4 Boxing Styles | What is Your Style?| Coach Daron Boxing

[@RandalKeithOrton420]

A good example I like to use to compare styles, is the big 3 of the golden era of boxing. Ali, Foreman, and Frazier. Ali was a great out-fighter, Frazier was a great swarmer, and Foreman was a great slugger/brawler puncher. I always find it interesting, like Frazier beat Ali because he didn’t let Ali get distance, and pressured Ali, Foreman beat Frazier because sluggers/puncher brawlers like their opponents to get into the inside, and pummle them with destructive blows, and Ali beat Foreman by staying on the outside, and using the rope-a-dope tactic to tire out Foreman, and frustrate him, not allowing him to land any solid punches that otherwise would prove deadly. It’s like a game of rock, paper, scissors if you think about it.

[@dinaertos8194]

Tyson was no swarmer, he was an aggressive counterpuncher working from mid-range Foreman was more of a boxer-puncher since his understanding of the game was on another level and the tactics he used were just old and forgotten by most but they still worked very effectively Wilder is anything but a brawler, a brawler wants to slug it out, wilder relies only on his straight right hand

[@jaw9095]

@@dinaertos8194 exactly, i hate it when people say tyson is a swarmer because he was just too skillfull to be a swarmer but people think because he was a ko artist he was a swarmer. the best examples of a swarmer in my opinion are joe frazier and marciano. these 2 guys would always just push forward. foreman was a slugger, thats why foreman beat frazier so easily because he had such a good stylistic matchup against frazier.

Go down to 175, your stamina and striking would be better suited there but if your comfortable weight is 180 and up then idk how your gonna get that conditioning and keep that weight. Im 5,11 and 138 pounds, before i was 146 but acquiring the stamina took a ton out of me no matter how much i ate. I ended up dropping down a class. Its hard to keep weight it really is, especially boxing if you wanna wield that power you might have to chip some off to make it sharper. Never go too low though. Its not good for anyone, or to watch.

Really enjoyed this video. I’m in my early 30’s now but was really into boxing in my 20’s. Never had the finances to go to a gym and have a trainer so I did A LOT of research and training on my own. Watching your video was awesome. It reminded me of a time I got overwhelmed by a swarmer. It frustrated me so much that I spent the next 2months working on my footwork and constitution. The next time we went at it, he gassed and I won. Your video helped me to identify my style and drive. I’m a boxer puncher. I was having a hard time pinpointing that because I never felt comfortable with the title of a counter puncher and always staying outside. Even though I have longer arms, and enjoy midrange, I am always willing to go in, take a few shots, so I could get my harder shots in. My straight right is my bread and butter though. Anyways, thanks for the video!

[@coachdaronboxing]

Brilliant! I used to have that same problem with swarmers in my early boxing days but I eventually learned how to deal with them too. Glad to help brother

[@theflamingash3407]

I love the right straight, fast, powerful, good range, it's just so reliable

[@TalkyMikey]

I find myself using all of the 4 styles, it's the ability of a boxer to adapt mid fight too. For example, if your opponent is taller than you that means he has longer reach and you gonna have to be the in-pucher for that. If a guy is mid-close puncher you can deal with him in counterpunching manner and vice versa. And, my favorite, whenever I find myself cornered I just go fucking nuts (4th style, brawler), and once I get a guy out of my "discomfort" zone I just change style. Always keeps opponent guessing

[@Drewscottsman7749]

As a natural switch hitter and because I started as a shotokan karate and taekwondo fighter, I favor using both sides and quick tapdancing style footwork to keep my opponent away. I don't get hit very often and when I do I have learned how to roll with a punch rather than just taking it. If I had to pick a style I would be a mix of a swarmer and counter puncher because I don't favor one specific style. I use a different style for each fight I'm in because I like to evolve and adapt.

Good stuff man sounds like you're a natural fighter!

I personally like counter punch style. Keeping opponents at bay then countering when the time is right. I can switch from that style to a sort of unorthodox style. When I say that I mean anything I throw you won’t expect coming, I’ll keep my guard down to purposely bait you, I feel as if this needs a good reaction speed because one wrong move and it could be over.

