff like punching your shoulder hard. Eventually I had enough and popped him with an uppercut to his mid section... I was about to run away, but I noticed that the guy just wasn't recovering from the body shot. He was bent over, holding his stomach and just looking at me in shock 😂 That's when I noticed that punching back works like a charm, even when you're at physical disadvantage. However, the mental fortitude, often referred to as confidence, is more important than strength or physicality. It's hard to fight back when you're in a scared state of mind. Still I would advise boys, who have trouble with that to take up a combat sport in order to maintain that mental fortitude, because you can lose your courage over the course of the time. And a big plus is that your strength, your overall athleticism and fight game improves. Doesn't have to be boxing. Wrestling works too.
Finally I’ve been struggling fighting on the back foot I have a lot of sparring partners that are aggressive they think they are canelo and I want them to respect me I sometimes clinch to negate their attack but it’s difficult I’m a counter puncher and I have low work rate at the back foot
Get some shadowing boxing work on the backfoot champ and drill step back punches. Step back 2. Step back 2-3. Also working on your pivots and check hooks. Go to the park or track and work on running backwards. In sparring. Get loose and calm. This is a great drill to work as well. ua-cam.com/video/iOTA6g8v5A0/v-deo.html
I used to favor counter fighting. Learning to stay on the balls of your feet and whenever you’re moving back or left to right while punching to never cross your feet or land on your heel
If you look at the mayweather canelo fight again one of the things he used against canelo was the constant jab to the solar plex. It does wonderful things slowing down an aggressive fighter.
Coach my son is 7 and he has been watching your videos since he was 5, he says you are his coach and he got me to buy him the the all in one bundle that he watches and practices. Just to let you know you have a fan base of kids too.
My coach always told me one thing about aggressive fighters who like to come forwards,and pressure all the time ,they can not go backwards,so he always said be passive aggressive by pushing them back ,because they can’t fight backwards.
Hey the first tip was so helpful just have good defense not an example of good defense doesn't tell me how to have good defense just have good defense and you're good that was a perfect example and the perfect way to tell someone how to fight an aggressive fighter just have good defense even with no experience just have good defense
I find it interesting how different boxing coaches and different boxing analysts make use of different terminology. For instance there's a boxing analyst on UA-cam who always points out how boxers line up opponents.... Usually they line up opponents with lead hand or lead shoulder. Floyd Mayweather did that a lot. Or Coach Barry Robinson. I follow him on Instagram and he always talks about the rhythm step and how it can get you in trouble. Don't think I ever heard Coach Anthony drop the term rhythm step. It's like university professors who teach the same subject, but have different approaches to teach it.
Love the editing with the sound effects, writing & graphics with the fire. When are you and Matthew Fouts going to spar? 😁 😂 Ross Perot,”Why can’t we all just get along?” Love both of you guys.
I have had many street encounters ... one thing that I have had good luck with is immediately clinching and leg sweeping to the ground ... shock and awe ... then it is easy to choke until sleeping like a baby ... learned this through hundreds of rolling sessions in the USMC ... that way you do a few things ... #1 surprise, #2 cannot get punched when you have a tight body clinch, #3 easy to take down when you have the the plan ahead of time and have practiced it in real time ... why risk getting tagged with a lucky shot when you can put him to sleep in 15 20 seconds and walk away with maybe just some skinned knee caps.
8:00 I remember one fight where I was completely flat footed to hold my ground against an aggressive fighter. The fourth fight I had with the boxer. His trainer said to us we don’t want to box anymore. Which in a way I was happy cause he was a very skilled, aggressive and strong enough boxer. Good bout though.
To me, being and to handle an overly aggressive fighter is what separates a "blue belt" from "purple belt" in combat sports. And being able to punish them for it is what separates "purple belts" from "brown belts", to borrow from BJJ leveling.
right but thre's always a small posibility to get a splin or liver punch when clinching...and though its from very close range, it could knock you down if it finds no block on the sides imo
If I could emphasize one: Tie up the aggressive fighter. It's very frustrating for him. Get your shot off & tie him up. There is an art to tying up a fighter and learn it.
Everything he said is truth, but I would like to add a tactic to be used during infighting. Which is framing with your lead forearm firmly & forcefully against your opponent's face, or forehead. Something like how Floyd Mayweather use to do it. Because this forces your opponent to make a decision to either throw a punch while getting his head tore off, or work his head or face against the forearm without throwing punches.
What ? Fast Eddie? First time I saw him was fighting a guy named Derek Rossi, who was an up and coming prospect out of LI. Eddie whooped him. I said "OMG, this man is a boxers boxer." He just knows the craft. It must be great to have him there.
When your in with a dangerous puncher that can hurt you you gotta be relaxed but you also have to have a poker face and not show him that your afraid or over reacting to every punch he throws plus blinking when the shots are coming! Practice Practice Practice it takes doing it in the gym
Great video. I spar as much as possible because I wanna keep being able to stay as calm as possible when those punches(and kicks in my case) start flying at my face and head and body and legs and defend and respond appropriately. I breath through the nose, exhale through the mouth, several deep breaths before every sparring match, it really calms me down and settles me before the match begins. Against other guys that come straight at you aggressively, I often will stand with them high guard up and let them punch themselves out on my guard while I return fire at good moments; and I'll do things to mess with their timing; or else I will move to outside punching range and blast them with leg kicks, before moving back into boxing range and comboing with my boxing off my leg and body kicks.
Hey Coach...I am into martial arts, but I also incorporate lots of boxing into our sparring. Overall I love what you present here...give me good insight on technical boxing here. What you think about switching from southpaw to orthodox stance to defend and attack against aggressive fighters. Do you think it screw up their range and distance?

