Title Bout

martialmaster66 · 03-14-2002, 06:55 PM

I got a big boxing match in a week and if I win then I'll be moved up a rank. It's not an organized league, just a neighborhood thing, but I can earn an easy reputation by winning our version of the the belt. Let me just get straight to the point. If anybody has any boxing pointers then speak up.

Just do what Tonya Harding did.

I think I can give you some advice since I recently got my butt whupped boxing. Just charge right in and start sticking the dude. Don't try to learn his patterns and habits. Just take care of him.

The most common mistake I see is an extended, untucked chin while boxing. This has been my observation while watching primarily untrained fighters. Compare untrained vs. trained strikers and I think you will see this too.

1) Keep your chin tucked.

I also see a lot of strikers standing toe to toe duking it out with each other. When you do this you expend massive amounts of energy and don't accomplish much of anything without luck. A general rule of thumb is to strike in two to three move combinations. Then either move inside his range or outside his range and let his counterstrikes miss or land without focus.

2) Three strikes and move.

3) Stay out of your opponents "range."

And the king of all, condition. Lack of conditioning and stamina is all too often the bane of a good striker. When you gas your hands start to fall and this opens of all kinds of avenues for your opponent.

4) condition, condition, condition.

5) keep your hands (defense) up at ALL times.

But that is simply my opinion, as an untrained boxer, and based on obeservation.

Good luck,

SZ

I'm thinking about using the "rope-a-dope" technique scince this guy isn't the type to last long. I'll probably use a my flicker 3 or 4 times to help tire him out. But what should I use to finish him? I'm asking that because he has an extremely stong guard which will be hard to get past.
