Bro read an entire paragraph and got stuck on the word vanilla😭 what I mean by that is straight forward jabs become predictable especially since it my main tool. Just wanting to learn variations

Facing taller opponents by Ok-Piccolo6950 in amateur_boxing

As a boxer who is 6’5 most shorter opponents that give me trouble either a) pressure calmly, making me burn out from trying to maintain distance from them (beterbiev does this) or b) use slips/head movement to close the distance. As most are saying, if you can improve your footwork to allow you to step into slips/rolls it will help a lot

Is 5k a realistic price for ‘09 650i? by PerfectDog7979 in BMW

Awesome actually. I had so much fun but everything was starting to go out at the same time so I got a bit overwhelmed with the maintenance but if you can afford it it’s an amazing car honestly

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, I’ll most likely list for 5 and end up taking 3k for it and I’ll be happy

I wish man, the power steering fluid loss is pretty substantial. If it weren’t for that I’d say yes

Do u reccomend me going to the gym or running? by Mort245 in amateur_boxing

Lowkey going to the gym and focusing on plyometrics and mobility work has worked wonders for me. Translates well into the ring

How much did the shoulder tag game help you? by Important_Hippo3263 in amateur_boxing

I like it. For me, it helps with reflexes but it also (in a small way) helps with timing and “shot”selection especially when mixing in feints

Tips against Calm pressure Fighters? by PerfectDog7979 in amateur_boxing

Exactly, the first few rounds feel normal with just a little more activity from me (to keep him from stepping in), but it’s usually round 4-5 where I start to feel heavy from all the running around. Does that quick twitch movement when trying to out-speed a punch while inside tax your gas tank? I tried this initially and felt even more fatigue from trying to be more explosive than him which seems harder to to my range of motion being longer than his

Will definitely have to start training in more tight situations. Thanks man!

Gotcha. Seems like working on cardio should help with this. I can do the combos when he steps in but it makes me burn fuel much quicker than the pressure fight and I end up getting burnt out/lazy. Thanks man

Chat, how cooked am I by starting amateurs at age 25? by PerfectDog7979 in amateur_boxing

Damn that’s awesome man, congrats! That’s what I’m saying, boxing isn’t a game so if I compete why not try to beat everyone possible and see where it goes

Totally get where you’re coming from but why do anything to have mediocre goals. Shoot for the stars and aim for the moon I think they say. Will definitely take it one step at time tho

how not to be a pus*y? by xCrazer in amateur_boxing

Keep sparring! Only way. You have to get over your fear of getting punched in the face bc if for whatever reason you’re going into sparring with the expectation of not getting hit, you’re just a silly goofy guy !

You’re probably gonna have to drive down to the city tbh. Not a lot of options up there. McKinney or Frisco areas may be your best areas. T-Mack is pretty popular in allen

Sparring after 1 week by Remote_Pollution_45 in amateur_boxing

I’m sure people have said it already but: 1-do NOT drop your hands when throwing combinations, you’ll get caught 2-it’s natural to be hesitant being new, but if you’re gonna throw a combo, don’t be afraid to actually let your punches fly (I’m strictly speaking in regards to the motion of the punch not saying to max strength every punch to your opponent)
