This long range defence looks like sport karate. He's in a back stance ready to drop his weight and shoot in with the rear hand. But just as ready to take a step back and throw a counter if he's rushed.

[@OmariAnderson-fk6ro]

This is one of the greatest defenses bc u can counter everything with less time and less movement. If ur looking for something to help in street fights to attack. This is it. Mix this with ground work or bjj. Ur wining 90% of ur Street fights despite size

[@barryjackson13]

Thats where your footwork and pulls/ pull counters come in. A jab to the body is the most telegraphed punch in boxing. You have plenty of time to react quite effectively.

[@itsrabzei1123]

Feint jab straight right to the body. Or switch stances and jab to body+left hook to body. Or inside slip lead hook to body

[@ignaciomendez5669]

Alternating between this high guard and Philly shell is difficult but it pays off once mastered. I have to change my stance to give different looks I feel like I get my shots off better and it keeps the opponent thinking

[@hakeemwilliams440]

Been saying this for years.

[@brodieheffernan1185]

Good defence, keep in mind that if he throws a faint to the head and you fall for it , he can jab to the body. But you can step back or counter with your back hand .

[@wmurray689]

There was that slow mo wasn't there of him catching with the backhand and then throws it.

[@demeitres100million9]

Sir I disagree. Floyd faced better competition. Ward was great; but Floyd hands down has the best defense. Did you know Floyd Mayweather has an acrylic chin? We didn’t know cause no because people don’t land many big punches on Floyd.

[@HasanIslam-xj4kl]

Philly shell protects the body as well as the head which is why its better

[@enhancingperception766]

Loma does this. Great video.

[@gamal01]

Also, talk about the returning jab after blocking with the lead hand. It is very effective as it has a much shorter distance to travel.

[@stinkmeaner79]

what about the lead hook to the body

[@melkarx7155]

Exact same thing I was thinking and you can maybe double it up by trying to go with the lead hook again to the the head.🤔 So lead body hook then hook to the head with the same hand.

[@unxbabz]

no defence is impenetrable

[@stinkmeaner79]

I disagree. All defenses have flaws but the good ones account for the flaws, not ignore them.

[@mikelundun]

If they get frustrated and try and clear the lead, thats when you throw a right hand straight down the pipe

[@spercival9197]

I disagree. Mayweather’s defense also blocks body attacks, and he can immediately counter with straight rights immediately after parrying power shots; on the ropes might I add.

[@ElDiablo-mb8wr]

It leaves you open for body shots, also this would be a better defensive decision for taller fighters because they could get away with it. For short fighters I would use the Philly shell but not everyone knows how to correctly use it. Overall I would still give it to the Philly shell because you protecting up top, down low while because able to block and parry with you guard hand. Also being able to adjust your jab, angling it or hooking. Most people don’t understand Floyd defense was specifically unique to him because he could lead with a hook and use the jab when he wanted as if it was a hook

[@thatoneguy6165]

You don't know better than Virgil Hunter. Stay quiet.

[@user-oq7bv9eh1c]

That was not a over hand right, that was a hook fella, it's a good defense, yet, it still leave the body open, now I've boxed for many years and all my coaches told me, hurt the body, the arms drop which in turn opens up shots to the head.

[@Thoseboxingbros]

Your coach obviously never taught you distance management

[@user-eq1jv3oo5v]

[@kylebulldog2115]

[@whatdatdogdo]

What about a hook below the lead hand? If they are southpaw I would think they would land this pretty easily, no? Genuine question, just seems pretty exposed to bodywork on the lead hand.

[@Thoseboxingbros]

Dont know why people think this is just keeping the hand out there and standing still 😅

[@Philipp_-cp2xw]

I learned that kind of style in my boxing gym,there are so many way to prevent bodyshots I cant name all sorry.If your lead hand side gets attacked your active guard gets close to your body just in like in the high guard but so simply let it drop more so your elbow can block lets say a jab.If its a lead hand body hook your arm blocks it instead of your elbow.Its important to make your whole body tight and compact like Tyson to avoid openings.You do the same with your rear defense,pretty simple.If you can do the pendelum step you can just quickly jump back out of range and do a pull counter.Anyways just practice and get fast on your feet,thats most important for defense.
