    Its always the fighters with pre-emptive defense that reach the highest levels. It's the ultimate mark of elite defensive responsibility, instead of taking a gamble make sure you neutralise any opportunity your opp has to counter.

    Hey enjoyed your content it’s actually pretty solid! Think you should do some for more of the other elite guys at 2021. I saw some good things from Sousa Khyzniak Marcial Aokuso La Cruz Torres and Pero. I think I saw a few robberies from the Cubans, I keep seeing judges favor guys for aggression but not affective ones. Interest terms you use what’s c slot and pendulum?

    • @BoxingGems
      @BoxingGems  2 роки тому +3

      Some gyms call “head slots” head frames. On Centerline is “A” slot, the head position in what would be called a jab slip is the “B” slot and further is a “C” slot. Others use 1,2,3.
      Pendulum steps are just weight distributions from back leg to lead leg or vice versa. Common in a power jab from the back leg completely to the front.

      It’s not a scoring blow because it’s not on a target area and it didn’t look like knuckle area of the glove landed. It’s legality would be at the ref and Olympic boxing commissions discretion.

      Keyshawn doesn’t fight like an amateur boxer anymore and Cruz is probably the best at it within the last 5 years. Cruz is more fluid and has better reflexes, better torso/head movement, quicker hands and feet, higher boxing IQ.

      @@montumeroe9593 You must have a broad definition of a “beginner”. Usually beginners are learning their stance, footwork and jab. But you’re associating “beginner” with a 26 year old man that has won Gold in the EU Championships. That also actually landed some punches on Andy Cruz. Figuratively, Andy Cruz was far more talented so you can say he looked like a “beginner” figuratively(that’s still a little iffy). But he definitely did not look like the traditional meaning of a “beginner” boxer in the literal sense. It’s an opinion in the sense that it’s slightly subjective, but slightly is the key word.
