Good work bro and well done for getting in there. The biggest error that stands out to me is your range after throwing the shots. You throw some nice straight but then fall in and get tied up. Work on your positioning after throwing the shots. The work isn’t done after landing a combo, you enter the next phase by controlling the distance and sensibly defending any counters whilst getting ready to attack again. If you do can switch your mentality to “what’s next” instead of “I’ve hit him and thats it” you will become a nightmare for anyone.

@Emanuele Amarone No exercises. It’s a mindset shift. Train on the bag and shadow box as you usually would, but now throw EVERY shot with the assumption that you’re going to fall in or that you’re going to get hit back. We need to FORCE you to be cautious after throwing your shots.

Bro this is so good as always! 🙌🏽 I think the reason your distance management isn’t where it needs to be is for the same reason as everybody else’s. The way you’re training/shadowboxing right is installing some subconscious bad habits. Let me explain: Fundamentally all of your shots are clean as hell. The mentality behind them is a bit messy at the moment. Let’s take 0:26 as an example. You throwing an uppercut and then a jab right after. In a real scenario your jab wouldn’t have even been able to extend like that if you were truly in uppercut territory (close range). You need to start shadowboxing as if you were truly fighting an opponent. Set your self some rules from round to round. Round 1: close range - here you’d stick to close range shots like hooks and uppercuts. Again, you wouldn’t have the space to extend your arms for jabs. Round 2: long range - you’d stick to your long shots like a jab and a cross. You’d be way too far out to even land an uppercut. Round 3: starting the combo in close range, stepping back and finishing at long / starting the combo in long range, getting your hands up and closing the gap and finishing the combo in close range. This will add realism to your training and will stop you from throwing any punch at any range and becoming lazy on distance management. 👊🏼

Wow. Very sharp. How many fights have you had? The only 2 things I can point out from these videos are: 1. Make sure when you’re doing an angle change like pivot after throwing your shot, you actually finish the shot first. There was a couple of times where you’d throw a lead body hook or a right uppercut on one leg because you were already focussing on pivoting away. It’d be more optimal to finish throwing with both feet planted and then move off. 2. At times when you open up to throw a combo your chin comes ever so slightly high. Work on keeping it dipped for the whole combo. Your chin and posture looks really good when you’re moving around, and even for most of the single shots you throw, there was just a couple times it would come high when throwing a combo. You don’t want to fight someone who trades combos with you and then get caught with something silly because of this. Other than that, look absolutely unreal, keep it up. If you need anything else or have any questions on this be sure to let me know.

@Emanuele Amarone The patience could be due to nerves holding you back assuming you’re going to get counter punched, which is actually somewhat of a good mentality, it shows you’re cautious and don’t want to get hit, however it won’t allow you to commit to them combos you want to be throwing. This is where feints come into play. Feinting is the safest way to see what your opponents next move is. If I feint a jab against fighter A, I might see he’s looking to counter straight away, then I can throw that shot he was looking to counter and then act accordingly by countering his counter. If I feint a jab against fighter B, he might go straight into a high guard or even take a step back, then I would take a step forward to get him closer to the ropes/corner, or throw my combos as I can see could see from my previous feint he didn’t look like a threat, he was looking to stay there and defend. In conclusion - feints are a safe way to gauge if you’ll be able to commit to a combo without being hit. Combo punching range is usually mid range and close range, how id turn this into a drill is go on the bag or shadow box, stay at long range where youre currently comfortable throwing your jabs and straights, find a way to close the gap with jabs and then just fully commit to a combination. We’re trying to get you comfortable with closing the gap behind a jab to put you in the best position to throw the combos. I’m planning on making a whole video on this soon actually. Finally, you have to change your mentality slightly. You can not swim without getting wet! Understand that even in an attempt to close the gap and throw your combos, you may still get hit. As soon as you can become comfortable enough with this you’ll have a lot more confidence to throw combos.