"Street fighting" is the new way of saying "amateur skill, champion ego". Real street fighters can be tough and brutal but I'd honestly be surprised if even 10% of guys going into MMA or boxing have been in more then 1 real street fight (school yard brawls dont count and neither do back yard boxing matches). Foreman and Tyson were true thugs before they got into boxing and it gave them a solid base to build on but they got into real fights, they didnt fight some fall down drunk 1 time in an alley or fight a friend in their back yard 1 time and then instantly say they were the next world champion.

Ive been boxing for almost 6 years now and i kinda do all three but as my skill and strength increased i gravitated to the brawler just because i usually get cleaner punches off quicker than who im against and i use alot of head movement and stride steps

An excellent example of how to deal with a great boxer-puncher is Mayweather vs Canelo. Mayweather was amazing in that fight and I still can't believe one of the judges scored it a draw.

[@syncmonism]

At least from what I've seen, it is my impression that a boxer-puncher style seems to be the most successful style out of the four. It's basically a hybrid of two of the other styles, but requires a wider array of skills and abilities as a result, so it also seems like something which is more difficult (or at least time consuming) to learn to do well, but which has more potential if you can manage to become really good at both, and at mixing them together effectively, imo. Sugar Ray Leonard, Naoya Inoue, or even Tyson Fury come to mind (among others). The styles definitely do seem to work a bit differently at different weight classes, and some styles might not fit very neatly into one of these four categories either. Heavyweight is weird, in part because it's the only class where there is sometimes a big size difference between opponents. Most heavyweights (especially the larger ones) tend to have alot of potential to be good punchers, so it makes sense that they train to be able to utilize that potential. A heavyweight doesn't even need to be a particularly hard puncher for their size in order to be able to land damaging punches which are likely to lead to knockdowns or knockouts. Fury seems to have more of a reputation for being a pure boxer, but I think it's just that more of a pure boxing approach has often been the best strategy for him because of how he matched up against his opponent. I haven't seen a lot of footage from his earlier fights, but my guess is that he actually always was a boxer-puncher rather than a pure boxer (he certainly does have a ton of KO's). He definitely wasn't using a pure boxing style in his second fight with Deontay Wilder, though I guess you might even argue that it was more of a swarming style than a boxer-puncher style that Fury was using in that fight? It was definitely a very unusual matchup.

[@syncmonism]

Not only is there often a big difference in size and shape at heavyweight, there is also often a bigger difference in skill as well, because larger boxers are often able to rely on their size to overcome a potential deficit in skill (or they might be able to rely on size, reach, or power to make up for a deficit in speed, athleticism, or even fitness). Wilder and Fury are both very unusual heavyweights, so it shouldn't be surprising that the style matchup between them was also unusual. I think a lot of people think of Wilder as being a big heavyweight, but he's actually not, it's just that he has basically all of the qualities which are commonly associated with big heavyweights, which is really weird if you think about it. He's tall, he has great reach, he has great power, and he's also relied heavily on his physical ability to make up for a lack of skill. I think a lot of people actually think of him as a "large heavyweight" because of this. Pound per pound, Wilder is an incredible athlete to have been able to have had as much success as he has had, considering that he's actually a relatively light heavyweight with a pretty limited skill-set. And, while I say that he's "small" he does have a pretty big frame relative to most other heavyweights, and probably has the potential to become a lot heavier.

[@syncmonism]

Obviously there are a huge variety of variations (and possible variations) of these styles, including styles which hybridize some or even all of these styles?

[@coachdaronboxing]

I’m a mix between 1 & 2. I attack with a combo and back up in an evade state and back to Attack state. So I’m always attacking and Evading when fighting. I usually Evade when I’m thinking of another possible move while fighting to prevent me from getting tired on a move that wouldn’t normally work on someone or something i can’t beat. I evade more on someone bigger and stronger, so I let them come to me instead until they get tired enough to beat. When they do a go back to an attack state and repeat.

I’m around your height and what works for me is pressuring to get on the inside and work my combos. Also ALOT of head movement since most guys have more reach than me and you. Out boxing can still work if you have the footwork for it.

[@coachdaronboxing]

That's great but now you need to also get comfortable with in boxing so you can be a well rounded fighter

[@colten3743]

The comfortability of being an outboxer is usually correlated to the fear of getting hit in my experience. I feel the same way too where it’s a lot easier to not get hit when you’re farther away. However, being a good inboxer allows you the ability to hit more often (not having to step out of their range before going back in). So being able to fight inside would probably be a huge help. Just work a lot on head movement in low power sparring sessions as well as in training to build the muscles necessary. Good luck man!