Fast Eddie has very natural but crisp shots. Perfect technique 👌
Great video 🙏🏾
Eddie seems to be a good actor and a funny guy. Conveys a lot of info with his facial expressions.
Shout out to Coach Anthony givin us some pointers on how to whoop some ass!!!
very informative coach! I'll try these tips out on sparring, thanks!
Anthony excellent explanation of “ 2 safest spots . Another explanation is : Cut the distance off of the punch by getting close

I love your videos man, i think the best part about your videos is the examples of the fighters known for the things you are about to show
This breakdown reminds me of the Spence / Porter fight . Spence did everything you mentioned . Good channel love the content.
Pure gold. Thank you coach
Great Video, excellent practical time tested techniques.
Amazing coach
Brilliant video. Realistic common sense broken down the way it is! Thank you 🙏
Love this coach!!!
Nice 💪🏽🥊🥊👊🏽
Thank you Champ. 🌹
Coach Anthony , it’s a bit off the subject .Can you recommend good focus mitts/Air mitts .
You might of gave away too much "Sauce" in this one coach. Great vid and much appreciated.
excellent stuff coach
Good teaching,coach
Jojo Diaz could've used this, especially the "be first" tip.
I felt that "I don't care" when deciding to fight the bully. lol 😆
Easier said than done.
beautiful tips coach 💪
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video coach
Coach good stuff as I've boxed as well. My profile shows me at an early fight in my youth. Where is your gym ? Thanks coach ✌🏾
Great content coach!!
Do you have any southpaw video on defense which I feel creates offense
Fax I need those
The same apply to a southpaw fighter?
thank you
i just texted u .. i figured it out
bruh that thumbnail with Eddie looking scared is hilarious.
Great info 💯
Coach, have you ever taught how to block and evade in a street fight, how to block a haymaker in a street fight
i use to think that if ur a inside or outside fighter its all that you should do but the elite put it all together
Best defense is more offensive.
Strike First Strike hard
One i can say is to bring the fight to them. Pop them commit to your shots
Dang I will work on my Defense.. definitely.. hopefully this weekend I can show you something Coach..💯😁
💪🏽
Are most amateur fights aggressive though? Because of the time and rules.
Yes
great!!!
A great recent fight using these techniques Gabe Rosado vs Beck the bully
💪🏽💪🏽
Good tips
But it didn't work on IRON MIKE TYSON! 🤔🤣 Bang, bang bang bang! 😳
Super helpful!
Do you help train
What do you mean?

2:11 has saved me from losing
Everyone has a plan until they get 👊 in the face.
