Head off the line and head will follow, that’s something no coach has ever been able to say. This may not have been as useful for everyone else as much me but this is very good information.
You think so ? A lot of people say head movement I do a lot of footwork drills and still find people telling me to focus on head movement even though I’m pivoting, changing angles, and keeping distance
This would be WAAAAAY down on the list of techniques the average person should care about or even bother learning. If you're dodging punches with this technique, this means you've mastered all the more practical and easier to implement techniques, because something like this will break down under pressure and will not be your "go to" technique precisely because it's so complex and impractical.
You can step with the right foot out and it will take your whole body to that side. Leave your left foot where it’s at and throw your right hand and step out to the right at the same time. It’s not so much of a pivot as it is a side step. Same concept, slightly different outcome.
You can throw a lead hook during the turn to body or wherever. But head makes more sense cause you can control your opponent. It’s called a “cuba/Soviet” step check hook uses this exact movement. Some of the best users are Terence Crawford and Floyd. Most famous example was from Floyd v Hatton imo. Your throw it during the 1st phase(left foot out) Punch lands when your foot lands. Pivot out. You can also just use the hook to push the opponent past you(Crawford v Porter)
That's more of a Cuban/Soviet Technique...Pivoting off the lead leg...where's American/UK Pivots using the rear leg. When I first saw the lead pivot; Def fell in love with it...Tho it was a bit odd to Drill at first for me.
Are you a southpaw? This’ll work to evade and orthodox’s right hand or lead hook. As you step, underhook and push with your lead arm to gain acceleration. Lol Terence Crawford absolutely abuses this maneuver when in southpaw v aggressive opposition, often hooking during. Study Crawford v Porter! Round4 @ :32 is about as good as it gets.
Finally someone to explain using pivot
Go too a boxing gym and they pretty much teach you every pivot in book, following boxingbros ngl there best on yt for boxing tutorials and tips

Watch it again. He says 'Actually you want to get your foot off the line first, then your head will follow'.
Pivot is the most important thing to defense!!!

Great explanation on why & how to use this defensive move. Thank you
I learn better by watching someone do it all the way through.
Dope looking gym there 💪
So explain the pivot but track the camera away from seeing it fluid. Nice camera action.
That was smooth I like that a lot, so that's how you pivot thank you kind sir. I'm not a boxer but great tip to learn
Great explanation of this technique!
You're the first gym I see that's have the Haitian flag in there much love respect brother

Hey maybe you can use it and then the opponent feels that "nah man this guy looks professional, I should not mess" and the fight's over
exactly too many people learn to pivot just to pivot so they can look cool shadowboxing
Great teacher
Love seeing my flag in that gym, respect 🇭🇹
Thx coach!
Nice !
Hi coach, can we do the opposite and pivot to the right instead? If so, do we step with our right foot to the right side first?
You can step with the right foot out and it will take your whole body to that side. Leave your left foot where it’s at and throw your right hand and step out to the right at the same time. It’s not so much of a pivot as it is a side step. Same concept, slightly different outcome.

Nice
Footwork. It matters.
Boots the only fighter that pivots
Amazing video
Just seems to leave him a bit wide on his stance not sure how I’d feel about that
Can you throw a bodyshot while doing a pivot or after you did it?
That’s rare. Likely not with your lead hand before or after. An uppercut or straight from the power side is usually after the pivot.
You can throw a lead hook during the turn to body or wherever. But head makes more sense cause you can control your opponent.

I learned this pivot and the one where I jump on my right to jump on my left to pivot, sounds weird ngl
Pivoting towards a power shot.....it seems like you'd want to avoid that. Shows you what I know.
Seriously so many flags but not a Serbian one that's crazy
Флаг российской федерации следовало бы разместить перед входной дверью
But what about the Left head🥴(just joking)
What about southpaw?
Are you a southpaw?
This’ll work to evade and orthodox’s right hand or lead hook. As you step, underhook and push with your lead arm to gain acceleration.
Lol Terence Crawford absolutely abuses this maneuver when in southpaw v aggressive opposition, often hooking during.
Study Crawford v Porter! Round4 @ :32 is about as good as it gets.
Why would you lean into him why not slip left?
No roll under
That’s an option. If the right hand turns into a hook.
You box with your feet nothing else
@sweetscienceboxing im not getting it unless im looking at it wrong and trying it by myself help me better understand it
Nice
