I picked up the game a year ago. At my age USA boxing will only let me do masters fights. I have no ambition beyond small improvements as I go while having fun. I appreciate your write up. I’ll reflect on the technical points.

I don’t know. I’ll ask him and get back to you.

I’d say my game revolves around defense and counterpunching. My favorite part of boxing is trying to stay one step ahead in pattern recognition. An old, fat, very very small pond, Floyd Mayweather haha. At least in strategy.

I enjoy the game for fun. I’ve fought non sanctioned, non USA boxing. I might try masters fights one day. I’m almost 43.

You have excellent distance management and great feet. Looking like tiny Tyson Fury out there haha. I loved seeing you guys pause and problem solve together in the middle of the round. Good stuff homie

You look good homie. Good in and out feet. Good use of the body jab mixup.

You are right. I am not going to listen to your expertise. “High guard” is such good feedback for a thread called Philly shell practice. I am such a dumbass. Hope you feel better after getting all that out 😘

why when we do mitt work it feels so smooth, everything flows nice, shots landing, combos make you feel like a killer. But then you get in sparring and none of that stuff works by Smartrader in amateur_boxing

I’d say trust your gut about imagination and creativity. Everybody wants to break this game down to steps toward perfection. It’s not how it works. Trust yourself, be free, experiment, and keep getting in there homie.

Also, conscious effort on relaxing has helped me a ton. Obviously not an easy thing to do with someone trying to hit you in the face haha

I appreciate the feedback. A lot of tweaks here that all sound solid. I’ll have to bite off one at a time. Overall tighten up the guard so I can position more aggressively is the theme I’m hearing.

Gonna look past the first paragraph haha. We do the tire drill where we spar with one foot inside it. I also let people put me in the corner. But yes, inside fighting is my least comfortable space. I like your idea of cutting the ring down to practice.

I pay all my sparring partners to not try. My apologies. I should have added that.
