Thank you Coach! From watching Usyk vs Lomachenko - Usyk seems more economical with his energy. Both those guys are fortunate to have Papachenko as their coach.
@Michael Myers The main difference except their styles is that Usyk is willing to get hit but gets it back in the end. Lomachenko almost never gets hit. For me Lomachenko is the exception, but both of them are great.
@@Alexamdern Usyk beat AJ a lot easier than some of his other fights , Usyk has had ! Micheal Hunter was matching Usyk for 5 rounds and then Usyk amazing stamina and pace took over ! Usyk ability to go 12 rounds and fight every second of every round is what sets him apart ! Usyk s Fury will be an intriguing fight ! Fury won’t be able to psyche Usyk out before the fight ! Fury will have to be at his fittest and best to beat Usyk !
@@MaxMax-th7uz Just one thing.. have you seen Lomachenko? I stand by my claim, he's fighting strategy is more solid although they are damn good both of them
Fran, I've seen a lot of other UA-cam channels do break downs of boxers techniques and movement over the actual fight footage itself. Would be really cool to see you do this. I think it would be a great addition to your channel. Keep up the good work !
I've been waiting for this! Usyk is my favourite active boxer. One thing that I would like you to explore is how Usyk gets his head out of the center line when he punches.
Excellent as always Fran. For me he’s like a bigger version of Lomachenko. It makes sense considering how closely they train together but I truly think his performance against Joshua was underrated. As soon as I saw they stand face to face at the weigh in I saw the height difference wasn’t much and when I saw Usyk meet Fury in a post match quick photo I have the same feeling. I think Fury has his work cut out. I rarely say it but 50/50
Hello Seb, hope you are well. He's masterful, only a fool would write him off. I think Fury has more options in terms of constant pressure...but we'll see. Great comment btw pal
Happy New year 2022! Excellent break down Coach! The Soviet boxing method is the most exhausting style of boxing in the sport, yet the most effective when it's done at the highest echelon of skills like Lomachenko and Usyk. It's like trying to swat at a fly that simultaneously hits you like kissing the Express train.
I’m starting off a young guy just finished training high guard stiff jab and slipping and bob and weave This is a great way to continue him Thanks I’m not a genuine boxer more a Kung fu guy who has a foundation in boxing
fran. you're good at teahnnics. but what you're really fantastic at is teaching. you know how to communicate and teach in a very easy to understand. thank you.
Thanks for this breakdown coach Fran. I think I should start fighting like Usyk, or at least developed some of his attributes in my amateur career which I shall be starting this year.
Really good Analysis Fran ! I really enjoyed it ! One small observation thow: you said he dosen't fight in the Philly Shell, well he did fight in the Philly shell or at least defended in the Philly shell and fought with his lead hand down when he fought Dereck Chisora but I think he intentionally did that as to not show his best form, his best stance and technique as to fool Anthony Joshua to think that he is weak and then he proceded to beat Joshua twice 😊 I think he Orchestrated this from the beggining of the Chisora fight fighting in the Philly shell or at least leaving his his lead hand down and also not boxing to the best of his abilities with Chisora as to appear weak. Like Sun Tzu said: "When you are strong appear weak and when you are weak appear strong."
Yeah, good shout. He does often drop his lead hand at long range too and drifts his weight to the rear foot. Very much looking forward to the Fury fight, most interesting heavyweight clash I think for a long time 🥊
One important fact you missed here, is that Usyk is right handed. He had been trained the fencing stance, turning him into a south paw early in his amateur career. Same for Loma, whose father literally made those two exceptional fighters. Another important factor of their success is the very busy schedule they are subjected to. Fighting a lot of opponents, and repeating a lot of different training exercises, is making a boxer fighting relax and keep an excellent consciousness of everything happening in the ring.
He signs autographs with his left hand, probably making him left hand dominant. Look for that video. Loma on the other hand (no pun intended) writes with his right.
Good point Fran Joshua should have used his strengths I believe usyk shocked him when he landed a decent left hand and from then on he thought I better be careful here!
Thanks, very informative. The thing I’d be interested to know is how one closes the gap on a south paw. Usyk always seemed to be circling efficiently. Very hard target to match in terms of footwork
No he didn't, i watched the fight a few days ago. The guy's tough. Fury beat the brakes off him. Wallin did win the last round, but was taking a beating for the last half of the fight
Can you move to the right of an orthodox fighter as an orthodox fighter? My cross feels weird when I am on the right of the opponent... Well I guess I generally fight orthodox so I am on their left. I feel this style works only for southpaws.
You can also make breakdown the technique of Roman Romanchuk, he was a phenomenal Russian boxer. I think that in his best condition he would have won Usik.
Im not gonna lie.. he is great.. but he will always have an advantage over his opponants as he has trained his whole career to fight orthodox fighters and orthodox fighers have to train specifically to fight southpaw.. he will always be a small advantage step ahead... bcos of that... that's opinion anyway..
Funny enough the same thing happens to southpaws, in the rare case they fight another southpaw they tend to be really out of their element. I know that its not the same but a very notable example is conor macgregor, half his arsenal is gone against a southpaw(and its the good half). I believe Hagler had a lot of sucess against hearns by switching to southpaw for long periods of their bout too
@@myboxingcoach In my previous gym at some point we had something like 7 southpaws, with 3 of them being competitive enough that they could provide excellent sparring for me (I'm orthodox). At some point I actually became more efficient and used to southpaws than orthodox boxers ahah. Funny how it works.
There is two keys to victory for any southpaw that i recently discovered and those are also their kryptonites and Usyk, loma and pacman all use these two tools these other avenues and attacks all get opened when these two things is used and since i am southpaw they will stay my secret.
Having watched both these guys in action i was struck by their uncanny similarity in styles. Great styles and great fighters if they are facing lesser opposition, but against the top rung it can unravel as LOMO found out. With Usyk the style has just been ok against the Heavyweights he has fought, but against Fury with his height, weight, and reach advantage i feel it won't do the job. To run around and around and dart in for the odd jab will not work like it did against the others because Fury is as fast as him, and with the huge reach advantage it will be hard for Usyk to get close enough. Fury being the younger man with a proven 12 round engine is a test for real Heavyweights but to a blown up Middleweight who is 6" shorter and at least 60/70lbs lighter on the day with a 6" reach deficit i feel its a stretch too far. Anyway we may never get this far if Joshua pulls off a miracle, and wins the rematch.
Usyk's boxing is based on foot work and his punches are driven by a fake blows to create openings . The only way AJ can beat Usyk is by using his body weight and making the fight dirty like Klinckov
about 2:53 "the phased attack" or "pendulum" footwork out-and-in, "it's a really east european thing to do" WHAT? jeez waste of 3 minutes what nonsense
Usyk is feel. He is very very feel.
I feel you

Errrr...i feel..i very feel

To simulate a southpaw stance u should invert the image. Great video!

No problem 👍 Thanks for watching

Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year Fran. :)
Thank you Christian, you too👍
Love your vids mate
Great vid coach very curious to see more on Usyk cause maybe you point out something i can further improve on.
Great analysis 👍🏽
Thankyou Coach
You're welcome Joshua, thanks for watching 👍
I would love to see usyk vs Tyson fury
Good stuff!
Thank you.
Thanks, very informative. The thing I’d be interested to know is how one closes the gap on a south paw. Usyk always seemed to be circling efficiently. Very hard target to match in terms of footwork
Great lesson Coach ✊!!
Please demonstrate as southpaw if you can.
Brilliant subscribed
Thanks Coach can you break down David Benavidez great work
Nice concept
I wonder if a orthodox boxer can fight the same style as Usyk?
Yes, but some of the tactical stuff changes
How about a retro one on Paul Hodkinson, IMHO the best English boxer of his era were it not for his facial bone structure a la Henry Cooper?
Good one, I boxed before and was a south paw, always like russian amateur boxers. Before Usyk I liked Roman Romanchuk
Romanchuk is an ethnic Ukrainian (from western Ukraine). Then he left for filthy Russia and began to speak for the Rashist occupiers!
Miguel Cotto boxing style please lol
Fury went life and death with wallin who is a lefty . Usyk will stop him in 8 rnds if they fight
To be fair to fury he wasnt at all in trouble until the cut, thats were the fight became a lot more even
No he didn't, i watched the fight a few days ago. The guy's tough. Fury beat the brakes off him. Wallin did win the last round, but was taking a beating for the last half of the fight
@@bradmckee4323 watch it again
@@justinpennington7682 Usyk can’t stop Fury but can go 12 rounds and win by decision.
@@Jayyy_Wav about Any heavyweight than can land on fury can stop him . His punch resistance inst great . It's more in his defense, which has slipped .

True. Primed to defeat orthodox boxers. Same for all orthodoxes though. ony 1 in 9 opponents are likely to be southpaw.

Fran, when using the pendulum, what’s the optimum distance of movement in and out?
Really short Paul. 6 inches maybe. It's all about range awareness
